“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Today I read the deleted session for June 24, 1973—one of those in the 1973 deleted book that Seth suggested I read, in the last session. I was dismayed to realize that some four and a half years had passed since that session had been held, and that we were still struggling with the same problems—indeed, that Jane had lost much ground physically in the interim. I read the material and it plagued me through the day. I explained my feelings to Jane as we sat for the session, and as I talked felt myself sink into a deep depression. Once again, I wondered what we’d been doing while all that time passed.)

I have given you endless material on the importance of significances, and how you build upon them according to your focus. In that one area of Ruburt’s condition, you focus upon the improvements that occur. You do not compare the present situation with a past one in a detrimental manner. You live in the present. All of the recent material I have given you has enabled you to see some considerable results because for a time you have managed to give yourselves some peace of mind—at least enough to move ahead.

Ruburt recaptured that sense of acceleration, at least momentarily. In Personal Reality I stressed many of these points for our readers, but you yourselves forget to apply them in that one important area of your lives. The last sessions managed to rearouse your faith, but you yourselves must tend it, as indeed, Joseph, you tend your plants. Do not identify with what you think of as past failures. The point of power is in the present, and when you believe changes can occur, they do indeed happen.

To some extent the perspective one, two, three material is related to Frameworks 1 and 2, for the symbols of your mind grow in their own fashion, changing shape and form, but following the emotional content rather faithfully. If you truly understood what I am saying, you would realize the importance of encouraging optimistic, jestful feelings of faith, of cultivating them—for it is far more important to collect them than money. They represent far greater security, defense, and strength. They are far more practical than any negative considerations, regardless of how realistic those might appear at any given time.
