“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jim Poett said that we would see the article before it’s printed, at our insistence; I’d find it strange indeed to cooperate with a venture that would end up taking us apart in ways we didn’t approve of. But Jane says she trusts him, and I’m willing to go along with her feelings on the matter.)

A good deal of the time, he hid his own decisions from himself. His nature is open—basically trustful, and direct in its dealings with the world and others. He began to find, of course, that the world could react quite differently to openness and trust. He has great powers of concentration, as indeed all mystics do, and everything in his environment becomes charged and important.

While trusting himself enough to use the abilities—and in a largely uncongenial social atmosphere—he still found it necessary to be highly critical, and not to rely upon the abilities too much, lest he was unknowingly as deluded as many people would certainly say he was. That meant, however, that to some degree he cut himself off from solutions that the abilities themselves could provide.

The pendulum suggestions are meant to reinforce the basic trust in the self, and in the self’s abilities to handle experience without enforcing artificial armor. Both of you chose to do what you are doing, and accepted your historical period.

Give us a moment.... Ruburt acted as naturally as possible today, reminding himself to be spontaneous. Your natural way of dealing with the world is also one of trust (to me), but you also feel that the world might betray such trust. True trust, however, is your greatest protection, and you cannot be betrayed, for you will not attract deceivers. It is far better to trust, for you open up Framework 2 so that benefits become available that might otherwise not be—and even if it seems that a trust is betrayed in an individual case, the overall picture will prove to be far different.
