“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First of all, many of the questions reinforce the idea of fear, for example, or lack of safety, each time they are asked. Am I afraid of the world? Am I afraid of my neighbors? Am I afraid of inspiration, or whatever? Do I trust the world or inspiration or whatever?—but your questions themselves are now loaded with built-in negative suggestions. Besides this, in an odd fashion, they lack a certain specific nature, as I will shortly explain, and there are too many of them by far to be handled at one session. That is, their number precludes any one single clear path, specifically noted. I want to stress the purposes they have served, and their general nature and so forth did help to bring up a variety of important issues. You now have too jumbled a variety of material to effectively handle.

The negative aspect of some of the questions has not helped. I would like to suggest a different approach, and one that would have greatly benefited the situation yesterday, say, and today, had it been used earlier.

(9:52.) Give us a moment.... a long one.... You said yourself I believe once that life contains elements of each other reincarnational existence, and that each day did also. The problems and attitudes that bother Ruburt also appear—one or another of them—in each day. The pendulum can best be used to deal with specific events, with specific attitudes. I want to suggest a different kind of program, that is, a version of what you have, and that will bring better results. I am aware of course of your conversation this morning, and I must state that it is difficult for me to try to explain what is so clear to me, and obviously unperceived by either of you a good deal of the time.

So for now I simply suggest that Ruburt walk gently three or four times a day to whatever degree seems natural at the time. Otherwise, my position is this —and here I repeat—because overall changes in position and balance are necessitated in order for normal walking to occur, one portion of the body at this point is not going to right itself so that, for example, Ruburt’s arms are suddenly straight while his knees are bent. All portions of the body are stretching. The arms are longer. The legs have straightened. The knees are looser. The neck areas are releasing—but at any given day or period, right now, one or several areas might well be stiff or uncomfortable.

(10:25.) I cannot change my stand on that issue, regardless of your opinions of it, the two of you. Everything that I am saying tonight is an effort to minimize Ruburt’s discomfort, and to quicken the healing. I am going to suggest a program, and regardless of what you think of it, the two of you, I would like you to try it, and urge you to do so. I do not expect that you will approve of it entirely, but I can assure you that it will be beneficial if you try to place trust in what I am saying.

After breakfast, use the pendulum to insert positive suggestions of a specific nature—not about the world, but psychological supports and directions for the specific day. Such suggestions do direct your focus psychologically.

Do this together. The suggestions should be clear and to the point. Ruburt has two old lists of such suggestions that can be used as a model—and those lists worked well, incidentally, at the time.

The set of the day in the morning, however, should consist of positive suggestions that automatically reassure the subconscious of its energy, strength, and safety—for those reassurances automatically help alter beliefs that have been built upon countering feelings. That is, you are then adding new information upon which the subconscious will then act.

It is most likely, however, that those subjects will come up, you see, in any case in his daily writing down of feelings. The writing down allows for the immediate release and expression of feeling that becomes impossible with so many pendulum questions. The pendulum can also be used quite effectively, for only a few moments, but habitually, before bed—the two of you together—with Ruburt suggesting that he will rest comfortably and awaken refreshed in the morning, that he will have a therapeutic sleep.
