“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This morning, following the suggestions Seth gave in the session Saturday night, Jane and I embarked upon a new program of suggestion through using the pendulum, writing down feelings, and so forth. All material is to be accumulated in a deleted notebook for study. Jane has already written her first page of feelings; among other items, it concerned her feelings about the delays on Emir, and her sleeping for a couple of hours this afternoon.

I want briefly to explain a few more reasons why I suggested a change of program. There is nothing wrong with asking “Are you afraid of thus and so?” of the pendulum, for example—particularly when specific events are involved, and where action is possible. For example “Am I afraid of the implications in this letter?” and then, according to the reply and circumstances, Ruburt answers the correspondent in a particular fashion, states his feelings, or does not answer at all.

Your pendulum exercises—and again, they were helpful—were still largely Framework 1 references. The pillow pounding was simply meant to allow physical expression that would vary on different days, and would open the body to the idea of the normal exertion of such energy. When you number the number of times, and so forth, then you are dealing with something else, with Framework 1 reasoning. All that can spread over into other activities.

When you do the morning suggestions then, keep Framework 2 in mind, for you are placing your intents there. The writing-down of feelings and any subsequent pendulum follow-through on specific feelings or events allows you to deal with necessary Framework 1 activity.

(10:29 PM. There are several excellent points in the session that we can integrate with the previous one – especially those about using the pendulum to check out specific fears, etc. In larger terms, Seth’s admonition to “let go the effort” is very important.
