“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such evidence can be of small or large measure. For example, it is a statement of fact, my dear Joseph, that when you leave your work on “Unknown” you must then spend much time reacquainting yourself with the material, struggling to assimilate material, regaining continuity, and so forth. I know of your trick with the crossword puzzles, so that words later come to your mind at your suggestion. That is also a fact, and you constantly reinforce that fact whenever you have difficulty with puzzles—so that difficulty is most usually turned into an enjoyable challenge, with resulting triumph.

You have often allowed old beliefs to the contrary to inhibit the exercise of your own mental acuity. You can indeed change that, but you must realize it, and want actively to do so. You must stop reinforcing the negative suggestion, and instead when you leave your desk tell yourself that when you return you will pick up your work where you left off easily and naturally.

The same sort of thing appears when Ruburt gives himself poor suggestions. It is highly important now that he add a new emphasis, encouraging relaxation, which brings along with it always greater freedom to move and respond.

Ruburt’s trunk has been in a constant state of change. Both of the suggestions that I gave him this evening will be most helpful if followed, for they will allow the physical processes of healing to continue with less strain.
