“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The millionaire checks all of the locks, perhaps, or has the bank president show him the latest security measures that are being taken—and to some degree, now, Ruburt, and you to a lesser degree, have checked Ruburt’s security system. Was it secure enough to keep you from accepting invitations, to allow you to avoid distractions, or emotional complications that might arise from any considerable contact with others in, say, “professional terms?” Ruburt built the edifice, but you looked on, for though you disliked the building blocks, say, the symptoms—you thought until very lately that it did serve its purpose very well.

Your household situation was set up with Ruburt’s immobility, relatively speaking, largely uncontested. As it became harder for him to navigate, it became “easier” for him to stay at home. Now you are contesting the issue, and (in) doing so, some patterns should become apparent. It takes your time, and his now, to encourage his walking, and if this is in “working hours,” both of your old beliefs are directly challenged.

You have seldom assured him that one day he would be walking normally, because, of course, you are also caught in the same dilemma. Often in your society you are afraid to hope for the best, because you have been taught so long that misfortune is in one way or another the natural course of events.
