“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

His method of dealing with the affair was also good in this way. He gave himself a time period that he knew he could reasonably handle. There is no use in telling yourself in absolute terms that you will never project negatively. To expect any kind of commitment to an invisible future is too much in that regard. Ruburt can, however, each day tell himself that for that day he will try to avoid such negative projection. That kind of method gives you something to work with, and a time period you can handle.

(10:21.) Give us a moment.... In terms of creativity, however, Ruburt has long been operating in Framework 2, and this session should help him make certain correlations so that he can automatically begin to use such methods in regard to his physical condition.

I simply want to remind you of that other level, so that you can begin—gently, now, gently—to alter your emphasis, to begin to emphasize the use of suggestion in a new creative way. I have used the word creative before, asking you both to utilize creative methods to the physical situation. What I was actually doing was trying to point you toward Framework 2, where you do each have faith in the nature of ideas, suggestions, and achievement. You know the power of an idea, but you have not applied that to the physical problem. I hope that the session will arouse you both in that regard.

The two of you often misunderstand your patterns of behavior in that regard, for they operate at many levels of your lives. Ruburt is pragmatic, however, in that he insists upon relating philosophy to daily life—but, again, by providing overall models for behavior, rather than, say, specific detailed method.

This balance is to a large extent responsible for the fact that the material reaches so many people, and your own joint characteristics in that regard are more obvious to your readers than to yourselves. The entire scope of the material of course reflects your joint questions—but Ruburt’s are often unformed, dealing with intuitive issues that he does not trust to verbalization.

He trusts the direction of the sessions to cover whatever detailed information is necessary, and he does rely upon your questions in that regard.
