SESSION 830 (DELETED PORTION)

(The following material is from the 830th session. Break came at 10:25, after Seth had delivered material for his book on the mass psyche. The notes that follow were written during that break, and would usually be presented with the regular session; however, since they’re more personal than usual, they’re given below instead. Jane’s quotations in them do apply, however, to material Seth had given as dictation for Psyche.)

(Resume at 10:53. Seth did go into the two questions I’d asked at the start of the session.)

Now give us a moment.... You should both read tonight’s session, book dictation, with Ruburt’s situation in mind. You have tried to maintain stability while you work, and have schooled yourselves so that it is not disrupted. You are still both afraid—Ruburt primarily, of course—of really trying for fear you will be disappointed, and worried at the disruptions that might occur—again, Ruburt primarily. Most of all, however, he has identified of late with what he thinks of as his failure.

The winter doldrums always affect him, but are of course reinforced. Today’s visitor (Josette) came in response to Ruburt’s need, bringing him appreciation and a new encounter—but tonight’s session dictation can be of considerable benefit to you both. Ruburt simply drops the issue for a while—and then he feels panicky—at times a quite normal reaction to a sense of powerlessness. Neither of you have persisted with the Framework 2 methods.

(11:00.) The lack of persistence simply shows that in large measure your way of life suits you both, regardless of its consequences. You are obviously dissatisfied, however. Again, in the session there are strong clues, but you—or rather, Ruburt primarily must take advantage of them. The pendulum is excellent, particularly when you do it together. It can be used to advantage, particularly together, in the mornings for suggestions. Only a brief time is required. The intent is the important thing—and then for another short period to search for current reasons behind behavior. There should not be a concentration upon the problem—as a problem.

You are in the middle of a learning process. Do not think one portion of the personality is sabotaging another portion. Instead, one personality is working with a system of beliefs, and trying to attain an overall synthesis. That is all for tonight’s session. My heartiest good wishes and a fond good evening.
