“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your affection for Leonard is strong. Your desire to be in contact with him was greater than your fear. What happened was that the communications were forced to take another route. You experienced chest discomfort. Now that chest discomfort immediately reminded you of your friend, and was meant, again, to tell you that he was in some difficulty. By the time we had our session last night, the difficulty was largely over. Your own feelings, however, exaggerated the signals to begin with, and to some extent prolonged them.

Ruburt actually followed through for you—not realizing this consciously, by finally calling Leonard this morning, when he discovered that Leonard had been feeling poorly, off and on during the same time that you had your difficulties, and that Leonard was looking for someone to do an errand (buy a thermometer).

Actually, Ruburt had thought of calling before, but also did not for fear of aggravating your own situation. He was even tempted to not tell you the entire situation for the same reason—and that entire process is a conscious version of what you did at other levels. You would not tell yourself that Leonard could stand some help, because your fear made you misinterpret the message.

(1:38.) In this case you had a kind of sympathetic drama that was symbolically and literally meant to remind you of Leonard. The cellular signals were sent out, but you could have reacted to them in any given number of ways once you received them. You wanted to receive them, or you would not have. Again, they could have been simply translated into a thought like: “Maybe I should call Leonard. He might want some help.” But the fears you had set about the situation prevented that easy translation.

(In the call this morning, Jane learned that Leonard had overdone his physical activities at the house, and suffered some discomfort as a result. His doctor told him to take it easy, as did his sister-in-law. The errand he needed doing involved purchasing a thermometer. He told Jane it hadn’t occurred to him to ask me to get it for him; instead he’d called another friend. So did Leonard pick up my own fears about his situation, and avoid calling me because of them?
