“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The Sinful Self was highly suspicious of any such activity. I believe we have begun an excellent natural therapy in that regard. Ruburt is working at all angles of the problem at other levels of consciousness now, and the Sinful Self is beginning to feel a new sense of give-and-take. (Pause.) Other portions of Ruburt’s personality do utilize our material also, of course, and we deal with a certain kind of natural pacing. It is an excellent idea to go over these sessions one at a time and keep the material in the forefront of consciousness for a while.

(9:38.) The ideas of the flesh itself being graced also seemed quite blasphemous then to the Sinful Self. It is quite ready to reorganize its reasoning, however, once it is reached. In the past it has been ignored—another good question. Incidentally, it has been unaware of Ruburt’s own knowledge of the close connection between inspiration, for example, and the body’s comfort and relaxation. (Pause.) It approves of inspiration, but it is the part of the personality that is also afraid of unofficial information because of the very belief system that gave it birth.

(Jane turned on the television after a very brief discussion. I wanted badly to study this session with the idea of basing future questions upon it. I wanted to know how suffering could be good for the soul, among other questions, since from its supposedly exalted position one would hardly think the soul needed suffering to improve its position or understanding. My feelings toward the Sinful Self were certainly not charitable, nor was I about to concede it a state of grace in view of its damaging actions, even if Jane has ignored it and shut off communication. There is much to be learned here. Perhaps we’ve finally got a good hold on what needs to be done.)
