“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane felt very relaxed before the session, as she had most of the day: “The first day I’ve had it made in a month,” she said. Still, she’d become blue temporarily in the bathroom after supper. She did want to have a session, though. After our meal I’d reread some of these late private sessions, and had planned to go over some of those from 1973, but various distractions prevented me from doing the latter.

(As we sat waiting I read to Jane pages 4 and 5 of the private session for October 22, 1973—excellent material concerning the contrasts displayed by Jane’s parents. Seth had discussed her father’s laxness, and her mother’s drive toward purpose, power, and control, and how Jane had felt that she must make a choice between the two modes of behavior. Not realizing that she could choose her own independent course. The session and others dating from that time offers very good insights into Jane’s choice of actions over the years. “Well, I guess he’s gotten turned on by what you just read,” she said now—for now she felt that Seth was ready to come through. She’d been waiting impatiently for some time for you-know-who to put in an appearance.)

In others words, you often expect too much of yourselves. This makes you dwell upon any difficulties, so that any blemishes are overly emphasized, any accomplishments taken for granted, and you are left with a sense of disapproval. (Pause.) Then you lack trust in yourselves because you try to live up to images that are not connected with your backgrounds, and often ignore them. What you have learned seems as nothing, because you forget how your attitudes changed.
