“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I would heartily suggest that you and Ruburt consider (underlined) the possibility of buying Paul’s cottage. The consideration itself is what I am after —the willingness to explore a probability that has come into your attention—because in so doing you remind yourselves of the freedoms that are (underlined) available in your terms, and because such a consideration, among other things, will allow you to automatically see your beliefs from a different focus, through another picture frame.

Such a consideration brings also to mind gears about changing the status quo, of adding to life’s ordinary distractions. (Pause.) Now in many ways you and other people close your eyes to such probabilities when they do present themselves, so that fears overall predominate, while any desirable characteristics or benefits of whatever quality largely remain unexplored and inactive.

That is, you increase the feeling and intent of power by considering it in such action, whether or not in your world you pursue that particular issue—and I do not mean to consider the issue hypothetically either, but as a quite possible desirable course of action that you may or may not pursue. This means also that you are bringing such an issue into conscious light, that you are not afraid of making such a choice, and that you are thankful that the choice itself is available to you.

Many habits of repression come about because you are afraid to make conscious decisions, or simply do not want to be bothered with them, and certainly all probable events do not attract you to any important degree. It is, however, an excellent policy to seek out the available conscious decisions that can be made in your lives, for you see your own situations then in a newer clearer light. Period.

(Of course, I was nonplussed, thinking at once of the extra work involved in first purchasing, then second running a second establishment, when it seems that I barely manage to find the time to do what I’m doing now. I understood Seth’s material on the subject, and even agreed with it, I told Jane after the session. I added that it wasn’t a question of money, meaning that I thought the money would be provided should we decide to undertake such a project. But the time.... and I did fear that the extra work couldn’t but help cut into painting time, or typing time, or whatever. Jane agreed....)
