“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(9:00 during a rather steady, emphatic delivery.) Man has within him the need to rest and to explore, to stay by “the hills of home,” (from Thomas Wolfe), and to explore beyond them, but such a relatively accessible second environment does have certain advantages for you and Ruburt over those it sometimes presents for others, and such a willingness to explore the probability alone can give you some excellent results by providing a new elasticity of attitude, and in a fashion by bringing home in a different way the idea that the present is the point of power.

(Pause at 9:15.) It is quite healthy, particularly at certain stages, for young children to sleep together in the same room or even in the same bed, as long as some opportunity for seclusion is provided to them when they want it—for at night the ancient families did indeed refresh and heal themselves. You can consciously retrain yourself to use the ability more freely and directly, and in many instances one individual can help heal another easier than the person can himself. That is, the suffering person, to whatever degree, already mistrusts or distrusts the nature of his own abilities, but usually can and will accept such a loving attention from another family member, or even from a friend. I meant to mention these points in particular.

(Long pause at 9:27. Much slower now:) It is best, beginning, to deal with specifics, working with any given small area—actually somewhat in the same manner that an animal might lick the fur of another. You have both made some rather important connections lately (long pause), that can only serve to remind you of an important point: Ruburt’s “symptoms” should not be regarded as one black blot of a certainly reprehensible quality, sometimes seen in a quite hopeless light, but as a combination or result of quite changeable, quite moveable, quite separate characteristics that can also be dealt with separately, moved around and so forth, relieved or dissolved.
