“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your idea of looking at events as you did the other evening (re Tom D’Orio) is excellent, and can be most illuminating. There will also be days when it is quite obvious that the framework provides only for your own inconvenience and discomfort—but the fact that it is a framework, created and maintained, is important.

(Long pause.) The desk is also another symbol for man’s knowledge of the past. I do want to stress the advantage of examining such events as your visit of the other evening, and the ways in which either or both of you use the framework of Ruburt’s symptoms, while urging you again not to overly concentrate upon such matters. Again, any changes you insert help break up old reactions. Your conscious awareness of the situation, however, will to some extent automatically alter the situation, for you are working with it at another level.

Ruburt’s insights this afternoon are quite legitimate. Your notes were a way of presenting the material. The symptoms were a way of presenting the material. That is the connection Ruburt was trying to make. This will be a relatively brief session, and again other psychological events connect the session material with your private experience as you make certain translations that are necessary quite for yourselves.
