“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane answered by telling me how she felt this morning—“discombobulated” —meaning that various parts of her body seem to move, or want to move, out of rhythm or sync with other parts—but that overall she recognizes that those are all healthy signs of the body trying to heal itself. She then said that more and more it was going to be up to us to pull ourselves out of our difficulties, since it seemed we’d get little help from others. She wants us to be as optimistic as we can. These ideas are a great improvement over her earlier attitudes, of course, and we’ll see what we can do. They also probably answer some of my questions about the role her sinful self may be playing these days.

(Long pause.) As I mentioned, the beliefs of your society are everywhere embodied in all of its organizations and professions. The give-and-take between any given individual and his or her society therefore are fascinating, as the individual and mass beliefs are reinforced. Since you are starting from scratch, so to speak, then you have only each other to rely upon. Really try to see it as a challenge—the daily reinforcement of trust and belief—so that, again, each of you particularly encourage those emotions of hope and optimism that are so important. In a fashion you are your own church, school, college. In a sense you are your own parents as you attempt to bring into physical reality an entirely new body of concepts and beliefs. You have the individual and joint abilities to aid each other immeasurably in that regard. Earlier you simply were not ready to make that fuller transition, and again, that transition, once decided upon, is indeed effortless.
