“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause.) It may be far more pleasant to be good-humored all of the time — but in Ruburt’s situation the fairly infrequent periods of blueness do indeed operate therapeutically, so that he is able to express those feelings through tears, and therefore relieve the body of expressing the same feelings through additional symptoms.

There is a certain residue, in other words (pause) of fairly desolate feelings — and these are working themselves out through such expression, thus freeing the body for additional improvements. He (as Seth sometimes addresses Jane, because of her male entity name, Ruburt) progresses at a certain rate, for example, and encounters some blockages, due to doubts and fears. These are then released and expressed through tears or through a recognized period of blueness. Then the system is cleared again, and the way clear for more improvements.

It shows he is ready to encounter himself, and at least willing to look kindly upon himself. Of course, the lipstick is an excellent idea, and the eyebrow pencil, so that he begins to care for his face as he used to. The face’s expression accurately reflects the inner self-image, as odd as it may seem. A smile, even when he does not feel like smiling, builds up the self-image, and affects the entire bodily condition.
