“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause.) Children spontaneously take it for granted that their acts will result in the most favorable circumstances, and that any given situation will have a favorable end result. These attitudes pervade in the animal kingdom also. They are embedded in the life of insects, and in fish and fowl. They are the directions that provide life with purpose, direction, and impetus. No organism automatically expects to find starvation or disappointment or detrimental conditions — yet even when such circumstances are encountered, they in no way affect the magnificent optimism that is at the heart of life.

(I didn’t realize it until I got home, but I forgot to read the session to Jane. However, she remembered that Seth had said she was to make a friend of impatience. But her impatience is growing, no doubt about it, and if it continues to do so I’m sure it will bring about — even force — changes in her behavior and attitude. I know it’s coming. I hope — I expect — that the body will have prepared itself for the changes in routine and motion when they do finally arrive.)
