“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause.) I will try to clear up several important issues. Of course, on one level Ruburt wants to be home, and you want him home also. On another level, he is afraid of going home, thinking it almost impossible under current conditions. This applies to you also.

He is afraid of going home because of current conditions — but that fear also prolongs current conditions. To some extent or another, you have both been afraid of making any plans at all concerning Ruburt’s return home, because they seem impractical at the present time. Both of you do indeed think in terms of impediments that do indeed seem all too real: the responsibility of maintaining good health, the financial question — and on Ruburt’s part, at least, the fear that he would not recover fully enough, but become ill again and require hospital attention once more.

In this confusion of thoughts and fears, the goal of Ruburt’s recovery, or even of a considerable improvement within a foreseeable period of time, is lost. You have to eradicate as much of that fear and confusion as possible. See the goal as certainly possible. Begin to consider plans — for the plans themselves will help Ruburt’s condition improve, and will begin to diminish those impediments that now loom so large in both of your minds.
