“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

What you want is not a crisis situation, but a therapeutic situation—so change the statements of your thoughts. Your intent now is to create a therapeutic situation. Otherwise, your concentration is upon crisis.

Ruburt has been afraid of your reactions as Events and God of Jane meet the public world. I do not want to hurt either of your feelings (pause), but in your cases the creation of a crisis period is not beneficial. This does not mean there cannot be discussion, or decisions made about seeking help from others, or whatever, but that the idea of a crisis situation aggravates the very natural feelings (long pause) that are present and unfortunately exaggerated in the entire situation.

(8:52.) Now that situation, plus the mental strains of the crisis condition, brought about the present situation. The physical situation will change in any case, and for the better (long pause), but the crisis situation itself helped rearouse Ruburt’s lack of trust. It has often been thought that love-making in some way impairs creativity; in fact, it is highly conducive to all kinds of creative endeavor—a point I want to emphasize.

Now some people deal with critical situations, and it is in the nature of their temperament. This would involve many in various categories: they run from one crisis situation to another, using such crises as impetuses. These people often relax completely in between, however. In chronic situations you often have a steady drainage, say, of energy. There are little reserves, in usual terms, now, for such crises.

[...] You interpreted his situation precisely as he did, and for the same reasons, so of course there was no answer for this manufactured crisis, except that he ignore these bodily messages and act in spite of them.

[...] So you were both in the middle of a crisis. [...]

[...] You both took it for granted, however, that despite what it seemed Ruburt might have learned lately, negative beliefs were rising in rebellion, and forcing a crisis that you then had to meet.

[...] When you make an issue, however, you manufacture a crisis.

Now Joseph (pause), neither of you should overlook the fact that in one way or another, and regardless of the psychic development, such a crisis point (Jane’s symptoms) would have appeared in Ruburt’s life as a result of personal characteristics, present-life background, and past-life characteristics.

The crisis would have developed on the condition that Ruburt tried to use and develop his spontaneous and intuitive abilities on an adult basis. [...]

His abilities, to be used fully, would inevitably have led him to such a crisis point, or better to such a challenge. [...]

The crisis would have occurred according to the circumstances and a variety of probabilities, but many of these led in that direction, you see.

[...] They had decided to face any great crisis together in their own territory.

[...] The crisis brought many of their attitudes into critical awareness. [...]

The crisis would be over by five o’clock, even though the news media would not realize it. [...]

[...] Ruburt and Joseph discovered their own attitudes in a crisis situation, clearly delineating their psychic position. [...]

[...] But we do believe these excerpts from page 32 apply to Peggy and her place of employment, the local newspaper: “A crisis involving health. [...] He is connected with the crisis.”

(The crisis involving health concerns Peggy’s employer, the general manager of the paper, who was in the hospital with heart trouble for several days last week. [...] In addition, there was another crisis involving the general manager at the paper last week, and this material is also to be found on page 30. [...]

(The connection with the envelope object is that the object concerns an investigation of Seth’s data on page 32; this data involves Peggy’s involvement in a crisis at her place of employment. [...]

As far as my mention of May 23rd in connection with Miss Callahan, this was not a distortion; and the crisis, which was a psychio-physical crisis, came as I said that it would.

[...] The restlessness which was apparent in Miss Callahan’s behavior when Ruburt saw her, was but a small tangible evidence of the inner crisis. The crisis itself was a psychic one mainly, which will of course have physical consequences. [...]

[...] The crisis occurred at 2:30 that morning, when Miss Callahan awakened, momentarily completely naked of ego, face to face with the subconscious, and sensing the inner self within.

[...] To some extent you are using the energy crisis, each of you, to cut down on your extra-curricular activities—not to be good citizens, though that is in your minds, as much as the fact that the restriction on travel fits so in with your predispositions. [...]

[...] (Jane’s head drooped) His activities will cause a near-(underlined) crisis situation at the paper. He is squeezing the life from it symbolically and he senses the emotional (Jane’s voice sounded almost drugged here) crisis toward which he is propelled. [...]

[...] Approximately two months before the main crisis.

[...] 1. On March 9, 1964, Seth said that April 15 would be a day of crisis for Miss Callahan in the hospital. [...]

(On April 22, 1964, Seth stated that May 23rd would represent another and possibly the last crisis as far as Miss Callahan is concerned. [...]

Locally, there were some general beliefs held: The Elmira region was economically depressed and considered to be in a backwash area of the state of New York, yet the condition was not bad enough for crisis aid. [...]

Locally you had a depressed region not yet in the kind of crisis situation that would draw great federal funds, and highly unstable social and economic conditions coupled with a sense of hopelessness.

[...] The crisis united the people. [...]

[...] Such a crisis automatically forces each person to examine values, to make instant choices that will provide him with recognitions to which he had been blind earlier.

A crisis will come in three years and our young friend had better be willing to face it. [...] A severe crisis will develop by 1970, involving a woman with the initials A L, an extremely difficult situation,and one involving someone with the initials F W, having to do with a past association awakened.

[...] Ruburt’s classes will not suffer despite appearances (the energy crisis). [...]

Your decision not to go to Florida had little to do with the energy crisis. [...]

[...] You wanted to create a point of crisis, believing to some extent that this would help solve Ruburt’s difficulties. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s reaction to the books is partially responsible for the latest difficulties, but so is the creation of the crisis situation itself. [...]

The crisis situation led him to concentrate upon his difficulties, which aggravated his stress, of course. [...]

In a new crisis situation, in facing a present crisis squarely and dealing with it in adult terms, he may indeed free himself largely; for the present situation through association brings up highly charged emotional energies that have been stopped up and causing difficulty.

[...] On Ruburt’s part he is finding himself able to handle a parental situation with you, along with you, even though the crisis evokes long repressed, highly charged emotions from his own past.

[...] Often the existence of probabilities and their acceptance does provide a kind of exterior crisis situation that individually and en masse is a symbol of independence and inner crisis. The crisis is met in the exterior situation, and as the people deal with that situation they symbolically deal with their own inner crises. [...]

Now this crisis has a meaning and a purpose. It does you no good to avoid this crisis through drugs, through tranquilizers, or through material possessions, for you must face certain facts, and the facts are these. [...]

[...] When they look back on their childhood and realize that, in that time, there was great magic and great rejoicing and great freedom and they ask, “Where has it gone?” It is a crisis that comes to each soul born in flesh. [...]

[...] On that same day—day 367 of the hostage crisis—Iran demanded a quick reply from the United States to its latest set of conditions for the release of the 52 American hostages. [...] Evidently Iran wants to bring the hostage crisis to an end because of the economic boycott the Western world has imposed upon it, because in January it will have to deal with a new United States president, and because of the military pressure being exerted against it by Iraq. [...]

[...] So her beliefs put her in a state of crisis. Change them and no crisis exists. [...]

Looking back, it is obvious that I had unknowingly reached a crisis of development — a crisis that comes to each of us in our early adulthood. [...]

[...] Groups of people in various cycles of reincarnational activity have met crisis after crisis, have come to your point of physical development and either gone beyond it, or destroyed their particular civilization.
