“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He had a tendency by the end of the week, during prayer period, to become overanxious looking for signs, and found himself concentrating upon the symptoms that still remained. He has conquered this however, and also varied his prayer technique to advantage.

A few days earlier, knowing he had progressed, he ceased doing the psycho-cybernetics exercises however, and these are an excellent and enjoyable way of focusing conscious energy in constructive directions. This is active prayer, with him, and a definite training device. Since little time is involved, twenty minutes, this should be continued.

There would have been all kinds of complications as a result of the Friday episode had it not been for your combined prayer activities and new understanding. He made some errors. These were so small in proportion to his success that he should forget them. And he did very well, tell him, in his encounter with Mr. Fisher, and with your mother’s friends in the hospital room.

Work on the book will now proceed. Last week’s poetry served to refresh his creative energies, and in commitment to the book and to our work, and with your prayer activities. You will indeed find success in the health endeavors. Energy given in commitment will rob the symptoms. There’ will be no room for them.

Several times when saying the prayer today, he recognized that sense of freedom and release that is so vital. [...]

[...] Jane hadn’t mentioned her imagery involving the bridge, or her feelings during the prayer. [...]

(4:22 P.M. Jane said she’d felt that surge of freedom twice while doing the prayer this morning. [...]

I suggest however that you continue your own prayer periods, as you have been doing them. [...]

In his prayer periods emphasize that his full attention can go into his work and creative endeavors. [...]

(“Have the prayer sessions been doing any good?”)

The focus again now therefore, in his prayers, should be on feelings of peace, tranquility, safety and joy in creativity. [...]

[...] Intensive concentration along these lines should be followed by several days when you simply do your prayer experiments and then let the whole thing drop from your mind, and give the creative inner self an opportunity to work for you. [...]

[...] Before the session I had asked that Seth give Jane a prayer that she could use for herself; I would say from the above that he responded in excellent fashion, as usual.

[...] (Pause.) In your prayer episodes deal with Ruburt’s health, and do not divide your efforts. [...]

[...] When you feel you are ready, then the two daily prayer periods should be retained with a change of focus, that will take care of other issues. [...]

Now there have been some definite accomplishments since your prayer period, and if you had the proper attitude of expectancy in the beginning, both of you, you would have added gratitude in your prayers for what has been received. [...]

A few fond prayers, such as you have been doing, are fine. [...]

[...] A feeling of expectancy on both of your parts will be of great benefit, and must in fact be a part of your prayer activities.

[...] I left at 7:05 after going through the prayer but once with her. Lorrie and Cathy came in to do her dressings, cutting the prayer short. [...]

Prayer has been extremely successful in enabling individuals to manipulate matter through use of their psychic abilities.

[...] Prayer once enabled the intelligent man to focus his psychic abilities, because the hard fact, taken for granted by all in Western civilization, was the belief in such a God. [...]

[...] I am, however, trying to tell you the truth, and this material is perhaps the most important of any so far, in that comprehension of it will allow the intelligent man to avail himself of energies and abilities once utilized in prayer.

Prayer is now shunned. [...]

(I massaged Jane with Oil of Olay after I turned her, took my nap, checked the TV programs for the evening, said the prayer with her, and left at about 7:05. [...]

[...] I read the prayer to her, then left at 7:05. [...]

(7:00 — Prayer.

[...] The prayer at this stage is beneficial, and so does Edwards help. [...]

The unconscious is understood to be a garbage heap of undesirable impulses, long ago discarded by civilization, while again much religious theory projects the image of the hidden self that must be kept in bounds by good work, prayer, and penance.

[...] Peggy Gallagher visited at about 6:40, so I got ready and left for the evening without Jane and I reading the prayer.)

(7:13 — Prayer.

This incidentally is the same as effective prayer. [...]

Continue your combined prayer periods. [...]

[...] First of all, the “prayer” in quotes that I gave for Ruburt is tailored to his own needs, and will therefore be quite effective. I suggest that he use this during your prayer periods. [...]

[...] As I was getting ready to leave after reading her the prayer at 7:00 PM, Jane said she could feel that she could “take off” with more motions right then. [...]

(I should note that when I say “I read her the prayer,” what I actually mean is that we read it aloud together—and have been doing so for some little time now. [...]

The prayer can be of great help, because it is religiously couched, and yet carries a new, not old, message of beliefs.

[...] “believe in God?” I considered prayer embarrassing, demeaning... [...]

[...] She ate well after I’d had a nap, as usual, and read the prayer with me at 7:05. [...]

(This prayer is for my wife, Jane. [...]

[...] She said that she had asked in a prayer for proof of God’s existence. [...] She was convinced that God had answered her prayer thusly.
