Ruburt will make it home alive, in a much better physical situation.

[...] There were endlessly complicated, multitudinous religious and cultural justifications for such a situation, so that the entire affair seemed, often, even to the most intelligent of men, self-evident. [...]

[...] All of this applied to your family situations. [...]

[...] They dream individually and collectively of changing the situation. [...] The very energy and direction you see of the dreams themselves will help change the situation.

I said once that when an alcoholic tries to stop drinking there can be repercussions from beloved ones, who are conditioned to the old situation. [...]

You stop, each of you, and think “Actually, how safe is this universe in which we dwell?” The money, or the need of it, in your particular situation, becomes merely a symbol for an inner sense that the universe is not safe, and so money becomes a needed security. [...]

[...] All of these exercises should be followed by a return to the present: You focus your attention outward in the present moment as clearly as possible, letting the sounds and sights of the physical situation come into your attention.

The other exercises, in fact, will result in a clearer picture of the world, for they will facilitate the very motion of your perceptions, allowing you to perceive nuances in the physical situation that before would have escaped your notice. [...]

[...] In fact, I sometimes amuse myself by imagining a situation in which Seth wonders if Jane is a secondary personality with an obsessive belief in some improbable physical reality. [...]

[...] But pretend for a moment that you are looking at this situation from the other side. [...]

If you have little memory of your dream locations when you are awake, then remember that you have little memory of your waking locations when you are in the dream situation. [...]

[...] You are both handling the situation well, then.

(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. [...]

[...] You were also out-of-body, but do not recall the situation.

—your situation is indeed changing for the better. [...]

[...] That potential needs infinite opportunity; the true self’s reality needs an ever-new, changing situation, for each experience enriches it and, therefore, enhances its own possibilities. [...]

[...] It is not just that thoughts influence the body, as of course they do; but each one of them represents a triggering stimulus, bringing about hormonal changes and altering the entire physical situation at any given time.

There is much that the personality can do to help his own situation, as indeed we shall see; we also find an involvement here between both families of the man and the woman in past existences, and for this reason a very close psychic framework has been built up here.

[...] For indeed, as it was possible for Ruburt to some slight degree to allow her friend to speak, nevertheless the action involved in the whole situation nevertheless changed not only Ruburt, but also necessarily changed her Father Trainor, in that any action of its own nature can never remain the same.

[...] He said he felt fine, and that it was a most welcome situation. [...]

[...] It was one of those situations in which it was easier to keep going, however, than to stop and then start again. [...]

I will return to the consideration of expectation and physical health, as from Ruburt’s specific situation there is much general knowledge to be gained.

I will also go into these matters more thoroughly, but Ruburt’s situation gave us an excellent occasion. [...]

[...] Adding to the humor of the situation is the fact that we’ve had people write or say the same thing about the Seth material. [...]

[...] If true, this proposition means that for all of that time, all of those people lived pretty useless lives as far as having any real understanding of their universe goes—hardly a natural situation, I told Jane. [...]

First of all, because you are the eldest, and because of your father’s position, because you were making good money as a young man, Loren braced himself against your situation at that time. [...]

[...] Jane described how she had become very frightened in Florida over the job situation, and that I had been forced to get a job anyhow even though I had told her most emphatically that I didn’t intend to do this. [...]

(Two additional points now recalled: When she began talking about Florida, Jane told me “I got scared in Florida”; she was also sure I would leave her when the job situation got so bad and things didn’t work out as we’d hoped they would. [...]

[...] Had he begun the work of actualizing his ideals through his own private life, he would not be in such a situation. [...]

[...] The reactor hasn’t reached an ideal “cold shutdown,” however, when it will be on a natural circulation of water at atmospheric pressure; that situation will come about when an independent backup cooling system is completed several weeks from now.

[...] The situation also allows him to use his creative abilities in terms of fantasy and imagination. [...]

[...] You are presented with bigger-than-life situations, provided with raw material from life, given exaggerated versions so that from them you can draw the knowledge to help you answer your own questions, and the knowledge to help others whose plights may be less colorful but equally vital.

The fact that you have been of such help shows how much you have learned, for in the past you did sometimes sabotage his efforts—not at all lately —because of your own distrust of impulses, and because the situation to some extent served you also. [...]
