“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When he worries about his book, this is simply a demonstration of the still-remaining lack of trust in the motion of his own psyche. The painting, however, and the poetry, sets him into motion, releasing the trust that will then flow into his other writing. He is being restructured physically.

He cannot fake it, so he improves in direct proportion to his growing trust of the inner self.

The period of recovery, as he has set it up, is also meant to impress upon him the fact that the kind of venture he embarked upon physically is not one to be thrown aside overnight. Each new improvement is a triumph of trust, and the reeducation is highly important, for he is constantly impressed with the fact that he will not go that way again.

The improvements, therefore, are lasting. He trusts them. An “instant” recovery would have been too easy, in that he might have reasoned in the future that such a course was after all safe: he could always snap out of it at any time.

[...] He is not concerned with his health because he takes it on trust unthinkingly, as he takes his life on trust.

You take your artistic ability on trust. [...] There are people highly gifted with artistic abilities, who have never trusted those abilities, did not consider them a part of themselves, and practically speaking have been unable to use them.

The life that you two personally have, has been brought about through trust and expectation. Your artistic endeavors are the result of trust and expectation. [...]

[...] There were two areas that he did not quite trust. [...] But the lack of trust is the important issue.

The ideas I have just given will help Ruburt build up self-trust, and in the main that is all that is holding him back right now. The body is responding, and his trust is growing, but it must be built up considerably.

[...] Many people do not trust themselves, of course. When you are building self-trust, and your body is in any way impaired, then you are learning to do something that you did not do when your body was operating beautifully.

(9:35.)1. Now: the main issue with Ruburt is the building up of self-trust. [...]

The acknowledgment of such impulses in the procedure just given will automatically help build Ruburt’s trust in himself, and it is a good idea for him to note such impulses, for later on certain occasions he will be able to see how such and such an impulse, followed on its own, led him to such and such a beneficial event—an event that at the time was completely invisible or unforeseen.

[...] He trusted most of my material, but he could not entirely trust me because I was part of the trip.

[...] When your enthusiasm grew, and your trust in his abilities, then he felt that to voice any fears at all in your eyes meant that he did not trust his abilities himself.

[...] He trusts me far more than he did. [...] Tell him that I can be trusted to monitor any and all of his experiences of a psychic nature. [...]

[...] He trusted you to set safe bounds on his spontaneity. [...]

[...] Your natural way of dealing with the world is also one of trust (to me), but you also feel that the world might betray such trust. True trust, however, is your greatest protection, and you cannot be betrayed, for you will not attract deceivers. It is far better to trust, for you open up Framework 2 so that benefits become available that might otherwise not be—and even if it seems that a trust is betrayed in an individual case, the overall picture will prove to be far different.

[...] His nature is open—basically trustful, and direct in its dealings with the world and others. He began to find, of course, that the world could react quite differently to openness and trust. [...]

[...] But Jane says she trusts him, and I’m willing to go along with her feelings on the matter.)

While trusting himself enough to use the abilities—and in a largely uncongenial social atmosphere—he still found it necessary to be highly critical, and not to rely upon the abilities too much, lest he was unknowingly as deluded as many people would certainly say he was. [...]

[...] She’s been rereading Seth’s material for her on Framework 2, the necessity for trust in herself, etc. Both of us have been making pronounced efforts—although that’s not the right word for it—to trust that our challenges will be taken care of in Framework 2. I think I’ve had some good success there.

[...] That is the source of your physical existence—the source of your impulses to begin with, and the more you learn to trust Framework 2 the easier it is for your natural selves to express themselves. It is the trust that makes all the difference. [...]

(And trusting her impulses, Jane slept for a couple of hours this afternoon—yet wasn’t happy with herself for doing so when she awoke. [...]

[...] I never want to overemphasize any of your attitudes, but Ruburt has become so used to not trusting the body that even such signs of healing can upset him.

People have been taught to trust X-rays for a picture of what is happening within their bodies, and cautioned not to trust their own feelings. [...]

[...] Unfortunately, large segments of the population feel uncomfortable with their bodies, and do not trust the body’s spontaneity, strength, or overall dependability. [...]

[...] Often people exercise over-zealously to punish their bodies, or to force the body to respond at its best, since they do not trust it to do otherwise.

[...] At the same time he did not realize how all-pervasive was the belief that the self could not be trusted. [...] The belief prevented him from following through, so that the symptoms became a symbol, in a way, because he still did not trust himself sufficiently. [...]

To one extent or another in your society you are taught not to trust yourself. [...]

[...] For some time he was simply between belief systems, discarding some entirely, accepting portions of others; but he was mainly a pioneer, and this while carrying largely unknowingly and invisibly the one basic belief of society that you cannot trust the self.

[...] Trust yourselves.

[...] If he really trusted it this evening, he would simply have had a change of plan, and held our session tomorrow. But then he worried that perhaps he might not get all of the material tomorrow, so it is a matter of learning to trust yourself (with some gentle humor). [...]

He has been doing exceedingly well, for him, in that regard, following impulses to houseclean and so forth—trusting the entire shape of his nature. [...] It is simply a matter of remembering the new framework of beliefs, and trusting that your impulses are leading in the proper direction. [...]

[...] The creative self is always creating, and it does its best when it is simply trusted. [...]

Ruburt is doing very well, removing the suggestions that have resulted in the symptoms, and finally beginning to trust the body, as the spring lamb trusted its body and its being. That trust is all that is required.

[...] That mental vitality led him to trust his body once again, and to act in direct contradiction to those previous beliefs of the doctors, family, friends, and society that had so bound him.

(10:02.) Your friend Bob McClure believes that the self cannot be trusted, these beliefs coming from his parents’ interpretation of Christianity. [...]

(To me:) When you consider your creative pursuits, trust the body of your creativity, and stop making judgments like this or that will probably never be done, or finished, and therefore limiting your probabilities. [...]

You may not consider trust an attribute connected with reasoning, but it is indeed, for it represents the creature’s innate understanding of the support with which it has been gifted. The natural person still feels that trust. [...]

[...]

Each creature is born trusting [...]

[...] It is not nearly as easy to see that the same applies to man and his mental and physical environment, his town or country or culture, but the infant trusts from the very first moment.

[...] He trusts our work far more than he did, and this is to our advantage. He is also beginning to trust himself, as a person. [...]

[...] He could go ahead but he must go slowly, with caution and safeguards to make sure the abilities were (underlined) fulfilled, not misused, because he did not trust himself.

[...] The belief that the self must be kept in reins—a trust in the spontaneous self directed toward work, but a distrust of the spontaneous self when it is not so directed.

[...] If he had not trusted his abilities so much in his particular way, he could not have felt the other freely-spontaneous portions so threatening. [...]

(Pause at 11:00.) Trust no person who tells you that you are evil or guilty by reason of your nature or your physical existence, or any such dogma. Trust no one who leads you away from the reality of yourself. [...] Trust instead the spontaneity of your own being and the life that is your own. [...]

(10:01.) You must begin to trust yourself sometime. [...]

[...] Trust the miracle of your own being. [...]

Ruburt and Joseph have both worked with the nature of creativity, and from an early age each of them sought for answers — but most of all they trusted the destiny and grace of their beings.

The trust is accepted, however, because he is finally ready to work through the issues. [...] He is challenging, finally, the old beliefs that say that the self’s spontaneity is not to be trusted. [...]

[...] On one level the Psycho-Cybernetics is important also, for it reminds him on the simplest of terms that he can perform better, and reinforces a trust in himself.

[...] I am still in the process of trying to teach you both that trust is also a spiritual and physical imperative. [...] That kind of trust is behind all of man’s curiosity, for without a trust in the world he would never have the courage to explore it. [...]

[...] That is, you can behave to some extent at such times with a creature-like sense of trust and spontaneity, and of loving openness of a kind that animals at their best often display. [...] They generate trust. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Then you lack trust in yourselves because you try to live up to images that are not connected with your backgrounds, and often ignore them. [...]

(To Derek.) You will find your own ways, but trust your own inner voice. If you do not trust what Ruburt would call the establishment, then trust the inner voice that is yourself and follow it. You do not need trust me, but you must, indeed, trust yourself. I have always trusted myself so I do not see why you would not trust me. [...]

[...] You can trust yourself to go forward actively. [...]

[...] Trust it and follow it. [...]

He believed in the specific nature of the creative self, so that it could only be trusted in certain areas. [...] They can and must be trusted. [...]

Now: When Ruburt begins to trust himself, as he has, the physical (arthritic) armor loosens. [...]

[...] You do not have to fight to trust the thrust of your own life. [...]

When you trust the thrust of your own life, you are always supported. [...]

[...] You trust the creative process in art. [...] It seems you cannot trust the creative abilities’ biological translations—but the body is certainly as creative as the mind, in those terms. [...]

(Through the day Jane herself received periodic insights from Seth about the condition, mostly having to do with her fears that she wasn’t walking enough, and not trusting the body to do its own thing in the recovery process. [...]

[...] Do I trust the world or inspiration or whatever?—but your questions themselves are now loaded with built-in negative suggestions. [...]

[...] I realize now that I simply cannot expect either of you at this point to trust Ruburt’s body to know what it is doing. [...]

[...] You simply know the interest will come—because you trust the banking establishment and the country’s intrinsic worth, so you need not wonder or worry about what artistic or editorial or legal or economic facts might be involved to bring about the higher interest that you want from Prentice, because you trust the higher establishment of Framework 2—which holds all accounts. [...]

[...] To some extent that money came because you trusted that it would. [...]

[...] He will trust the account. [...]

[...] You should still help him to trust relaxation, but I want both of you to take this session to heart, so that it can help you accelerate your growing understanding, and bring you more beneficial practical results. [...]
