[...] You should try to help him in this game—understanding how it works. [...]

The creative block in the writing has been worked out. [...]

Now there are relationships still to be worked out among you, and I will point them out. [...] They may appear to you, or they may affect some of you to varying degrees, but, in any case, you must work them out. [...]

[...] They were diverse but in both, in the main, you would have been working toward the same objectives. [...]

[...] I may have worked well or poorly at my own writing. [...]

When Seth began this manuscript, I was personally working with the idea of “heroic impulses” (those separate from our usual ones) that would operate as inner impetuses toward constructive action. [...]

I’ve had my own hassles with impulses, following only those I thought would lead me where I wanted to go, and drastically cutting down those I feared might distract me from my work. [...]

[...] What you call negative suggestions are often judgments of the ego, for suggestion works from the ego to the subconscious, as well as it works the other way around. [...]

Later he made a very good point: “If desire for health leads instead to an emphasis upon symptoms to be overcome, you would be better off to avoid all thoughts of health or illness and concentrate in other directions, such as work. [...]

[...] I am working from the other end, you see.

[...] The problems have already been worked out on a mental or psychic level, but not yet physically materialized.

[...] He used the same process, only for a more beneficial picture, and the process works. [...]

[...] Seth referred to the painting I’m working on of my dream of last August 16, — [...]

[...] These are not authority figures putting Ruburt down, or our work. [...]

This affair can help you both understand the way negative projections work, so that you can be on guard against them in any area. [...]
