(9:59.) Do not forget the resolutions, either of you, and for Ruburt the point of power. Trust in the body, for it is improving, and the feelings in the legs are caused by greater activity and circulation.

I gave you some New Year’s resolutions last year, and it seems to me (with some irony) that they could be resurrected.

[...] Actually, he gave us his resolutions this year—on January 1.¹)

1. I referred to Seth’s resolutions at the end of the 889th session. [...]

[...] You can help most by reminding him of our resolutions when, say, he feels blue—for when he remembers them he does not need the reminder (with amusement)—and simply by reassuring him of his body’s good intent, and in its ability to follow through.

[...] This was made possible through changes in beliefs—the resolutions (given by Seth on January 1, 1979), and his own intent.

[...] Again, the New Year resolutions, really understood, can help you, for they will dissolve such thoughts.

[...] We read the resolutions over several times a day.)

(It’s my hunch that Seth’s New Year’s resolutions are perhaps the most potent material we could get, provided we keep them in mind as time passes. [...]

A NEW BEGINNING.
INSTRUCTIONS, SUGGESTIONS,
AND RESOLUTIONS — AND WHEN TO IGNORE THESE

[...] Instructions, Suggestions, and Resolutions — and When to Ignore These.”

Now if I were you two, making a list of resolutions, my list would include feelings and attitudes. [...] I would not presume to make a list of resolutions for you, but in an imaginative endeavor this is what I pretend I would list if I were you—meaning you both. [...]

[...] It is basically a resolute characteristic with great potential for balance, a characteristic that can keep him headed, despite any disappointments in the proper directions. When the ego controls this resoluteness however, it turns into stubbornness, and works against the personality. [...]

The resoluteness can now be used in a different manner. [...]

[...] The resolutions (given in the deleted session for January 1, 1979) have helped. [...]

(Long pause at 9:22.) Now nothing is all that simple, so there would be changes in his attitudes: He would tell himself, for example, that television or whatever would fritter away his time, or at other occasions other fears would rise so that the Sinful Self would think “Suppose such activity succeeded only too well, leading whole groups of people away from established systems of belief?” (Long pause.) There seemed to be little resolution. The only resolution of course is the realization that no such responsibilities actually exist. [...]

The tabloid turns into a parade float, the contrast showing that the resolution can end in a parade, with rejoicing. [...]

(Both of us have been rereading Seth’s own resolutions for the New Year frequently, as given on January 1, 1979. [...]

[...] The ideas I have tried to give you—outlined, say, in the New Year resolutions—have not yet gotten through to you.

(“Have you got anything to say for the beginning of the year, like you did with your resolutions for the start of last year?”

Continue with the resolutions. [...]

[...] Yet a refusal to worry as such will often show remarkable results by freeing the creative mechanisms, relaxing the body, and therefore allowing solutions and resolutions to occur naturally. [...]

[...] This allows the emotions some clear resolution. [...]

Fear, faced and felt with its bodily sensations and the thoughts that go along with it, will automatically bring about its own state of resolution. [...]

[...] Each symptom, mental or physical, is a clue to the resolution of the conflict behind it, and contains within it the seeds of its own healing.

[...] Resolutely I replaced the issue in my mind by trying to compose a limerick.... [...]

[...] Ruburt must find the game fun, not resolutely pursue it. [...]

Again, here particularly the game should not be carried out resolutely but with an idea of imaginative fun. [...]
