“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Again: a change of schedules and habits. It is good that you are making these changes. If some were not made, they would be demanded by other portions of the self. They are breakthroughs, and therapeutic. The ego is working with you now, for it grew frightened and is taking steps to change.

A variety of small, perhaps, but frequent alterations of schedule or habit are very helpful. More extensive changes, a change in working hours, for example, might frighten the ego and should be avoided.

You have been doing well with the pendulum, and the exercise has successively opened up communication with deeper layers of the self. An hypnotic session would be helpful, but only when you feel confident. A point here involving Ruburt’s hands and his mother’s sweaters: he knew that knitting was a therapeutic measure suggested in the past to exercise his mother’s hands. When he became sensitized to the sweaters, then he had difficulty with his own hands, you see.

It is. Without the trance however you will not reach buried past-life data.

(“We can use some more past-life data on this problem. How about Boston?”)

In this particular instance there is no overriding past-life data that is important in context with Ruburt’s condition, except the overall personality patterns that existed.

Indeed. I will have something to say shortly, incidentally, concerning the ways in which you may change the past in the present, for this will be useful. First we must relieve the sensitivities and we are, and then we shall work toward the construction of a more favorable past, you see. You may take a break and we shall continue.

We will shortly end this session. I intend to go into past-life experiences rather extensively, but in another context. The main problems with Ruburt exist as given, and when these are cleared then we will have clear access to our other material, that is, the past-life data.

Water has healing qualities, and walks by the river when practical, will be of benefit. Therapeutic dreams should be requested each night for now, as standard practice. A small note, not necessarily a recommendation here: a change of hair color would minimize any lingering mother identification.
