“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

True questioning and true use of the critical faculties will always lead Ruburt, to intuitional truths, so there is no reason to fear them. Those who do not understand their abilities intellectually must one day be led to question them. The intuitions and the intellect are meant to challenge and develop each other, and intuitional knowledge and intellectual knowledge will ultimately lead to the same answers.

Before, he used his intuitional abilities but always intellectually mistrusted them to some degree. Now he will trust them consciously and intellectually, and this development had to occur for his fulfillment now. It was a prerequisite for other developments and work that will come.

You must know enough to speak nearly as an equal with your inner self in order to do this. The process had finally to become conscious in your terms, with the ego highly involved. The intuitive portions of the personality had to have the full cooperation of the intellectual and conscious self at this point in your development and I am speaking of you both here.

Ruburt’s recovery will be the symbol of a far greater recovery and of inner development that will never fail him. He must now push himself to physical activity, into vigorous action, and in doing so he is expressing the inner decision that he will no longer tamper with intuitional spontaneity. He has learned what happens when he does, and he has unlearned the false and distorted lesson that was put upon him in his early years.

The natural development of your abilities in other words already exists. You must merely be ready, intuitively alive, prepared and assured, and these developments will appear to you. [...]

There were also some hints in it that you will use subconsciously, and from which new developments will grow. [...] In your sleep you will correlate recent developments so that better use will be made of them. [...] We more than made up for missed sessions by the recent developments. [...]

[...] In your present framework however you seem to be waiting for the developments to occur.

[...] In not developing your abilities to the point where you can tune in on these paintings, that belong to your whole self, you impede your progress, and to that extent deny portions of creativity.

[...] Parallel developments in religion and government always echo the state of consciousness and its purposes. “Pagan” practices, giving far more leeway to sexual identification and expression, continued well into the 16th century, and the so-called occult underground heretical teachings tried to encourage the development of personal intuition.

In certain circles now it is fashionable to deny the intellectual capacities in favor of feeling, sentiment, or intuitive actions. [...] Instead, of course, intellectual and intuitive behavior should be beautifully blended. [...]

[...] Again, the male who was intuitive or artistically gifted in certain ways often therefore considered himself homosexual, whether or not he was, because his emotional and mental characteristics seem to fit the female rather than the male sex.

[...] Because the intellect and the emotions were considered so separately, however, attempts to express intuitive abilities often resulted in, and often do result in, “unreasonable” behavior.

Because they were formed at a time before the intellectual and intuitive abilities developed, and were not a problem until the intellectual and intuitive abilities seemed to come upon a system of thought that was in opposition to the underlying emotional beliefs. [...]

(“How come these early emotional ideas haven’t been influenced, at least somewhat modified by all the intuitive and intellectual activity, and new ideas, that have developed and taken place in the last few years?”)

Some of my material is difficult to accept intuitively and intellectually at one time. You may intuitively grasp a point and intellectually not understand it, or the other way around. But Ruburt insists that he intellectually and intuitively understand each point, and agree with it, or it puts him in the position of publicizing ideas when he is not a hundred percent certain of their validity, and he considers this to some degree dishonest. [...]

[...] In the past any intuitive thoughts he felt but could not prove were put into his fiction. [...]

You can, in other words, intuitively progress within an hour a year’s work, if you allow it. [...] I am saying be cautious, for while certain periods of time seem necessary within your system for the development of your work, that the ideas of limited time on a daily or weekly basis can slow down the intuitional qualities of your work and growth.

[...] The last on time is connected, incidentally, with what we have been speaking of, for it can lead to an insistence upon outer realities, and result in a lack of inner intuitional development, which alone is the fountainhead of true art.

[...] If some of it seems disconnected it is simply because I want to outline the main areas to be developed. [...] He knew intuitively that he was a psychic. [...]

You deal then with a single-line type of within-physical-time development, and tend to ignore the value fulfillment kind of development which is entirely independent of a time structure. [...]

Now, I have been, in many ways, a sly and cunning teacher, for the material is given in such a way that as you read it and use your intellect and intuitions to understand it, you automatically develop both your intuitions and your intellect and expand the nature of your own consciousness, though part of the training of consciousness itself is in the body of the material as it exists. To the extent that you extend yourselves, your abilities will automatically be developed, as you read and study the material. [...] Some of it is simple but they are quite necessary to those at a certain level of development. [...]

[...] You must use your intellect and your intuitions and read some passages four times. [...]

[...] Now, you also often develop abilities in the dreaming and sleep state and perform work and creative activities of which you are not aware. [...]

[...] Ruburt can use it to insure his intuitional psychic and spiritual development.

He has indeed learned, the hard way, lessons that he had to learn if he were to further develop. [...]

He developed this objective manner originally years ago because he feared he could not control his own spontaneity. [...]

[...] Ruburt will be more his natural and uninhibited intuitional self now. [...]

The personality for best purposes would have to be a woman, for the intuitive nature is more easily developed. [...]

[...] On the positive side this leads into new frontiers, and it expands and develops his abilities. It is a basis for his ethical and intuitive achievements. [...]

[...] It chooses the best method it can to aid in overall development.

[...] To get out of the maze automatically means that he has developed the abilities necessary. [...]

[...] The personality has been used to depending upon inner intuitions, and knew it had further abilities to develop now. But there was a laxness within, and a lack of inner concentration that in this life hampered earlier development.

With a few years’ further development, and if developments continue smoothly in your own personality, you could also do well as a particular kind of agent, dealing with writers of psychic phenomena, because of your understanding of the subject, and because of the larger knowledge of the business publishing field that you would have by that time.

A relationship in this life can continue to develop along those terms, with some degree of success, but the issue is open. [...] If the relationship is not carried through, then with the probabilities as I see them now, another strong one will develop close to the end of three years from now, involving a woman with whom you will get along very well, although she was merely a third grand-nephew in the past.

In two other lives there was instead the development of inner abilities to the exclusion of others, a closing down of the windows and a barring of the doors, and he would not look out and no one dared look in. [...]

[...] Realized yesterday also, going over old notes, that my original ‘cosmic consciousness’ (borrowed phrases again) experience was with The Physical Universe as Idea Construction which turned into and developed into the sessions and Seth Material; the natural, intuitive, and logical development; which to a large extent I relegated to the background and sometimes even distrusted. [...]

[...] Subjectively I feel this was as significant a development—almost—as the original Seth session. [...]

The man represents, now, an example of a personality highly endowed with intuition, and inner senses that are highly developed. [...]

We are not attempting to enlighten the intuitions at the expense of the intellect. We are attempting to work in such a manner that added knowledge from the intuitional inner self is also made known to the intellect.

We are attempting in these sessions to develop both of your abilities in many areas, while we still maintain a most necessary balance of development so that one part of you does not get top-heavy, and topple over. [...]

The woman involved could gain immeasurably through the development of her own abilities. [...] At the same time the difficulty experienced by her ego cries out for the sort of fulfillment that could be achieved through the development of these abilities.

(To Tom:) Now you must stretch your intellect as well as your intuitions. [...] They have grown with the impetus of intuitional development. [...]

[...] Within your own material you will find reasons if you look hard enough for them, intuitive reasons for some (underlined) information that would seem highly distorted or influenced by the subconscious. [...]

([Tom:] “Other questions might take the format of what opportunities might arise in business; the Bega development; etc...”

You can be too conservative, not following up sufficiently your intuitive understanding of the business. [...]

He is also intuitively sure that without the stimulus you will never develop your abilities fully. [...]

[...] Intuitively he has always believed that you should leave Artistic. He was somewhat frightened over the circumstances some years ago, when you had no money behind you, but even then intuitively he felt you should do so.

[...] At my instigation he began the classes, which led him, though slowly, into other areas of financial development.

As a woman he appreciated your concern for security, and part of him was frightened to think of your giving up the income then, but the greater intuitive part felt that you should do so. [...]

One intuitional discovery will open into two others. Dissatisfaction, creative dissatisfaction, triggers in you new intuitive developments, and this one will be fairly important. [...]

The good news however, has been hinted at but not yet completely developed. [...]

[...] He was quite correct, for those impulses arise from the larger self’s immersion in Framework 2, and those impulses led Ruburt to his intuitive inspirations, experiences of psychic events, and to the books. When he becomes overly concerned about writing as work, or with psychic development as something he should do, then he tangles those impulses, and becomes worried that he will not be suitably inspired again.

[...] The psychic experiences, intuitional developments, and dream activity—these refresh him and lead precisely to the kind of inspiration he wants. [...]

Now: Ruburt himself hit upon the “heroic impulses”—and what he meant was this: that ideally speaking the individual’s impulses were inner directional signals that, followed, would automatically lead to the greatest fulfillment and development.

[...] The acceptance, the intuitional developments, will always appear initially in the poetry. [...]

[...] It has caused him to hold back from fully developing his abilities; not only his psychic abilities. It has caused him to hold back in the development of his full writing talents, for these specialized creative abilities, the writing techniques, will come into their own now that the personality is more fully behind our work.

[...] His performance, Joseph, was extremely heartening, since he trusted his own intuitions this time; that he did not pound his head against the wall, as in the past. [...]

The intellect has learned from the intuitive portions of the self. [...]

[...] The child carries with him [or her] the impetus and supporting energy provided him at birth from Framework 2, and he knows intuitively that desires conducive to his development “happen” easier than those that are not. His natural impulses naturally lead him toward the development of his body and mind, and he is aware of a cushioning effect and support as he acts in accordance with those inner impulses. [...] When he gets sick he intuitively knows the reason why, and he knows quite well that he brought about the illness.

(To me:) There are several intuitive developments regarding your work that are already in the making, and will bring you great pleasure and a sense of accomplishment. [...]

Ruburt’s condition will improve because of other developments, success in his work and other areas that will automatically bring about a concentration away from symptoms. [...]

[...] Also to him a note: even his adolescent, seemingly-undisciplined times were disciplined, giving notice of continuing ego strength, balanced and sometimes over-balanced by intuitional development, in that he never ceased writing from the day that he began.

This would imply that despite the development of the inhabitants their world would end at a particular point, and this is not the case. [...]

I would have thought that any advice to Ruburt would have involved suggestions curtailing his robust and ever curious intuitional abilities, but he is holding them down with too heavy a hand. [...]

His own writing underwent its own kinds of transformation, however, and indeed it began those translations years ago, even before the sessions, so that for example even the science fiction could no longer contain or camouflage the larger intuitive framework that he was developing. [...]

Each personality is in a state of his own growth and development, and you cannot impose any standard demands upon such a process, however tempting it is to do so. [...]
