“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A word about what Ruburt calls his “helper.” In the past he drained his reserves. Now they are building up in all areas. There are excess energies now that act as magnets, drawing other positive energy to him in such proportion that the entire gestalt becomes in effect a psychic helper.

This helper now automatically helps heal Ruburt. Ruburt’s emotional energy is very strong, as you know. Thoughts and feelings of dejection were too faithfully materialized. Now the change shows in an acceleration also, in attraction toward the creative and positive which very quickly generated the birth of the helper.

(Since August, when this session was held, it seems that little if anything has developed re Jane’s helper. The ideas seem to be very good ones, and I remember that when the session was held we had high hopes. For one reason or another—or several—they have been set aside; finishing Seth’s book contributed of course. It’s educational to type up this material after such a long interval—but also somewhat discouraging, I’m afraid. I do not hear Jane mention the concept of the helper very often. The term will crop up when she has some kind of related psychic experience occasionally, but that seems to be all. Resume at 9:50)

Now. You are on the threshold of forming your own helper. You helped Ruburt in both of his creations. (Leaning forward intently:) These helpers are simply possessed of a different kind of consciousness than your own. In one way they are formed from you, but considerable work of one kind or another is done often before they are released, and set free to work within these other realms for you.

Jane: Okay, you can call  it the dark side of the personality and you can compare, if you just look at it that way, the helper with the bright side of the personality if you want. [...] And I found out on building up this helper, you’re all building up also your own helpers in those terms, that you can use. [...]

[...] Well, helper is the opposite, sort of. According to what we got last night and this is just a preliminary, the helper is sort of made up of a surplus of positive energy, the desire to help people and so forth; but the best, plus, parts of your personality. [...]

According to what we got, both the Black Thing and the helper only exist when you have the kind of personality or the kind of abilities or something that draw a lot of energy where you got it to use. [...] That the helper is consciousness, that is it does have a consciousness that I have released. [...]

1. See Chapter 6 of Adventures in Consciousness for Jane’s description of how she became aware of “Helper” early in November 1971—a little over nine years ago. She’s sent Helper on journeys to many who have requested aid of various kinds. [...] We’ve often speculated that just knowing Jane cared enough to send out an emissary like Helper was (and is) of psychological benefit to at least some of those in need, helping them generate positive actions on their own.

[...] He called this “Helper,”¹ and he never saw the form clearly again. [...]

Ruburt knew that Helper could be sent out to others, to their advantage, and in that regard the form stood for the great power of natural, positive desire and thought patterns. [...]

(9:30.) Helper represents the part that possesses such knowledge. [...]

[...] Therefore you took on a helper, who played for you while you sang.

This helper is known to you in this present existence, but is not our friend here. [...]

The helper now is a woman. [...]

The comical series of events involving Floyd, one of his sons, and another helper had started this noon: “Hell, Rob, it’s a coon!” a surprised Floyd called down to me from the roof of the house, after the beam from his flashlight had illuminated the black mask across the animal’s face and made its eyes shine as it crouched at the base of the fireplace chimney. [...] Then while his two helpers stood guard to keep the raccoon in the tree, Floyd lugged a very heavy flat stone up the ladder and planted it across the chimney; he’s going to cement a wire mesh in place as a permanent seal against animals and birds.

[...] You can all have your helpers. [...]

[...] You can refer to these portions of the self altogether as the helper, the teacher, or whatever title suits you best.

[...] First we received several pages about a very interesting development in Jane’s psychic faculties: her growing ability to perceive a beneficial “helper,” as she has taken to calling it…. [...]

[...] I will have remarks on helper, and other related material, at our next session.

[...] However on Saturday, May 3, 1969, the landlord and a helper tore down three-quarters of the terrace extending outside our living room windows. [...]

He will make an artist’s helper out of me yet. [...]

[...] Possibly the above data refers to Marjorie as proprietor of The Art Shop, and her two helpers, my first cousin Ruth Gridley, and the framemaker Roy Fox. [...]
