“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I get not your kind of storms. (Jane dictates:) But I’m not going into so-called weather on my plane tonight. I came halfway in on an interesting little experiment that Ruburt tried on his own, and you can thank me that he came out of it so well. Really, Ruburt, I’m surprised at you. In your past life you would have known much better.

I should clarify this perhaps by saying that the split was a split of the entire subconscious. In Ruburt’s case last January 10th the split was of the conscious level. Since Ruburt was unaware of causing the dissociation to begin with, he was unable to find his blundering way out.

Incidentally, so-called schizophrenia follows in many cases along these lines. As for the writing, it was by an (pause) unorganized, unformed, possible personality of Ruburt’s that merely took this opportunity to show itself and supersede a strong hand which has always dominated it.

Ruburt, you will cease smoking within two weeks. For one thing it is harmful, and believe me I will go into the reasons at a later date. They are so little understood. For another, I refuse to sound like a hoarse horse. It is not good for my morale. Your voice is too sensitive and rough this evening for me to attempt any transformation of it into the more melodious accents of my own.

Many people are unable to endow fragments with such physical reality, and thus shove them more or less harmlessly away at arm’s length. It is as if in Ruburt’s great experience the other night that the dissociated part of the personality donned another identity and battled with Ruburt’s own for dominance.

In dreaming, such a dissociated state as Ruburt reached is of course the rule, only here the ability is used to form the dream images. But these dream images work for the entity as a whole and serve as a means for the various personalities to communicate. That is, in many cases for the previous incarnated personalities to correspond with the present personality. It is a means of acquainting the present personality with its past and also of reminding it of its goals, without disturbing that blatant awake ego.

And please do not think of yourself as some sort of male stenographer. Through means I cannot explain at this date I could not speak through Ruburt without you, and a kink in your own present personality would quite prevent me from communicating with you alone, if indeed Ruburt would allow it. And if you are not good I will have another cozy little chat that lasts until three o’clock in the morning.

Your vision experience is coming along well, Joseph. You can expect it to enlarge, grow and mature, as Ruburt’s ability has already shown astounding progress. I hesitate to go into Jane’s Walter Zeh experience at this time. Her conscious ego sets up barriers, and in all cases she must willingly permit material to come through. Suffice it to say that she got rid of some previous responsibilities and paid off an old debt.
