“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Had you been more helpful in the circumstances of last evening, you would not have had to turn your emotions inward in a self-destructive manner. I am so fond of you, my pigheaded Joseph, that it pains me severely to see you so misuse yourself. And as for towering-strength Ruburt, don’t depend upon this too far, for a weaker tower of strength I have never seen.

My dear Joseph, one word only: I would not leave you with the impression that I am truly displeased, or that I judge you unjustly. I do not want to hurt Ruburt’s feelings, and I have avoided making this statement thus far; however, for purely personal reasons I have been emotionally more involved with you in past instances. And I know your capabilities so well that when I seem severe it is only because I wish so for your happiness and success.

(Jane said then she had felt for some time that Seth was more emotionally involved with me than with her. However, she had never mentioned this, to the best of my knowledge.
