“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You know that I have no objections to your friend’s presence, since I stated this earlier. For that matter I welcome a witness, and it is time that you had one—for your own edification, not mine, and it should do my nervous pigeon Ruburt some good.

I would now suggest a brief break, and do not again crack up into many pieces. I give you this very slight evidence of my humor merely to show that I am not after all one to carry grudges.

Indeed like you, my dear Joseph. In your case, Joseph, and I have said this many times, you overcompensate now for past, shall I say fleshiness, by a most unnecessary esthetic and self-punishing attitude. Philip on the other hand is performing no such compensations, except for the one instance of choosing a good-looking wife and therefore permitting himself to treat her kindly.

He was in a different position when he was a woman, and if I may give away secrets, he was beaten by one pigheaded husband who had a snout to match.

I wanted to make one point, but first, there is nothing like a witness to convince my darling nervous Ruburt that I am I, and not her, meaning Jane; like a good evidence of telepathy, as in John’s case this evening.

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.

Ruburt picked up some communications from me last night. One which he did not get clearly was that you can take some consolation in the fact that your whole self is not as deeply affected by your present parents as you would suppose, and I promise to help you attain further important freedoms from any bad influences along this line, in a manner that will still allow you to help them without hurting yourself.
