“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do suggest a brief break. I want to go into this a little more tonight. Then I want to mention briefly Ruburt’s idea of my idea about the bed, and I want to at least mention the condensed time concept, and cover briefly something new, which is the self-conscious self behind the ego.

That remark about being broke is undistorted, but it depends upon your ability to assimilate this material, and particularly the personal material, thoroughly; that is, mostly emotionally and subconsciously as well as intellectually. I am sorry I did not realize to what extent some of this problem weighed you down, or I would have covered it much earlier.

Your reactions the other night, Joseph, had to do with two things; this sense of unjustified inferiority with your own ability to deal with the outside world, hence your physical immobility and back spasm; and with a superficial, rationalizing and false protective measure that operates intellectually in your case, making you think that outside conditions are so stupid that you refuse to do anything to alleviate them, feeling that the situation is so ridiculous that nothing you could do would change it. This is a rationalization to cover up the underlying, completely false sense of inferiority.

I can see that we will never cover the material I had planned for tonight, but it is more important that I get these ideas across to Joseph; and in so doing I am afraid I am wearing Ruburt out, in a way that I will explain at a later date.

You both are very much alike underneath the obvious differences, but Ruburt’s somewhat unrecognized needs along these lines are important. You will probably have to work out practical solutions. I hesitate to advise. If you hit upon the back room as a winter bedroom, perhaps you could purchase a secondhand rug, use plastic window covering, and maybe leave the door open. These are merely suggestions to be considered, not orders to be followed.

I am sorry that we could not cover more material but this personal data is important. Do you want to break or end the session?
