“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane also reported that twice within the past two days she had received “flashes” in the third person, to the effect that our bed, temporarily in the living room, should be moved to my empty studio in the back of the apartment if we are still here next winter. The messages were to the effect that “Ruburt’s psychic energies could be dangerous if he [Jane] does all his living in one room.”

(I had to ask Jane to repeat the last few words of the above paragraph. As soon as I did a startling thing happened: Jane began to talk in a very loud and vibrant voice. It was as though she had suddenly received an extra charge of energy. This strong but not especially deep voice persisted, but did drop somewhat in volume after a couple of hundred words. Her eyes were very dark.)

Now, it is true that Ruburt possesses strong psychic energy, as you do. But your unjustified sense of inferiority has held you back to some degree, though I believe that this is lessening now. I am sure it is lessening. In any case Ruburt’s psychic energy becomes at times undisciplined. For reasons that I will consider later he should not feel pent in.

(Break at 11:00. Jane said she felt Seth “pushed through” a lot of important material, and in so doing used up a lot of her energy in a way she doesn’t yet understand. She feels exhausted, yet is all right as soon as Seth begins again. During this monologue she was not conscious of her surroundings. Jane resumed dictating at 11:02.)

The illusion of an entryway would be desirable if possible. Ruburt holds and collects his psychic energy, and without knowing it does not like it to bleed outward. You are more consciously aware of your own similar needs.

Any arrangements you can think of that will satisfy some of these needs are worth it. If Ruburt had his way, something would shield you both when the door was opened from the hallway. He does not even like to partake of food in full viewpoint of others. The corner working space, any corner working space, pleases him, because it provides a place for the collection of psychic energy, and also serves as protection to his way of seeing things. It is too bad you cannot eat in your kitchen, but I believe something can be worked out with that arrangement as it exists.

I do not want Ruburt’s psychic energies soaked up in trying to fight these needs, however. We need all of your psychic energies for our work, and you will learn in the future to use these energies well, and also to draw upon energies from the basic vitality.
