“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.”

One reason for the success of our communications is the peculiar abilities present in you both and the interaction between them, and the use that you both allow me to make of them. Ruburt’s intellect had to be of high quality. His conscious and unconscious mind had to be acquainted with certain ideas to begin with, in order for the complexity of this material to come through.

You, Joseph, were necessary, but we had to have this particular sort of intuitive intellect that could also deal expertly with words before we could actually begin; and it took Ruburt a long time to achieve this state because his conscious problems, and family relations and preoccupation with them, held him back.

I am now in contact with your parent’s entity and he tells me that subconsciously even his present personality, that is your father, appreciates this fact and loves you deeply. He himself, that is your father’s entity, feels no pain because of the present personality’s problems, since he is working out so many necessary kinks.

Your father’s entity’s name is Arruhk, A-r-r-u-h-k. I cannot go into all the problems of his present personality. They are definite challenges that he had to face, and the overall entity is facing the majority of these in one fell swoop, for his own reasons.

But you are to feel free from any rebuffs, realizing that the present personality of your father is choosing to face many hurdles at once. And in this life his failings are more apparent simply because they represent old leftover problem remnants; and you have had a lot to do with your father’s ability to face these problems all at once, so to speak.

His pent-up feeling could result in rather undisciplined psychic explosions that could be dangerous, though not necessarily so. This has its basis in Ruburt’s early life, and I will go into that later.

Ruburt is flexible to a large degree, but beneath there are prerequisites that he needs. Many of his Florida contortions had to do with a simple need, basic for him, having to do with space, orderliness and privacy. He does not speak of these as you do, but nevertheless woe if you ignore them, because he will react in an emotional explosion at best and a psychic explosion at worst.

He operates very well until these basic needs are jeopardized. I will tell you the reasons later, but regardless of his flamboyance and seeming disregard, he needs space division of certain activities, and privacy from the outside world. He deals with the outside world in a very constructive manner, provided that a division is set up between him and it so that it cannot leak through. Some illusion of an entryway would be helpful in your main room. He is extremely modest in strange ways; that is. Perhaps strange to you, Joseph, I am not sure.

You are so consciously aware of your need for privacy and you are so consciously modest, that his very strong but mostly unconscious needs in these directions sometimes go unsatisfied, since he is not as consciously aware of them.

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.

His needs that I have spoken of are really fears, which is why I took so much time to discuss them. He is unpredictable in that he is temperamentally good-natured, but you never know when the rocks will fly, and neither does he. Added to this is his strong domestic feelings now as a woman; and this, my dear Joseph, explains the incredible amount of furniture movings in which you have been involved.

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.
