“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

Now, people who believe strongly in your organized religions are used to thinking in terms of an inner world. For this reason many of them have been recipients of inner data from others like myself. They are endowed with a readiness to listen, for one thing, and with a helpful faculty for suspending camouflage logical thinking. However, there are disadvantages involved which I do not like to encounter.

First of all personally: You, Joseph, have acquired an unjustified sense of inferiority as far as not only your dealings with your parents are concerned, but also concerning your dealings with the outside world; and even, for what unknown reason, with your dealings with your own talent.

This experience alone with me will yield financial benefits, but not because you would naturally like it to be so, but because you are expanding, and for some other allied causes. As far as parents are concerned, face it. You were saddled with rather troublesome ones, and for reasons which I will go into sometime later; but not involving guilt of any sort.

If you do not realize this emotionally then you tend to immobilize yourself, as you did the other night, when identifying your neighbor with your mother. There is no basic or real reason for any sense of inferiority on your part; and you must, Joseph, rise above this because it is disabling.

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.

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.

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.

(I laughed, because I had been joking about this. It is no joke however that for some reason I become very uncomfortable each Christmas. Jane and I have been aware of this for some years, and have often wondered why. I feel distinctly relieved when the holiday season has passed.
