“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do not know if Ruburt is less nervous before a session when you do not use the board, or more nervous. After so many sessions I would think that he would be reassured.

Well, you will do well to give our peppery Ruburt his old divider or whatever up front but otherwise you are free as far as I am concerned.

I would also like to really bawl Ruburt out in strongest terms about his smoking habits. This time of year in particular too much smoking is not good; and he knows I was going to say this and blocked me nicely since the beginning of this session.

Ruburt was upset and for good reason. That is although in one way the birds that were killed were meeting a natural end, the reason behind this end was wrong in terms of emotional value and he sensed this. It goes without saying that a bird’s death is inevitable, but a cat killing a bird does not have to juggle the same sort of values with which man is concerned.

Your cat sensed me in the beginning of the session. He is however rather acquainted with me now. It takes a while for Ruburt and I to get together so to speak, and at that time I was diffused and he was confused.

I am ready to end the session, as I have been trying to watch your time and since Ruburt sends up such mighty shouts if I keep you over.

One of these nights Ruburt will get his because I will alternate a few sessions of regular material with a few sessions having to do with his present family.

It is most beneficial for Ruburt to be fairly well self-disciplined this period of the year, for reasons that I will go into later. A quiet schedule is important for him through April at least. Not boredom, dear Ruburt, you don’t have to worry. That is, a quiet schedule will help him direct and discipline and use beneficially the sudden spurt of nervous energy which sometimes overwhelms him.
