“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do not know specific people, but I will improve upon these matters as our grand duchess lowers her guard. I am quite dependent upon your Ruburt-Jane, not in my own perceptions but in my ability to communicate them to you. The whole problem lies here, but we are making strides, and we are making them despite some personal temporary setbacks, when Ruburt reads a book that makes him worry about these sessions. Then all three of us work twice as hard for the same results.

I do not think you are pushing her, nor am I. It is known however that a feeling of affirmation and confidence is indispensable in any such circumstances. The tricky thing here is that a plus expectancy and inner confidence always brings the best results with the least effort. Ruburt is attracted by and yet doubtful of his own abilities. This is based upon the personal feelings of Ruburt, who is a woman now and does not wish to appear flighty or hysteric.

He knows that his particular abilities are very well developed on a subconscious level, and actually fears that they might carry him away. Yet the intuitive qualities have made him a poet, and have always represented a strong and not weak part of his personality. They are actually well balanced in that they are not likely to sweep him off in any one direction willy-nilly, but could allow him a steady progression into various levels of direct experience.

You however are not so afraid of your own abilities. I am speaking now of psychic abilities and the reason is again personal, since you have been aware of them in a somewhat different manner. You appear to others as dependable, responsible and disciplined. Ruburt, with a different appearance and with different personal background, particularly involving his mother, has been fearful of displaying characteristics that he would consider emotional because the emotional is such a part of his personality, and there has been a distrust here of the strong parts of his personality.

This was the result in the past of the adolescent’s rather natural lack of discipline. You learned discipline at an early age, and therefore did not have to fear the abilities that you disciplined rather easily, and for reasons that I have explained to you earlier. This gives you greater inner confidence, and the confidence itself is a very important element in these sessions.

You should continue your own experiments in the use of psychological time, Joseph, as we also depend upon your abilities in these sessions.

Some is distorted. Our material is much more trustworthy. This in no way reflects upon Frank Watts. It has something to do with him but also something to do with the development of your own abilities.

You have more abilities and capabilities than you know. You must avoid being too ingrown, while still maintaining your personal necessity for some isolation.
