“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your idea of a spirit, I believe, is something without form, and I can have form. I certainly have structure. It is true at this point, under ordinary circumstances—that is ordinary for you—you cannot “see”—in quotes—my structure. This does not mean that I have none.

If at any time in the future there is even the necessity for a deeper trance on Ruburt’s part, I will let you know at the time and there will be nothing to worry about. But as a rule this will not be the case, and at all times Ruburt can use his own volition, giving or not giving his permission. This should relieve your minds on this point.

(“What’s the point of ectoplasmic manifestations, anyway? I’ve often wondered.”)

Your personality will also grow through such contacts. I hesitate to point this out, or rather Ruburt is hesitating about letting me point this out, but your present father’s personality would not have been half as hampered had he allowed it such contact. You do not have to fear heredity here of course, but rather examples received from him when you were very young.

All in all a splendid session. I’ve been attempting to get the point across about your father’s example now for three sessions, and finally Ruburt let me make it.
