“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt’s furniture assault began around January. It always begins around January, and in this case it will end this month. It is partly the expression of seasonal change. However you do have my sympathy, and Ruburt now is certainly not being ordered. Nevertheless I most respectfully request that the assault end.

The constant furniture moving certainly bothers you, Joseph. Except for the definite inconvenience which it causes you and for the energy lost, it is not seriously detrimental. Used judiciously, it can be a good outlet for excess nervous energy; but not, dear Ruburt, day after day after day. Do you want to be a poet or a furniture mover? I do suggest strongly now that you desist. My comments on this matter hereby end.

Joseph can be glad that Ruburt now tosses furniture and not rocks, though the assault incidentally is not directed against any person. Good aggressive energy that should go into Ruburt’s work is often misused. You can see the power of this energy in a more or less visible manner when it is demonstrated in this physical way. This same energy is used in Ruburt’s writing and is extremely strong, powerful and stormy often; and he is not, Joseph, trying to get out of his room as I believe you mentioned earlier.

I am sorry that your tree has vanished, yet we all know that the tree has not really vanished. And I hope that you will use your inner senses to create the tree in your mind for the painting that you have begun. Now it will be a better tree in the painting, for you will be able to create the essence of the tree.

Now basically, consciousness itself is a type of barrier, and anything that has consciousness experiences time to some degree. This degree may be so slight that to you it would not seem to exist at all. Self-consciousness presents a larger barrier, therefore the sense of time is greater. Psychological time is the lowest common denominator, so to speak, from your viewpoint. That is, many of the barriers disappear. Psychological time represents on your plane the closest you can come to the experience of timelessness as far as your physical laws are concerned.

(We were surprised now to see anyone working at this hour of the night. And of course we immediately thought of the session being interrupted. At 9:33, Seth interrupted break to deliver the following through Jane:)

Full use of the inner senses is not even for me yet. There is still a long way for me to go. We progress along these lines according to our capabilities and our own strengths. The conscious ego also develops in a strange manner through all this, as I will now attempt to explain.

You would find it difficult to attend to or be aware of regular outer stimuli while you dealt with the ordinary function of daily life. Is it then any wonder that the outer ego leaves the inner data to the safekeeping of the inner ego? You are truly babes in the woods, having enough trouble getting along in your own universe. And do not get your feelings hurt, I am not referring to either of you in particular, as you should know by now.

I keep them especially for you. One more note before I leave you. Music is somewhat of a conditioning factor as far as Ruburt is concerned. Although he knows nothing of music now, he was once proficient in it. That ability now is channeled into his excellent facility in rhythmic poetry.

And now, peachies, this is the end of my biting comments. I hope you are not too fuzzy.
