“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do not intend to let Ruburt in on any of my plans or intentions, as far as demonstrations are concerned. It is much better all around if he be kept clear of such knowledge. The last session with your friend went off extremely well, and I hope that he follows my advice. If Ruburt had known what was in my mind, he would have been nervous and self-conscious.

The advice itself was important. Philip’s abilities along the lines of electronics have not been developed to near capacity, and it was for his own good that I mentioned them. Then also the demonstration boosted Ruburt’s confidence in these sessions. That is all I will say about the matter for now. It is entirely within my abilities to produce such a plum as your Psychic Society is reaching for.

At this point it would be difficult for Ruburt to know of the possibility of such a demonstration before any particular session. I am not ruling out for now any foreknowledge on Ruburt’s part.

I mean any such performance as suggested in your letter from the Psychic Society. What I do I will do. I am saying that I do not want Ruburt’s consciousness involved beforehand, and the nervous strain on Ruburt’s part of wondering how such events will come to pass must also be avoided.

You are doing better than Ruburt, as far as your outside homework is concerned. Work with the ESP cards will be beneficial to both of you, since as you progress you will, through certain subconscious cues become aware of varying circumstances that will enable you to feel when you are coming through.

I may make this a short session, since Ruburt is somewhat indisposed, and after all I am not that much of a taskmaster. But if I do make it a brief session, then I will have you exercise your abilities with the ESP cards until the ordinary ending of the session. So you will not get off scot-free.

If we did that kind of thing once, and if Ruburt let it come through undistorted, theoretically our material would consist of stock reports. Everyone would want to know how to beat the market, and the material would quickly disintegrate. The knowledge is what I am trying to get across to you, and anyone who is ready and able to receive it. Too bad for the poor doctor.

And now I am going to give you an unheard of bonus, and close the session a trifle earlier, since Ruburt has been indisposed, and yet did not refuse to hold the session. Also because I got through the material I wanted to give you already. However, you know me, and I will make up the small difference in time. The material itself this evening was rather complex and Ruburt did allow it to come through, for which I shall give him the proverbial gold star.
