“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am actually quite honored by my reception. You did not always greet me so kindly. You and I fell to fistfights upon a few occasions. Nor would such weighty material have appealed to you then. For that matter, neither would it have appealed to me.

Any scientific personage of your generation will immediately panic at such suggestions as I am making. You are so taken up with your precious camouflage patterns, and so unfamiliar with the inner propulsion behind all such materializations, that it will be a while before any headway is made.

There is only a relatively small layer of personal material, and therefore egotistical and distortive material, at the upper reaches of the subconscious. This layer can be quickly recognized, as a rule. Ruburt recognizes it now, and he is no scientist or psychologist. For the record, you understand that I am referring to egotistical material as that portion that is concerned with the outer camouflage-oriented personality, and that the stronger inner ego actually represents the power and ability behind the outer ego.

I will never either suggest or condone a wholesale letting go of outer personality defenses. I am attempting to build up your outer personalities in their dealings with the outside world, while at the same time teaching the inner self spontaneity and freedom. This is quite a project.

I am tempted to continue without allowing you a break. Ruburt is doing well without one, but I am concerned with your fingers. Are they faltering? If so, then by all means take a break.

I will give you some material before I am through. The experiments will only have to be tried and their validity will speak for itself. If I can get Ruburt over his sometimes cussed hardheadedness, his belligerent egotistical blunderings, then he can perform feats that will more than show the validity of my statements. To think that I am to some admittedly large extent dependent upon his development! (exclamation point).

I am trying to develop Ruburt’s abilities so that he does not use his own nervous energy in these sessions because, oh, he would squawk if he was tired and did not get his own writing time in.

On your part also there is, or would be ordinarily, a rather extensive expenditure of energies, and I am attempting to minimize this also. I do not want to take any energy from your own work, and with training the end result will be an extra reservoir of energy.

This have been a very good session. I could go on for hours. I will not out of deference, though I am tempted. In Triev there were nights where we talked, and now again there are nights where we talk.

I am going slow so as not to frighten you. When you have witnesses, effects and knowledge will be displayed. I do not want to end the peacefulness of our quiet and intimate sessions, and never will suggest that they all be witnessed. Nevertheless, witnesses will prove an asset when you feel ready, and suitable ones are found. By all means experiment with psychological time, both of you, for there confidence is to be found.

As much as I truly regret closing the session I will do so, so that you can get your sleep. However I am often here, and my energy pervades the chair, Joseph, upon which you sit, and the pen with which you write. I hesitate even now to close the session, but realize that you must be weary.
