“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt in many ways was more often than either of us, more receptive to what could not be seen or touched. But contrariwise he doubted, always probed and then often doubted quite legitimate results, as indeed he sometimes continues to do so.

Einstein traveled within, and trusted, his own intuitions, and used his inner senses. He would have discovered much more had he been able to trust his intuitions even more, and able to leave more of the so-called scientific proof of his theories to lesser men, to give himself more inner freedom.

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.

(Jane was fully dissociated. She said she thought Seth kept her going until he had gotten all of the above material through. Usually she does not reach full dissociation until the second 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).

My apologies, I forgot your break again. And incidentally: Ruburt’s hard-headedness and egotistical dragging of feet so far, hampers me in a beautiful little demonstration. I see the office of your precious Psychic Society, and your director, but Ruburt fears to make a mistake, and he blocks me.

Ruburt possesses two necessary qualities which luckily do not blot each other out, though they could. He is extremely receptive, open to and even appreciative of inner data, and also possesses an ego strong enough to maintain necessary discipline. This makes it easier and also more difficult for me, but goes a long ways toward minimizing any psychological dangers on your part, and what is gained is solid. There will be no backtracking, and while achievements along some lines may be slower they can be counted upon.

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.

As for you, your abilities are latently of the highest quality, but you also bring up inhibiting barriers that I hope will vanish. In some respects Ruburt long ago developed his ability to draw upon basic energy. If we can, and we can, overcome his quite natural fears and inhibitions, we can all use this ability with most beneficial results. He thinks he is undisciplined. Actually he early recognized his ability to draw upon added energy, and somewhat feared it.
