“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is much easier for me to deal with other people’s illnesses and health nuisances, than it is to deal with Ruburt’s. He asks me a question and then slams the ego gates down, refusing to hear the answer. Because of any distortive possibilities, I try to stay out of such matters unless they are serious.

Whenever dates are mentioned, incidentally, I would suggest caution and attention, regardless of the reason given or the person to whom the date is supposed to be significant. This is good general practice. A few times, because Ruburt was so upset, I managed to console him by saying that he wasn’t pregnant when he rather feared that he might be. But you are not after all supposed to depend upon me, but to develop your own insights, and also to gain from your own mistakes and experience. This is why I do not give you gaudy predictions.

Ruburt is quite free to use the pendulum. This involves something that has nothing to do with me, but is a fairly reliable method of reaching the subconscious. As a rule the answers are dependable, and this is all I will say.

The material with which we are dealing tonight is extremely vital, and yet is only given in outline form. Incidentally for Ruburt’s benefit, first he finds difficulty with his writing and then gets something wrong with him physically, not the other way around.

Any serious illness possible or probable in Ruburt’s present existence would have occurred in his youth, at the age of 15, when a severe psychic crisis threatened. A serious illness was possible for you, Joseph, at the age of 33, and was averted. However, in all cases even minor physical nuisances deplete energy. Energy is yours for the asking, as you know, but you must know enough to ask.

Neither of you will lose physical organs from this time on, unless you drastically alter your personalities in an unwholesome manner. There is no doubt that Ruburt should stop smoking. However I know that he will, and am not concerned.

Since we are on the subject I suggest that Ruburt wash his mouth four times a day, for at least a week, with salt water. This will be advantageous. Also that he continue what he is doing as far as writing poetry for at least an hour after supper.

A deep feeling of dissatisfaction will show itself in early symptoms of furniture moving; not on a casual and to-be-expected normal scale, but on a truly monumental scale. The aggression however wants to be directed against the living things, and in lieu of angry letters Ruburt finally stops moving furniture and literally shoves himself around.

I tell you this so that you will know that if the sudden disruption of your quiet apartment is a sign of such aggression, its sudden aftermath is often a sign for stiff necks and sore gums. It would be much easier, I should think, in the long run for Ruburt to direct his aggression against the proper persons, where at least it will be understood. Editors like other human beings know when they are lax.

If I can manage Ruburt then I will have a bit more to say, but only a bit after you take your needed break.

You both should progress along these lines. In some respects under usual circumstances at least, Ruburt is more proficient than you, but in times of crisis he reverts and runs full steam ahead on limited energy; often quite automatically he transforms available and abundant psychic energy for his own purposes, and later forgets how he has done it.

This will be one of the very practical contributions of these sessions to daily life. I am not going to keep you until 11:30. Nevertheless these statements concerning energy should be taken most seriously, for you both can benefit from them. They are not distortions. Ruburt’s performance during our sessions should certainly be adequate proof for my statements concerning additional energy automatically taken and used.

Your name was Williams, as your hypnotic session showed. You met Ruburt in Boston, in this country, after an absence from him. You did have five children in the family, that is, two brothers and three sisters, one sister dying before you were grown.

Ruburt blocks me. It was not in this country. You came here, to Boston. Maryland is a city. It is not a state in your country, in which you were born. Records may be possibly found in Boston. Your mother’s name was Josephine, hence your name was Joseph, even then.

You were at that time slim and disciplined to some degree, ending up however with four children and a wife who became an invalid, the wife being Ruburt’s present mother. Ruburt has blocked this in the past. You did not get along well, and instantly disliked each other in this life.

Walter Zeh was your wife’s sister. I have decided to tell you this. Walter Zeh was tubercular, and also as a woman extremely fleshy, as indeed your wife was. When Walter met Ruburt’s mother they also disliked each other instantly in this life, since they quarreled over the same man, and you were that man. You wanted the sister that you did not get. In other words you wanted Ruburt’s present mother.

Here we see patterns re-enacting. Ruburt is all right, although he will try and block me when he can. Of course he knew his present mother earlier, but only as an acquaintance. The familiarity drew him this time and that is all.

You became disillusioned with your wife. You had a brief affair with the sister, that is Ruburt’s present mother, but she was even then like a vulture and scared you off. She never forgave you for breaking with her.

I can get no more material through, as Ruburt I am afraid will begin to distort.

She is the present Dee Masters, and your Ruburt knew her in Boston as the rich wife of a politician. You visited your friend’s apothecary shop twice.

I do not know how much further Ruburt will go along with me. There was one illegitimate child as a result of your affair with Ruburt’s present mother. The church had three bells. You were disciplined in all ways except sexual ways. You had close to 300 parishioners and a very husky voice. You died at 63 and were buried in the church courtyard.

Ruburt has used his reserves of energy for the night, attempting to block me. However quite a bit of good information came through and so I must say good night, this time for Ruburt’s sake, as he is blocking Walter Zeh or Z-i-a-k-a material most strongly.
