“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt correctly sensed that I was with you this afternoon. You both tuned me in, and I found your discussion extremely interesting, though I must say I am rather glad that I do not have to deal with such matters myself any longer.

It would not do in any case for you to purchase land that is closed in. This would not work out for either of you. It would bother you Joseph, as well as Ruburt. It is a very good idea for you to buy a house with land about it at this time. You were once a landowner, as you know, and your great desire for many acres stems from this.

I am now used to being so greeted by your pussycat, and while it bothers me not one whit, Ruburt does not take kindly to being so treated.

You should not go into debt. That is, though I am no banker, you should not at this time pay more than six thousand, even though a higher figure might make more land possible. The financial worry would, in the end, even cause you, and not Ruburt, to feel bitter at the land itself. You were used to getting a livelihood, and a good one, from the land.

The idea of purchasing it now causes subconscious anger, though you love land. Ruburt will prove to expand as you will. He will be very good with anything having to do with planting, and the intimacy with the seasons will bring you both to a greater psychic fruition. This intimacy with the seasons is important to you both.

I anticipate no road difficulties. Your idea of trading your car for an old jeep would work out very well, and would not be costly. All windows in the house should be, as Ruburt suggested, opened; let the hilltop air blow through. The bottom of the house has been closed for too long, but there is no great difficulty here. Opening the windows in the lower portion will abet a slight musty dampness.

I would strongly suggest a garden, in which both of you work. You will find a strong attachment to it, Joseph, as will Ruburt, and there is room. With the surrounding woodland, I see that a garden and a quiet lawn place to the side of the house is very good. You will find that a very small pond arrangement, of the artificial purchased sort, a basin arrangement where water drips through rocks, behind the glass windows in the rear, here with a very simple grouping of rocks and flowers, would serve you to great benefit: as a place of inner contemplation, in which the inner senses would greatly expand their reach.

Later, and Ruburt sensed part of this, a simple and inexpensive enclosure here would provide the utmost in privacy. Not for a sacred grove, and yet for a simple setting within the outdoor nature that would serve you very well for a different sort of inner sense development than you usually achieve indoors.

You will be able to find them all without difficulty. I mention this only because otherwise you and Ruburt might think it nice to save a few toys for the cat. There is no great danger here by any means, but these simple precautions will forestall any difficulties.

I bid you my usual fond good evening, with a small note to Ruburt, though I am sure that his housekeeping abilities need no reminder: that the cupboards must be cleaned thoroughly, and the bathroom, since the rooms are fairly close.

Although your apartment has its drawbacks, and although it is about time for you to own a portion of land yourselves, overall the apartment, because of that relationship, has been beneficial. And this is the reason that Ruburt chose the apartment to begin with, and why you went along despite realization of its other disadvantages.

Incidentally Ruburt, yes, the water there is safe for swimming. I will really close, but I did want to let you know of the importance of these particular good friends.

The gallery situation did not enter into my calculations of finances. I used Ruburt’s present situation, and the amount and so forth can be carried as things stand. They will not stand as such, but will improve. Nevertheless you do not have to wait for absolute notice of such improvement before entering into this particular transaction.
