“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am glad that at least Ruburt seems merry, since Philip is obviously in such low inner spirits.

I am, first, out of the splendid goodness of my heart, going to make a short suggestion. You have been so faithful, and indeed so studious in our discussion of matter, on matters that matter, that I will let you off, if Ruburt and you would like to accompany your down-in-the-mouth Philip on his trip from bar to bar.

Now a word—Ruburt confuses me with this long horsey mane; my neck grows warm—a word about another situation.

I will not dare to go into a general discussion on the subject of women, since Ruburt would really boil. I do not know why he would react in such a manner; only out of a mistaken sense of loyalty, I suppose.

Nevertheless, I would like to make a few remarks about a particular situation. I have a way with women, and in my time did very well. I indeed have been a woman, as Ruburt has often been a man.

Nevertheless, if these sessions were coming through you, Joseph, rather than through Ruburt vocally, then Philip’s wife would not be so concerned. This is not a conscious reaction on her part, although she does react consciously against the woman who has been recording the sessions.

To be, or to attempt to be an entire human being, is difficult. Because of western civilization in particular, this is extremely difficult for women in particular. This is not intended specifically to apply to Ruburt; that is, he is not to get a big head, nor is he to feel offended either. Nevertheless both Ruburt and the woman who transcribed the notes are unusually independent, and women will resent independence in other women, though they appreciate the same quality in a man.
