“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt did not call me, and yet certain elements in his inner mind spontaneously came to my attention. It occurred to me that perhaps you did not know the importance of the material, or found it difficult to pick out its most distinguishing and valuable points.

You will find those who will help. Any divergence of opinion between Ruburt and yourself may be taken to me if such arises. The material should be copied as faithfully as possible. You may need to make certain deletions, but upon any given subject I prefer not to be paraphrased.

If you do not have faith in them, who else shall be expected to? Ruburt, in fear of being thought of as an hysterical woman, does hold back at times, as is somewhat natural, and within limits necessary.

I must therefore work within the limitations of both of your doubts, and your doubts and only your doubts, will hold us back. For both of your informations, and this is entirely without distortion, Ruburt, for all his bellowing, will find the following as impractical as you will, Joseph.

–already anticipating your and Ruburt’s automatic horror at such impracticality, and also already knowing that Ruburt will fear that you will fear that the material is distorted.

My suggestion will be, therefore, that Ruburt do his own work in the mornings. Incidentally, I will make some effort to help him in this line, so that financially things will balance out. Afternoons, instead of working at the gallery, I would suggest that he busy himself with my book. Seriously, as he does with his own work, and that you continue to record our sessions.

I am concerned with your welfare. I am concerned with a book that will spread these ideas. While I have Ruburt in such an excellent state of passivity, I will add another point that he has blocked in the past.

I have not, apparently, made as much headway with you as I thought. Ruburt is indeed correct, and I am concerned for you both, in that by now you should be able to put this material to practical ends—that is, by now these basic ideas should make your practical existence improve.

You cannot get the results first for a test. It goes without saying that Ruburt’s technical abilities and know-how as a writer are developed. It is theoretically, but definitely, possible for an individual to suddenly perform an art for which he has in the past achieved no conscious knowledge or mastery, and to do it well. But usually expectations are just not that strong, and a conscious and unconscious preparation is necessary.

Above all the commitment. While other avenues are being used to approach financial gains, in this case they are relied upon too long. Ruburt fixed the car, so to speak, in his own psychic manner. He would never have fixed it with a screwdriver, if he had a screwdriver in his hands.

I anticipated that my suggestion would even frighten Ruburt more than it frightened you, and you’re pretty horrified.

It is precisely because Ruburt will be cut off from funds that he will permit himself, and demand of himself, that he use all of his tremendous energy in his work. Not in any sort of conscious desperation, but in the sudden and joyous release of energy toward constructive ends.

Ruburt will shortly come out of his daze. I imagine he will feel rather shocked. The decision, as always, is your own. I will not reprimand you if you do not take this course. I do say that it is the best one.
