“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are a few points that I would like to make of a general nature. Ruburt has been reading Jung, though not consistently. The libido does not originate in the individual subconscious of the present personality. It originates instead in the energy of the entity and inner self, and is directed by means of the inner senses, outward so to speak, through the deeper layers of the individual subconscious mind, then through the outer or personal layers.

Ruburt blocked some of the material, but did let a significant portion through. The four men and the room overlooking the water that I mentioned, did refer to the men and the room Mark told you of. I did, however, see outside that night also a boat with a symbol on its bow, and this boat I had mentioned earlier. The boat was tied to a pier, and was the first in line as you looked out from the room.

I told you that this will be a short session, and so it will. I do suggest that on session nights Ruburt find some time to relax. Also that whenever possible you both read our material, and that you do continue now with psychological time, following the directions which I have given you.

I will not bother to make any comments on your lack of decision in following my suggestion during our unscheduled session, nor upon Ruburt’s change of position at the gallery. I suppose however, that in the last instance congratulations are in order, and so I make them.

I was concerned somewhat with Ruburt’s reading of Jung, simply because while he seems to offer more than Freud, in some aspects he has attempted much, and his distortions are fairly important, in that seeming to delve further and offering many significant results, he nevertheless causes insidious conclusions. All the more hampering because of his scope.

We are bringing all aspects into balance this way. Ruburt’s personality has held itself in excellent bonds, being flexible, and it is this flexibility that is extremely important. It is this flexibility, in both of your personality patterns, that gives us needed strength and balance, and I am speaking now of a subconscious flexibility, basic to your personalities.

It is for this reason that our progress has been smooth, and yet steady. Nor was, nor should, my well-meaning suggestion be taken, as Ruburt at least once mentioned, as any sort of temptation to him to retreat from the outer world.

I am not and never will, set Ruburt up or you up, Joseph, as any kind of superior beings, sacred in any way that all men and women are not sacred. If you and Ruburt have certain abilities to perceive, receive, translate and communicate that which some others cannot, many also have other abilities that neither of you do have.

I also want to add that I am not a control, as mediums speak of having a control. I am not, as I believe I have mentioned, a secondary or split personality of Ruburt’s. For example, I am not a conglomeration of male tendencies that have collected themselves into a subsidiary personality that struggles for recognition or release.

I am certainly not a conglomeration of vaguely-defined creative aspects of Ruburt’s personality, that struggle for release. Ruburt’s own array of writings, published and unpublished, should testify that he needs no added creative outlet.

There is no invasion of Ruburt’s mind or subconscious on my part. He allows us to communicate. My name for him is Ruburt, which happens to be a male name simply because the name is the closest translation, in your terms, for the name of the whole self or entity, of which he is now a self-conscious part.

There is no danger of either so-called (in quotes) “unhealthy or evil or demon, or uncontrolled spirits,” (end of quote), finding access to the door in the subconscious which Ruburt has opened. Such demons, as a rule when they seem to–

–suddenly burst forth, have long been hiding in the personal subconscious, and are indeed unfortunate creations of a psychotic mind. There are none of these in Ruburt’s subconscious mind.

Here the pressure is explosive, but this applies to neither of your cases. Therefore, we have no invasion of Ruburt’s personality on my part, as I have said. It will be shown that personalities continue to exist after physical death, and then it will not seem so strange that those such as myself can communicate.

I am an energy personality essence. Your inner sense of identity, and Ruburt’s, is strong. You have no need to even wonder about the possibility of any sort of invasion, that would be detrimental. And any invasion would be detrimental.
