“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The experience did involve several experiments that he was making without, of course, conscious knowledge. Several lessons may also be learned from this. The inner self is well aware of its innate capabilities in certain directions, and directs its efforts along these lines.

The word slow, or slowly, is not good in this connotation, since of itself it does not necessarily suggest safety, but a mere neutral and temporary putting off. So far Ruburt is doing well, and will learn as he progresses how to operate inner acceleration and flow, or rush of energy, so that he is comfortable. And the ego, through experience, will learn that the inner self will always return safely. And it would be most unjust, and needlessly cruel, not to give the ego this necessary reassurance; and also the inner self should manage to communicate to the ego its gratitude for the ego’s protective concern.

This involves a simple communication both ways. Familiarity with such experiences, again, will quickly teach Ruburt to use the right touch, to learn how to control this acceleration and rush of the self, going either inward or outward; that is, leaving the physical image and returning to it; as with your airplanes, I believe, landing is important, without a crash.

We anticipate no airline disasters, so to speak. Perhaps, inevitably, a few bumpings along the ground. These controls in the long run must be learned individually, directly through experience, but I can be of some aid.

There are always new things to be learned as new levels are reached, new controls to be mastered, new balances to be maintained, new disciplines that must be adopted; and initially this does involve a natural, added exertion of energy and increased activity, before the whole self learns to deal with the new level, and is comfortable in its manipulations.

During ordinary plateaus between levels, there is little such difficulty. Such relatively harmless difficulties however are more than compensated for by increased confidence and achievements that emerge as the difficulties are met, and controls learned.

(Jane has quite a bit of material out to various publishers. From past experience we have learned to be careful in trying to interpret this kind of material, and so will not try very hard with this information, preferring to see what develops and then include it in the record.
