“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once again Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. The session was held in our small back room. She used her now familiar combination of rather rapid delivery, broken by pauses. Her voice was quiet and clear. She began at 8:58.)

(Jane now smiled.)

Smoking represents among other things, to him, a blanket of insulation, not only between himself and exterior reality, but a blanket between himself and interior reality. He is fully capable now of operating without such insulation, and it will be most beneficial for him to dispense with it.

Ruburt is more stable a personality than he knows, and thus he can now handle himself without dependence upon artificial supports such as his smoking. He will find that work on his book will go very well, smoothly. And as I believe as I have told you, our material will indeed be published.

Ruburt may indeed resume psychological time experiments, however, and he did understand me correctly. His experiments for now should be limited to a fifteen-minute daily period, and they should be held in the evening or afternoon.

I believe that now you can trust this prediction: By summer he will have broken the habit for good, and it will no longer be a worry. The various unfortunate effects that seem to be caused by smoking are not caused by the cigarettes so much, as by those psychic habits which cause a personality to seek security within such habitual patterns that become compulsive.

Some personalities need a habit security, and will switch from one habit to another. Ruburt is strong enough now so that this will not be the case. He should keep a close watch upon his smoking now, and immediately after his birthday he should break the habit completely. And I believe he will.
