“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

What was once the subconscious of these individuals once more united with the inner ego, which always represents the true individual, and these then advanced according to their own abilities and desires.

It is also possible that these secondary personalities, emerging, give access to buried abilities and benign constructive abilities which had been buried beneath heavier fears that weighed them down. In any case this level represents the last division of what we may call the present personal subconscious, and still only accounts for a small dimension of the inner self, being composed of only the most easily accessible portions.

Nor would any intrinsically valuable information have come through, unless of course Ruburt had no strong, utilized creative outlets of his own. For oftentimes a benevolent secondary personality will indeed act as an outlet for creative abilities that the dominant ego has been unable to use.

Obviously people vary in their ability to change their point of focus. Many find difficulty in changing it at all. Some, because of excellent development, inner communication with the inner self, feel subconsciously secure enough to change focus spontaneously, as one might listen to one radio station and then another, still retaining knowledge of the basic “I” who listened.

This is entirely within Ruburt’s natural ability. However controls adopted during this life made his abilities late in showing themselves, and now training and confidence must be given before he can spontaneously adapt himself.

As it is, he does not have sufficient inner confidence to give reign to his abilities, for changing his focus point. It was the outlet of creative writing, early adopted, that saved him from becoming a most rigid and frozen personality; and if he had adopted such a stonelike ego, then indeed he would now be in dangerous circumstances, since his strong creative nature would finally and disastrously have shattered the stone image.

Finding you Joseph, as a partner, and a complete psychic and sexual partnership, also helped deliver him from such an eventuality. He would have finally used his psychic abilities in any case, but they would have under those conditions been tools, or used as tools of the personal subconscious in diverse ways, shattering beyond repair the unity and integrity of the personality.

Without his blocking therefore, he would have access to the previous three lives that he has lived, and in detail. And since his abilities are strong, he would also have access to your previous three lives, since he picks up much information from you telepathically.

The Frank Watts material represented communication on the first level of undifferentiated fields. Both Ruburt and Frank Watts were experimenting. According to an individual’s abilities and development, he can change his focus so that it encompasses realities further and further from the concern of the ego, and in this Ruburt has come far. The phrase “give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s” is a good one. You see I am better acquainted with biblical phrases than either of you.

In other words, Ruburt’s ego should be and is properly concerned with contact, development and progress in the physical field. His ego is a critical one. It is his inner ego which is intuitional and gives his critical ego the material from which his books are written; and I expect naturally that his ego, and yours, will critically appraise what we have done here, what we will do, and beyond doubt any suggestions to you that I might make. But also his abilities should be used to better advantage in our sessions, and this I know will only come about when his ego is assured, through examination of our material, of its validity.

This is as it should be. It is only because his abilities and his faith in you are so strong that we can put the material safely to the test, and he will become more freely accessible to the use of his own abilities as time goes by.
