“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If I were such a secondary personality for example, I would have long ago discarded any semblance of concern for Ruburt’s own identity; and also the fear patterns of which I would have been composed would have long ago asserted themselves.

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.

The necessary focus point may be achieved through trance, hypnosis or self-hypnosis, or through certain other disciplines. It may happen spontaneously, as when a severe emotional reaction is set off; through external circumstances, and what Ruburt has read in the past along these lines is partially correct.

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.

These sessions come from, or are received through, what we may call, since we are using terms of succession, from the third undifferentiated level, beneath the limitations of Ruburt’s personal subconsciousness.

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.

I am suggesting that psychological time experiments be again adopted for you both. Ruburt has great faith in such experiments when they are successful and when he knows I am not connected with them. The autumn will be an auspicious season in this respect. When our next session arrives I will discuss the furthermost level of the subconscious from the present ego, the particular advantage of the undifferentiated levels, and at least begin a discussion of dreams and the types of dreams that spring from the various levels.

Dear Joseph, when I spoke of you both being in excellent overall condition, I did not mean that I overlooked your yearly hay fever, into which we shall go in so far as causes and alleviation of symptoms are concerned, and shortly. I meant that both of your overall vital psychic reserves were being well utilized, and that your general health was, believe me, excellent. If you will remember your previous severe back trouble, and Ruburt’s which has entirely vanished, you should be able to see what I meant.
