“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane called the store Monday, and was told the package had been found. I drove her down to the store for it Monday evening. She plans to use these two experiences in her ESP book. Jane tells me that she now has little talks with her subconscious, requesting its help. I have been experimenting also with subconscious communication, at times with excellent results, and also using the permissive “I can” approach, rather than the commanding “I will” approach.

We find here a situation this morning in which Ruburt achieved excellent communication with his own personal subconscious, spoke with it, giving it credit for being as important to the whole personality as the ego.

The personal subconscious and the ego are indeed equal partners in the formation of any given present personality. Ruburt’s results are evidence that his training is bearing fruit. Once such a relationship is set up between the ego and the subconscious, then communication in general between the two will always improve. The subconscious, even the personal subconscious, is much freer from the moment point than is the ego, and it can inform the ego of important developments which can be of great help.

This sort of communication also comes close to action in a fairly pure state. There is also another result of such relative ease of communication between the ego and the subconscious, in that the subconscious, which is listened to and taken into consideration by the ego, will have relatively little need to make its wishes known in other, perhaps less pleasant ways. Illnesses and various minor and major physical symptoms are often caused as the subconscious tries to speak out, in an effort to make itself heard by the unheeding conscious mind. If the conscious mind consults with the subconscious, such nagging or sometimes explosive efforts will not be needed.

I am going to say more here concerning those characteristics of Ruburt’s whole self, which allow me to communicate with your field. Here, however, I merely wished to make the point that this communication between your own egos and your own subconscious must depend upon yourselves, and the easier the communication between the ego and the personal subconscious the greater the strength, abilities, potentialities and value fulfillment of the present personality as a whole.

Later you will not need the pendulum. The habit of communication will then operate without it. All the information, for example, that I gave you earlier, very much earlier, concerning say your refrigerator, and the unsuitability of its location at that time, such details could have been received through the pendulum.

Such easy communication with the subconscious will also allow the subconscious to be more flexible, in allowing various information through to the ego from the deeper layers of the whole self. As a further benefit there will be increased joy, and a feeling of oneness with the self, and with reality in general.

Ruburt is only learning now not to scold and badger his subconscious. Again, all of this involves action within action. Now. It is the intuitive, spontaneous and psychically exuberant nature of Ruburt’s whole entity, for one thing, that makes it possible for me to communicate with you both.

Translations, and faithful ones, of my communications are constantly made by a certain portion of his inner self. Nor is your capacity here a passive one. Your psychic energies help him make these translations. At times you join together to enlarge your psychic environment, allowing me to come within its limits.

This will all be explained in particular, rather than general terms at a later date. Suffice it to say here that such communications, again, represent the characteristics of motion in a more or less pure form. I will have something to say also, perhaps at our next session, concerning Ruburt’s experience this afternoon.

Therefore, to some extent we are part of one vast sphere of action; and it is relatively more easy, therefore, for us to communicate. You in particular, Joseph, can benefit through the development of an easy access of communication with your own personal subconscious. Our Ruburt is indeed at times heavy-handed. At times he badgers you, but his remarks concerning the importance and indeed the strength of joy, should be well taken.

In any fairly normal personality the intellect will indeed stand guard. There is no need to fear identity’s complete immersion into emotional sensation. Such emotional experience actually strengthens not only the ego, but it opens communications between the ego and the subconscious, and allows for a much greater flow of energy from the primary source of action.
