“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We do not have that trouble here, for here, if we may use Philip as another example, we find better balance. Philip relates himself well in an outward manner, insisting to some extent that he maintain also his inward integrity. I am here mentioning the two personalities and bringing them together in our discussion because they are both salesmen.

There is much I will say at a later date, having to do with Ruburt’s truly idiotic performance in visiting the supposed medium in your town.

On the other hand, I did watch with some amusement as the scene was enacted in a small room, and as the ghosts were supposed to materialize in the doorway. I do therefore on the one hand somewhat appreciate Ruburt’s reaction. In one of my more friendly moods, I might indeed have tried a materialization of my own that would have frightened the poor woman out of her wits.

Nevertheless, I did not do so, and I feel duty bound to mention the fact that Ruburt’s performance was dishonest, and there was no good reason for it. It would be much better for him also if he stayed out of the investigation that he so gleefully entered into with Peggy Gallagher, concerning the so-called mediums in your town.

We find that he relates well to the outside environment. And then we have this secrecy of which I said I would not speak. We also find, in your other friend, boundless energies and a genuine ability to relate to others. But the personality is torn against itself. It does not believe in what it is doing, and here we will find a comparison between this tendency toward secrecy on Philip’s part, and this divided nature on the part of your other friend.

For when your other friend is relating to the exterior environment, he does something that Philip does not do. He closes himself off entirely, as much as possible, from the inside environment. Philip insists, in a rather cocky manner, in taking his own inner integrity along. Your other friend cannot, so far, relate the inner and the outer selves. He can relate to the inner self or the outer self, but he has not learned to unite the two, nor allowed for any understanding or communication between them.

(Break at 10:00. Jane was again well dissociated. Her pace had been fast, and my writing hand was tiring. I had already asked Seth to slow down several times, and now at break asked Jane, as Jane, to see what she could do about the problem. In recent sessions her rate of speaking has pushed my writing ability to the limit, even with the rather elaborate system of symbols and abbreviations I have evolved for taking down the sessions.

Philip’s connection with the conservative groups, politically speaking, will strangely enough have something to do with the promotion which can be later expected. This connection will not have to do with the fact that his group is conservative, necessarily, but will have to do with the fact that he exerts leadership in that area.

Oddly enough, the fact that the movement is conservative will work to his advantage in very strange ways. Though they may not agree with his political beliefs, they will on the other hand trust his integrity because the movement is conservative. They do not believe that he would follow an unpopular cause unless he believed in it. They will want a man who is sincere. They will also want a man who can lead. They will be afraid of a liberal. I hope that this is sufficient. After our next break I will give you what additional information I have. You may take a break, or we will continue with our session.

I should from here on call you “I will take a break Joseph.” I do, however, appreciate the work that you give to our sessions, and if you will forgive my humor I will forgive yours, as I sometimes am acquainted with it on those few occasions when I look in on you between sessions. By all means take your break, and if you prefer I will then continue.

The fact that Philip has become involved with a political movement will indeed, of itself, have much to do with the promotion that will follow if he waits for it.

Philip would do well in his home relationships to be more open, for there is a possibility that his secretiveness could here cause serious difficulties. The home relationship is a strong basis for his inner security, and if he threatens it this will be seriously reflected in his other areas of activity.
