“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It would seem to me that his nature would be somewhat above deliberately leading the poor deluded woman astray by lies. She is at best deluded and neurotic, and embarrassingly sincere.

Since when does Ruburt stoop so low as to make fun of fools? If anything, the woman deserves pity, and hardly scorn. I was not pleased with that performance.

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.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of an investigation. Ruburt simply should not be involved in it. It is not his place. It is not his area, and because of his conscientiousness, and hardheadedness, he would be much harder on these women than is necessary. But the thought of him baiting an elderly 72-year-old self-deluded woman is too much.

(Jane’s voice grew to a near shout, briefly. She said later that she did not know the age of the woman medium being discussed here, but that she had taken it for granted it would be in the seventies.)
