“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These two factors are extremely important. I do not set them as conditions. It is simply a fact that little will be achieved without them.

Our main problem is simply Ruburt’s own confidence, or lack of it. This, in time, will not bother us. I spoke plainly in our recorded session, nor do I regret so doing. I am not only objective, I am also, perhaps unfortunately, given to bluntness.

It is quite true however that proof is not necessary from my standpoint. It is quite necessary perhaps from your standpoint. This is quite understandable, and since I realize this I do not see how it becomes an issue. Particularly since I have more than once stressed that I would cooperate.

My emotional response however was quite legitimate. I would prefer that some informal meeting be held if possible between us, as a preliminary to our venture. I do not necessarily stand on ceremony, but I do feel that some friendly discussion would be seeming under the circumstances.

We will try to see what we can do with your envelope. It contains paper with writing on it, printed or perhaps typewritten, and also I believe handwritten. It may be in the nature of a license, but it is of some legal nature rather than a personal note, blue or green and white, the handwritten material on printed lines. I believe it belongs to you, Joseph, and while it is yours that it has a legal connotation.

We are dealing here with something rather unusual, in that we are attempting to permit two personalities to exist side by side, so to speak. Ruburt is not in a deep trance state. I do not supersede his own personality. He allows me, in our sessions, to coexist with himself.

The features which hung in front of his face did not bother him, since he did not know what I had planned to do. For the record incidentally, let us add that this occurred in full light.

Using such a procedure in each session will do much to eliminate Ruburt’s uneasiness and to build his confidence. The emotional impetus however is lacking. In some manner perhaps in the future we can do something to build in an emotional impetus of some sort, as it will be conducive to success.

All in all, we did not do badly, considering that Ruburt was forewarned that a test would in fact take place.
