“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The reactions are beautiful examples. First of all Ruburt was worried, somewhat, concerning your own reactions when you found that you now had a new engagement for Friday evening, after already planning to cancel a previous one, in order to have some free time for yourself, and he felt to blame since he had already made a commitment to Mark—rather unwillingly, by the way. But it will harm him in no way to help Mark in his endeavor.

He was quite correct in assuming as he did that his upset had little to do with a lack of chairs, since he knew perfectly well that a sufficiency was available. Now, for another piece to our puzzle. The mayor is also to be present upon this occasion, and Ruburt thought subconsciously how pleased her friend, Edward Briscoe, would be in his simple way—in the old days—to be present, and how impressed he would be with the mayor.

I decided to mention this since he is at the point now—I am speaking of Ruburt—when he will not accept the superficial reasons given by the ego for many reactions, but seeks to discover deeper causes. There was also some other problem here, in that Ruburt feels, as you do, and quite rightly, that Mark is in over his head, psychologically speaking.

Let us get back to time. Now. The idea is current in academic psychologicalcircles that the child exists psychologically intact in the man, that the man contains within him the psychological replica of the child that was.

Now. The child does not stay in a neat psychological package, enclosed in the past and insulated from the present or the future. It is not as simple as all that.

(It was now time for the 32nd Dr. Instream test. As usual Jane sat quietly with her hands raised to her closed eyes. Her pace became quite slow, broken by many pauses of 15-30 seconds. She had been smoking earlier in the session but did not do so now. Resume at 10:10.)

Now. Give us a moment for our Instream material. (Pause.)

Now. We will shortly end our session.

The June event did refer to Ruburt’s swollen gums, which were very painful. He feared most strongly that he would have to visit Colucci, and went to the doctor rather than see the dentist—although Colucci was out in the yard, and Ruburt saw him, as he will now remember.

(Jane and I think this a most interesting bit of information. We also compare it with the number 12 data, wherein the numerals in the dentist’s address became scrambled with the idea of people in his waiting room. Only now, it appears, is Seth beginning to get this specific in his interpretation of test data.)

Now, they were wrong, but there was a connection here, in that Mr. Fell had recently had throat difficulties. Ruburt picked up the connection with the mouth, you see.
