“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A connection now, separate from the merge, with a shoe, a man’s shoe (pause), or a slipper. This is our object. The color of it is brown, but very dark, so that it appears almost to be black. (Pause.) It is his own (pause), and he concentrates upon it.

The shoes were purchased on a rainy day. I think of April but am not sure. He drove, or rather was driven, and did not walk there, and he had an appointment immediately after.

Ruburt’s ego now contains elements that did not at one time belong to it. It contains portions of the self that are—I hesitate, you see, to say superior, for he is not to get conceited—but portions of the self that contain more abilities than those usually held by the ego.

The abundance of energy met no resistance therefore, and was immediately focused and disciplined according to the desire that he expressed. This is simply a fact. He is simply learning. And he has much more to learn.

This is meant indeed to encourage you. It is not meant in any way to give Ruburt the idea that he is superior to anyone else. You both have the responsibility to use all of your abilities, and this is perhaps the one thing that is required of you.

I should be quite disappointed if you were not showing improvement. Your own psychic improvement, Joseph, is marked. Ruburt, with this book before him as an example, should know that he can now expect more of himself, and should not be satisfied with less. You are both becoming therefore more responsible as a result of your successes.

The suggestion was given that he have an abundance of energy, and that he would focus and discipline the energy so that he could use it in his writing and in his psychic work. The hows and wherefores and the ultimate product were left to the inner self.
