“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The book jacket is indeed one to be proud of, and the book will be a book to be proud of. There is a small matter I would like to clear up. There was no subconscious distortion on Ruburt’s part, when I told you that the nonphysical self book would sell. I am speaking of this instance only.

I knew that the book would be returned shortly, and this is the reason that I gave you this reassurance. In some other instances concerning the same kind of matters, some distortions did occur. These were not basically distorted passages, only partially so. I believe two poetry books will sell. One is the psychological book. Now, this is undistorted, and if this does not materialize, than I am wrong, not Ruburt, for once. Or probabilities enter in. Obviously Ruburt must send the books out, for example.

I would like to devote a little time this evening to a matter that concerns Ruburt rather deeply. You may or may not include this in your official records, as you prefer.

Now. Ruburt would not turn any destructive energy loose upon you, my dear friend, for he loves you too deeply. He is too mature now to turn such destructive energy inward in a strong manner, against his own organism. He would not willfully turn such energy loose even upon an animal.

Now. It has always been extremely difficult for him to defend himself physically. As a child he simply would not do so, and to make matters worse the mother taunted him for being a coward.

The cat therefore was allowed to chase our friend through the apartment. Beside the rather ordinary humiliation, there was the deep bewilderment, you see, for this was the first time, symbolically, that the parent could pursue physically. If it were not for these early connections Ruburt would not have been so panic-stricken.

As a rule you do not express these feelings in the area where they would normally be expressed, and you also use them as a basis for creative work. As such they are valuable. You are twice angry at Ruburt’s lack of aggressiveness in the business world, therefore.

Now I will leave you both, and I hope you will see that I have done you both a service, for this is my intention. The storm with Ruburt has passed, and you have both learned much because of it. It is a minor storm indeed, compared to what would have occurred some years earlier. He does not move furniture as erratically as he did, and is learning despite this to use his energies constructively.

The garden work is a help. It would be for you, had you the time. There are unfortunate connections with your father however, that might at first mitigate against your enjoyment, though old experience with the land would soon come back to you.

(“You were going to say something about the ESP book.” Jane recently received word from her publisher that the book would be off the press later in July.)

I have done the best I could (smile) for you, and were it not for the hour and your hand and the time involved for your records, I would speak to you longer. I… You may or may not take notes… I am with you rather strongly this evening, and I wish you both well. Regards from your dear old uncle Seth. (Smile.)
