“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We will begin with Ruburt. His past indispositions, from an overall viewpoint, have been most necessary and beneficial. You cannot afford to keep knowledge at an intellectual level, and not use it practically, for when you do so it is useless to you. His indispositions taught him this is a way that he will not forget. His inner and unthinking reactions literally immobilized him.

This immobilization was in itself a lesson, and he has learned it. He conquered mentally and emotionally, and therefore he conquered finally in physical terms. The immobile foot was a direct translation of the following: “I am exhausted and I will go no further at this point.” The exhaustion was a natural result of his own reactions. He is fond of saying that if you cannot control events, you can control your reactions. He did not do so well here, however, and he is considering only a half-truth in the above statement.

It was your reactions that should have been changed, as it was Ruburt’s reactions concerning his book that should have been changed. His attitude toward his book and publisher largely were responsible for the delays.

Now Ruburt utilized his abilities in helping you, but he did not mobilize them with any vigor in helping himself, until panic drove him to do so.

I have told you that his book will sell well—very well, and so it shall.

Ruburt should wash his dust mop.

I believe moving the refrigerator out to clean. The weight was poorly distributed. It is now on the mend, and he should experience no further difficulties. He should automatically now give himself the suggestions mentioned in this session, before he reads a letter from his mother. This alone will save him from many indispositions. Your cat should be inoculated. There is no great danger here, but since you know he is not inoculated, it should be done. Do you have any questions?

My heartiest regards. And to Ruburt my congratulations on his book.
