“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He has indeed learned, the hard way, lessons that he had to learn if he were to further develop. And yet these lessons all in all were self-given, and he is actually lucky, for they could have been far more difficult and the fruits of stubbornness could have been more bitter.

The emergence of these psychic abilities was indeed resented by his ego, and initiated a necessary overhaul of personality, against which it protested. Ruburt will be more his natural and uninhibited intuitional self now. The ego had simply overgrown its bounds.

Remember, the normal consciousness is not synonymous with the ego. The ego is only a portion of consciousness. For Ruburt’s benefit yes, indeed, the cure is permanent, as long as he utilizes what he has learned, and it seems fairly certain that he will.

The impending death also brought forth associations concerning Saratoga, you see. Miss Price was to some extent a substitute mother image indeed, and a rather dangerous one potentially, in any case, because of the confusion in sex identity. (Saratoga Springs, NY, is Jane’s hometown.)

My heartiest wishes to you both, and my assurances to Ruburt that he is indeed out of the black woods.
