“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.” Seth’s entity name for Jane is Ruburt—he, him, his.)

The gestures you are making are important not only for their innate benefits. They are a vital means of showing your intent to other portions of the self. One small note here: at those times when Ruburt wears sweaters to bed, you see, they serve as reminders of his mother’s bed jackets. This was the main reason for his difficulty regarding the arms last night in bed.

Affection on your part, Joseph, is as you know very highly effective, giving all the portions of Ruburt’s personality simultaneous support. This and warm companionship. Spontaneity should be encouraged whenever possible in your daily activities, while still the overall stable conditions are maintained. You understand me here?

You have been doing well with the pendulum, and the exercise has successively opened up communication with deeper layers of the self. An hypnotic session would be helpful, but only when you feel confident. A point here involving Ruburt’s hands and his mother’s sweaters: he knew that knitting was a therapeutic measure suggested in the past to exercise his mother’s hands. When he became sensitized to the sweaters, then he had difficulty with his own hands, you see.

The answers here are reliable, generally speaking. Underline the generally. You are reaching deeper layers of the personality as you progress with the pendulum. Ruburt could put himself in a light trance state before a session, and you could ask the questions while he holds the pendulum.

Spontaneous talking out on Ruburt’s part for this particular incident or times, to elicit the full release of pent-up emotions that lay behind the uncovering, you see. In some such instances, proper suggestions will help. This is excellent therapy incidentally, for the release of the emotions automatically releases the symptoms. A discharge of this type is required when unpleasant material of an emotional kind is uncovered through the pendulum.

In this particular instance there is no overriding past-life data that is important in context with Ruburt’s condition, except the overall personality patterns that existed.

We will shortly end this session. I intend to go into past-life experiences rather extensively, but in another context. The main problems with Ruburt exist as given, and when these are cleared then we will have clear access to our other material, that is, the past-life data.

He is growing out of this, however. This is sufficient for this evening. Let Ruburt read over these last sessions closely, and the house-cleaning procedures should be carried out when it is practical. My fondest wishes, unless you have further questions.
