“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt’s statements a few moments earlier, regarding his feelings, concerning his future, were and are important. What he accepted as a temporary condition he fears to be a permanent one—that is, the temporary positions. He expected more. Unfortunately he then projected a present situation into the future, which to some extent, resulted in a lack of mobility; the present conditions then seen as continuing indefinitely.

(“Not me. I mean it. What I want to know is whether you can help impress my own changed attitude upon Jane so that it helps her in daily life? The idea being that she has freedom, and so forth.”)

The hand symptoms also have to do with a feeling that he has not come to grips with reality. He wants the chance to do so in his own way, although he realizes his way may not, you see, pan out financially. He wants to try.

(9:40. Jane said that before the session she told Seth to blot her out, so that we would get undistorted material. She was aware of what she said as she said it. Resume in the same manner at 9:50.)

If I speak slowly it is simply because I am casting about in his mind for what I can find of help.

(“In what way?”)

(“That’s what I meant.”)

He has a need for mobility. What you call a normal job is confining to him because of his background, and stops up energy.

Have him buy what he likes to eat, particularly for a while, for he will eat better then. Encourage this.

(At break I asked that Seth say what he think of our recent idea that Jane show some book ideas to Don Wollheim, at Ace, as a means of mobility in her writing.)

And therefore a fear or distrust of what may be said in these sessions. It is for this reason that I have given him evidential material, you see, in other respects, so that he could see for himself.

This has been rather explained earlier this evening, and in previous sessions: Previous conditioning, and we explained why he became sensitized to this. The fear of spontaneity is what made him so passive in following suggestions of yours, to which he did not agree.
