“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt was quite too psychically upset to get clear access to me. Not a case of blocking necessarily here. A case of tumultuous activity that automatically clogged our communication, on quite key matters.

His father, in his old age, did have a job for others, as did Joe in his late years. In both cases, the jobs were considered marks of degradation. From the Irish side, a woman who worked for others, you see, was a domestic. There was, in the family history, always a struggle to work for oneself, this being a matter of class pride and independence.

All of these issues bear on Ruburt’s idea of a job. His money potential will be strengthened if these matters are highly considered. It is not a question of fearing to face reality financially. There is an effective and efficient way for him to do so, and he has been too frightened and panic-stricken to try it.

He is for that matter still frightened, and will need your support. If this were not the case he would have given notice for next year now. All of these have been involved with his writing, obviously. When he was enthused about its future, the secondary aspects of making additional cash did not critically concern him.

In periods of health this is greatly minimized. Cutting out the foods however will not cure a condition alone. The inner problems must be recognized and solved. Then the foods will no longer be a grave matter of concern.

It is a central material problem in your lives, and you have the equipment to solve it, and the opportunity. You, Joseph, will also be benefited here, and in ways you cannot now see. The matter should be given primary energy, concern and interest. I do not mean above Ruburt’s work, for example, but it will blend with it.

I will end our session. However we shall hold our regular Wednesday session to these same matters. For Ruburt’s benefit: He is being forced to solve his problem now, to find the solution for him. Had he been alone he would simply have been forced to solve it earlier.
