“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is nothing to my knowledge of a new nature. He is in need of your emotional support, and active proclamations of love and affection. More than ordinarily, in need of your reassurances emotionally.

You have indeed. Active emotional warmth and its manifestations on your part will now hasten complete recovery immeasurably. Such measures alone can make up for any mistakes you see that might be made. Without them no other correct measures are enough. He does not need, nor want, to smother you emotionally. He fears that you fear this.

This is a last-ditch escape so to speak, but dangerous because its signs are not obvious. “Well, all right, I will close you out then.” This is the emotional feeling behind it. Such a recourse, again, is only a desperate final one, but with his stubbornness it would be very final, and a means of self-defense.

If he feels this is withdrawn his secure confidence is shattered and his energy dwindles. In his case however there is no danger that you would be emotionally smothered, for he has also this love of work and isolation, and feeling for his and your independence.

(“Have I been concerned about this emotional smothering bit?”)

He has been afraid that you felt this way, and has perhaps exaggerated this. But it is a point with you also. This is a result of the connection between emotionalism and your mother. (One minute pause.)

Without each other, your possibilities for fulfillment would have been far less. He knew you were less emotionally demonstrative than he, and more or less accepted this, knowing that underneath was a foundation upon which he could rely. It was this foundation he lost faith in, that so frightened him.

You, incidentally, can use this sense of loyalty, for you did not receive it in the past in this existence. It brings out the best in you and in your work, and represents a rich emotional loam that you need to draw out certain elements of your own personality. On Ruburt’s part it is the main tie with the physical universe. A strong statement. But secure in it, you both are free to reach into other existences. Without it you would not be tied securely enough to this earth. There is an interaction, naturally. The loyalty is there but you bring it out and it serves you both therefore. Without you, literally, Ruburt in this physical life would not be able to express nor free it. Do you have questions?
