“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. (Pause.) Ruburt has only now begun to take those necessary steps that lead to total commitment. His personality is so constructed that he cannot give time, without conflict, to any matter to which he is not totally committed, or to any matter about which he has any serious doubt.

Now surely to our friend Philip, Ruburt has certainly appeared committed enough to our ventures. He has not been totally committed, however, and as you know, wholeheartedly accepted my august presence. (Smile.)

Finally however he has been led toward a greater acceptance. His doubts have held back the overall quality of our material, since I was not often allowed to come through completely enough.

These are in the process of vanishing, but the lingering nature has expressed indeed his lingering doubts. Of late he has to some extent freed himself. He has taken definite steps, and made positive gestures that he would not have made in the past.

The seance affair (last session) frightened the ego to some extent. As a whole personality now, Ruburt has found himself operating at prime efficiency in several late incidents, when the ego and intuitive self have worked in harmony. This is a promise of what he can expect with growing regularity.

(10:47. John said that nothing in the impressions meant anything to him; he could see no connections—so much so, he said, that as Seth gave the impressions John wondered if they were really directed to him. Since the data was remarkably consistent in that none of it applied to John, Jane and I began to wonder if it was not displaced from someone else.)

(Last evening Jane had spoken on parapsychology to a group of 18 members of a Methodist church group. Among them had been the minister of the congregation, and he had made an impression upon Jane.)

It is unfortunate that the displacement in material occurred. Perhaps Ruburt can check some of this out, with what her student knows of the man’s background. I also believe he has another child from his past. We will now end the session. I believe, in fact, that Ruburt’s student will be able to collaborate some of that material.
