“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is release also, you see, for the body consciousness, which as you know then changes to other forms. The exercises which Ruburt is barely beginning will be of great help in our work, and in the development of his abilities. They are also however excellent exercises that will result in the training so advantageous at the point of transition.

I will tell you this (pause, eyes open):Neither of you realize as yet the full extent of Ruburt’s inner change of mind, his commitment now to our work, the commitment of his abilities to these matters for his lifetime.

He does not as yet consciously know the extent of his changed attitude. His body knows. You and Ruburt both know subconsciously, and you have begun to sense the implications on a conscious level, but barely. All of this directly affects your own personal and joint—I will have to use the term for you —future, experience; both in this life and later.

This change will also attract more energy (pause), bring it forth from you Joseph (pointing at me).. And for you. Give us a moment with this. (Pause.) You will use more energy in helping to sustain Ruburt, but you will because of his new affirmation have more available. Enough in fact to show itself considerably in new impetus in your own work.

Ruburt was correct in his assumptions about your cat. All of this has to do with the nature of existence and personality, for your personality directly affects your plants. Personality can have a corrosive or soothing effect upon such unlikely things as the paint upon your walls. So smoothly and yet so constantly do these effects change as personalities come and go that your universe as it seems to you, seems to continue to exist.

Disease is not evil, for example. The murderer kills no one, yet if his intent is to do so then he must face the consequences of his intent. Crime after death is not punished. There is no crime to be punished, but between those last two statements lies a world of understanding, and knowledge that must be attained. And punishment enters in between those two statements as the individual takes the consequence for the action and the intent.

The child is not evil because he is not a man, and cannot be judged for his childishness. Value fulfillment is always working, yet there is between those two statements—you realize the ones to which I refer—the idea of judgment as an impetus and spur against the inner self’s knowledge of the growth that must come.

The main focus in his work will now begin to show itself. There was resistance against it in the past. It will involve this material. United with the unique nature of Ruburt’s own writing abilities.

They will be fully developed best, easiest, in dealing with this material and through his poetry. He set himself this main goal at a very young age. He did not know why he had the writing ability, nor what he was to do with it. He will work out the best way of doing this, for it will be a natural development, an alchemy, resulting from the nature of his own writing talents, which are considerable, his own intuitions, and the material. They will form a natural whole. They will combine to a natural art production and career.

His personality could not be wholly committed to something that left his writing abilities outside, dangling, you see.
