“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is like Ruburt keeping the bird alive, you see. (Last summer, Jane found an injured bird, and for several days tried to make it live.) When the personality understands, it can indeed then will itself to leave the body in an aware state, and as it goes bless the body consciousness who has served it so well, release the tiny birdlike awareness within each cell, and go on to its own transition.

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.

Now you may take a break. One point: Ruburt’s whole personality did indeed protect itself, for unless it were integrated and fully committed it would not have the energy to sustain the activities with which it will now be involved.

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.

Ruburt is now, you see, again taking joy in physical motion. This is because the spirit is regaining its joy. The earlier resistance against exercise was quite understandable, for it was a symptom of the inner resistance.

Your point earlier is a good one. You have experience in concentration in regard to your paintings, but Ruburt has not been used to concentrating in that manner. The practice in bringing images into clear focus will help him do the same with inner information of a specific nature. Have you any questions?

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.
