“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause, eyes closed.) Within certain obvious limits, you will receive the same basic material whether or not you attempt to limit or specify the subject matter of sessions or not.

If he does this to the best of his ability, he will consider his excerpts from two standpoints—what to say, and how I say it, so that the personality and the material are clearly shown together. It will make it lively. (Long pause.) The personality is action, and as I have shown myself to you in sessions, this has added to the action of the sessions.

It does not matter that I am a part of more. What I am as you have known me is legitimate. I go beyond the apparent boundaries of that self by which you have known me, but it is that self that could communicate with you before you could know anymore about my reality or understand that I might be more. (Pause.)

Knowledge does not exist independently of the one who knows. Someone gave Cayce the material. It did not come out of thin air. It came from an excellent source, a pyramid gestalt personality, with definite characteristics, but the alien nature of the personality was too startling to Cayce, and he could not perceive it. (Pause.) I am giving you the material through a personality that you can understand; one that is mine, one of my favorite selves. (Smile.) In this way the point is made so that it is clear.

Now in many ways this applies to Ruburt also. The two of you seek refreshment together, then plunge into your inner realities. He is more emotionally attuned than you, in that it is easier for him, when coming out of his private world, to rush toward you with spontaneity. You are both equally dependent however, basically, on this necessary emotional refreshment. You both drink it in, and it sustains you for some period. It is used in your work, and in your joint work. It forms an inner framework of which you are sometimes aware. (Smile.) Without your feeling toward Ruburt and the resulting urge to emotionally actualize yourself to another personality, your background could have prevented even artistic development. (Pause.) Rather than serve as a springboard for creativity.

He will feel rejected, as you know (pause), and this can lead to resentment. If your periods are not synchronized, these periods of which I have spoken, and you are not ready for this emotional actualization, and he is, then there can be also resentment of your part. (Pause.) The periods eventually synchronize and you should both attempt to realize the feelings of the other at such times.

(Smile. One minute pause, eyes closed.)

One other point. (To me:) Now, you sought solitude. You wanted to be alone, amid your family. (Still in trance, Jane got up and walked into the kitchen, looking for a cigarette. Long pause.) The family had its severe disadvantages, but you were certain of its framework, which was to some extent at least, supportive.

Ruburt in this life also was alone, without that supportive framework. (Pause.) The framework about him as a child was not supportive, but threatening. Therefore he is very aware of your partnership with him.

In times of stress he looks to it for support. (One minute pause.)

We have covered now what I had in mind, and I will leave you. (Pause.
