“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt can do the book he now has in mind, of the outline given. It will serve as an introduction, and from it various complimentary books will flow.

In other words, the inclusion of my personality characteristics with the material will take away any long-white-gowned spiritualistic connotations, and put the survival personality thesis in a more proper light. As any good writer should know, tell Ruburt he need not explain my characteristics; simply include excerpts that show them.

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.

My personality is what makes the material unique, for it is information sifted through an individual that is unique from all others. Ruburt therefore should not attempt to disentangle the material from my personal characteristics. It is perfectly proper, beneficial and legitimate for him to make any intellectual investigations he chooses, concerning differences in perception in our sessions, and when he is psychically involved on his own, and all other, intuitive or intellectual studies of this sort he has in mind. But he should not present my ideas as if they come from thin air, for this is to rob the material.

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.

Ruburt’s emotional demands are a spur to your own development. Your resistance is a spur to his development. His need of you on the other hand also keeps him from plunging, as he did in his past life, too deeply and emotionally into other realities without the brakes that the intellect usually applies. (Amused.)

If the emotional actualization and refreshment is withdrawn for too long, he obviously will show the first signs of difficulty. You will also feel them, but he will be instantly aware of them, and show them.

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.

Now, I have given you what you wanted, and some information that I thought you needed, and I will end the session: like Old King Cole, a merry old soul was he. (Smile, emphatic.)

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 the beginning he was terrified lest it be taken away.

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