“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The emotional basis does not limit the quality or extent of the. material, but adds to it. The information is carried along in the emotional stream. If there are small side-streams now and then, they always return to the larger one. If a few bits of debris go sailing merrily down the stream (humorously), the answer is not to cut off the stream but to recognize the difference between what the stream carries.

The debris, in any case, is only such by comparison. Small bits perhaps disconnected from larger patterns. They will fall into place—a bend in the stream (smile) and disconnected patterns will meet again. The stream has its own reality then, and the ego sees only the surface.

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.)

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.

In other words the repressed emotionalism will only carry you so far before you need to be refreshed in Ruburt’s reality; and through approaching his reality you also gain, in a different manner than you usually know it, refreshment from the natural world.

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.)

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.)

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