“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The daily working methods allow for the natural and periodic use and release of both aspects of the personality. The overcensuring, when it appears, shows itself, of course, in all spontaneous areas of his life—physical, psychic, creative and spiritual.

(Pause.) Now, the fear is for safety. The assurances, the words that I have given you, will help here. The fear is exaggerated and needless. It is partially the result of experiences in this life, and of experiences in the last life. (Long pause.)

Earlier the symptoms themselves masked the lack of spontaneity in writing. Now the symptoms are not so pronounced and the other problem, which was there, shows. His mother, for all her emotionalism, stressed intellectual control, contrasting it with the father’s lack of control. Ruburt is at the tail end of these inner problems that have been there in this life since childhood.

The quality of the challenges is often an indication of the heights that are possible. In the early background of each individual, in each life, you will find the material for development. The development to be based upon problems overcome and challenges accepted and conquered.

This also applies to yourself. It often applies to those whose abilities, in your terms, come to fruition later rather than earlier in life. (Pause.) It is not a point of how much better it would be had the abilities matured earlier. The abilities, of whatever power or strength, are a part of you; they are not something objective that you possess. Nor can you compare them to the abilities of others.

You could have chosen not to develop these latent abilities at all. You could have developed other latent abilities in their stead. You settled upon your particular life situation with certain problems and challenges in mind. In helping Ruburt free and use his own strong spontaneous nature, you also free your own spontaneous self. That particular problem then is also a challenge and a way of development for you both.
