“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A one minute pause.) We have mentioned this earlier. In his mind religion was connected with self-mortification. On the one hand it set itself against spontaneity. The organized church feared it. On the other hand Ruburt was spontaneously religious.

Now he was told under emotionally charged conditions, as you know, by his mother, that he could or would lose his mind. He tied this in with any strong spontaneous actions on his part, regardless of their nature. An example: once he found it thrilling to ride in an automobile at fast speeds. Now they frighten him. But to him any spontaneity carried the same danger that, say, speeding definitely does.

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.
