“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. Ruburt must indeed prime the pump, as they say.

Now, he is not afraid of me. He is afraid of the unknown. He is afraid of giving fully his abilities and commitment to what he does not thoroughly comprehend. There is an old religious hangover here from the Catholic background. Give us a moment.

Now in the past he felt that you also did not trust his spontaneity. The spontaneity has its own strength that will sustain him if he lets it. Your early (underlined) concern over spontaneous sessions frightened him.

(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.)

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.

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.

Now. My dear Joseph and Ruburt…

Now, you may take your break or end the session, or ask questions if you prefer.

(Since February Jane has had a series of dreams and psy-time experiences involving her dream book, which is now at Parker. All of the experiences have been correct to date. She showed me a three-page typewritten account of them today. The latest, on July 5, revealed the dream book as published.

(Jane, as Seth, smiled, eyes closed.) Now. The personality stresses and strains. The personal problems here have led to an increase of spontaneity in the dream state, and to added evidence of clairvoyance. The spontaneous portions of the self have come to the aid of other portions. The nervous reactions have actually resulted in more specific and detailed use of clairvoyance.
