“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause. Slow delivery here.) If he will maintain a daily work schedule—his need not be rigorous, but habitual—and if you will try to provide a warmly supportive role, as you have, then the situation can be largely remedied.

This is hardly unusual in such situations. Give us a moment. (Pause.) He distrusts the spontaneous which is so a part of his nature. As he worries occasionally about going too far when he is dancing, so he worries the same about the sessions—how far is spontaneity to be trusted, you see. Yet he must trust it, and when he does not do so the difficulties build.

The Prentice letter caused him to react with a burst of spontaneous pleasure. It was highly therapeutic in that regard, and swept before the spontaneity were symptoms and problems. The system cleansed itself. The personality appeared briefly as it should be. A day or so following, the clamps were again applied however, and the old situation returned.

Unfortunately the situation also involved your intimate lives. The intimate relationship added to Ruburt’s sense of safety. The regular writing recommendations given here will help also in that connection.

Personalities bent upon great endeavors often set themselves great problems. The problems are not meaningless. They are like examinations. (Long pause.) In Ruburt’s situation in the present, he is in your terms, freeing himself. He has just been through one of the most difficult problems that he set for himself.

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.

The situation when it is settled will result in perhaps the best possible one for both of you, from all standpoints, and such would not be possible had you taken a simpler way. The opportunity to use your abilities therefore is greater. The problems that you have encountered lead to inner recognition and understandings that add to the quality of your work, and actually improve the nature of the abilities themselves.
