“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. For our friend Ruburt (pause; smile; eyes open), in simple terms now. He should know that the Jane self, the Jane personality, is not divided into highly specialized though effective units, as he has been wondering.

Fodor’s idea is that personalities loosely in the same category as myself are indeed legitimate. He nicely concludes that we have a right to existence, and even possess a certain consciousness. However, he believed that we were divergent portions of a medium’s consciousness, that had gained relative independence.

Now the same is true of Ruburt. I have always addressed Jane as Ruburt, as you know. Therefore the emergence of Ruburt confused Jane. Quite without knowing, Jane has always been aware of Ruburt’s existence. Now again, Ruburt is not part of Jane’s personality, in your terms, nor did he emerge from it.

He is temperamentally closer to physical existence. (Long pause.) He is very at home with Jane, you see. Since I mentioned self 2, and again remember this is an analogy—self 2 has embarked upon a completely different adventure, in a different direction in another system.

(See the 443rd session.) Rather naturally he placed emotional connotations, or superimposed these upon the experience. He will not have such difficulties as he learns. There was obviously no intent to discomfort him, and it was Jane who became alarmed.

Other concepts, as vividly felt you see, might not have, bothered him, or he might have found them extremely supportive. His own abilities were at a high level. The circumstances were relatively good, though somewhat unstable; a period of three days was particularly beneficial however, which is why it appeared that so much was happening at once.

(10:20. Jane again left trance fairly quickly. She said she knew what blocking Seth was referring to; she felt herself “come up” just before break. The material Seth wanted to discuss was about Jane and Ruburt and Jane’s writing. Jane believed it was an extension of the arrangement Seth mentioned briefly on page 124, when he talked about Jane accepting inspiration and ideas from Ruburt without realizing it.

I am telling Jane therefore that the channel is open for creative inspiration from Ruburt, and the channel is clear. Ruburt can also be counted upon when it is advantageous to interpret my material, though he could not himself originate it.

(In a letter dated Oct. 23 Tam Mossman wrote us that Hans Holzer would consider doing the introduction for the Seth Material, provided he was listed as co-author. This was quite unexpected by us, and the offer was turned down. We had known Mossman might ask Holzer to do an intro, but Holzer’s demand to co-author the book was not suspected by us.

He was able to utilize unusually strong amounts of energy in our work of late, and will find his energy even more abundant and dependable in his writing, our work, and normal living. And now again good evening. I have tried to clear up several points for you.
