“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The process could or could not have developed, according to the probabilities and the circumstances. Even the early environment, so abhorred by the ego, were chosen in order to deepen the desire for truth and to force the personality to face the issues of life and death, evil and goodness, full face. Ruburt’s ego would have avoided the questions and taken the easy road, and this easy road would not have developed the full potentials that were necessary if the personality were to use its creative and intuitional abilities in any important manner.

Instead Ruburt is involved in our endeavor, and his daily life entwined in the search that fiction cannot approach. This endeavor, involving you both so deeply, all also lead you toward the full development of your own abilities. Both of you must be fully committed, for your personalities have been formed in that direction.

Until then the ego and the intuitive self had not come into conflict, as far as basic philosophy was concerned. The intuitive self presented the ego however with a new line of development that it was not prepared to follow.

The ego did not see the consistency. It did not see that then previous questions that it had set, that it had asked, led inevitably to intuitive answers and to psychic experience, and for some time it refused to see this, in quotes “quite logical” consistency. For the psychic development made logical sense as well.

It is far more permissive, while still retaining its dominance in those areas that are its natural ground. It also realizes the experiences open to it that would otherwise be unavailable, and it can now itself grow in understanding and development, and as a willing and able protector, but not a jealous one.

One small note. I believe there will be extra freedom in out-of-body experiences for Ruburt. Tell him not to be frightened at any new developments in that area. I will be there whether he knows it or not. No, there are not any phantoms out there, Ruburt. It will simply be a new environment. You will return safely. A friend wants to meet you. My friend. A long trip in a brief time. You will be protected all the way. I would hold your hand, but that would probably frighten you more than anything else. Be assured, it will be a safe trip.
