“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A few notes. (Pause.) Our friend Ruburt must be entirely committed (pause), in order to succeed, but once committed his success is assured.

He is now committed. His diverse abilities had to be gathered together and focused. The deepest needs and desires of the personality had to be aroused and deeply involved in an endeavor that would allow the personality to use its full strength in a focused and emotionally intense manner.

Only now does Ruburt see the consistency and how the path as he knew it brought forth the impetus that is now his present. I told him sessions ago that the poetic and psychic portions of his personality were deeply united, and now looking over his old records he knows that I was correct.

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.

(Here Seth refers to a painting I began yesterday, in line with approach two of the suggestions he gave me in the last, 456th session, I am following his suggestions and they are working well.)

(While moving about in the kitchen during break Jane got this within: “Ruburt is only now beginning to start upon his life’s work.” Sitting down a bit later she said: “I’m trying to get back in,” meaning trance, “but that music downstairs bothers me.” Resume finally at 9:48. )

You suggested that Ruburt put his records in one place for quite sound intuitive reasons. He could have read his old poetry over 50 times in the past two years, without realizing what he has finally realized now.

He spoke honestly when he said that he considered it intellectual suicide to accept even the possibility of personal survival of death. The conflict brought him to a point where he simply could go no further intellectually, for the intellect would not follow where the intuitions led. This caused him to think of our sessions in stereotyped ways, putting an either-or aspect to our relationship, and closing his mind to my own explanation of my existence.

He is quite free to question the basis of the sessions, and to question my own source. (Pause.) But he did not even do this with any true (underlined) logic, while he distrusted himself, or distrusted the intuitive and revelationary (underlined) aspect of the material. Now his intellect is accepting the revelationary aspect of the material, and the word appeared in his own writings about it for the first time. (Recently.) It is a highly evocative word to him, and even his intellect has always trusted revelationary knowledge as long as it was given to him through channels that were egotistically accepted. (Emphatic delivery.)

In our sessions I use, with Ruburt’s permission, his intellectual abilities also (pause), in an organized fashion. Poetry was far less (humorously) dependable. Now. Many of these reasons are the personality’s own reasons for (louder, abruptly) opening up the revelationary channels, and they would be legitimate regardless of the nature of my existence.

Were I only his personality’s method of gaining revelationary knowledge (pause), then he should be content with that, recognizing his need of me in that endeavor. I am however far more. Now there is a need on my part also. Any personality has a psychological makeup, whether or not they are equipped with physical form, and I am a teacher.
