“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. There is some instability of elements this evening, having to do with a natural, overall change taking place in Ruburt—a beneficial one, I add hastily (humorously); but his system is in a state of change.

Now. Ruburt is always under my protection in his out-of-body experiments. There is nothing to prevent his seeing me on such occasions but his own attitude, as I have said before. He progresses at a natural rate however, at his own rate. He will not overdo, for in this his ego is an aid and it will see to it that over-exertion does not occur. When experiments fail this is usually the reason, and also the reason for the rhythmic effect.

For some time he has identified himself with the dream book, and projected his own problems upon it so that it bore the brunt, so to speak; and if it was a failure, then he was a failure and in very definite terms.

The identification no longer exists, and he realized today that his success is not dependent (underlined) upon the dream book for once and all, you see. He is no longer vulnerable in that manner. It was like his albatross around his neck, and it is no longer so.

It is an example of the way in which his abilities came to his aid, giving him inner assurances when they were most needed. He realizes that he is a creator of the book, not its prisoner, and he once thought that he was. He has stepped clear of it (pause), its fate no longer seen as his fate, regardless of what happens to the book.
