“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

His abilities are considerable in the healing line, and again for this reason it is extremely important that he is understanding of himself as well as others. His ego is (underlined) a kind one, but the structure of any ego is such that it considers, or can consider easily, psychic ability as a sign of its own power; or feel possessive of the ability, and overly proud of it, even when it knows it originates in other layers of the self. We want our friend to have a strong and healthy overall personality balance, for this will allow him to use his abilities well, and then the abilities themselves will further add to his own development.

Now. Our friend (Tam) is in contact with another layer of his personality, and as I told him over the infernal machine (a humorous reference to the telephone), a dependable layer. This is an advancement.

I would like him to keep Ruburt informed. I do not suggest that he do such writing (automatic writing) more than twice a week for now at the most, however. Ability always demands responsibility. I know that he knows this, and I do indeed commend him. I do not want his abilities to run away with him however.

I do not mean to speak as if there were any great danger involved. It is only that I want him to progress at a steady rate, with the overall personality in good balance all the while. The personality must learn to understand and use the abilities.

We will close the session. Ruburt is doing well with the book. I did communicate with him last evening, though he did not remember.
