“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(9:25. Jane seemed to leave trance quickly, yet as it developed she did not really do so. She was quite sleepy at break, and said Seth was “putting her under” in order to talk about the thought-form and projection experience of last night with the least amount of distortion. Jane of course has a full account of the experience written down in her own records.

Our friend attempted to choose a different battleground last evening. He decided to think of his symptoms as an enemy, and to give them form in another plane of reality where he could do battle with them. Now this was not an astral plane, but a lower one.

The thing was actually then a rather clumsy lower-dimensional animal, a provoked dumb dog of other dimensions who then attacked him symbolically enough, by biting. Any “thing” in quotes so created entirely of fears, would be frightened, and particularly angry at its creator, and it could do nothing else but attack; in one way to protect what reality it had, for it knew Ruburt created it only to slay it if possible.

He attempted to separate from himself all those elements he considers negative, and fight them at once, almost as if in doing so he removed or could remove evil from the universe. This was the result of his tendency to regard reality in terms of absolute (underlined) values.

The words: “May peace be with you,” will get him through any difficulty in other layers of reality, for as he formed that image others also form images, and he could encounter them on occasion. To wish them peace will be to give them some comfort, for they do have a kind of reality. To fear them is to put yourself into their realm of reality, and then you are forced to fight on those terms, and there is no need for this.

(Pause.) The man had a connection with Poughkeepsie (NY). I am not certain here. It was a man Ruburt knew in the past, and considered evil. This had something to do with his reaction, therefore. Do you follow me?

Now. Do you have questions?

His intellect will then begin to take over. When you say nothing he uses this as an excuse, thinking: “Rob has said nothing, therefore he must agree with what I am doing.”

I have mentioned before that the two of you have been highly involved in the past, and that your combined efforts aid in the sessions. You do not have to feel that you have forced Ruburt where he does not want to go, even inadvertently. He does need and thrive upon your support. Without it he would have chosen other pathways perhaps, but they would not have been as beneficial nor as helpful to both of your developments.

He feels a new freedom, realizing, because he can be such a knucklehead, though a beloved one, now that he has freedom to do as he desires, to hold sessions or not to hold them. Because he does at times use you as an authority figure, he did have a tendency to think that he must have sessions because you wanted them.

You are handling much more than most people however. Do you have questions on this?

As far as the information concerning Ruburt’s symptoms, I have this to say. (See page 272 of the 470th session, March 26, 1969.) He must be open about them, and they will vanish. I do not mean (be) pessimistic about them. When he attempts to hide them from you he builds up the mood that they so dismay you. He takes an aspirin behind your back as if he were a secret alcoholic because he fears that you would be annoyed. Then this builds up within him the feeling that he is alone, and the mood builds up to which you then react.

Now do you have questions?
