“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is too closed a system. Now astrology has its merits, and many good ones. An excellent astrologist can help people to better understand themselves. Understand that individuals themselves between lives choose the time of their own birth, adopting ahead of time those characteristics that they feel will best aid their development, and challenge their abilities.

Ruburt could involve himself however needlessly. His abilities will follow a different line entirely, though there is no harm in his study. The difficulty would lie in the drain upon his time, for people would want readings: and again, look for miracles rather than self-understanding and self-development.

He attempted to destroy the animal of evil, and it bit him back. Now evil does not exist in those terms, and even illness or fear is not necessarily an enemy, as much as an aid to understanding and the means to a greater end.

Even his desolations, of which I know, lead him to continue a search for understanding, and serve as an impetus to further development. You should try to help him understand them in that light.

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.

You have chosen to divert and use tremendous charges of energy in your final reincarnations, and your own art will make its way for this reason. (To me.) What seems to you as inner difficulties or problems, or lack of success, like Ruburt’s desolations, serve as the very impetus to development.
