“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. Ruburt is obviously afraid that he will have not only his own negative tendencies to contend with, but yours as well.

Now do not look down upon the importance of personal encounters, or the effect of personality. Ruburt’s personality shows in his writings and his individual interpretations; your personalities should always be considered as assets. To some extent they have also been affected by the material, and to that extent they are testaments of it.

Now. You will be making contacts with the world at large. These will be part of your work, and they will add depth to your work, not detract from it, as long as they are kept in their proper perspective. Overemphasized, they could be detrimental, but if you fear them you are also giving them undue importance. They will also serve you as supportive, particularly in later years.

Your own personality, Joseph, has a beneficial effect upon others. You speak well for the material. You are not afraid of meeting people. You are afraid of the idea of meeting people. Now give us a moment.

You know very well what you are doing, in other words. The material is to be a force in your world. (Pause.) You are not to avoid contact, and to do us full justice this would be impossible. Now give us a moment.

Now. Give us a moment. As mentioned earlier, Ruburt must come to his own decision. I have a suggestion, however.

He will not make a practice of contacting the departed for their relatives. It is not his forte. Otherwise he should leave himself open. If probabilities continue as they are now, there will be some considerable relationship with the group Miss Taylor represents through the years. It will work to Ruburt’s benefit as he meets other psychics with excellent abilities. He can also learn from the experience.

Separate now. Mana or Marta (spelled), a name.

Now. Ruburt will meet (Arthur) Ford, and they will have much to say to each other. (AF being very well-known for his psychic abilities.)

Now, do you have any questions or remarks?

Now. The material itself will progress, with your assistance, along several lines. The out-of-body experiences will be a portion of your subjective training. My comments in sessions about these experiences will add up in their own manner.

The material has several layers, as you should see by now. There is not just one line of development, but many—all under one direction however, and for one purpose.

Now. I will merely clear up a few of the most important points.

This was the knowledge that the woman had of Ruburt’s past life. Ruburt interpreted it in literal terms as a divorce. Now give me a moment. (Pause.) This obviously was the second dream.

Now that I know that Ruburt is actively ready, I will be more close by. Your first dream will come when you are ready, as Ruburt’s did. Do you have questions?

(11:15. I explained my dream to Jane so she would have a basis for discussion, since we planned now to ask Seth to explain his above data in relation to the dream. Some of it could apply; I did not understand the reference to bed and bedroom however. I didn’t recall my brother Dick in the dream. Jane said she was too tired to clear the matter up this evening, so we’ll take it up next session.)
