“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There will be developments and friendships that will emerge that will directly concern our work in general, and help spread the material. Over a long period of time such contact will serve you well. One man in particular whom you have not yet met, will give Ruburt an idea for a book, through his questions, that will be most remarkable.

You are not to hide your heads in the sands. You will be asked to go out among men at times. This will also benefit your own personalities, which left alone could be far too solitary for your own overall stability and development.

I suggest that under the circumstances, this time Ruburt step aside and let Jim Crosson have his day. He needs it badly, and I have a note for Miss Taylor: it will hurt Jim Crosson badly if he does not have a part in the program. He needs to feel, particularly after retirement, that he is looked up to and needed, and can hold his own and attract an audience.

Ruburt will address the group in any case (pause), and many times in the future. Jim Crosson does not have that much time. (Pause.) Ruburt should make no future hard decisions as to what he will and will not do, but give the intuitive self freedom in such cases.

Again: Ruburt will address the group many times throughout the years, and so may I. (Humorously.) Ruburt and I together would need a full program.

The divorce was a distortion (pause), not of memory but of interpretation, representing a psychic separation that occurred between you, not in 1964 but later, when Ruburt became ill—and to some extent (underlined) you did hold him back, as you know from the work with the pendulum that you did. You were for that time divorced from each other in attitude, and lacked communication.

The dream was significant because for the first time he was actively seeking me as a guide, and met with those who were leaving physical reality in a group. In the next such dream he will find me of course, or I will find him.

The last episode merely represented his return to physical reality. He saw the two of you as Italian because this was the most earthy type he could think of. (Humorously.) Your image however was as you will be at one time in your future. The beard was legitimate—you were simply older.

(This last sentence as I recorded it is obviously distorted. As Jane spoke I had the odd feeling that she, Seth, and I were all thinking about different events. By this time I was quite weary. I could see that Jane was also.)
