“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 9:30 Jane said: “I feel real odd. I’ve got a lot of energy. I feel it all around me. I feel Seth around too but he hasn’t come through yet. I was very tired a few minutes ago, doing that filing...”

Now. I have several opening remarks. Ruburt is more relieved than he realizes, because he realizes that the book meets with Aerofranz’s (Tam Mossman’s) approval; but more, because he knows he has done a good job. He was not sure until lately. You follow the reasons why.

His change in attitude and performance in your personal areas, is a sign of this. You have also been of great help. Now I suggest that you playfully encourage him to increased motion. He is now aware for the first time clearly, of certain areas of rigidity, and realizes the fear behind them. Some of this is simply that he is afraid of pain if a muscle is suddenly let go. He knows this, but with your encouragement, active but playful, you can accomplish very much here. The body is quite ready to comply now, and he is mentally ready. It is a matter of taking advantage of the opportunity and good conditions.

Some of this has already taken place on its own in the past month (as Jane has noticed), but I thought it better not to mention this, and I believe I was correct. Barriers are broken down you see without any conscious direction applied. Now it is quite all right.

Also, as you have been, but even more actively, gently encourage him to express his feelings. He had begun to do this, but your encouragement means much to him along this line, as he still looks to see whether you approve or disapprove. In any given case let him for example know if you disagree with what he is saying, while still encouraging him to say it.

Now Ruburt’s energies are being released, and once this process begins, as it has, then all the inner improvement will seem to appear at once, though they are the results of several months. The psychic work will pick up, and indeed already has. The desire shown in your personal life on Ruburt’s part is very important. Ruburt should tell himself now that all other tensions can leave through his fingertips, not back up there you see but go completely outward. It will help if he imagines tension streaming outward through the fingertips. His idea to have long hair (smile) at this particular point is beneficial, for it means to him the luxury of both sexuality and sense, sensual extravagance. These qualities directly in opposition to the overly restrictive, puritan rigidities that he was in the past heir to.

(While Jane and I were on vacation in Florida in July, I rather severely sunburned my feet; I had trouble walking for several days, but was able to drive home on schedule. The episode took place while we were staying with Jane’s father and his wife in Daytona Beach. I thought it most peculiar that only my feet burned when the rest of my body was equally exposed. I also gave suggestion on my part credit for saving, in the nick of time, what could have been a much more stringent situation, possibly averting disablement.)

Give us a moment. You felt that the situation was too hot to handle. You were afraid of getting burned. You were even frightened enough lest you lose your own footing in the psychic atmosphere. You wanted to leave but felt it best that you stay, since Ruburt sees his father so infrequently.

It helps form the new individual, and then it must withdraw. The new self unit must be free and not hampered by the demands that could otherwise be put upon it. The new individual has a deeply buried memory of its past lives, but the personal consciousness of the last reincarnated self must not be superimposed upon this new identity. The new personality, in its small astral body, does visit with other portions of the entire identity. It is even given lessons of a kind, but it is very much its own self.
