“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The life that you two personally have, has been brought about through trust and expectation. Your artistic endeavors are the result of trust and expectation. Now, only a comparative few operate in such a manner that their entire lives, in all areas, bring about the results they think they are after. The danger is in concentrating upon the lacks, the “sore spots,” building up greater concentrations of mistrust. In very important issues, both you and Ruburt are in excellent health. In every important manner, you personally are in the best of health.

So is Ruburt in all areas, except that one upon which he has concentrated negatively, and given up trust. I want you to realize that in very important ways, and even in the health area, you are both successful.

Later, with certain issues that arose between you, fairly well understood now, I think, he felt his womanly qualities a threat to you both, and the habit of mistrust became manifested in a suspension of monthly periods. We will give you some suggestions on this when I am finished.

Up to now you both have been playing the illness game strongly, in your imagination both creating symptoms, imprisoning Ruburt within them in the present, seeing them in the future, and examining future events in the light of present symptoms.

One wrong or bad apple, you feel, can rot the whole basket. When your idea of artistic vision is concerned then, each detail is of utmost importance to you. Details represent steps to truth, to you, in those areas. Other parts of you realize quite will the importance for example of inspiration, in which the steps or details do not appear in logical terms, so you allow both aspects to balance themselves.

He wants to be a healthy present self, not a healthy past self. A good deal of the weight problem is not a problem. You have both to some extent overexaggerated it. He can use more weight. The energy used in worrying about the condition has taken up the small leeway that would have given him weight. In the best of health he will not be a heavy person, for example.

If the “as if” game is played correctly the dressing habits will change automatically, again without stress. Ruburt fears humiliation. Acting as if he were perfectly healthy, such imagined humiliation would not be automatically projected. This is one area where both of you will have to watch, contrasting the game against immediate physical data.

It shows however a lack of freedom in a pivotal situation. I said pivotal because the dressing brings together both the idea of mobility and womanliness—both past areas of mistrust. The sexual area also combines both the lack of mobility and the womanly aspects, so freedom and the “as if” game in these areas is doubly important and vital.

Now. This release on Ruburt’s part will also release you both in other areas that have been inhibited. Open expressions of warmth are extremely important, on both of your parts in your daily life, and are also connected with your creativity as well as your health. This applies to you and to everyone.

An overconcentration in those areas helps bring about those conditions in your own experience. There are great parallel existences now occurring, always occurring, all taking place within the area of physical activity. To some men there is no good. The world is not to be trusted, and their experience proves it. Others dwell in a world that is filled with all kinds of abundance. Both worlds are real, both are created by those who experience them. You know that robbers exist. You do not dwell on the matter however; it hardly overbalances your greater feelings of trust, and so while granting that thieves live, you go unbothered.

—when you were in Rome, and did not know Sue. There was no great connection with you, except that you visited her once, and the two of you were both involved in what you may call the in quotes “mystery” religions. You were seeped in such lore, having been born in Greece rather than in Rome. Ruburt acted as an oracle, and you consulted her at one time.
