“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The overconscientious self is also extremely powerful, driven by remarkable amounts of energy. When both portions of the personality are in agreement, then Ruburt’s personality is literally overwhelming, filled with vitality and unbeatable.

The overconscientious self is protecting the whole personality against what it considered evil. It can be reeducated. (Pause.) There is a cleavage apparent in Ruburt’s distaste of the word God, for example.

The autobiographical material produced as novels by Ruburt were also helpful as safety valves. (Pause.) An integration is already beginning to take place, however, since last evening’s session.

Ruburt’s spontaneous self should not push. Relief will be more immediate if a persistent, soft-sell line is used.

I will myself attempt to communicate with Father Ryan, who is now much less rigid than he was, and this may help. He can himself communicate to Ruburt through his dreams, and clear up many confused issues. Father Traynor will also be of assistance to us, I am sure.

Now. You see Ruburt has accepted you as an extension of the super-conscientious self, and your word was added to the taboos already set up. Therefore a mystical import, a magical import, was given to your every word.

When your words disagreed with his spontaneous self severe conflicts arose. This is important. You were through your art however also connected to his spontaneous self. Originally you saw Ruburt as the spontaneous self, and your ideas of discipline were quickly gobbled up by the overly conscientious self before you recognized its existence.

Ruburt has wanted you to rub him for the sake of physical contact and reassurance, this being more than acceptable to both portions. He was made to feel unworthy and unwanted by his mother, and it was the spontaneous self who took the brunt of this. He feels therefore rejected by any family group.

(“Yes. Well, if Ruburt’s tired we can end the session now.”)
