“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are both learning new methods and approaches, whether you realize this or not. You are learning to utilize energy in new directions. The affair that evening will affect others who were not in the room. Limited concepts of the nature of reality have already been broadened in those present, in some of their descendants, and in others to whom they will speak.

The event has ripples, you see; and yet though in your terms the event is over, it is not over, merely the first movement has begun. The energy used that evening has not begun to complete itself. (Pause.) AA (the personality inhabiting the table) is also learning. You will discover in practical terms how you move and affect physical matter before we are finished, and discover quite practically that you create it.

To move an object in one universe, in one field of reality, from another field of reality, is hardly child’s play. Such personalities must learn at their end, and this learning is often accomplished along with corresponding learning on the part of a developing medium.This is what you have here.

Ruburt’s clairvoyant abilities need farther development, and I will help here, for instance. Much of your own energy has been used in the situation involving yourself and Ruburt and your joint problems. His energy is now, incidentally, normal— that is, his energy is at the point where it was, but now its emergence will not be blocked as it was at that point, just before his symptoms.

Your own psychic development came to some comparative (underlined) standstill, as did Ruburt’s, for a while during the darkest periods last winter. You shut your own down, partially feeling guilty at your part in Ruburt’s dilemma. His slowed down simply out of fear. Now both of you will move.

He was in no position to help others, for he hated their vulnerability. For his own development therefore he needed to face this on his own and conquer it. Otherwise he would never be able to look upon the sick with a compassionate or understanding eye.

Again, he was too terrified. He will completely recover, and then his story will have meaning. You both knew this. You had your own time of it, partially for the same reason, but he had to face the depths of his own terror, and rise and walk away from it, if he were ever to help others do the same.

There was no easy way therefore, really, though easier ways were available. Had he chosen them, there would have been other problems to face in their stead that would have greatly hampered both his development and your own.

Ruburt aided you by helping to develop your spontaneity. Now you repay him by showing him how to rediscover his own. The question of medium will end up as relatively unimportant.

My heartiest wishes to you both. It is good for him to sleep without a pillow for a while. The personal contact last evening was good for you both. Your hands upon him— this is of benefit, and to some extent you can direct healing energy to him in this manner. Keep this in mind when there is such physical contact. This is of more benefit now than it would have been in the past, and I recommend it. I did not suggest it in the past because your own inner feelings were so confused. You could have done more harm than good, but that is over. There is a healthy interchange of energy now between you both. This is merely an impression: have Ruburt send the poetry book to a company beginning with a V or an L.
