“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The work with the table will continue and develop into other areas. It is a necessary preliminary, where the effects are definitely seen in the material universe. You will have no difficulty in finding tables to work with.

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.

It is unblocked, and will grow. To some extent you have been waiting to see how his condition would develop, and you will soon feel some release and emergence of energy on your part. Some did come, and you used it well Friday evening.

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.

Its suggestions will give you a good framework within which to grow and develop, and a yardstick so that your progress is always kept before your mind’s eye.

Earlier, he had no understanding nor feeling for the weaknesses of others. He would never imagine himself in their place. Do not mistake me. It is not good to imagine yourself ill, but it is not good to condemn the person who is ill, for that reason.

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.

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.

Your development as an artist however, given your particular abilities and personality, was not possible in your early years. The qualities for which you shall become known will be somewhat the result of your psychic development also. This much I do know.

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.
