“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now Ruburt is literally floating free from his difficulties. He made an important statement this evening concerning habits. Some new habits have finally taken; consciously he has learned to leave himself alone enough so that the body can clear itself.

A word about what Ruburt calls his “helper.” In the past he drained his reserves. Now they are building up in all areas. There are excess energies now that act as magnets, drawing other positive energy to him in such proportion that the entire gestalt becomes in effect a psychic helper.

Now this does have personality characteristics in terms of consciousness and intent. Very positive ones, initially set into motion by Ruburt’s desire to help others, and attempts to do so. This is a form built up by him unconsciously in a realm other than the physical, and it is gaining in strength and expertise.

This helper now automatically helps heal Ruburt. Ruburt’s emotional energy is very strong, as you know. Thoughts and feelings of dejection were too faithfully materialized. Now the change shows in an acceleration also, in attraction toward the creative and positive which very quickly generated the birth of the helper.

These are personalities, in that they do possess consciousness, in this case built upon Ruburt’s most creative tendencies. Such personalities are extremely faithful.

To that extent it was consistent. It was not driven however by intent. In one way both personalities were accidental, in that Ruburt did not consciously (underlined) form either. In deeper terms however it was a creature of default, of frustration, and lack-of. (Seth’s punctuation.)

The black thing simply raged. You must understand however that the black thing also served its purpose, for Ruburt was finally able to recognize moods that corresponded to it. You both came close to this recognition during your vacation when you discussed a black ball or atmosphere that you threw back and forth, a pall.

Ruburt has found again what you never really lost—the sense of daily joy of existence—which he allowed himself unknowingly to relinquish for some time. Follow the advice given you earlier this evening, the both of you.

Now this helper, as time goes by, can be counted upon to help you in whatever ways it can, as long as Ruburt continues in his present frame of mind and habit, for this itself is bringing about improvements in all areas of your lives.

Ruburt should make a habit of addressing his helper now and then, and of building up rapport. The more that is asked of it the better it will perform, and the greater its own development will become. It needs training, and enjoys it, but the training must be gently and kindly.

I will have more to say concerning this at another time, for Ruburt can use the information. Now I suggest you take your break and we will continue.

At one time therefore Ruburt’s fears greatly overbalanced his hopes. Feelings of desolation outbalanced feelings of joy. In a concentrated form in this other realm, this self-image was reflected. Following the laws of attraction, it drew to it other such realities.

(Pause.) Ruburt was made aware of the fact in an out-of-body state when they came face to face. He kept careful note of his feeling and reactions during that time, and knew he could not get in that state of mind again: so he started in quotes “upward.” The old habits however had to be broken down in both realms.

Now. You are on the threshold of forming your own helper. You helped Ruburt in both of his creations. (Leaning forward intently:) These helpers are simply possessed of a different kind of consciousness than your own. In one way they are formed from you, but considerable work of one kind or another is done often before they are released, and set free to work within these other realms for you.

In your case, Ruburt’s black thing served for both of you. By watching him you learned many lessons that you sorely needed to learn.
