“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

All of the fears are based of course on the belief that Ruburt must write to justify his existence. The basic insecurity, in other words.

Now. Another tact necessary. Handle it as given above, building up inner security. Then make sure that Ruburt’s fears are vented, that he acknowledges them consciously and does not attempt to intellectualize them away. They do have their own validity.

You think such fears foolish; Ruburt does, so he tried to talk himself out of them while at the same time pretending that they do not exist. They are unvented, then. He is ashamed then to discuss them with you also.

(At about 6 PM, an hour before ESP class, the symptoms returned to a lesser degree. Both of us were once again alarmed. While Jane used her pendulum I gave suggestions, after reading this session to her. We went over what we had learned through Jane’s pendulum about an innocent remark of mine, that Jane didn’t have to ask Eleanor to return the script of Rich Bed after a two-week period. By this I wanted to show Jane that I wasn’t trying to tell her how to run things—but seemingly this remark instead rearroused Jane’s fears that she couldn’t insist upon action from Eleanor so quickly. Jane wants action.

(Jane dressed for class, and the symptoms didn’t worsen. She told me at a break in class that after the first few minutes she began to feel much better. During the evening as I worked in the kitchen, I heard her sing beautifully in Sumari several times; Seth spoke also, much more forcefully that he had this afternoon. Jane also told me that she liked class—we had discussed her dropping it soon—and that she intended to be “freer” in it from now on; and that the tooth thing would be conquered. It seems we learned a lot today. The fear we consciously experienced has been very instructive.)
