“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane was ready for the session at 8:45, so we sat for it in our bedroom for extra privacy. Seth didn’t appear; however, although Jane said she felt him around at various times. Finally at 9:15 she said “I’ve been set up. Instead of telling us about it, Seth’s letting me feel the emotions of that young girl you were involved with when you were Nebene, at the time of Christ....” This was in or near Constantinople. The girl’s name was Sharabena, and she was Jane in that life as I was Nebene.

—and we will begin part two of this evening’s session. To speak in terms of mastering a situation already phrases a situation in poor terms. (A remark I made during discussion, etc.) You choose situations in order to learn and understand. The two of you, now, chose that aspect of your lives together in this life, to help you understand the meaningful relationship between spontaneity as connected with the emotions and creativity, and discipline as connected with the intellectual: to feel and understand the creative tension that connects them both, to learn the personal aspects of emotional relationships as they affect others, and the reflection of the emotions into creative endeavor. You served to help Ruburt find in this life direction. He also helped spur your own sense of direction in your early days together, when you turned from commercial art.

The commercial art served your emotions quite simply. It allowed you to release your emotions in stereotyped impersonal ways. Some situations, drawn, might be of highly charged areas—the Spillane strips, for example—yet the release of the emotion was stereotyped. You knew that one of Ruburt’s purposes would be to insist upon the expression of your emotions to him personally. Because of other life aspects you knew this.

You both knew the tension that would also result, for you would to some strong degree resist. He needed direction however, and he knew that you would help give it to him. You would help him mold and direct his own strong emotional nature. You would have gone to the most considerable lengths to help direct his energy. He would have gone, and has gone, to considerable lengths to allow you to freely begin to express your emotional reality to him.

Now you gave him great help in achieving direction, and could not understand why he did not understand this, and that naturally you were pleased with his progress. But in your emotional (underlined) reaction you did not show your pleasure. You have, now, begun to reach him emotionally. This is your goal as well as his.

You have always wanted, in this life, to express yourself emotionally in that fashion. You taught him how to direct his emotions in his work. Because of the tensions and the challenges, however, and for other reasons having to do with this existence, Ruburt became worried that you would not relate to him in the emotional way that his nature demanded. You asked me how you could relate to him emotionally. Do you remember, in a recent session?

You must help him realize that physically he can do more than he realizes. Your emotional rapport now automatically helps. Many of your old sessions on that sort of thing specifically will be of benefit. Again, remark upon any improvements. Do not at this point judge him against your idea of perfect performance.

With the emotional rapport, and following through on the suggestions given, there will be added improvements, and some quite startling. Money-wise you will be fine, and trust Ruburt in money matters. Your shelter (in quotes) “problem” will be taken care of. You will do well.

The main problem being the emotional rapport. Now while this has shown itself in Ruburt’s symptoms, it also showed itself in your work. Yet it was not your problem alone, but a challenge for both of you, as stated earlier in the session. It is important that you see that clearly also, so if you have questions on it ask me when you read this over.
