“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The Catholic church, incidentally, as he knew it, while admitting the mystic experience, was highly suspicious of him in that regard. He was recognized as the too intent, emotional and mystical personality, and to some extent distrusted.

Ready arguments for the other side have been taken for granted by him emotionally. One strong portion of him knows well that Christian theology is far from any entire answer, that Christ was not the son of the only God; the other portion of Ruburt is still affected by those beliefs, and he did not realize it.

The emotional beliefs therefore could not be reached. A concerted effort should be made to gain the support of the part of him who understands. Your own reasonable arguments there will help. Point them out. Bring up arguments for that side. Part of this has to do also with the fact that his complete support in St. Vincent’s Catholic orphanage was carried on by a religious order. (For over two years.)

Intellectually he changed his views. Intuitively he went ahead. The clash with the emotional aspects occurred only when a system of thought seemed formulated that would oppose the early emotional views.

(“How come these early emotional ideas haven’t been influenced, at least somewhat modified by all the intuitive and intellectual activity, and new ideas, that have developed and taken place in the last few years?”)

Because they were formed at a time before the intellectual and intuitive abilities developed, and were not a problem until the intellectual and intuitive abilities seemed to come upon a system of thought that was in opposition to the underlying emotional beliefs. Until then there was no conflict.

Keeping the church, he could always return to it. Setting up a new system of thought that he considered in opposition would make this impossible. You do have more to work with than you realize once this is understood though, for there are also strong emotional drives toward the desire for truth that can be allied with the early released ones—but these must be released and understood first.
