“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane was very relaxed after supper, but she wanted to have the session. The period of ease had begun this afternoon, and was still in effect at session time. Jane has had quite a few such relaxations in the past week—nearly on a daily basis, I think. They have been accompanied by sensations of heat, sweating, and soreness, though not all of these symptoms were present in each relaxation. Signs seem very encouraging. Jane now gets over to the breakfast table in perhaps half the time it took her when we began this series of sessions....)

Ruburt saw how being away from his desk and the house worked creatively to his advantage, as per the ride to your mother’s (in Centerville), and the earlier walk around the block. There is no doubt of the many improvements, made up of a series of inner improvements that do not show as yet, except as the time element presents itself—i.e., he gets over here (apartment 5) quicker and easier.

Ruburt’s father, to Ruburt, meant laxness, relaxation to the extreme, without drive or fire, responsibility or control. Ruburt’s mother meant will, drive, power, for she had power over the household and over Ruburt. But that power went nowhere, for Ruburt’s father was physically free while his mother was not. Ruburt thought he had to make a choice (louder). If will and power meant relative immobility but purpose—and purpose was what he had—then in the past he chose that above what he thought of as laxness, relaxation, and physical freedom that might mean frittering away ability, a relaxation in which nothing was accomplished.

His parents represented two extremes. His mother represented will untempered by spontaneity or relaxation, quite frankly a will for power over others. She made other people supply her wants, and was a despot. She was filled with energy however, and purpose.
