“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Anyone who starts out to do so knows there are some risks. Such people also know however that intuitively they possess the ability to conquer any such barriers. Today’s physical development represents the beginning of the profound improvement I spoke of, simply surfacing today.

Fear of what? Of people, who have the power to hurt you. But I say to you that literally no one has such a power. You can only hurt yourself. When others seem to hurt you, you use them in a way as weapons against yourself; and of course they so allow themselves to be used for their own reasons. But Ruburt has a highly symbolic mind as well as a highly literal one, so he has hidden behind closed doors.

Ruburt’s New York Times ad is delightful, but he no longer needs to depend upon that kind of prestige. You are not better than other people, either of you. You certainly are not worse. You are, in your terms, in their reality while being “ahead” of them in terms of certain kinds of development. You chose this experience for a reason. You do have equal contemporaries, unknown to you, but you are working at a different level. You are not involved in a specific kind of emotional reality others are pursuing. Those realities are not beneath your own in any way. They do need people like you who are not so involved, who work in other areas, to help them.

Ruburt is correct: you would not have been happy in your mother’s old home, with beliefs and situations as they are; but on your part as well as Ruburt’s. The people who moved there did so for a reason, and they will bring “new blood” to the neighborhood.

Those who looked entirely to money and position are forced, and will be, to question their beliefs. The troubles with the economy can be the answers to the problems of Western civilization. There are always psychic checks and balances. When people feel they have gone too far in one process, they disrupt it, stop it, look at it.

If it is possible the two of you should have a garden of fresh vegetables—not only for the obvious values, but because of the implied contact with the growing earth, regardless of how small the garden might be. Some of the concepts that will come in The “Unknown” Reality will help Ruburt understand the nature of healing, for that is highly important. People are healed who come here, in ways not visible. All shrines are basically shrines to the authority of the self, regardless of the personifications or deifications involved. In certain terms each person is God, and each person is utterly anonymous, for God is completely personal and completely anonymous.
