“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The nuclear power plants are connected in your mind. It seems not only as money taken from you, or from Ruburt, which annoys you more, since you think he worked so hard for it—but worst of all, the money is being spent to promote national stupidities of distorted beliefs, to which you are diametrically opposed.

Now: as Ruburt often imagined the worst possibility, and thought that he was being practical in doing so, in terms of his physical condition, gums and all, so you do the same thing in these given areas.

Ruburt’s connections the other evening concerning your mother were correct. (I have a record of these for use in “Unknown” Reality.

(10:06.) Now: your money paid in taxes will go to support a system that, when all is said and done, presently, tries to support its citizens despite all its weaknesses and stupidities. It does, as Ruburt thinks often, support other poor but gifted youngsters, and poor and ungifted youngsters (with amusement). It preserves a quite necessary organization in which, overall, nationally at least, changes do occur for the better without massive disruptions.

Your joint ideas of the ideal, its expression, and feared closure, was in the past also largely responsible for your joint embarrassment over Ruburt’s physical condition, your joint shame over his appearance.

When Ruburt as an individual sought to heal himself, and at the same time sought to divest himself of traditional methods of healing, such as doctors and so forth, he embarked upon a journey through his own beliefs—but also through the beliefs of your own culture. He is coming out on the other side. Again, your discussion about the dentist was vital to him, because he finally understood his attitudes—not only in that area but others; and in those areas, no matter what he told himself, he was afraid that the worst was really happening, or would happen.

(11:15.) Ruburt’s approach with the gums is a good one. It can work if he changes his beliefs quickly enough, since the overall physical condition is vastly accelerated. His impressions earlier this evening are very significant, as you will both shortly see. Do not consider your own symptoms as weakness, or as something to be ashamed of in the face of the ideal of perfect health.

Postscript: certain conditions have already changed for Ruburt, so that he can express energy more exuberantly. He can collect it, and yet let it flow through him with greater strength.

(All louder:) He can direct energy better for that reason. So—I am personally sending you a surplus, and I am directing it in those areas in which you need it most. I am saturating you with it. Seven told Ruburt not to forget to be playful. My existence is quite as earnest as your own—yet may I also remind you to remember and to encourage the playful elements of your own being.
