“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:15.) They do not trust themselves. They do not have the stamina, or the resoluteness, however, yet, to face a reality in which they are the creators of their circumstances. They no longer trust religion or science in organizational terms. If they read Ruburt’s books, they must accept the fact that Ruburt, as a woman, without the world’s credentials, will dare to follow the dictates of the inner self, and this makes the entire affair more frightening to them, to a degree.

The two of you are after all people, they think, and since they distrust themselves they cannot really understand how the two of you trust yourselves as much as you do. They use my position as a substitute for the authority they are trying to give up. They think “If I had a Seth (loudly), I too would progress,” and so forth.

They are afraid of vulnerability. They are between the comic book world and your own. They yearn for an authority they can trust. Ruburt’s books show that it is not all that easy, in their terms. They want to believe that he depends upon me to make all his decisions, and they do not want to hear about his independent thinking. They are between dependence and independence, at the level of which I am speaking.

Any improvements Ruburt shows are considered insignificant, unimportant—or worse, deceptive. They are not trusted. They become lost. It is not that they are considered unimportant so much as they are considered to be not trustworthy. You are so afraid to trust them, either of you. Not only are they not taken advantage of then, but when they do not continue this is taken as proof that they are deceptive.

I will have more to say in that regard. On several occasions however in the past, you did learn to trust improvements, and Ruburt made important strides. He is almost afraid of mentioning it when something works better, for example. I want this changed: I will have much more to say at our next session.

That adds to anxiety, and the anxiety helps keep the position the same, and brings about a hopeless feeling in which nothing but an instant, complete healing would be trusted.

And take my suggestions, both of you, to heart. Tell Ruburt to trust the physician within and the body’s ancient wisdom.
