“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For a while your beliefs, ideas, and artistic ability merged at one level. You moved out of that level. Millions of people consider that the ordinary, accepted mode of existence. The story lines that went with those cartoons amused the people. You did your best to illustrate those stories. You could have stayed in the field. But even from the beginning you knew it was a transitory part of your development.

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.

Give us a moment.... My work is in a way more direct than Ruburt’s. It appeals to many levels of the psyche at once. It can be interpreted at many depths. From the comic book reader to the scholar, each will find a point of contact within my work. The comic book reader will interpret it in his own way, and perhaps I will emerge as a supersoul instead of a superman (with humor).

(10:42.) Because of my source. I can appeal to many levels at once. To some extent also, people do not want to be told by one of their own kind of their failures, even if these are only implied. They would much prefer to think of him (Ruburt) as a sweet, passive, and spiritual channel—the figurative phone booth. Some people purposely will not read his works. They do not want his comments, where yours are acceptable.

There are certain elements within the human personality that exist apart from any such terms. There is an area of being where a person simply is not intelligent or dumb, greedy or not greedy, where the essence of personality simply is. It is that level I address. To that degree I have the advantage.

At the same time I work with a level of Ruburt’s personality that is his, that to some extent uses his knowledge of the world and its people, but I am far freer in my overall understanding and comprehension of people. I bear no human rancor, you see (with a smile), as Ruburt to some extent must.
