“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: give us a moment, and we will do this in our own way.

To some extent Ruburt has identified with him. He was after all Ruburt’s mother’s father, and therefore the source out of which Ruburt’s mother came—the higher power, so to speak. The ape emotionally represented the instincts in true light, as dependable, supportive, and as the basis for earthly existence. Ruburt as an infant, then, experienced the strength of the earthly source. This means that he is to trust his instincts as far as letters are concerned, or healing, or whatever. At the same time the ape male and female represents the sexual quality of the earth, male and female being simply other versions of each other. This automatically helps resolve certain conflicts Ruburt had involving male-female identifications. In other terms the past was altered, in that Ruburt now experienced the yearned-for mother love that was warm in its animal female understanding, supportive and strong enough to easily bear a child’s small ragings and hatreds.

(10:02.) Give us a moment.... In learning to trust the changes in his body occurring now, Ruburt is at the same time learning to trust his own instincts, and the creaturehood of himself. In your society that can be difficult, and he needed some connections. You are also quite correct, in that the ape also acted as an animal medicine man-woman (as in Personal Reality), symbolically acting out a part that once very well could have been performed in fact. Ruburt has been reading about shamans. Their connections with animals are little understood. In his own way however Ruburt began a shaman’s journey for himself, letting the psyche’s images become alive, and the inner workings of the mind made more obvious.

Reincarnationally now, quite legitimate, and harking back to what I told you about the release of your own abilities. You helped that woman. Your present sense of security and relative detachment gave her strength. She knew she would survive, because she was aware of your knowledge. I will say more about it, but for now that is the end of the session.

(10:45 PM. Jane was obviously very tired; she wanted only to sleep. In our casual conversation I happened to remark that I now had three things going reincarnationally: The Nabene thing, the Roman thing, and the Jamaica thing, toward my chronological “list” of “past” lives.

(“I wish you hadn’t said that, Bob,” Jane said. “Now I’ve got a whole bunch of stuff on that—so let’s get it down—”

(I protested, saying that I hoped she wouldn’t “say something now that I’ll wish later I’d written down.” For one of the few times during these sessions, I refused to pick up my pen and notebook. Even though Jane repeated that she was willing to give the material. She needed the rest. Seth of course had no problems; he was all set to go.

(“Right,” Jane said. “There’s a whole lot on that that I could give you right now. I’ve just told you a little bit—”
