“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(11:38.) The paper Ruburt wrote this evening is pertinent, and highly significant. Have him show it to you. Indeed, though he dislikes the word, he is finishing the first portion of his apprenticeship, in which he became acquainted with a different kind of reality, and had to learn how to equate it with the “normal one.”

Elements in your lives were seen as negative simply because Ruburt was not sure of himself. Pleas for help were seen as demands—not as opportunities to use abilities, so he felt hounded. He was not sure enough of his new world, still enough a part of the old one so that he saw his life and abilities often through the eyes of the “old world inhabitants”—the others who might scorn him, or set him up for ridicule.

They represented parts of his own psyche, still, at that level of consciousness, not having quite assimilated the greater knowledge or experience, so he felt he needed protection—the protection that would beautifully, cleverly and insidiously serve all of his purposes, allowing him to go ahead as he wanted to, but with control drawn back to the body’s discontent. The discontent would still keep him at home working, and yet also serve as a control against too much inner spontaneity until he learned that he could indeed trust the new world of experience.

What I am saying will make greater sense when you read his paper. Give us a moment.... Your attending class, and hence symbolically standing with him as he relates this greater understanding, not distantly but to individual encountered human beings—a good point, important on your part, for you have never before been willing to encounter others at such a direct level.
