“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt directed his will in certain areas. Your will is your intent. All of the power of your being is mobilized by your will, and your will makes its deductions according to your beliefs about reality. Each of you use your will in your own way. Each of you has your own way of dealing with challenges. Ruburt used his will to solve one challenge: he was determined to find the kind of mate that would best suit him, and his own unique characteristics. That intent was in his mind.

He wanted to write, to use his creative and psychic abilities to the fullest, and so he cut down all distractions. His literal mind led him on the one hand to a rich diet of creativity and psychic experience, and to a situation in which he and Joseph could finally be financially free and not in that way threatened.

One of the beliefs then was a strong joint one that you had to protect your energy at all costs, and block out any worldly distractions. Ruburt with his practical mind interpreted this more literally than you, and physical restriction was a part of his natural early environment, as it was not in yours. You were half scandalized, yet half approving, for some time. In the physical area in the meantime, Ruburt lost the connection between will and body. This was a natural result of his method.
