“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am not making value judgments of my own here in the following remarks. His subconscious, however, knowing its own beliefs which were given it by the conscious self, after all, feels highly threatened, for it knows not more about Ruburt than he does, but more than Ruburt will admit he knows. He expects himself to do such things, and the minute he gets better, he says, he will go thusly out into the world.

Ruburt decided to brazen it through—to do his thing and be paid for it. At the same time Ruburt carried the fears mentioned. He hoped for the world’s approval, for he knew his work was good. On the other hand he carried the beliefs of this afternoon’s dream—that originality made a person instantly suspect, and that in the ordinary world, if you put yourself in the world’s eye its people would hunt you down. In opposition, he carried the belief that he should go on television, make tours, and so forth, and expose himself in direct opposition to those fears.

(Jane was getting that “slightly sicky feeling in my stomach” as we talked about fears. I got her a glass of milk. “I’ll do what I can about the session,” she said. She was yawning again and again. I reminded her of my two questions from Monday’s session, plus the one about my reaction to the mail today. Seth didn’t go into the first two, but the following material did have to do with reactions to those who wrote us. Resume at 10:27.)

Ruburt became frightened, for example, of out-of-body travel when he began to get it in his head that “all the nuts” were doing it too, and that out-of-body activity involved him in an inner public environment, in which he might meet “all those fools” who were then not bound by physical restraints. He did not fear death, for example, at the hands of others, then, but too close emotional contact. He felt people “could get at him” that way.

Your interests place you in a position in which you question the theories of your times, and the people who uphold those theories are not about to seek you out. You do not realize the exhilarating nature, again, of your own endeavors in comparison to those of, say, the majority.

The subconscious can be told to take advantage of that additional knowledge and help, and it will gladly do so. Remind me of other questions at our next session.
