“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The night was a very hot and humid one. I had the fan on, directed in Jane’s general direction as she sat across the coffee table from me. I’d asked her earlier if she wanted to have a session, but she said she wanted to. As it was, the evening’s work was rather brief —if extremely interesting.)

You both believed in relating personally to the universe. You wanted some relative seclusion. The search for knowledge would mean often that you would be between beliefs, operating as you had been taught through training, and trying to operate according to the new knowledge. You know this, of course. The search for knowledge on your parts was personal. You would share what you learned with the world —but he who seeks knowledge must first of all be himself or herself, for most members of the world cannot follow such a course.

It often seemed safer, even, to keep a certain distance from the material, lest you accept it too uncritically, and Ruburt’s critical stance was usually simply an unneeded defense, so that he could keep footing in both worlds at once. You set yourselves these challenges, and in all of your lives you have been challenge-oriented. Sometimes you won out, and you did more often than not, and even when you seemingly failed you put the knowledge to use. Ruburt should ask for another reincarnational dream, and it will help both of you if you consider your situation from a larger context – for that context will throw illumination upon those areas where your comprehension is less than it might be (with quiet amusement).

Ruburt has often felt that it was too late, and that you could not help him —for you would sabotage his efforts, as it seemed he himself did. Such feelings should be admitted. They are, however, the results of old hangovers, when he is reacting to conventional, quite limited knowledge filled with distortion, about the nature of the psyche, the nature of time—knowledge further polluted by methods of problem-solving that simply add to problems.
