“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The continuity should tell you something about our relationship, and also serve as a kind of reassurance. My presence, so to speak, has always been somewhat of a promise, as well as an actuality. For my presence and the sessions both do indeed imply a promise of knowledge beyond what is generally known, and, hopefully, of wisdom beyond that which is generally possessed. The sessions also imply the promise of a contact with a larger reality than your own—one large enough to contain the world that you normally recognize.

You were gifted enough so that you would not starve in the marketplace (humorously)—and yet your gifts were also those that would fit in with your overall purposes of obtaining knowledge of the inner workings of nature, and the psyche. Both of you constantly question the world, and both of you in different ways protected yourselves, so that you would not be tempted by the world’s usual ways.

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.

Ruburt found our last session extremely depressing, as he saw how the two of you conspired to bring about his physical condition. Though the primary “responsibility” is his, of course, yet each of you in the same fashion “conspired” to explore art, psychic realities, and the search for knowledge together. Each of you conspired to learn far more than might have seemed possible from your backgrounds, to sort through systems of beliefs. Each of you conspired to share your knowledge with the world, so that other lives were also enriched.

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).

My continuing “presence” serves to remind you of your ever-vital connections with other realities, and of your existence in those realities. New comprehensions are available at any time, new breakthroughs in any area, for those realities contain the sources of your world’s action.
