“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are different than animals, but in this case the same issues are involved. You must have a basic approval of yourself. This is information not only for you two, of course, but for others—but you must trust your basic being, with its characteristics and abilities. You have them for a reason in all of their unique combinations. You should also avoid labels, for these can stereotype your perception of yourself.

I will give you some (stereotypes): Ruburt is stubborn. He never forgets a slight. Ruburt is fiercely loyal. Joseph deals in details. His mind is logical rather than intuitive. Ruburt is spontaneous. Joseph is not. All of these are labels, and quite relative. Ruburt is loyal to you. He was not loyal, in those terms, to Walter Zeh, or he would still be with him. Ruburt is spontaneous—but if he were all that spontaneous he would be walking better. You, Joseph, are spontaneous. You do not have to think before you cross the floor—where there Ruburt is aware of the slightest detail—the arrangement of his body or the furniture, the lay of the floor.
