“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt has not had his own approval. The physical symptoms are the physical materialization of that disapproval. They serve as a constant reminder of his imperfections—but imperfections in relationship to what? The same to a lesser extent applies to you.

You expect yourself to be a great artist, lost in the intricacies of what you think of as an artistic emotional reality, innocent of any interfering intellectuality. You berate yourself on the one hand for an intellect that it seems to you separates you from immediate emotional contact with painting and with others. At the same time, of course, you would certainly berate a Van Gogh for his overly emotional behavior.

Ruburt emulates your own work habits, and tries to regulate his creative life so that it bears a resemblance to yours. He tries to be disciplined, put in his time, temper his emotional nature, so neither of you approve of yourselves. “Unknown” simply became the platform. It shows the excellent ways in which your natures interact, and that is what the reader will perceive.

You have written the equivalent of your own book from a unique standpoint in “Unknown,” but neither of you have really been able to recognize that. Ruburt, being true to his spontaneity, would forget publishing details. It is his attempt to try and match your individual methods of thought that confuse him. He is producing his books and mine —a double kind of production that entails almost two publishing schedules.

When you do, however, you see results. You pick up each other’s negative moods, however, so you ride emotional storms. Ruburt does not feel he can properly see his way out. Your feelings of spontaneity and discipline go back and forth. Ruburt should stop telling himself that he does not want to see people. He may not want to have visitors at times. On other occasions he enjoys spontaneous encounters. The eye problem has to do, physically, with his present stance—the lack of balance between the two sides of his body, causing pressure on one side of the jaw, and the ear canal, which further aggravates the fullness in the sinus, hence affecting the eyes.

He favors at this time one side, and all his weight and emphasis and direction bears him to the right. The left leg is longer so that the stress is presently applied to the right side. Both the angle of his head and jaw, and the position of his arms, are involved. But the neck, those ligaments and muscles, largely bear the strain so that pressure is put upon the jaw on the right side, and this to some extent impedes sinus drainage in that area.

That entire situation however “ideally” should have passed some time ago. Ruburt’s individual and your joint fears, however, prolong his tension, lengthening what should be a transitory period.

(10:28.) Give us a moment.... His feeling that his work pattern should be like yours makes him worry when he becomes very relaxed. The suggestions I gave you about suggestion fell short largely because at the same time you could not jointly find a position of calmness. It should be easy for you to see that when Ruburt was ready you were not, or vice versa.

His ommm exercises can serve a good purpose; they calm body and mind at once, that is at the same time, and they can serve you also. They allow a period of disengagement in which the benefits from Framework 2 have time to act. I have said before to apply your creative attitudes in this area—and when you have, again, you have seen results. You have not felt free to express your fears to each other, for fear one will upset the other, and so the fears simply grow and then explode.

Ruburt has not expressed those feelings of hope and faith when he has them, for fear they will lead nowhere, or mislead you. Your friend Bill Gallagher is highly sensitive about eyes because of his own condition. He picked up your joint fears like a sponge, and was highly frightened because of his own fear.

All of Ruburt’s concerns about that book have to do with his impatience in time terms. That has to do with his misunderstanding for he has not seen, really, that he is producing work for two personalities that cannot be squeezed into conventional publishing rhythms.

The work with predictions today, whatever the results, is creative, for it turns his mind into areas that will show results often in completely unpredictable psychic events. When you grab hold of your feelings of creativity, again, you have seen results, and you will see them. The ommm exercises can clear your minds. The freedom of communication will stop the erosion and buildup of fear.
