“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You both comment often about Ruburt’s literal mind, forgetting that it is most knowledgeable as far as symbolic content is concerned. His interpretation of your dreams should make that apparent. So he spoke of his new chair and the Wanda incident and the piece of jewelry (from Frank) in one breath. Quite acute.

Framework 2 was involved, and so was the chair and so was Frank’s return. In the back of your mind you questioned whether giving him a new, more comfortable chair to work in was or was not a smart thing to do: would it encourage him to retreat to his room and his writing, and simply serve to intensify old conditions? Frank, who was away, had returned, and would visit that day. Your fears, brought to the forefront by the Gallagher episode the week earlier, again surfaced with the event of the chair and Frank’s return. Would Ruburt then simply continue seeing Frank now, and the old, it seemed useless, rituals go on?

Furthermore, in the back of your mind, and somewhat at least as a result of the Gallaghers’ well-meaning query, you also wondered if you were doing your duty should you not insist that Ruburt receive conventional but definite help? Better that this be set up, it seemed immediately, so that Frank was met with the accomplished fact of a set appointment.

That fear led you to make, during your short drive, a quick and quite a desperate entreaty into Framework 2. Wanda had several errands, the bank merely one, and it was her lunch hour. She thought of making the bank trip after lunch—that is, after eating—and instead changed her mind so that you met. She never forgot the help you two gave her one night, when she was frightened, and that connects you to her in Framework 2.

I have told you steadily that Ruburt has no disease. Diseases are simply groups of symptoms that you have categorized in certain orders to begin with. He approved of his mind. For many reasons given in earlier sessions, he related mentally. Nothing wrong in that. You both had exaggerated ideas, or distorted ones, about the nature of creativity, and about people who were creative, and you considered yourselves rightly as creative people.

Ruburt rediscovered the rune book, hardly by accident. The ommm exercises, with his late understanding, relieved the body enough so that the excellent rune exercises began to work, on his mind as well as his body. He allowed his body, finally, to begin to demonstrate some action. This is because he suspended his self-disapproval for a while.

You did not trust your chair gift because of your own habit of disapproval. You dared to be spontaneous with Wanda. Whenever you suspend that disapproval body and mind automatically function better and together in a smoother fashion. Only your feelings and disapproval and the lack of confidence generated causes the hopelessness about Ruburt’s situation that frequently assails you both.
