“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt is not an extremist—nor, on the whole, is he given to extremes. He has at times taken some comparatively extreme measures, and they were taken to some degree because he felt he could be an extremist.

Now, what would that extreme behavior consist of “at its worst?” He felt that if he were a person given to extremes, then to use his abilities he must apply due discipline so that his head was not turned, so that he did not become a victim of fame, as many other writers and artists did—or so it seemed. It certainly should be obvious to Ruburt now that his personality contains some quite conservative aspects—a marriage going into two decades and more does not exactly make one worry about promiscuity. So many old fears were based upon misconceptions on the part of the personality that in younger years found itself to be quite different than its contemporaries, and gradually began to set up defenses against them.

The dream was meant to do two things: point out the fears that were still present, and to show you that though present, they were groundless. The car, which was the vehicle of expression, would not crash. It was not going backward. The backward motion referred to time, and how much time you felt existed between the book’s dictation and the delivery of Volume 2.
