“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is easy perhaps at times to have regrets, to wish that curiosity, the love of learning, the desire for knowledge, and yearning to help your fellow men (was Seth a bit amused here?) had not gone quite so far, and to imagine that had it not Ruburt would be in excellent physical condition, and no one would miss the work that then would not exist.

Nothing is worth what Ruburt has put himself through, you both say (as I did Saturday night), yet Ruburt has put himself through nothing, in those terms—that is, his condition is not from the result of, again, your psychic activities. Those he has been eminently able to perform, and has done beautifully.

Now: Ruburt knew he had to have dental work. He wanted it done. His beliefs were not of the best at all, as far as physically getting to the office. He did not, however, imagine himself, for example, falling, except I believe in one or two very brief thoughts. Had you told him “Never mind, when the time comes you will make it,” that would have been adequate enough. You did say, several times, “You’ll be able to make it all right”—and that was also adequate and a good response.

What you have then was Ruburt’s desire to have his teeth fixed, when it was obvious that he must, and his fear that he could not perform adequately at this time. That data existed in Framework 2. There, computations involving yourselves, Ruburt’s conditions, the circumstances, and your dentist, all went on with great rapidity. You know the solution.

It was originally Ruburt’s loyalty to you that led him to see Paul in the beginning, because Paul had been friendly to you and you liked him. That feeling dissolved Ruburt’s fear of Paul as a dentist. The state of Ruburt’s condition is as I gave it. I will clarify. However, the eye material.

(9:50.) The pendulum was correct, in that it was answering the questions Ruburt asked. The eye condition did result from fears, and in a way “compensated” for other improvements, but not in any specific manner. Ruburt’s general uncertainty and fears with the progress of his improvements led him to over-compensate, in muscular terms, causing lacks of balances otherwise unnecessary as the large areas of the neck and jaws began to relax and release.

The fear that the eye difficulty might be a serious disease caused further tension, of course. The knees are definitely continuing to release. The hands, fingers, arms and neck areas also. You both believed for years—and many years —that if you were gifted you had to do all you could to protect yourselves from others. Ruburt believed that people hated you if you were different. Those beliefs existed, and Ruburt felt that he was different, from the time he was a young child.

Your remark about the dishes was most creative, despite the way the remark was put: “Soon you will be able to stand and do the dishes, and just enjoy the task.” That would have been excellent. To expect Ruburt to do that the next moment, however, brought up instant contradictions. You did remind him of the joy he used to take in that activity, however, and in an important way a conflict was resolved: he enjoys the dishes now, and he can say “Before I know it, I can enjoy it standing up also.”

Paul reacted to Ruburt’s and your affection for him. That already existed in both frameworks. He rather surprised himself, however, with his suggestion.

It is very important that both of you realize, paraphrasing James, that the universe is with you, that it supports you. That belief will always bring the best possible developments from Framework 2. Ruburt should concentrate on his creative work. You should both help reinforce each other’s beliefs, in the actuality of Framework 2, and in the safety in which your existence is couched. There are several good developments coming your way that I will let you discover, and there should be some definite improvements in Ruburt’s eyes—I would say, very quickly.
