“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I want to give you all the pertinent information you require. I also want to see, however, that Ruburt’s own rhythms are followed, so that you do not get an overconcentration of renewed worries or concerns. We are embarked upon a journey of expression, some of that expression will necessarily involve feelings that have been inhibited, of a stressful nature. The problem is not with the feelings, but with the fact that they have not previously been expressed or accepted. [...]

There are other dream episodes that Ruburt has forgotten, and help that he has received, that does not need to become conscious. All that is primarily needed is trust in those healing processes, and particularly in the body’s relaxation. [...]

(No session was held Monday night because Jane was so relaxed again—that is, I’d thought that was the reason, but more about that later. [...] I don’t feel him around at all.” [...] She still sat in her usual place on the couch, and following a suggestion I’d made the other day she decided to try having the session from that position. [...]

To that extent he has carried on the sessions, using them to good purpose. The natural person is of course the natural dreamer, and it is for that reason all the more unfortunate that psychology managed to divorce the world of dreaming from natural healthy psychology. [...]

(Pause at 9:50.) I also want to stress the fact that the entire psychic area of expression belongs to the natural person. It is not some esoteric addition. Man, for example, exhibited natural psychic activity long before the birth of science —and for that matter before the initiation of formal religion. There is therefore a great connection between creativity—poetry in particular—dreams, and psychic exploration. If anything, these provide humanity with a great rich structure of psychological activity from which all of the later cultural, religious, or scientific elements emerge. So remind Ruburt that his psychic activity represents a most basic portion of his nature—and of human nature. [...]

(9:32.) That process has been strengthened as far as Ruburt is concerned once again. The Stonehenge poem (that Jane began writing earlier in March, when we received an English postcard from Michael Lorimer) in a way is a case in point, since it shows the reawakening of a certain kind of creative and psychic activity. So does the bodily relaxation, however, and that steady reduction of tension is bound to show good results as he learns to trust himself further. [...]

[...] It is the feelings that are so important. [...] There is no need saying, “What a ridiculous way to feel” —not an attempt to disinherit the feelings, but to accept them as one’s own, and compassionately explain the mitigating circumstances and new knowledge that alter the initial circumstances that stimulated the feelings to begin with. [...]

Natural therapeutics always operate, of course, but in your society at least there is considerable pressure put on the other side, for it is the natural person you are taught not to trust. (Pause.) The switch of course, again, can never become total, but science—and medical science in particular—almost managed to divorce man from his natural feeling of trust in his own capacities, so that it seems for example that medical science per se knows more about any given individual’s body than the individual does himself. (Pause.) This is because of the projection of the entire idea of body mechanisms, per se, as opposed to inner spontaneous bodily workings. [...]

(Pause.) Our material was precisely the kind that would directly threaten old beliefs, so in that regard there were bound to be points of conflict. Ruburt would meet them fairly directly, since after all he was not some hypothetical person reading our books, but the person responsible for delivering them. In a fashion the material returns him, however, to a natural yet mystical inner knowledge of his childhood before (underlined) he cloaked it in the church’s robes, and it would be good for him to remember that and perhaps try to recapture some of those very early feelings that he has consciously forgotten. [...]

(Long pause.) I am trying to connect present and past here in a very important manner, so that Ruburt can understand his own psychic roots, for they are indeed the basic ones, and that understanding is as important to his development now as any other material that I might give. I will then end the session, unless you have a question that you particularly want answered this evening. [...]
