“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: we have been having a rather concentrated group of sessions, and it is quite natural that Ruburt should want to take some time out as he has, so that he can assimilate the material.

He is having this evening’s session at least partially out of his sense of responsibility—because he thinks he should, and because he thinks you think he should. He must, or should, feel free to have the sessions—to have the sessions.

He has used the materials of your culture—the television programs and so forth—to excellent advantage in the dream state and otherwise, so that messages of his own psyche come through. The TV programs become like dreams, and indeed they appear rewritten in the dream state also, as the psyche seizes upon different kinds of vehicles for its own therapeutic expression.

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. In the natural person, dreams always serve a balancing function, leading toward self-illumination, self-instruction, self-help.

(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.

He is beginning to identify better with his body—a very important point.

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.

I recommend again that Ruburt not forget to look into the library, to do some energy research on himself, and in whatever way possible try to encourage an atmosphere in which he is “less careful.”

(Long pause at 9:56.) The entire dynamics of civilization to a large extent is related directly to man’s individual and mass psychic experience, and he ever receives fresh information from those inner sources. Otherwise his physical dilemmas, individually and worldwide, would have ended in sure catastrophe centuries ago.

(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.

Such reassurances and reminders can help connect him with feelings from that earlier time. The early vivid feeling for reincarnation, when he knew Roberts was not his proper name (as a youngster); the episode when he watched grade school children as no more than a toddler himself, and knew he had gone to school before; the flying out-of-body dreams; and the sense of identification with nature, and particularly with the night—those feelings waited for their vindication, for they did not fit into the world as he was told then. Period.

(“No....” Actually I had many questions, but decided to forgo them since Seth had remarked earlier that Jane needed time to assimilate the material he’s already given.)
