“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The Mafia dream (of March 16) based on the gangsters’ series, for example, served to bring into conscious awareness not just the information, but Ruburt’s feelings about the dominant male role in your present culture. It is the feelings that are so important. They should not be shunted aside, or treated as stepchildren, but compassionately understood. Then (underlined) they can change into something else. The same applies to Ruburt’s feelings in the religious area. 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.

(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.
