“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Without Ruburt’s now and then, really rather petty explosions, the stability of his working habits and the stability of emotional reactions would not be nearly as regular. The explosions are after all small ones, and of a harmless nature, that have a definite balancing tendency. Nor, my dear Joseph, are these explosions, though this is quite an exaggerated phrase, nor are these his alone; for he takes up also your hidden frustrations and angers, feels them deeply, though consciously he does not know this; and he then in these small explosions rather harmlessly dispels pent-up, small but potent emotional bombshells that belong to you both.

This involves on his part not a conscious, but a subconscious change of habit. The new habit he has acquired very well. The psychic explosions that have been fairly regular with him in the past, have been minimized to some considerable degree since our sessions began. No one is endeavoring to tamper with his personality, however, and it is his natural reaction to turn aggression, when it arises, outward in some manner, while he is almost superstitiously careful that it not be directed at another individual.

Again, you Joseph feared aggression in the past so strongly that you would not allow yourself to even recall such dreams a year ago. Ruburt has no such knowledge of aggressive dreams, a very few, and this is also significant. He fears violence. This is one of the main reasons for his own occasional explosive moods.

You have atrocious acts committed, along with great heroisms, but each are explosive, representing sudden releases of withheld energies that have in other ways been forbidden, and so man’s mass psyche expresses itself sometimes like explosive fireworks, simply because the release of pressure is necessary.

Fanaticism abounds, of course, because the human tendencies and experiences that have been denied by the mainline society erupt with explosive force, where the tendencies themselves must be accepted as characteristics of human experience. Iran is an example for the world, in explosive capsule form, complete with historical background and a modern political one. [...]

[...] Was he referring to another big-bang type of “momentous explosion”? [...] Instead, I thought, by “another form” he may mean an explosion of ideas or knowledge in our reality, with the tremendous objective results that would follow. Such results would stem even from “just” a spiritual explosion. [...]

[...] In terms of time, the realization of that purpose will emerge with another momentous explosion of subjective inspiration into objectivity, or into another form. [...]

Since it’s sometimes difficult to be sure of just what Seth is saying, in retrospect I wished that either he’d volunteered more information about his explosion-expansion, or that I’d been quick enough to ask him to do so. [...]

The explosion would most likely take the part of explosive behavior. [...]

The spontaneous self when it did escape, you see, managed to do so only under circumstances where the explosive impulses shattered their way through. [...]

[...] It would doubtless cause some sort of an explosion however, in order to prevent any such occurrence.

[...] The first explosion of psychic energy in an ungeneralized dimension sparked the birth of specifics.

[...] The formation, the explosion, of energy, shattered consciousness into an infinity of parts, each with all the abilities in here within consciousness itself.

[...] He does not speak of these as you do, but nevertheless woe if you ignore them, because he will react in an emotional explosion at best and a psychic explosion at worst.

[...] The dangerous psychic explosions that I spoke of as being possible are very real possibilities, and involve even chemical changes in Ruburt’s own body; and I do suggest that you make some changes, either by returning to your regular workroom, Joseph, or by making the porch room into a temporary bedroom. Ruburt is unpredictable so I cannot predict what guise such an explosion might take, but it would be definitely dangerous and strong.

(Jane had also mentioned to me yesterday a flash she had received about the self-conscious self behind the ego; this in addition to the material on Ruburt’s psychic explosions. [...]

(“An initial explosion.” [...] To Jane, the heat implication leads to explosion, etc.

(“The explosive impression again.” See the interpretation of Initial Explosion on page 157.

[...] An initial explosion. [...]

[...] When the worlds, yours and others, were thus created, there was indeed an explosion of unimaginable proportions, as the divine spark of inspiration exploded into objectivity.

[...] In your terms this was a physical explosion—but in the terms of the consciousnesses involved in that breakthrough, this was experienced as a triumphant “first” inspirational frenzy, a breakthrough into another kind of being (most intently).

I told Jane that as far as I know the unimaginable explosion of the primordial superdense state, or entity, that resulted in the formation of our universe had been a straightforward event: Once begun, it kept going. [...]

[...] It was in its own way therapeutic: he was releasing old tensions that had been stored up, and they required that kind of fairly explosive release. [...]

[...] I asked Jane if Seth’s use of the word “explosive” was apropos, and she said it pretty well was. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s energy has an explosive nature. [...]

His explosive energy adds vitality and variety to your more evenly regulated pattern. [...]

[...] That critical explosion of divine subjectivity into objectivity is always happening, and you are being given life “in each moment” because of the simultaneous nature of that divine subjectivity.

[...] Your system presents a rather abrupt, explosive entrance into largely organized consciousness, but on an individual basis.

Highly unstable explosive energy may lead you to a tragic war. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There was no explosion. [...]

[...] Perhaps then you will understand the great majesty and explosive power of my exotic world.”

The spirit of Island One says: “I quite enjoyed my venture, and I’ve learned that the great explosive thrusts of creativity are good — but, oh, I yearn for my own quiet, undisturbed shores; and so if you don’t care I think I’ll return there.” [...]

[...] Great changes appear, and showers of power — quick bursts of rain, explosive inundations of energy.

[...] You are much easier now, but at the time, there was an explosion of energy on your part that you did not understand, and you were afraid that in this explosion of energy you would go too far outward and there would be nothing left, so to speak, that you would get away from yourself and lose yourself beyond all hopes of recovery. [...]

[...] Your own parental problem has again suffered an explosion of sorts, and so far you have handled it well.

The characteristics are explosive and seemingly overwhelmingly impulsive, simply because by the nature of a fragment there are few balancing features, usually instead a one-sided explosive offshoot. [...]

[...] The reality behind such an explosion into matter is not dependent upon the matter. [...]

It is precisely because the inner vitality is not accepted by the ego, that when it is acknowledged by the ego it seems so explosive. [...]

[...] Therefore any seemingly small incident will tend to bring forth the explosion of these emotions quite against the ego’s inclination, precisely because the ego denies them so vehemently.

The harder the ego attempts to hold down the emotions, the more explosively will they show themselves upon the least provocation, and the more the ego will attempt to hold them down, and the worse the ulcer becomes. [...]

[...] [The entire plant is idle, since unit 1 had already been shut down for refueling.] By now the situation is much more serious, however: There’s a chance of a catastrophic “meltdown” of the uranium fuel rods in the damaged reactor’s core—the worst possible accident that can occur in such circumstances, short of an explosion, and a kind that proponents of nuclear power have long maintained “almost certainly cannot happen.” [...]
