“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This is the point that bothers him.

Subconsciously he exaggerates the dangers that will beset him as a result of the publication, and the actual facts will be a relief. [...]

The delay bothers him simply because he is in suspense of the imagined rebuffs. [...]

[...] I can help him, and you, simply because you have earned such aid by your own efforts. [...]

[...] You are the one who is out of contact with your feelings and emotions at that point, however, for at this point of your “spiritual progression” you only imagine that you wish him good. [...] They are contracted because you have not admitted, in this point admittedly of future spiritual progression, that you wanted to wring his neck, so you say nothing but wish him well. [...]

[...] Now it is theoretically possible, for example, theoretically possible for him, or any of you, to disperse your consciousness and become a part of any object in the room or to fly apart, for example, disperse yourself out into space without leaving your sense of identity. [...]

[...] Now the nicest thing that could happen would be that you suddenly blew your stack and kicked him. [...]

([Joel:] “In the beginning, with the first example, before we filled and compounded the frustration, the charges, would you have recommended an action like saying, ‘come on, this is wrong and I have probably done this sort of thing myself, but this is wrong and it really bugs me and that we got to get up and get to work here, be honest with him at that level. [...]

Teaching will help him develop abilities in himself that are all for the good. If he is not allowed to teach the children’s classes, or to expand his abilities at the gallery, then he should look for outside work where he can use these abilities; for such experience is necessary for him, and will be used in his own work.

[...] I certainly would not want to get him angry at me, as I am so familiar with his explosive reactions.

From him, you instinctively knew that you would learn some awareness of passionate involvement. [...]

[...] This also now applies to Ruburt because of a discipline that you yourself helped him to achieve. [...]

[...] which meant more than mere ostracism but the complete isolation of a person from those belief systems, with nothing between him or her and those frightening realities.... [...]

[...] the characters in the stories did this for him in their own fashion.... [...]

[...] It was 9:00 by the time I got settled—and she still didn’t “feel him around”—meaning Seth, of course. [...]

You have been taught for centuries in one way or another that repression, generally speaking, now, was all in all a natural, good, social and moral requirement, that expression was dangerous and must be harnessed and channeled because it was believed so thoroughly that man’s natural capacities led him toward destructive rather than positive behavior. [...]

[...] He has tried expressing those abilities while feeling he needed all kinds of safeguards, both because he partially shared the belief that energy was dangerous, and because he also feared that other people would react to him in that fashion.

(Pause.) In one way or another, Ruburt always understood that his natural leanings led him in such directions. [...]

When you spoke to him this afternoon, telling him it was safe to relax, you helped break his isolation. [...]

[...] They unite and stimulate his creative abilities so that he does what comes naturally, easily and vitally to him, searching out his own view of reality—but in certain areas the intellect and the emotions begin to separate in their visions of the picture of the world. [...]

[...] We are trying to reassure him that relaxation is indeed a part of a creative process, and that it also makes all other motion possible. [...]

[...] This makes him feel more a part of normal living, and sets his own creative mechanisms more vigorously into new directions. The suggestions you gave him are excellent.

[...] It was, you see—I am explaining simply—too great a leap, if you will forgive me, to expect him to walk easily up his dentist’s steps at this point. [...]

The enjoyment, again, automatically means that for that time he is not worrying—and beside that, the physical activity gives his muscles more to do, and gives him a sense of physical accomplishment. [...]

By the time he realizes the truth of the second statement, neither crime nor punishment affect him.

The yoga will indeed benefit him. [...]

[...] The practice in bringing images into clear focus will help him do the same with inner information of a specific nature. [...]

(“I hope I didn’t confuse him this morning with our discussion.”

[...] This seemed to make him try to tackle her all the harder. [...] Jane paused and picked him up. Quickly she tossed him into the bathroom and closed the door.

[...] Well, according to him that old guy has lived and died many times. [...] And thanks us for what he learns as much as we thank him.

[...] (I told him more than once along the way that he’d better think twice—and more!— before taking on the job of publishing eight-to-ten books.) Jane died on September 5,1984, at the age of 55. [...]

It would be most handy for him after some thinking to draw up his own statements of the areas of his main concentrations. Generally speaking, anything outside of that area is not to be expected from him: he need not concern himself there. [...]

[...] Tam has requested that we send him a letter outlining our position re a competent professional translator of the French Seth Speaks. I was going to do the letter this weekend, but didn’t. I asked Jane if she would write the letter, and she agreed to. [...]

The term “psychic” is ill-defined, so he must define for himself the field of his activity, specify clearly for both of your sakes where his own strengths lie, and his intents, and what is to be expected of him and what is not. [...]

[...] The entire situation, however, bothered him deeply, since he felt of course a great sense of loyalty to you even when he did not share a your particular beliefs at any given point. [...]

[...] Ask him what is wrong when you are bothered with symptoms, and he will most certainly tell you that you are frightening him by dire imaginings that do not exist in his world. [...]

Now Ruburt has managed to find a platform, lately, that has allowed him a good deal of freedom from his usual worries. [...]

(“Man’s own subjective reality, in all of its manifestations [pause] is the only one real “tool” that will give him any indication of his own greater existence, and therefore of his own origins and that of the universe. [...]

[...] I’d always been interested in asking him about that, had we the time.)

Encourage him toward physical activity of a kind that in his physical condition challenges him enough, but is not beyond his physical means. [...]

[...] Partially it was the belief that women were more vulnerable, and the social conditions—Darwinian and Freudian concepts—that led him to accept that position, and all the material I have given fits in here. [...]

In that life women were expected to be decorative, and most of all compliant, so in his relationship to you, when Ruburt felt decorative or compliant, he felt you would have no use for him. [...]

[...] Ruburt looked up to you in those days as once you looked up to him. [...]

Again, man directs his existence through the use of his imagination — a feat that does distinguish him from the animals. [...]

[...] Even the idea of fate gave man something to act against, and roused him to action.

[...] Man’s imagination can carry him into those other realms — but when he tries to squeeze those truths into frameworks too small, he distorts and bends inner realities so that they become jagged dogmas.

[...] They will see the world in black-and-white terms again, with good and evil clearly delineated in the most simplistic terms, and thus escape a slippery, thematic universe, in which man’s feelings seemed to give him no foothold at all.

[...] Nearly three years from this time and a connection with a woman who may help him achieve it. [...]

[...] My friend has his problems and I would not want him put out of his comfortable shelter so that I would have to speak from the middle of a rainy field. [...]

[...] Unconsciously it reminds him of a physically vigorous, flexible self. [...]

He needs you at times to remind him that he can trust the body’s ancient wisdom—otherwise he would be in as good physical condition as you are. [...]

[...] He stood at the same time while you put his jacket on, something to him unthinkable a while ago. [...]

[...] The stool was no longer comfortable simply because his muscles were stretching further, but his fear at the seeming poor performance previously led him to some negative projections. [...]

[...] There is no need for him to go without glasses for any specific amount of time. When he feels, however, as he did today, like taking the glasses off, let him do so. [...]

One day in the bathroom Ruburt found his knees and toes impulsively moving rather quickly together, up and down, elevating him with some spontaneous ease. [...]

I am telling him that my forecast (in the deleted session for August 1, 1977) did take place, although the eyes’ alterations showed in spasmodic excellent behavior, rather than as steady better behavior. [...]

When man identified with nature, as given in Psyche, he did not imagine that the gods disapproved of him when storms lashed across the landscape. [...]

[...] He was not loyal, in those terms, to Walter Zeh, or he would still be with him. [...]

[...] I do my own part in these sessions, and if I may say so (highly amused:) very well indeed—and yet there is certainly something in Ruburt’s mind and abilities that allows him to speak, regardless, over the years, an immense amount of material, some of it highly detailed and orderly. [...]

[...] This got through to him.

[...] Some of the experiments in class gave him confidence, and I gave him confidence and a challenge. [...]

[...] The visual impression objectified it for him. [...]

[...] He is no threat to Aerofranz’s own personality but Aerofranz should not call upon him to help others until the psychological bridge of which I have spoken has a stronger foundation. [...]
