“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You have started the free association in a good and rousing fashion, so that Ruburt becomes consciously aware of some of his own attitudes that he has more or less become blind to. [...]

(4:48.) Remind Ruburt — in the meantime — that he is indeed a beloved daughter of the universe, and that his parents are as much the sea and sky as his physical parents. [...]

Your own touches of panic, and Ruburt’s blueness and fear, were both remnants of old habits, as both of you understand.

(Long pause.) Ruburt had a dream with excellent connotations, in which he looked through a beautiful old house of lovely carved wood and spacious rooms, and decided to move into the house, even though it was in an area that had previously nearly been condemned — signifying that he was indeed rising from beliefs that he condemned into a larger, spacious area of expression.

I agree with Ruburt that your letter is an excellent one (to Maude Cardwell). [...]

You and Ruburt interpreted the dream correctly—the idea being that nourishment can come in many different cans, or under many appearances—already prepared, already available and at hand, even though you may not at first realize the fact. [...]

Ruburt has been reading old poetry of his own, and he was appalled to find such beliefs in rather brutal, concentrated form. [...]

[...] There would have been no unofficial roads for Ruburt to follow, to lead him from the official beliefs of his time. [...]

As I have said before, Ruburt considers summer a time of vacations and beautiful distractions. [...]

[...] It exists in relationship to all the people within its boundaries, and Ruburt enjoys summer thoroughly, the cooler hours being used as a contrast.

You are doing well, and I will devote some time to Ruburt—but we will get back to the book once a week. [...]

[...] With time you and Ruburt would do well indeed to set up experiments in which you try to contact each other while you are in the dream state. [...]

Ruburt’s own experience, in maintaining his own identity independently, while also allowing me to speak through him, will be to his benefit. [...]

[...] Incidentally we are having a short session to give Ruburt a rest, and also to give you a rest, Joseph.

[...] I want to explain Ruburt’s sensations of the last few days.

[...] You noticed of course Ruburt’s energy suddenly materializing upon his return.

When Ruburt attempts his paintings he tries to catch the inwardness before its moment of construction, with the form not yet fully in appearance, but between. [...]

[...] Ruburt shows the inwardness, trying to express itself in form, the coming together at the point just before the physical event.

[...] Jane is not Seth now, he states, not his subconscious mind; nevertheless Jane’s entity Ruburt is, now, an extension and materialization of the Seth that he was at one time, centuries ago. [...]

I am afraid that I will have Ruburt continue with the shorter psychological time period again until our next session. [...]

[...] And for the present I am using Ruburt’s voice, making no effort to superimpose my own. [...]

[...] These senses are not magical, they certainly are not religious in any sense of the word, and I am not some degenerating secondary personality of Ruburt’s. Nor will I be compared with some long-bearded, beady-eyed spirit sitting on cloud nine.

[...] As far as Jane’s or Ruburt’s subconscious is concerned, I make contact with you through both of your subconsciousnesses (Jane’s pronunciation); but through that larger portion which actually exists between planes, which is the property of the mind, not the brain, and which deals with the inner senses. [...]

You asked me, or you meant to ask me, why this material was being given to you, that is to you and Ruburt. [...]

[...] It is difficult to describe him here, because of Ruburt’s associations. [...]

This is Ruburt’s interpretation of a crook. [...]

Now my friend Ruburt will not like this, and will object on general principles, but I am speaking on personalities and not necessarily on sexes. [...]

Now, I am prepared to go on, Joseph, but suggest that if necessary you help Ruburt out of the trance state. [...]

Ruburt’s physical performance today should convince you that the doors to normal physical motion are being unlocked. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s natural agility has been locked up, and is now being released. [...]

I am speaking to reassure Ruburt his temperature is a sign of healing as the body throws off what it does not need.

[...] Trust in the body automatically quickens all healing processes, and this session can put Ruburt’s mind at rest. [...]

I told you that in many ways Ruburt’s personality acts like a warp. [...]

These Seths, this entity, was once a part of old earth gods, as Ruburt wrote about them years ago.

[...] (Humorously:) They think that if they had their own Supersoul, they would have far better sense than Ruburt; and they would use me as if I were a magic genie. They are afraid that Ruburt might question me out of existence….” [...]

First, though, I’ll explain that in sessions Seth refers to Jane by her male entity name, Ruburt — and that he does so (as I quote him in Appendix 18) simply because “the given entity identifies itself more with the so-called male characteristics than with the female.” [...]

[...] I hope that [in those two books] through my dictation and through Ruburt’s and Joseph’s experiences, the reader can see the greater dimensions that touch ordinary living, and sense the psyche’s greater magic. [...]

[...] The books arose from probabilities, both yours and mine as well as Ruburt’s.

(In the 6th session, however, I made quite an intuitive remark: I told Jane I had the notion that Ruburt had once been Joseph. [...] After I made my statement about Ruburt and Joseph, Seth spelled out his reply through the board’s pointer as it moved quickly beneath our fingertips:)

[...] Ruburt has had enough for a night.

[...] Ruburt was correct: Lives are simultaneous. [...]

[...] The newly begun sessions already contained a number of unfamiliar terms and ideas: In the 4th session three days earlier, for instance, Seth had just given us our entity names [Ruburt for Jane, Joseph for me], and touched upon the psychic links connecting the three of us. [...]

For you look now at Ruburt. There are indeed, now, in this room there are five physical Ruburts. For each of you, including Ruburt, create and project your own image of him, and each of you perceive with your physical senses only that image of him which you have individually created.

I was, I was not here suggesting—far be it from me—to suggest that Ruburt give three sessions a week. [...]

[...] I will also add that this session is then itself action, and since it is action, it changes both those who attend it, Ruburt who delivers it, and I who give it.

(11:44.) The exercises and the motives behind them have activated many portions of Ruburt’s body, shaking them loose from long-held positions. [...]

2. A reminder: Seth usually calls Jane by her male entity name, Ruburt — and thus “he,” “him,” etc.
