“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Many of these Ruburt has now come to, and others he is nearly upon. [...] Tell Ruburt to think of health like money, and he will have much of it, for in that area he is clear now. [...]

[...] Ruburt is aware of the feeling. [...]

[...] Feel that energy surround Ruburt also with health.

[...] Ruburt’s condition is (underlined) no excuse for either of you. [...]

[...] It is important also that you as well as Ruburt look at your beliefs as beliefs. [...] The developments just mentioned with Ruburt represent an inner breakthrough of body beliefs that will automatically bring forth others. [...]

Some improvements, again, have begun, barely noticed: the additional mobility in the morning, when a short while ago Ruburt would sit for an hour or more after breakfast while you brought him his second cup of coffee. [...]

Your performances last evening are of great value from both of your standpoints, showing Ruburt the body’s capacity for joy, while each of you used mobility of feeling to express your emotions in a physical way.

Following your work so far with the book, Ruburt is learning to separate his body beliefs from his concepts of rockbed reality—to question them. [...]

[...] Now: Seven can be counted upon, as Ruburt knows; and Sumari physicians are assisting. [...] Ruburt’s state of consciousness is different when he approaches Seven.

[...] Ruburt does not have to displace himself to the same degree that he does in our sessions, so he is more aware of (three dots) . [...] If certain other beneficial alterations occur, and further understanding on Ruburt’s part, we may be able to meet at other levels of consciousness, in the dream state, when he is not cooperating in the production of our material. [...]

Ruburt is just beginning his own dream endeavors—which could not seriously begin until he learned to have faith in his own being. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s inner image has completely changed in the past month—of course, a necessary preliminary. [...]

The man who was bothered by epilepsy did Ruburt a service and Ruburt definitely helped him; but there in dramatic fashion Ruburt saw how beliefs operated, and through helping the individual also saw the best ways he could help himself and others as well. [...]

All is progressing at its own rate, however, and tell Ruburt to trust this. [...] Ruburt is being released. [...]

[...] The apartment house provided a structure in which Ruburt—

Now: The framework provided an outside structure of nonchalant interactions with people, so that even when Ruburt was tempted to withdraw there was some exterior stimuli present. [...]

Last week Ruburt did fairly well. [...] Ruburt’s legs activated themselves in rather strenuous fashion in bed. [...]

[...] At Ruburt’s last visit to your dentist, both of you decided that his position was embarrassing, that it put you both in a bad light, that his condition spoke of invisible defects. Ruburt was frightened of going, had a very difficult time with the stairs, but made them. [...]

You both thought Ruburt should hide in the house. You were too proud to show your defects, because in your eyes such defects are so horrendous, and Ruburt’s condition becomes the symbol for all of man’s physical distress, in your eyes.

(10:35.) Have Ruburt use last week as a basic model of operation, while adding to it. You can help when you are feeling confident enough, by reminding Ruburt when you see that he is bothered, that his body is healing itself. [...]

You forget Ruburt’s literal-mindedness, and you overlook it. [...]

[...] There is a difference between saying “we danced,” to Ruburt, regardless of how well he danced, and the belief that he could not dance at all. [...]

[...] You are, Joseph, now, able to see many of Ruburt’s negative concepts, but you are blind still to many of your own. [...]

[...] These freedoms used, particularly in view of Ruburt’s literal-mindedness, would do much to weaken the beliefs in powerlessness that exist.

[...] Ruburt considers his writing a part of him. [...]

[...] In very important issues, both you and Ruburt are in excellent health. [...]

So is Ruburt in all areas, except that one upon which he has concentrated negatively, and given up trust. [...]

Ruburt has always taken it for granted that his organs functioned well, the living organs upon which survival is dependent. [...]

Ruburt concentrated, however, on the eye discomfort. [...] Ruburt’s eyes also felt considerably easier.

Now—I see that it is nip and tuck with you both right now, so I will begin with Ruburt’s condition and allied matters—important ones.

Ruburt’s students upset him considerably yesterday. [...]

Ruburt was quite instantly aware of his own reaction, and the several hours it took him to regain some sense of confidence. [...]

(To me:) Because you are so drawn to Ruburt, there is the struggle to actualize your emotions toward him in daily life. [...] Part of your artistic impetus does come from this inhibited emotion, but fresh impetus is received when the emotion is allowed to go outward toward Ruburt; and through Ruburt, acting as a symbol to you, to the world at large.

Now in many ways this applies to Ruburt also. [...] (Smile.) Without your feeling toward Ruburt and the resulting urge to emotionally actualize yourself to another personality, your background could have prevented even artistic development. [...]

The personal matters, questions, affairs of daily concern, that may be mentioned because Ruburt’s emotional image triggers their inclusion—these will always be used as examples to give you material that you would receive in any case.

[...] Oftentimes however you do receive information that you may not have received ordinarily until a later date, simply because Ruburt’s emotional interest acts as a trigger.

[...] You have a good understanding of reincarnation that Ruburt has lacked, yet that has been counterbalanced by a disinclination to encounter personalities directly in contact in the present. Ruburt would do that, while closing off reincarnational aspects because of possible past emotional content.

Now this is because Ruburt did not want to encounter his own past emotional history in this life. [...] This reaction however helped Ruburt to overcome his blocks against reincarnational aspects, and so each of you help the other in that regard.

(11:38.) The paper Ruburt wrote this evening is pertinent, and highly significant. [...]

Elements in your lives were seen as negative simply because Ruburt was not sure of himself. [...]

The response of relaxation after the first session in fact helped set the stage for the better functioning that Ruburt noticed in various areas of the body this evening. [...] Nevertheless the suggestions you gave at that session allowed particular muscles a further but unnoticed relaxation—also contributing to the neck release Ruburt felt this evening.

Try to forget all notions that Ruburt might relax so suddenly that he would be in difficulty —not able to get about, say. [...] That is exactly what Ruburt has feared, relaxing, so such ideas seem to confirm such needless worries to some degree.

[...] This was the result of your own suggestions, for you said that Ruburt’s body would continue to relax as he slept.

[...] Some of the relaxation was not apparent, either, until Ruburt began to use his body. [...]

[...] Your help, again, with the suggestions is invaluable in terms of your loving active aid—but also because you are convincing yourself that you live in a safe universe, so that Ruburt does not feel that he must battle for himself and for you. [...] There is an inner logic involved in Ruburt’s recovery—and now there is no doubt of it.

(10:39.) Now: Ruburt early saw your prejudice against galleries. [...]

[...] Ruburt knew that the adventure required a finesse, a juggling of realities, and he felt a maturity or wisdom that his years had not given him. [...]

Ruburt not only had his intents, but your own in mind. [...]

A meeting with Dr. Instream will build up Ruburt’s confidence, in that he will feel that he knows with whom he is dealing. I know, but Ruburt needs to feel a friendly reinforcement on the doctor’s part.

Our main problem is simply Ruburt’s own confidence, or lack of it. [...]

Such a meeting would help to set Ruburt at ease.

Now, for ourselves: Ruburt must work some things through on his own, as he knows. [...]

The church was quite real to Ruburt as a child, through the priests who came [to the house] regularly, through direct contact with the religious [grade] school, and the support offered to the family. Ruburt’s very early poetry offended Father Boyle, who objected to its themes, and who burned his books on the fall of Rome, so he had more than a hypothetical feeling about such issues. [...]

(Long pause at 9:37.) Ruburt had considerable difficulty with church doctrine even then, and the rules of the order as actually carried out through practice were later considered to hold their own seeds of heresy. Ruburt was forced to leave the order that he had initiated, as an old woman. [...]

Ruburt’s nightmare experience (of March 8) is a beautiful example of the kind of explosive emotional content that many people carry, fairly hidden, representing certain taboos, translated of course in individualistic manners. [...]

[...] All of those factors were involved in one way or another in the fabric of Ruburt’s nightmare material. [...]

Ruburt has a condition brought about my inhibiting physical impulses, and therefore body motion. [...] The negative suggestions in such books as the ones Ruburt is considering buying would not help him.

[...] Psychically she has met Daisy (the deceased wife of my mother’s brother Frank), and is in connection with Ruburt. [...] Tell Ruburt that others helped his mother as he helps yours.

Now: when Ruburt worked out for money his ideas and beliefs concerning work were divorced from his ideas about creativity.

[...] Ruburt hoped his talent would bring him some kind of magical translation of his father’s supposed wealth. [...]

When Ruburt on the couch sensed himself in the chair giving a session, to himself on the couch, this was symbolic of a new kind of relationship between the two of us. At the same time it illustrated part of our relationship as it happens in sessions, in which Ruburt allows a portion of himself to step aside. [...]

[...] There, Ruburt was inside the image that he had projected. [...] In the first experience then Ruburt projected an image outward and his consciousness entered it, then he had a session by the same mechanics we always use. [...]

Now: Ruburt had a different kind of experience lately. [...]

[...] At another level however Ruburt was projecting a portion of his psyche outward, and from his own position viewing us at least to some extent.

It is true that Ruburt’s health will show definite improvements. [...] Ruburt, incidentally, will be in good shape by then. [...] Good night, Ruburt, you soldier, you.

Ruburt’s subconscious has been thrown into a panic, and indeed feels cheated, since it had been preparing itself for the May 9 date, particularly since that date was mentioned here. But Ruburt may as well now continue with this heroic endeavor, although I fear that it will cost us this session. [...]

I am having some few difficulties here, with our balky Ruburt, but I presume we can handle it.

He, Ruburt, feels so deprived. [...]

I am not and never will, set Ruburt up or you up, Joseph, as any kind of superior beings, sacred in any way that all men and women are not sacred. If you and Ruburt have certain abilities to perceive, receive, translate and communicate that which some others cannot, many also have other abilities that neither of you do have.

I am certainly not a conglomeration of vaguely-defined creative aspects of Ruburt’s personality, that struggle for release. Ruburt’s own array of writings, published and unpublished, should testify that he needs no added creative outlet.

There is no invasion of Ruburt’s mind or subconscious on my part. [...] My name for him is Ruburt, which happens to be a male name simply because the name is the closest translation, in your terms, for the name of the whole self or entity, of which he is now a self-conscious part.

[...] Ruburt has been reading Jung, though not consistently. [...]

Any other ways that Ruburt can increase his daily enjoyment will also help. [...] If you do follow my suggestions concerning Framework 2, given this evening, your own experiences will lead to other creative ideas involving Ruburt’s condition, sales, and creative activity. [...]

[...] Let me try again to explain a few points, mainly concerning Ruburt’s condition.

[...] Certain postures were allowed, certain motions, and not others, as if Ruburt operated his body as though it were a puppet, keeping it in certain ritualized motions by holding the strings too tightly.

[...] The eyes did not roll easily, but since no attempt was made to roll them, the restriction was not noticed, except when Ruburt tried to roll his eyes when they were closed, for an exercise once or twice.

[...] Ruburt is clear also. [...] During hay fever season Ruburt should use a diluted (underlined) ammonia household cleaner.

We will begin with Ruburt. [...]

Fortunately Ruburt benefited, for he learned. [...]

[...] On Ruburt’s part this time it was additional knowledge. [...]
