“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I came halfway in on an interesting little experiment that Ruburt tried on his own, and you can thank me that he came out of it so well. Really, Ruburt, I’m surprised at you. [...]

[...] In Ruburt’s case last January 10th the split was of the conscious level. Since Ruburt was unaware of causing the dissociation to begin with, he was unable to find his blundering way out.

[...] It is as if in Ruburt’s great experience the other night that the dissociated part of the personality donned another identity and battled with Ruburt’s own for dominance.

[...] Through means I cannot explain at this date I could not speak through Ruburt without you, and a kink in your own present personality would quite prevent me from communicating with you alone, if indeed Ruburt would allow it. [...]

I do not intend to let Ruburt in on any of my plans or intentions, as far as demonstrations are concerned. [...] If Ruburt had known what was in my mind, he would have been nervous and self-conscious.

At this point it would be difficult for Ruburt to know of the possibility of such a demonstration before any particular session. I am not ruling out for now any foreknowledge on Ruburt’s part.

[...] I am saying that I do not want Ruburt’s consciousness involved beforehand, and the nervous strain on Ruburt’s part of wondering how such events will come to pass must also be avoided.

And now I am going to give you an unheard of bonus, and close the session a trifle earlier, since Ruburt has been indisposed, and yet did not refuse to hold the session. [...] The material itself this evening was rather complex and Ruburt did allow it to come through, for which I shall give him the proverbial gold star.

[...] Show me, show me, show me, Ruburt. And here you see this: Because Mark has seen what Mark has seen, our Ruburt is dubious. [...]

[...] The book being prepared by Ruburt is coming along well. [...]

[...] I am still working with Ruburt in an attempt to make the sessions more congenial, although necessarily it takes a while for him to become accustomed to our new method of delivery.

Nor does Ruburt. [...]

Ruburt picked up the idea instead, and toyed with it. [...] Ruburt was astonished, and became more so at the spontaneous nature of his own and my creativity. [...]

You did not have the family concerns of children, as Ruburt mentioned. [...] (Long pause.) In the meantime, all of the issues we have mentioned as being connected with Ruburt’s symptoms of course were present to one extent or another, in abeyance. [...]

[...] To a lesser degree, Ruburt’s agility, his performance as a dancer and so forth, gave him the feeling that even physical achievements carried an ease that many did not possess. [...]

(Long pause at 9:30.) It might be fairly easy, Ruburt suspected, to become even contemptuous of others. [...]

[...] As Ruburt told you, I was here at the regular hour last night and aware of the happenings in the household. [...]

[...] Ruburt was dubious about a session with company present. [...]

[...] For that matter I welcome a witness, and it is time that you had one—for your own edification, not mine, and it should do my nervous pigeon Ruburt some good.

There are many times that our paths have crossed, and that is why I wanted you here, and why you happened onto the art gallery where Ruburt is employed. [...]

Now (leaning back on the couch, eyes closed): First, we will begin with Ruburt’s physical sensations. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s dreams have been helping him identify his own personal experience as he interpreted such beliefs in early life. [...]

[...] Some of last night’s dream material dealt with the ideas, again, of creativity—sometimes seen as harmless enough for children, as in the play Ruburt remembered taking part in his Catholic public school. [...]

The creativity for which Ruburt was praised as a child—the writing of his poetry, for example, became more and more frowned upon by the church as he became older, and in particular when the poetry contained concepts that did not fit Christian dogma. [...]

[...] The resulting exuberance and strength will be solidly based, and add to your overall happiness as well as Ruburt’s. All of these help him release his energy and focus it in the proper directions. This energy, used to solve your financial problem, or Ruburt’s financial problem, will yield rich benefits. Now to Ruburt: I am with you this evening, and to you both my heartiest wishes.

Ruburt’s habit is to direct his energies unstintingly focused in a more or less single direction. [...]

[...] It is imperative that Ruburt throw considerable energy into his idea for classes; whether in writing or in psychic matters, that all available, practically available time and effort be given here to such an endeavor; that it not be adopted halfheartedly.

The predictions concerning money were made before Ruburt’s energies were so misdirected, thrown so suddenly against himself, that even I was appalled. [...]

(10:13.) Now, Ruburt’s body is trying to right itself. [...] (Pause.) You are used to thinking of any bodily commotion as disruptive, and put it in the worst possible light, because your backgrounds have given you little experience in such situations—you, Ruburt, or anyone else, largely in your culture. [...]

Afterward, however, Ruburt does sense certain releases. [...]

The situation with Ruburt is such that conditions like the hand are transitory, as with other conditions that bothered him and left. [...]

I do not want to get into a long discussion on Ruburt this evening—but (with much humor) I will bring you an update shortly of a comprehensive nature.

The dreams are as Ruburt interpreted them, dealing with your feelings about prominence.

[...] Ruburt should like this, for the actress stands for your idealized version of Jane, as a star however in a different theater. [...]

(To Sue.) Now you will have to get through many of your own misconceptions, as Ruburt did, and you will fight, as Ruburt did, to maintain them but they are limitations. [...] Now our friend Ruburt put up a fine battle but it was sad to see for it was not necessary and neither is yours. [...]

(To Sue.) The other room exists simultaneously, as this room now exists, and your two friends are as closely connected as our Ruburt and Joseph. Ruburt was speaking of commitment, the commitment there is as complete. [...]

Now I give you my regards and to our visitors and now tell Ruburt what I said. [...]

[...] I would not presume to announce a break for Ruburt, there are some egotistical bounds of his, and I would not presume to upset him. [...]

[...] The fact remains that what we have done has been set clearly forth in the book that Ruburt has written. You can accept that, or you can deny it, and as far as Seth or Ruburt are concerned that is your right. [...]

And the time has come for you to experience fresh and new concepts and to find them within yourselves for the miracle of consciousness is your own as it is my own, or Ruburt’s own. [...]

To some extent Ruburt’s voice was your own voice, the voice of each of you leading you on journeys that you wanted to take. [...]

[...] That is up to her or to Ruburt. [...]

[...] Ruburt sensed this quite well in the past, and feared to open those channels until he felt himself suitably ready and prepared. There exists, in other words, what could almost be compared to a psychological and psychic warp in dimensions, (pause) and that corner in Ruburt’s personality is an apex point at which communication and contact can be made.

(Pause.) In terms of value fulfillment you see, Ruburt is trying to assimilate information that has already been gathered, the last several days being far more valuable in terms of inner growth. [...]

(Seth calls Jane “Ruburt” during trances, and also “he,” referring then to the sum of Jane’s reincarnations. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s readiness to do the kind of book he will now do was signaled by those episodes having to do with me in the dream book.

That led you, just below normal consciousness, to consider the relationship between father and daughter, and then to think of Ruburt’s father, Del. [...]

This also signified your knowledge on other levels that Ruburt was becoming free of any negative beliefs that were the result of his relationship with his father.

[...] Those feelings were also representative of Del’s redeemed love for his daughter — for Ruburt.

The dream signified your knowledge that Ruburt was being cleared of negative connotations in relationship to his father. [...]

[...] Ruburt has always been highly fascinated by both. [...]

[...] When Ruburt left that system intellectually some of the old bonding power remained, the emotional glue, but he no longer believed in the indulgences, the sacraments and so forth, so the Sinful Self was left fairly isolated, still believing to some extent that to “be good” it must be bad, but without the releases of guilt once provided by churchly help and belief. [...]

[...] For some time there was no direct challenge, however, made to the Sinful Self once Ruburt left the church. [...]

Beside this, people were reading our books, so to the Sinful Self Ruburt was leading those people astray (deliberately). [...]

Without going into reincarnational information just now: from this life Ruburt got into the habit of not physically expressing emotion. [...]

[...] Ruburt must act as if he has the resources, and then the resources show themselves. [...]

[...] This is where Ruburt gets confused. [...]

[...] Do not worry if the first time our Ruburt does not perform; nor should he, but cultivate the environment in which this is normal, and he will react to the stimuli.

[...] Both Ruburt and Frank Watts were experimenting. According to an individual’s abilities and development, he can change his focus so that it encompasses realities further and further from the concern of the ego, and in this Ruburt has come far. [...]

If I were such a secondary personality for example, I would have long ago discarded any semblance of concern for Ruburt’s own identity; and also the fear patterns of which I would have been composed would have long ago asserted themselves.

Nor would any intrinsically valuable information have come through, unless of course Ruburt had no strong, utilized creative outlets of his own. [...]

[...] It may happen spontaneously, as when a severe emotional reaction is set off; through external circumstances, and what Ruburt has read in the past along these lines is partially correct.

Involved with this simple statement, however, as background, all of the material I have given you should be at least somewhat understood, particularly the sessions Ruburt is working with in the late summer of 1980 onward. [...]

[...] At one level Ruburt’s physical difficulties exist as you learn a richer, more complex and profound expression. [...]

Let Ruburt attend, not to his book so much as to the ideas within it that give it meaning—and I bid you a fond good evening. [...]

[...] My best wishes also, Joseph, to Ruburt. [...]

Ruburt was correct. [...]

[...] When we are finished publishing Ruburt’s books and my books, we will have some library.

[...] I even have the chapter presentations; and if I mention my friends you may or may not recognize yourselves, for I shall present you through my own eyes and not through Ruburt’s.

Now: Ruburt may sometimes object to the terms used to describe his work. [...]

[...] Ruburt did not.

[...] In college only the body’s miraculous youth protected it when Ruburt did not eat properly, subsisted mainly on coffee and cigarettes, and went without proper sleep for months at a time.

Ruburt put his body on a strict survival level, giving it the barest of attention. [...]

Ruburt may be able to. [...] Ruburt is more used to working from the dream state and possibly could make connection. [...]

[...] You and Ruburt both will be involved in another period of rather concentrated psychic activity together as a main project, within a short time. [...]

[...] The third such point will find your individual activities heightened; spontaneous visions and occurrences for example on your part; generally better projections on Ruburt’s part, and heightened psy-time periods for you both. [...]

[...] In the meantime you will be assimilating the knowledge and experiences, and Ruburt will be writing about them.
