“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Since I will not give a session simply to give a session, and because I will not let Ruburt parade me as part of his precious subconscious, I will indeed here speak for myself, but in terms that will help another and for the benefit of that other. And despite our anxious Ruburt’s furious attempts to block me, I will indeed say that the person who was once betrayed by the personality involved was the present father of the personality, and he knows it—

[...] Indeed much of this I gain for Ruburt through subconscious telepathy from the personality involved. [...] And if I sound dour and heavy-handed it is only because I must sometimes deal with Ruburt with a heavy hand.

You should know, and Ruburt should certainly know, that you form your own physical image in a most actual and practical manner, with all its defects, for your own reasons. [...]

[...] Now, as with Ruburt, oftentimes you believe you are allowing yourself intellectual freedom and being your most intellectual. [...] You are using it as a shield to prevent you from going further, and that is why I always take you up on it as I do the same thing with Ruburt. [...]

[...] If you do not take Ruburt’s word then at least listen to mine. [...]

[...] I have a warning for you—Ruburt is about to let his hair grow. [...]

[...] Now Ruburt’s mother was not there to serve as a restraining element. [...] Moreover, Ruburt did not feel it proper to project that role upon you any longer.

Ruburt interpreted Instream’s final attitude to mean that the psychologist had more or less by implication justified the mother’s frequent warning. The affair was not to be taken seriously as a psychic phenomena, and Ruburt with his either/or attitude then decided that it was time to apply controls.

[...] Ruburt’s mother, as mentioned earlier, had often told him that if he kept on as he was going he would lose his mind; and contacts with psychologists, when he feels they are testing him, brings up this old issue.

(11:11.) As to Ruburt, all systems are go—conditions are excellent (amused). [...]

[...] It is a natural recovery, a natural development in response to Ruburt’s intense desire now to be responsive.

[...] Ruburt became overly concerned, trying too hard. [...] If you both read your statements in the morning, and you and Ruburt read his together, that will help you program the day. [...]

I will not quibble with either of you, and I am not by any means justifying any of Ruburt’s methods, in the unfortunate restraint he has placed upon his body. [...]

(10:59.) Ruburt’s body is also a method of communication. [...]

(In talking about his voyages, Seth said that we would have to bear with Ruburt now, because Ruburt—Jane—knew very little about geography; this I can vouch for. [...]

[...] Seth told me I would become a very well-known painter; Ruburt, he said, knew nothing about artists’ agents or their locations in New York City, he said for the record, adding that there is an agent on 62nd street who can be of great help to me. [...]

[...] He now told me that the rock or stone impression was his error, and not Jane’s, or Ruburt’s.

[...] The projection takes place on both Ruburt’s part and my own, and represents a psychic displacement of a kind.

[...] At other times Ruburt may be projecting so well that his personality is relatively absent, and my projection in his place is relatively (underlined) complete.

[...] it is the part of Ruburt with which I normally work.

[...] It has taken me some while before I could manage to get our friend Ruburt (Jane) here.

I am very pleased to meet you (to F. Fell), and since you are the one who published Ruburt’s book, I thank you. [...]

[...] Now, if you have any questions that you would like to ask me concerning my relationship with Ruburt, or myself, feel free to ask them.

[...] I dare not keep my friend Ruburt too long, for I have put him through his paces this week indeed. [...]

I still do not understand, however, why earlier Ruburt whispered and why these long serious faces as we sit about the table. [...]

I will not again, since I have put Ruburt through so much this week, I will not speak loudly. [...]

I choose to speak on such issues this evening because it is highly important that you are both assured that Ruburt’s physical condition can indeed improve, and furthermore that it is improvement. [...] Ruburt’s finger is, after all, healing itself. [...]

Now: this is the present state of Ruburt’s body. [...]

I agree with Ruburt’s interpretation given on his body status, then. [...]

[...] First of all, the “prayer” in quotes that I gave for Ruburt is tailored to his own needs, and will therefore be quite effective. [...]

[...] Ruburt can also follow this advice. [...]

This applies to you then in your way, as well as to Ruburt in his way. [...]

[...] Ruburt reacts to the reassurance that you feel.

Ruburt’s list about what he will do when he is completely well is a good idea. [...]

[...] Now, for example: so as not to bother you, Ruburt made it a point of conscience to speak to your mother on the phone for you, and not call you, when he did not want to do so. [...]

When Ruburt is finished with his own book and I am done with mine, a vacation should come in any case, and will be not only acceptable but most beneficial.

[...] The habit of thinking, again, is the point here—Ruburt’s pattern of thinking.

Now Ruburt’s weight gain is a prerequisite for continuing improvement, and happened also once in the past before the more recent negative aspects. [...]

(“Why is it that in cases of specific information, such as names, dates, places, etc., you [or Jane or Ruburt] will often delay giving the answer. [...] I have often noticed in such cases that if I don’t insist in the following sessions, the subject in question will not be voluntarily referred to again by you [or Jane or Ruburt.]”

If the impetus on your parts is not that strong, or if fear operates, if Ruburt is afraid for example, of being put to a “test”, in quotes, then of course the proper stimulus is not present. [...] Ruburt’s own change of attitude will be of great benefit to us from here on however, and such incidents will diminish.

[...] There is some instability of elements this evening, having to do with a natural, overall change taking place in Ruburt—a beneficial one, I add hastily (humorously); but his system is in a state of change.

[...] In that reality Joseph did not marry Ruburt. And in this reality [the one you and Ruburt know] Ruburt instinctively felt apart from that house.

I made it clear that the decision rested with Joseph and Ruburt. [...] Both he and Ruburt have thought relatively little about money or social status. [...]

[...] In his book Adventures in Consciousness, Ruburt mentions what he calls “prejudiced perception.’’¹ It is an excellent term in this regard.

(Smile.) First of all however, a small note to our friend Ruburt. [...] It would be best indeed if Ruburt imagined that you were working out of the house, and he should be able to do this.

—since Ruburt usually makes a serious effort to follow my suggestions.

[...] That is, beside Ruburt. [...]

[...] When Ruburt’s book is published the fact of the sessions will be known. [...] I make no effort to direct Ruburt’s writings in any manner. What Ruburt has said in his book has been up to him, and therefore we have to deal with the results.

[...] I have some difficulties with Ruburt’s own rather stubborn attitude at times; but we must also take this into consideration, and so we shall.

For Ruburt’s and Joseph’s sakes, I stayed well within the bounds of propriety. [...]

Ruburt was correct. [...] Later, a woman dies who is well-known to a group of people who are with Ruburt. The woman represents Ruburt’s old beliefs, the woman that he was, so to speak. All that are immediately salvaged are the inner organs, which Ruburt symbolically washes clean in a ritual indicative of washing away old beliefs, and of washing the inner organs clean—the act of inner cleanliness. [...]

Let Ruburt take a break, and I will return at least briefly. [...]

[...] People’s ideas about Ruburt’s condition are changing, and you are receiving favorable results and feedback, of course. [...]

[...] The change of schedule is a good idea this week, because it will get Ruburt used to the idea of using freedom again, before your vacation starts, and will therefore offset possible symptoms. [...]

[...] Ruburt should not visit his mother however, nor waste any time wondering about the matter.

[...] The same sort of activity last summer could have broken Ruburt’s pattern sufficiently enough to prevent the severity of the past difficulties. [...]

Ruburt should continue as he has been, and further blocks of symptoms will drop away. [...] The experiments with the table only represent a beginning for Ruburt. [...]

Ruburt’s poem is of help to him, springing as it did from both levels of his personality. [...]

The suggestions Ruburt has written down are excellent, and are helping considerably. [...]
