“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(12:02 AM.) A few notes for him (Ruburt) then.... [...]

There is other material pertaining to you and Prentice, and Ruburt has his old habits—but for now we will let it rest. [...]

Now, I am here to welcome back a certain member of our group who had to leave the group for several reasons—and read me correctly in this particular instance where my friend Ruburt did not read me correctly (addressed to Rachel). [...]

[...] I understand that Ruburt was not too jovial last week. [...]

[...] It is Ruburt who is in a Jane trance most of the time. [...]

There is an abundance of energy available this evening for several reasons, and I will help Ruburt’s body utilize much of it. Ruburt mentioned your dream contest. [...]

As yourself, you were the observer of the conflict, which took place at the table where Ruburt’s conversations with you took place, and his conversations with Tam over the telephone. [...]

They have been conservative in many ways—but neither have they exploited Ruburt’s abilities, and neither have they made any attempt to tamper with the message, and some houses would have. [...]

There are some reincarnational connections involving Tam, but the overall important point is that in its way, Prentice has attempted to maintain the books’ integrity, and not made any effort to distort the message, to sensationalize it, as for example the Bantam covers, or to personally exploit Ruburt, yourself, or the situation. [...]

You certainly frightened our rabbit Ruburt this evening. [...]

Ruburt might benefit from sketching, as he planned. [...]

[...] It is not Mark, necessarily, only that the unobtrusive but frequent, informal exchange between you and Ruburt and a close friend from the outside world has been lacking. [...]

While your relationship, that is the relationship between you and Ruburt, is extremely helpful to you both, you have a tendency, each of you, to become ingrown; and psychically you do need a variety, influx and the diversified data subconsciously obtained from others, as you also add to their influx.

With Ruburt rising in the night, sometimes you vaguely worried whether or not he could navigate properly and sometimes when you are out of the house you also wonder: is he safe alone? Your dream brought your fears to the surface of your mind, and when those fears became conscious both of you determined to show yourselves that Ruburt was indeed safe and protected. [...]

When Ruburt allows his body to relax, it uses the opportunity while it has it, so that the relaxation seems exaggerated. [...]

[...] In Ruburt’s natural, quite periodic rhythm of creativity, he writes rather steadily, exuberantly, and inspired. [...]

[...] I never want to overemphasize any of your attitudes, but Ruburt has become so used to not trusting the body that even such signs of healing can upset him.

You can request before you sleep that you rest mainly in Framework 2. Ruburt’s body has been trying to relax all day. [...]

Do have Ruburt ask the natural Jane (Jane one) what to do when there are difficulties, so that the natural self at least gets a chance to give an opinion. [...]

The natural person uses creative abilities spontaneously, and those abilities, as I have said often, will show themselves both in the area of Prentice and in the area of Ruburt’s physical condition when you allow them play and leeway. [...]

True questioning and true use of the critical faculties will always lead Ruburt, to intuitional truths, so there is no reason to fear them. [...]

[...] An excellent example presents itself in the manner that Ruburt utilizes intellectual and intuitional knowledge in his poetry. [...]

[...] As Ruburt thrusts ahead, trusting his ability in his poetry, so he should in his psychic work, and now in vigorous physical activity. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s condition now is his challenge, for in overcoming it he overcomes limitations of which he was not aware before. [...]

We will resume dictation, and the following session should be particularly taken to heart by Ruburt (intently).

(4:45.) Read this to Ruburt once a day for several days, and it will also be of help to you.

The session should, on its own, clear up some of Ruburt’s difficulties and increase his pleasures.

[...] “Ruburt’s range is an excellent one, and the plane of reality in which I have my existence is far beyond those to which persons in the physical system usually have access. … You and he must see to it that Ruburt does not color his experiences through reading material that is distorted. [...]

“There is a peculiar corner within Ruburt’s personality, also deflected into your own, that allows him rather clear access to informational channels most difficult to reach from your system. [...] Ruburt sensed this in the past, and feared to open these channels until he felt himself suitably ready.

“The Inner Senses, to some extent, will allow you to perceive the reality of inner existence, and in this new development Ruburt is using these in a more effective manner than before. [...] This gives Ruburt a feeling of strangeness.”

“While I was the source of the material [in the last sessions], Seth, as you think of him, was at times a silent partner, helping Ruburt make the proper translations, while stepping aside in a personal manner. Earlier [in previous sessions] Seth interpreted material from me so that Ruburt could receive it.

(To Sissy.) Now, may I give particular greetings to a friend of Ruburt’s over there in the corner. [...]

(To Mary Ellen.) You knew what the message would be before you came here on a subconscious basis and Ruburt, all unaware, has already delivered it to you, and it was in his terms to cool it because spontaneity must progress at its own rate and feel comfortable in both physical reality and inner reality. [...]

Now, if there ever was a puritan remark it was the one that just escaped our friend, Ruburt’s lips, for in his mind still, you see, you must have this purpose and be active and it is wrong to simply go back to bed for no better reason than that you want to go back to bed. [...]

(To Sue.) I scarcely feel the need to speak to you since I have spoken to you so often in the dream state and thankfully, from Ruburt’s standpoint, you remembered at least one occasion when such communications were taking place, and when you both recorded them. [...]

Our Ruburt is indeed relaxing, having just finished his book, and he has my congratulations.

[...] The reasons are fairly simple, for this field is one in which Ruburt’s innermost energies and interests are already rooted.

[...] Ruburt was simply not confident enough in the Father Trainor episode last evening to adequately perform the inner manipulations necessary, without your presence. [...]

We will see now what we can do with your own little test, and with our friend Ruburt.

[...] For Ruburt to try to publish usual novels, for example, would not work: he has outgrown the formulas. [...] So in searching out new ways, personally and creatively, Ruburt felt himself on insecure ground. [...]

Ruburt’s feelings of physical mobility are to some extent connected with his feelings of creative mobility—that is, the connections are strong. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Some is difficult to explain clearly, because Ruburt wanted to make sure of the validity of the sessions from the start, and because of other material given in the past, he did not fully accept the sessions or his own psychic abilities as an integral part of his personality—since they appeared relatively late in life, where the poetry, for example, had always more or less been apparent. [...]

Your feelings presently that Ruburt is on the brink of being bedridden are —mainly now—the results of negative conditioning—they seem very realistic. [...]

[...] I am here using an incident from the experience of Ruburt and Joseph, but the reader can make his or her own correlations, and discover like events from which the same conclusions can be drawn.

[...] On impulse, Joseph had Ruburt call the real estate firm whose sign was on the house. [...]

[...] Though the price was quite high, Ruburt and Joseph thought about buying it, and were taken through the home by the real estate people. [...]

[...] Joseph and Ruburt were also shown a second house in Sayre — one a good deal cheaper, but generally much like the one in which Joseph’s mother lived in this life. [...]

[...] Seth, talking about physical effects, said that he could probably have levitated the small coffee table we sat around tonight, with Ruburt’s help. But Ruburt still needs to develop his abilities further, Seth said. [...] Seth went on to say that the candle flame would not grow higher again, because Ruburt was alerted to the effect now, and was watching it.

[...] Ruburt’s confidence is the big factor. This restriction to home grounds is a very temporary one, and later Ruburt can deal with objects at a greater distance.

(Seth slipped in some personal material on Walter Zeh before “Ruburt catches me in the act.” [...]

[...] The problem here is getting the information through Ruburt, without distortion. [...]

First of all, it is because Ruburt was relaxed and open to his impulses that you have today’s information. [...]

[...] Had you been relaxed, following your impulses, and unhampered by the fearful beliefs that your friend’s condition also aroused, then those cellular messages would have been smoothly translated into an impulse to call Leonard, or to have Ruburt call. [...]

Ruburt actually followed through for you—not realizing this consciously, by finally calling Leonard this morning, when he discovered that Leonard had been feeling poorly, off and on during the same time that you had your difficulties, and that Leonard was looking for someone to do an errand (buy a thermometer). [...]

Actually, Ruburt had thought of calling before, but also did not for fear of aggravating your own situation. [...]

(11:10.) There should be considerable improved functioning noticeable in Ruburt’s body—some considerable lack of habitual restraint in motion occurring, say, as affairs now stand, anywhere from now to a week or ten days.

[...] Ruburt should try for more substantial snacks in the evening, and the out-of-body ideas as applied to Peggy Gallagher are good. [...]

(4:27.) Now, you can indeed expect further improvements with Ruburt’s eyes and sight. [...] The massage that you gave Ruburt briefly this afternoon, in the neck areas, is extremely beneficial—not only to his entire condition, but specifically beneficial to his sight. [...]

You are both doing very well, and Ruburt’s dream—the one in which he looked at his face in a mirror—was excellent, and already shows a change of belief that will be most beneficial. [...]

[...] The love travels in both directions, however, so that as you touch Ruburt’s body his love for you is also transmitted to you, even as your love is transmitted to him —so you are dealing with a very basic and vital kind of communication. [...]

(10:54.) Now Ruburt, because of his beliefs, “artificially” disciplined his muscles so that he would be forced to concentrate upon what it seemed you and he both thought was most important in life—your work.

[...] It is up to Ruburt personally, and to the two of you jointly, as to whether or not you want to make that effort.

Ruburt’s balance has completely changed in a week, so that his weight can now fall on his heels. [...]

The need is a sexual one—your sweet tooth—for your sexual feelings have been rearoused by your intimate encounters with Ruburt, even while neither of you thus far have even been willing to devote time to sexual gratification in the deepest terms.

[...] Ruburt deals with the interior world the way most people deal with the exterior one. [...] In Ruburt’s other books his critical prose frames interior events, but in Dialogues there is no such frame. [...]

Your portrait of Ruburt, for example, appealed to many people who did not appreciate your abstracts. [...]

(11:42.) Now Ruburt has been concentrating upon the symptoms, imagining this or that, often not responding to the moment as it is, but to imagined future events and moments filled with threat or difficulty. [...]

Ruburt’s head was the very earliest portion of the body affected in terms of sinus. [...]

[...] He simply picked up Ruburt’s feelings, now, which are strong, and Ruburt’s growing vehemence of intent. In a way these were not directed at the cat, yet Ruburt also knew the cat would pick them up.

[...] Ruburt has decided to leave the house more often, and be free to go outside whenever he² wishes — not to spend so much time inside because of his work. [...]

[...] Ruburt is beginning now to itch to go out, but it is the cat who itches.

[...] Not that Ruburt need regulate his, but that his distraction or impatience causes the cat to overreact.
