“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] But I speak through Ruburt, and Ruburt is himself and I am myself, yet without your support of Ruburt I could not speak. This in no way minimizes my reality, or Ruburt’s. So your father’s use of his own energies does not minimize what he is, nor his overall sense of direction.

(Smile.) Joseph… Ruburt does not have to ask me questions. [...]

[...] Your entity is older than your father’s. You and Ruburt and I have been connected many times. [...]

We are doing well with Ruburt. [...]

Above all, Ruburt must not concentrate upon what is wrong. [...]

Often Ruburt has not been in touch with his own feelings, but would try to intellectualize many away. [...]

[...] Ruburt transferred those fears to society at large. [...]

[...] Ruburt was not taught to love himself as a child, and thought of his talents as a way of justifying his existence — an existence of somewhat suspicious nature, he felt, since his mother told him often that he was responsible for her own poor health.

For all of his and your complaining, you understand in rather good measure the decisions and actions that motivate your lives, so that Ruburt is more than usually aware of the manipulations that psychologically and physically lie just beneath the material usually carried by what is ordinarily called the conscious mind. [...]

[...] For many people—most people—carry on the same kind of procedures while making important decisions as to whether or not they will continue life at any given time—but they hide the issues from themselves far more than Ruburt did.

[...] With Ruburt they carried a psychic and physical logic and economy, being obvious at so many different levels of actuality. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Ruburt is now far more willing to make certain changes in his life than he was earlier, and he sees himself more as one of a living congregation of creatures—less isolated than before, stripped down from the superperfect model, and therefore no more under the compulsion to live up to such a psychological bondage (all with some emphasis). [...]

(Long pause at 8:01.) In a manner of speaking, the sinful self created the superhuman self-image that demanded so much, and it encased Ruburt’s body as if in concrete. Well, that image cracked and crumbled in the hospital experience, leaving Ruburt with his more native, far more realistic image of himself. [...] Ruburt kept turning down his thermostat, so to speak. [...]

[...] Remember that in the following excerpts Seth—who claims to be discarnate—calls Jane by her male “entity name,” Ruburt, and thus “he” and “him.”)

For all of your complaining (Seth told us with some humor at 8:56), you understand in rather good measure the decisions and actions that motivate your lives, so that Ruburt is more than usually aware of the manipulations that psychologically and physically lie just beneath the material usually carried by what is ordinarily called the conscious mind. [...]

[...] But they hide the issues from themselves far more than Ruburt did.

[...] Ruburt did not stress this in his interpretation, which was otherwise excellent.

Ruburt wanted to make sure that he was right. [...]

[...] It would also begin (underlined) to give you a feeling for the magical support that upholds you both, and your lives — the support that Ruburt can count upon, and that can bring about the solution to his physical difficulties. [...]

[...] It is quite proper for Ruburt’s intellect to understand this, and to say, simply now, “That is not my realm. [...]

[...] This is the cause of Ruburt’s sense of disorientation.

[...] All of this is connected with the genetic information that any individual receives from the biological bank that belongs to the species at large, and from the inner reincarnational bank.¹ We will see that Ruburt receives the information that he needs at the necessary levels, so that the material can be verbalized. [...]

[...] On his own levels also, Ruburt is (underlined) undergoing rather accelerated healing processes—you might say at microscopic levels.

[...] That relationship was also responsible for [your] eye improvements, and Ruburt was able to perceive differences in you before you were aware of them at all.

Now I am not going to stay with you too long since I have put my friend Ruburt through the ropes this week. [...]

[...] I am indeed myself as usual however in excellent spirits and if Ruburt were not restraining me then you would not have to listen so hard to hear what I say. [...]

[...] You had better send it to Ruburt however. [...]

[...] Your mental images are therefore of course very important, and two of Ruburt’s of a negative nature have been broken down. [...]

[...] Ruburt hit on an idea yesterday, and forgot it: he mentally pretended that he was skiing. [...]

[...] If you give the suggestions then to Ruburt, they must be suggestions you believe in. [...]

[...] For Ruburt’s benefit, I have made no promises that I cannot keep. I cannot force, and will not attempt to force, Ruburt to accept my independent structure on a conscious level. [...]

[...] It is natural that Ruburt was startled when he heard the way he sounds when he allows me to speak.

First however I would like to speak briefly about Ruburt’s attempts at telepathy with Philip last evening. [...]

Now, concerning Ruburt’s second dream. [...]

[...] Ruburt is not ready for them yet. [...]

[...] At the same time the dream generated sufficient energy to lift Ruburt and his moods from a slavery to physical events. [...]

We see that Ruburt is trying too hard outside of our sessions.

[...] On a subconscious basis Ruburt actually suggested his recent levitation dreams, with most effective results. [...]

[...] Our results will depend to a large degree upon the development of Ruburt’s abilities, and upon his own confidence. [...]

Ruburt does allow himself this freedom, until he begins to brood about it. [...]

The dietary methods given in the book Ruburt read have indeed worked for many, and for the following reasons: as you suspected, a kind of conversion was attained. [...]

[...] Ruburt does not take to citrus fruits. [...]

[...] You felt that Ruburt was coming along well. [...]

Now Ruburt is doing well. [...]

Ruburt’s interpretation this evening of his condition was correct, however. [...]

[...] The curtains, the old ones, represented now areas of belief and attitudes held by others which Ruburt disagreed with, but to which he acquiesced out of concern for other people’s opinions. [...]

[...] My words for Ruburt are enclosed within the session. [...]

Have Ruburt read this session well. [...]

Of course, I agree with the ideas of which you have just spoken, Joseph—and I have several suggestions for Ruburt. [...]

[...] Instead, have him imagine comments by others, such as you or a doctor or a friend, expressing their delight and amazement because Ruburt is walking (softly). [...]

[...] You breathe whether or not you understand how breathing happens—so remind Ruburt that he must get to the point where he realizes that walking is as easy as writing a book, or thinking a thought, or having a session. [...]

Ruburt’s reaction to the doctor’s visit this morning does indeed show the hold that old beliefs can have, and the panicky feelings they can arouse. [...]

Ruburt did make an attempt to rid himself of those feelings, however, by speaking of them to you, thus expressing them, and by reminding himself of our sessions and of his own physical improvements. [...]

This is also connected with Ruburt’s condition. [...]

By all means, continue to review our sessions, and you can expect further improvements on Ruburt’s part, as we continue with these practices. [...]

[...] Have Ruburt forget what a writer or a psychic is supposed to be or not to be. Ruburt’s spontaneity let all of his creative abilities emerge. [...]

[...] I tell you that no agency in the environment brought about that change (intently), because, Ruburt’s earlier romantic poetry to the contrary, that change did not occur. [...]

Ruburt believed he must impose a secondary kind of order upon his creativity and spontaneity. [...]

[...] (Whispering:) Ideas change the chromosomes, but the sessions and Ruburt’s books, and so forth, must first and foremost be joyful expressions of creativity, spontaneous expression that fall into their own order. [...]

I would heartily suggest that you and Ruburt consider (underlined) the possibility of buying Paul’s cottage. [...]

In a fashion this would indeed represent a very desirable arrangement over a period of years, one that Ruburt could take advantage of, one that could serve you by also presenting you with a different framework through which to view your painting and visual world, one in which the idea of water as motion was always present. [...]

(9:00 during a rather steady, emphatic delivery.) Man has within him the need to rest and to explore, to stay by “the hills of home,” (from Thomas Wolfe), and to explore beyond them, but such a relatively accessible second environment does have certain advantages for you and Ruburt over those it sometimes presents for others, and such a willingness to explore the probability alone can give you some excellent results by providing a new elasticity of attitude, and in a fashion by bringing home in a different way the idea that the present is the point of power. [...]

[...] Ruburt received another letter today (which I have yet to read), from someone experimenting with the kundalini version of energy, in which the final results were poor, leading to a fear of energy itself. [...]

You should understand that we have been talking about Framework 1 and Framework 2. Ruburt felt, and so did you to some extent, that it was easier to experience Framework 2’s spontaneity in the mental realm of imagination—but you each felt that the physical body was tied somewhat more rigidly to the dictums of Framework 1, to cause and effect. In that area Ruburt found it difficult to free himself.

[...] Ruburt’s idea of the four-fronted self is also an attempt to hint at that complexity in human terms.

[...] Within that experience, however, there is full freedom, and regardless of any ideas Ruburt might have had, the body can right itself in a moment—regardless of how long, in your terms, it has been in difficulty. [...]

Ruburt is progressing well with his psychological experience, and that is allowing the body’s continued release.

[...] And as I have said time and time again—such demonstrations should show you, since they are coming through Ruburt, that this energy is a portion of the energy that is your own—you have as much energy as I have—you have as much energy available to you as Ruburt has available to him. [...] I repeat again: physically, Ruburt dwells within the same world as each of you. [...]

[...] I have seen to it that our friend Ruburt acts in such a way that this will not happen. [...]

[...] You do not realize that you have as much energy available to you now as Ruburt is now showing or as this voice now shows. [...]

[...] Ruburt does not care—Jane does not like it. [...]
