“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am however directing this particular discussion toward Ruburt. [...]

Such financial success is therefore important, and has its place, but when Ruburt allows himself to become overly concerned with this, then he identifies too closely with the ego alone. [...]

[...] Ruburt is simply lucky. [...]

[...] Therefore you see to you, or to Ruburt, this becomes a necessity. [...]

All of this material applies to your lives in general and to Ruburt’s physical condition, because you must be clear in your minds as to your own status in that regard, and much of this material will clear the air and dissolve lingering doubts; doubts that cause both of you — but Ruburt in particular — to hold on to the rational approach in a misguided effort to maintain what he thinks of as a balanced viewpoint and open mind. [...]

Ruburt, having interpreted your dream, looked wide-awake but relaxed through his studio into the kitchen. [...] Ruburt had also been thinking newly about the magical approach from ideas in your own notes² that he had just read. [...]

[...] Such is obviously not the case with you and Ruburt, or you would not be having this session, or any other such activity.

[...] You, however, and Ruburt, do have evidence that hardbed reality is quite different. [...]

Ruburt may have no idea, but I have several.

[...] Ruburt’s image is indeed imprinted most strongly in the mind of every child in his classes yesterday, and this focused energy made this possible. [...]

I also suggest that you yourselves concentrate upon the success of Ruburt’s book. [...]

Now I have given our friend Ruburt a boost. [...]

(9:44 in a fast delivery.) Give us a moment… .(Long pause.) To some extent Ruburt’s dissatisfaction with laying down after dinner also means that he is learning more about his own natural rhythms, for he does feel accelerated at that time, and by the evening, as you do. [...]

That is also why it is easier, generally speaking, for Ruburt to receive such information in the evening, because you are jointly free of limitations that might hamper you at other times of the day — not simply that visitors might arrive more usually then, but because you yourselves are less visited by preconceptions of what you are supposed to do in any given hour of the day.

Ruburt has some inclinations in that direction, as do many creative people, but these rhythms are often nearly completely overlaid by culturally-learned ones. [...]

[...] Creative people, again, are often aware of those connections, at least at certain levels, and Ruburt in particular has always felt that way to some extent. [...]

It is obvious not only that Ruburt is improving but that one important area of the body has begun to clear itself to a large degree. [...]

The arm, by its sudden freedom, also serves as a model to Ruburt consciously, and also for the rest of the body to follow. [...]

In the meantime Ruburt is aware of sensation that before was largely deadened. [...]

[...] Ruburt no longer believes he needs the symptoms. [...]

[...] This is not intended specifically to apply to Ruburt; that is, he is not to get a big head, nor is he to feel offended either. Nevertheless both Ruburt and the woman who transcribed the notes are unusually independent, and women will resent independence in other women, though they appreciate the same quality in a man.

I am glad that at least Ruburt seems merry, since Philip is obviously in such low inner spirits.

[...] You have been so faithful, and indeed so studious in our discussion of matter, on matters that matter, that I will let you off, if Ruburt and you would like to accompany your down-in-the-mouth Philip on his trip from bar to bar.

Now a word—Ruburt confuses me with this long horsey mane; my neck grows warm—a word about another situation.

I realized that Ruburt would do fairly well this evening on our own test, which is why I suggested the test, and also suggested that Ruburt open the envelope.

Dr. Instream understands, I am sure, that we are not only involved here with inner perceptions, and with translations that must be made as data is given by me to Ruburt, but we are also working within human limitations, and of course with human potentialities.

This is all fairly new to Ruburt, and he is doing very well. [...]

Ruburt is extremely cautious. [...]

I am trying to give information that will be of practical benefit immediately, since Ruburt was so concerned. [...] I have mentioned quite a few different issues here, and they involve recommendations, including Ruburt’s reading of those prior sessions frequently. [...]

(9:20.) Ruburt, far more than other people, is involved in a life that utilizes conscious and unconscious activity, so that any dilemmas in that regard are certainly physically reflected. [...]

[...] Those early autumn sessions, and the late summer ones, are of help here to balance what we are doing now, for they remind Ruburt of the magical framework and its operation, and assure him that relaxation is one of the best methods that release Framework 2 and its creativity. [...]

[...] the displacement aspect mentioned (in the last private session) helped in the improvement of Ruburt’s lumps on the arm. [...]

[...] Even though Ruburt was not consciously aware of the dream, inner portions of his being were, and the dream itself helps to bring about the conditions that it pictures. Ruburt’s eyes continue to show their improvements, and those improvements mirror other inner ones that still have to physically manifest themselves. [...]

Ruburt felt some dismay when you told him of the letter about the diet because he felt momentarily threatened—attracted to the diet, and suspicious of it at the same time. [...]

[...] It is regarded by Ruburt as a possible embellishment—as an aid in the healing process that may or may not serve to be useful. [...]

[...] Ruburt should continue them by all means. [...]

Ruburt is himself and this self is a writer and this self has strong psychic abilities. [...]

[...] I trust however that this evening’s material will result in Ruburt’s speedy and complete recovery. [...]

My best wishes to you both, and to our once again spontaneous Ruburt, a fond good evening.

[...] Now I want you to make out a list of beliefs about yourself, and another list of beliefs about Ruburt. [...]

For a week I want you to concentrate on Ruburt’s good points and abilities and accomplishments also when you think of him, until I get further in our book. [...]

The television program, about the communication of plants, also served as an impetus, so that Ruburt was able to sense the continuous “inner world” flow of love and cooperation within which all of life is couched. Ruburt had spoken about feeling isolated at times, and the experience was meant also to show him that isolation itself is an illusion.

(Pause.) Ruburt’s experience this afternoon was a response to your own notes concerning communication and its importance.

In this case, the notes allowed Ruburt to see the vaster and yet even more intimate kind of communication that unites you, and that unites all of life.

(Long pause.) Such communications exist at all levels, but for his own personal reasons, and because of your relationship, Ruburt in particular tuned into your own greater personality with those attributes of love, deep understanding, and respect that often seem so difficult, it seems, to express adequately.

[...] Ruburt’s own painting, his knowledge of his psychic abilities, his love of Joseph — all served to form a pattern which then attracted the Cézanne material. [...] Ruburt used his own abilities as a container, then. [...]

Ruburt wondered later if I dreamed. [...]

Ruburt’s nearly forgotten dream last night represents a breakthrough, in that he was at least consciously aware of receiving knowledge in yet another different fashion.

[...] All of this will help Ruburt toward a nonverbal comprehension that will, on another level, reorganize some of his beliefs.

I only suggest that you watch Ruburt as he moves; and I must remind you that upon other occasions when results had been achieved, your minds had been focused along these directions for a long period of time, comparatively speaking, and whether you realized it or not your psychic energies had been so focused. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s insistence upon darkness was an attempt to increase your inner concentration. [...]

I suggest you watch Ruburt’s face. [...]

Deeply (pause) therapeutic elements are operating at all levels of Ruburt’s experience. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In a way the material that Ruburt is receiving will also open new doorways even as far as our sessions are concerned. [...]

Ruburt is embarking upon a different kind of relaxation—highly important, so in that regard these times are extremely creative, and that creativity will indeed be reflected in bodily releases and what you might call body inspirations. [...]

[...] “For my personality is not Ruburt’s, nor is his mine. [...] I make no attempt to dominate Ruburt’s life, nor indeed would I expect him to allow it. I do not represent any repressed portions of Ruburt’s own being. [...]

[...] I have been used to many occupations, and Ruburt has no memory of them. I am not a father image of Ruburt’s, nor am I the male figure that lurks in the back of the female mind. Nor does our friend Ruburt have homosexual tendencies. [...]

[...] But if you do call me a subconscious extension of Ruburt’s own personality, then you must agree that the subconscious is telepathic and clairvoyant, since I have shown telepathic and clairvoyant abilities. So, may I remind you, has Ruburt on his own. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s own personality is in no way threatened by them, and his ego has been carefully coddled and protected. [...] Ruburt allows me to use the nervous system under highly controlled conditions. [...]

If Ruburt will read the last two or three sessions given for him, then I will not need to repeat them this evening. [...]

[...] I do not want to repeat myself—Ruburt must read those sessions again. [...]

[...] Ruburt is doing well. [...]

[...] Ruburt senses some of these. [...]

[...] The other day Ruburt received a telephone call from a woman in California who was in difficulty. Ruburt promised to send [healing] energy. [...] When he did so, Ruburt mentally saw a long “heavy” beam extending straight to the west from a point between his eyes. [...]

Ruburt is learning to minutely experience — change that — Ruburt is learning to minutely alter his experience with the probable atomic correlations that exist quite as validly as does the particular kind of atomic integrity that you generally recognize. [...]

Now: Dictation: As per Ruburt’s notes, each system of reality is indeed surrounded by its probable realities, though any one of those “probable realities” can be used as the hub, or core reality; in which case all of the others will then be seen as probable. [...]

(10:09.) If Ruburt had tried to visit the woman by plane he would have followed the curve of the earth, but in those terms the energy went through in the “straightest” way.⁷

[...] The notes Ruburt wrote yesterday are extremely important, with their emphasis upon my old “the spontaneous self is the guardian,” and added to that “from which your very life springs.” [...] Tell Ruburt that if he continues in this manner, and if the two of you can manage to maintain your peace of mind long enough—over a two or three day period, for example, then you can expect rewards in all areas. [...]

[...] Ruburt is hardly outstanding in having physical difficulties, and overall your lives and the work speak for more of the potential of personality than of personality’s lacks. [...]

[...] Ruburt then used and enjoyed his spontaneity, and has been developing it along the lines of his understanding. [...]

Ruburt’s eyes are definitely improving these last few days, as the strain is being relieved from the rest of the body—the neck area particularly, the jaws and muscles of the brow. [...]
