“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Paintings, and for Ruburt’s benefit poetry—I certainly don’t want Ruburt to feel neglected—but paintings have their own vitality and exist independently of the artist, and are the result of a spontaneous, free, impulsive burst of giving that asks no return, and as such, because no return is expected, returns are given.

[...] Your son was an artist, and certainly prances up and down now in the person of your Ruburt; and at the time you had no understanding nor use for art as any man’s profession; and let it be said that in this respect Ruburt treats you much better than you treated him.

[...] The material was not distorted when Ruburt gave the April 15th date in connection with Miss Callahan, and the crisis of which I spoke. [...]

This one, that one, is one of your favorites, and one of Ruburt’s, and for that reason I myself do feel a warmth. [...]

There will be new developments in our sessions, and new experiments with others, as a result of Ruburt’s first book.

[...] Now, and S and a G, and there will be physical signs for dear Ruburt, when the time comes for physical signs.

[...] You have accepted certain impediments of a normal nature, Ruburt’s health difficulties, your problems with chores versus work, or hassles with Prentice—because you believe that in some strange fashion these connect you with others of your kind, and with physical existence itself.

[...] Let your painting therefore come in the same fashion, and Ruburt’s flexibility. [...]

Ruburt said somewhere “Sometimes you lean into the universe, and feel it give.” [...]

Ruburt’s symptoms could be compared to the cumbersome umbrella and raincoat. [...]

[...] Ruburt must completely believe, however, that that tooth can be saved.

There is nothing wrong with Ruburt’s bladder. [...] The inconvenience and discomfort arising from the catheter’s use are the end results of those few lingering doubts and fears that Ruburt still has. [...]

[...] This session itself should help, by reinforcing Ruburt’s energy and faith, and accelerating the conditions of healing. [...]

Ruburt would not be familiar with a good many of the words and phrases used, even if translation from the original languages was made. [...] To deliver such information through Ruburt would be an immense task, but it is possible. [...]

[...] It is not registered by Ruburt’s eyes (pause), which do not have the multidimensional depth perception necessary. I see the composite image clearly, whether or not I am looking through Ruburt’s eyes. [...]

[...] Using Ruburt’s mechanism is of great help here also. [...]

[...] If anything upsets Ruburt, he automatically sends me messages about it. [...]

[...] All the more since you have no particular conviction, anymore than Ruburt has, concerning the historic existence of a Christ.

[...] A connection again, with an afternoon and two people, yourself and Ruburt.

Ruburt here thinks of a photograph of the two of you, taken at Marathon. [...]

[...] The envelope is addressed to Jane and me, “yourself and Ruburt,” but we do not particularly see where “afternoon” comes in. [...]

Again, you also have both been given evidence of the change in the opinion of others concerning Ruburt’s condition. These new opinions, of course, add to the positive suggestions that both you and Ruburt give to him. So does life work from the inside outward, and Ruburt’s situation is such that further improvements in motion and sensation will continue to show themselves with smoothness and rapidity. [...]

Ruburt now feels the impulse to sit up on the side of his bed—an excellent development, for action follows impulse. [...]

[...] When Ruburt is alone he has begun to exercise on his own, and indeed the manipulation of those pressure points on the temples is very important, and has further helped in the release of arms and shoulders. [...]

[...] The statement is, comparatively speaking, a simple one, so that we can see what Ruburt can do with it.

[...] There are some (in quotes) “defects” of Ruburt’s that are even hard for me to surmount, and in this particular case for a special reason. [...]

[...] Some of the Sumari speakers in the beginning transmitted inner information in precisely such a way, and hopefully at some time at least a few such versions may be picked up by Ruburt. [...]

You have a sense of rhythm, and more conventional musical knowledge than Ruburt, yet rhythmic patterns are very strongly in his makeup, and appeared earlier, silently so to speak in his poetry. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s inner perceptions often take the auditory, you see. [...]

Ruburt should read more in his Maltz book, definitely, and concentrate on achieving relaxation, not only in periods set aside, but in his normal daily hours at work or whatever.

Another point here on Ruburt. [...]

[...] It was Ruburt who drew you emotionally into participation.

[...] You need not fear that subconsciously you are going to invite hordes into your home, nor that Ruburt will subconsciously do so.

Now, Ruburt’s book on the nonphysical self will sell, and shortly. [...]

[...] (Pause, hand to closed eyes.) We shall insert the material during one of next week’s sessions, as Ruburt is blocking me. [...]

There was no personal danger to either of you, as far as Ruburt’s dream is concerned, and that is all for now.

Ruburt is attempting to rid himself of poor habits of years’ duration. [...]

[...] Now Ruburt can learn to use his subjective feeling also as an aid in this manner. [...]

When Ruburt is in good spirits and physical condition, at the end of the day let him note down, briefly, what he has been doing and thinking about. [...]

If a specific local symptom arises, it will help if Ruburt says to himself: “Of course I know the reason for this; it will come to me as I go about my work.” [...]

(11:07.) Now as to Ruburt.... [...]

This method however also brings about a kind of alliance with the body highly important for Ruburt. [...]

Because of the personal material given in late sessions, Ruburt has the habit of worrying—protecting the idea of time and ability as described, so that in one day he will worry about what distractions may arise the next day, and this puts him on guard. [...]

[...] You desperately want Ruburt to improve significantly, yet you are afraid when some improvement shows, lest it will be a “false one” that will not last.

To some extent he projects his understandable but regrettable bitterness upon her, and then imagines that she aims it at Ruburt. [...] To some extent it is directed toward Ruburt, but Ruburt does have protection, the protection of his own love of all living things.

Another small note here, but a rather important one: Ruburt has nothing to fear from his mother, now, or after her death.

We are involved here somewhat in a basic problem, hardly Ruburt’s alone, that will some day take up many sessions. [...]

[...] If Ruburt would indeed do his mother harm if the opportunity presented itself, then he would indeed be in danger of harm. [...]

Ruburt did well to relax the last few days, and he will now find that he applies himself to his various endeavors with renewed energy. [...]

[...] Jane said she felt this was a reference to the entity names Seth has assigned to us, Joseph and Ruburt. [...]

The four in the beginning was merely my effort to lead Ruburt further, in counting as I did do later on, ending up with our correct six. [...]

[...] They were somewhat on Ruburt’s mind, and the name Terwilliger is a subconscious designation he uses for them. [...]

[...] In other words, the sessions are a signal of a sort, activating certain portions of Ruburt’s being. [...]

Ruburt has become more aware of the body’s impetus toward action and motion. [...]

Now I may or may not return—again, according to those rhythms which Ruburt is now beginning to sense. [...]

(Pause.) Ruburt let his guard down ever so slightly, stopped stewing ever so slightly. [...]

[...] You feel guilty about taxes, because you feel that you have not contributed enough financially—therefore doubly angry that the money must be taken from Ruburt, and so forth.

You have literally turned over your emotional affiliation now to Ruburt, so you are in this respect free.

[...] (One minute pause.) She realizes that Ruburt makes you an excellent wife. [...]

[...] This is also true in Ruburt’s case, and in all cases.

Ruburt has not worked on the dream book since Fell’s letter. [...]

Now, as for Ruburt’s upset Saturday... [...]

[...] Now, mentally, have Ruburt pretend it is simply a weed, and mentally throw it over his shoulder after he has plucked it from the seed of his consciousness.

[...] Ruburt was furious in the store, and felt abandoned. [...]

Now apply what I have said tonight about Ruburt to yourself, in terms of your desire for abundance in all things, and examine yourself to see what negative attitudes you have, that you may not have recognized. [...]
