“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon, frightened by a grim tale of lung cancer involving an acquaintance of ours, Jane made an abrupt effort to stop smoking. The acquaintance was a heavy smoker. Jane went so far as to throw away a half-used pack of cigarettes.

He, Ruburt, feels so deprived. I had originally suggested the day after his birthday to end his smoking habit, simply because it would be relatively easy for him at that time. However, the benefits are well worth whatever passing discomfort he fancies he feels. The personality hangs on to his small indulgences, but good sense will rule the day.

He is stubborn, as we have discovered, you and I, and this stubbornness will also work for him. There is no reason why he should not succeed, and he will succeed in letting go the smoking habit. Do not fret because of this brief session, Joseph. It is well worth the while. This evening however Ruburt’s subconscious is in a rather chaotic state, and I shall not attempt now to carry on a regular session.

It is true that Ruburt’s health will show definite improvements. The sinus condition has always been to some extent aggravated by the smoking habit, and there are also other conditions which will largely vanish. Perhaps we can make up this session, or perhaps we can make it up in an entirely different fashion. In any case, you may possibly hear more of me in one way or another before our next regular session. Ruburt, incidentally, will be in good shape by then. My fondest regards to you both. Good night, Ruburt, you soldier, you.
