“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

His interpretation in Dialogues of Rooney’s existence was excellent. Some ideas he has from William James (Varieties of Religious Experience), the seemingly disconnected realizations about his body, dreams and dialogues, will altogether help him.

(“You said you’d tell us about Rooney when we asked for it.” Rooney died February 5, 1973.)

Ruburt’s mother hated cats, particularly black ones. He, Rooney, and Ruburt passed symptoms back and forth. He was not a passive receptor however, the cat, and he even learned from his encounters with Jack Wall. Many of Ruburt’s feelings about his mother however are buried in Rooney’s grave. (Very important.) Rooney however is free of a distrust that he had carried with him, having to do with his background in that house, this time, across the way, and was grateful for those additional years you gave him.

He was also however symbolic of evil to Ruburt, and to some extent then conquered simply through the natural passage of events. With the death of Ruburt’s mother Rooney’s purpose was done as far as Ruburt was concerned; and Rooney did a final service, for through his death Ruburt faced the nature of pain and creaturehood that his mother’s life had so frightened him of.

She also helped provide a background that Ruburt wanted and chose. Ruburt’s aunt was looking from without, and the consciousness of Ruburt’s mother left the body as Rooney’s did. There is no unbearable pain. Consciousness leaves first, though the body mechanism reacts, but without the “I” identity from which the (in quotes) “horror” comes. Do you follow me?
