He is not, therefore, supposed to think of me, and I have said this often, as some sort of ghostly spirit in those terms. There is no conflict between what I am and what he thinks I am. Any conflict has been a result of his own misinterpretations.

[... 12 paragraphs ...]

Because Ruburt is at times so literal, he then did become bothered by thoughts of setting himself up, or thoughts of misrepresentation; and all of this because of the interpretation of the word spirit, or spiritual, and highly colored interpretations at that. Then he felt guilty because he was not living up to other people’s interpretation of the word.

His intellect is a fine one, and should have no quarrel at all with our sessions. It is only when he uses it falsely as a shield to hide behind that he is bothered, and an objective reading of the Seth material would show him that there is nothing in it of which he need be emotionally or intellectually ashamed. To the contrary, he does not have to see me as a white-gowned spirit. (Strong and emphatic.) I am not physical. But the picture of a white-robed spirit, with those connotations, is not one I have given him.

He was outraged by A A, because he persisted in considering him as a “spirit”, in quotes, with all the connotations the word arouses in him. A A is no longer a physical personality, and that is all. He is not a personality fully developed in those larger terms of which I speak. He is a personality however, and he is not Ruburt’s.

You spoke earlier of tragedies, and I do not understand you. Great work stands alone. It is a triumph of the human spirit, and it always grows out of experience. As an egotistical creature, alone, you would not choose the experience, even though great work resulted from it. (Smile, and intent delivery.)
