028 Cosmic Consultant or Psychiatrist's Nightmare -- Seth Defending Sanity, Entity Dreams, and the Two-Faced Self

Session 28 recorded on the evening of February 24, 1964, is notable for its direct address of psychological concerns regarding the channeling process, its powerful clarification of Seth's independent identity, and its introduction of profound metaphysical concepts concerning the nature of the self, the entity, and reality itself.

1. Reassurance on Mental Stability and the Nature of Dissociation

The session commences with Seth addressing the anxieties of Jane Roberts (referred to as Ruburt) and Robert Butts (Joseph), which were triggered by a letter from a psychiatrist. The letter questioned the psychological safety of the sessions, prompting Seth to dedicate the initial portion of the communication to dispelling these fears and clarifying the mechanics of the process.

2. The Independent Identity of Seth

The session directly confronts the hypothesis that Seth is merely an aspect of Ruburt's subconscious. Seth provides several analogies and explanations to establish his existence as an independent personality who utilizes Ruburt's subconscious as a medium for communication.

3. The Entity, Personality, and the Reality of Dreams

After addressing the immediate psychological concerns, Seth introduces foundational metaphysical material regarding the structure of consciousness.

4. The Self-Conscious "Inner Self"

To explain the link between the personality and its entity, Seth introduces the concept of an inner component of the self that operates beyond the familiar layers of consciousness.

5. Personal Counsel and Practical Observations

The session also includes practical advice and personal observations directed at Ruburt and Joseph.

6. Post-Session Notes: The Case of Miss Callahan

The document provided includes extensive post-session notes by Robert Butts that are critical to understanding the context of the next session. These notes detail a precognitive dream Jane had about their elderly neighbor, Miss Callahan, in July 1963.
