090 True Spirituality Requires A Strong Ego

That Time Seth Played Psychic Life Coach

Session 90 recorded September 21, 1964 is a masterclass in balancing your inner psychic explorations with the tricky business of being a functional human. Let's get into it.

The "Away Game" and Twin Telepathy

This impromptu session happened largely because of a guest's "sincere curiosity" and the special, unspoken connection that exists between twins. Seth notes that twins are naturally more accustomed to using the inner senses for communication. He also cheekily observes that if Ruburt knew what the session was going to be about, he would have put a stop to it immediately. As Seth puts it, "It goes without saying that had Ruburt known beforehand the subject matter of the session, he would have blocked it."

To Session or Not to Session?

Seth makes it clear that this work isn't a party trick. He states it is necessary "that you do not parade yourselves, giving sessions as one would put on a vaudeville act." However, he also advises that sincere, honest requests made under appropriate conditions should be met. The goal is to apply abstract knowledge in a helpful, human way.

The Prescription for Zibreth

The core of the session is a detailed, multi-layered plan for a personality named Zibreth (Louie), designed to help him build a stable foundation for psychic development. The advice is a blend of the practical and the profound:

Seth's Recommendation

Physical Action

Take a half-hour's brisk walk to constructively use aggressive energy.

Behavioral Change

Help another person three times a week without expecting thanks. Also, three times a week, quietly but firmly express a diverse opinion when one arises.

Life Structure

Live alone for a while and work separate from the family business to foster independence.

Emotional Health

The personality fears his own strength because normal aggressiveness has been denied. Expressing opinions will release inner pressure.

Meditation Schedule

A structured routine is suggested: 15 minutes daily for three months, then 3 weeks off. A month of 30-minute meditations, then a week off, followed by a daily schedule of no more than 30 minutes for a year. The focus should be on expansion, projecting the self "outward toward All That Is."

The Ego: Your Psychic Safe Harbor

Seth's most powerful point is that a strong, stable ego is not an obstacle to psychic work—it's an absolute prerequisite. He warns that diving into inner realities without a firm footing in the physical world is dangerous. The ego provides the secure base the inner self needs to return to after its journeys.

Seth explains: "The feet of the ego, of any ego, must not rest on quicksand, or when the venturing self returns there will be no sound foundation to receive him." A legitimate psychic journey should increase the ego's ability to handle life's challenges. If it results in a lessening of control, one should "instantly ask himself questions, and abruptly halt."

A Pithy Goodbye

After laying out this profound framework, Seth wraps up with some personal notes for Rob and Jane, promising to help with Rob's hay fever. He ends the session with a touch of humor, saying, "I will now, my two peachies, end the session. It has been most pithy...Even I am sometimes appalled at my dryness."
