“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Tom:) Neither Ruburt nor I are bankers, so you must let us sort out this material. I would make a fine bank president, if I do say so myself, even if I do not know banking. (Humorously.) These jovial remarks are simply to take up some time while we look into these matters.

(It might be added here, or at the end of the session, that Jane has no knowledge of banking, nor had she discussed any of this material with Tom before the session, or at any other time. In fact, as Tom remarked, “She doesn’t even know what my job is, except that I work for a bank.”

Such a service could be born within your framework, and become an important part of other banks. You would have your finger on the economic pulse-beat of the area, and you could diagnose business ills before they occurred —banking preventative medicine, you see, and you could have the preventive medicine at your fingertips and be ready to apply it.

(Tom said that on the whole the data meant quite a bit to him; he could interpret it, and did so at break. It concerned his job in banking, about which Jane and I knew very little. Tom did very well in making connections; the material was quite specific, and the longer Tom and Virginia discussed it with us, the more connections they made. “Except for the last two bits of data,” Tom said, meaning the opportunity to change his own position, and another, unseen opening.

[...] When I referred to your personal bank of symbols, I meant to specify that this bank was yours from the day of your birth and before. [...] This bank of symbols must be activated, however. [...]

[...] These represent your personal symbol bank as far as your present life is concerned.

[...] Personal association, therefore, is highly involved with your personal bank of symbols, and it operates in the dream states precisely as in waking life — but with greater freedom, and drawing from the future, in your terms, as well as from the past.

[...] The inner banks of symbols, however, operate as a drawing account, latent unless you take advantage of them. [...]

You do not know what exact financial manipulations will happen to give you your greater interest in your new bank accounts. You simply know the interest will come—because you trust the banking establishment and the country’s intrinsic worth, so you need not wonder or worry about what artistic or editorial or legal or economic facts might be involved to bring about the higher interest that you want from Prentice, because you trust the higher establishment of Framework 2—which holds all accounts. [...]

Now: a discourse on Frameworks 1 and 2, bank accounts, and psychic collateral. [...]

Today you changed a bank account over from an ordinary savings account to what you might call a super-account, where the very same amount of money will give you approximately twice as much interest. [...]

[...] I hadn’t expected him to use our bank accounts as analogies, but saw at once what he was up to. [...]

In some cases the individual’s money or jewels are not even available to them themselves, but hidden in the bank’s deep vaults, behind all kinds of barriers and hidden time locks that must be cared for by bank attendants. [...]

[...] They might wear imitation baubles instead, while leaving their real jewels hidden in a bank vault. [...]

The millionaire checks all of the locks, perhaps, or has the bank president show him the latest security measures that are being taken—and to some degree, now, Ruburt, and you to a lesser degree, have checked Ruburt’s security system. [...]

That fear led you to make, during your short drive, a quick and quite a desperate entreaty into Framework 2. Wanda had several errands, the bank merely one, and it was her lunch hour. She thought of making the bank trip after lunch—that is, after eating—and instead changed her mind so that you met. [...]

[...] While at the bank yesterday noon I met Wanda, a nurse who worked in the office of a doctor I’d seen some years ago for an ear problem. [...]

[...] I quit painting at 11:30 and went to the bank in order to be back home by the time he called. [...]

He was ready for you to leave Artistic and take your chances as soon as you had a thousand in the bank. [...]

[...] He thought: another book, more money in the bank to pay taxes on, you still at your job, no trips, just another book for more money. [...]

Symbolically the job meant to him a great psychic rift, after, now, he felt you had enough money in the bank to hold you awhile. [...]

[...] There would be more money in the bank and to him is was blood money, rotten or spoiled like fruit overripe and unused. [...]

His mother banked upon her femininity, or so it seemed, stressing what Ruburt thought of as feminine wiles. [...]

Yet to Ruburt’s mother, if you were a woman you either banked as she had on that femininity, and used it as a tool, or you became educated. [...]

[...] You have thought of your dwindling bank account, and I tell you that this is why your bank account is dwindling. [...] If you must think of your bank account—

[...] You must instead insist upon watching every dollar in the bank, and fearing that it will dwindle away. [...]

Whenever you find yourself thinking of your bank account follow the exercise I have just given you. [...]

[...] It is banking on those portions of your own personality that you feel but cannot see in the ordinary mirror. It is banking on the invisible self that, as yet you have not been able to actualize in physical reality. [...]

[...] That there is far more that is not seen by the mirror, and it is not seen by other eyes and you can choose to bank upon those abilities that you know are inherently your own. [...]

[...] I have many banks of personalities upon which to draw but there was, indeed, in the beginning initially, the dilemma upon which of these personalities should I draw and which would be the most effective. [...]

[...] While I do not follow you, tippety-toe, behind you to your school halls and your hallowed bank corridors, nevertheless I am aware, generally, of your activities, and I know when you are reading my material. [...]

[...] Only because I make you think, do not ever believe that I would have you forget your banking [sic] intellect, for this is not the case, and if there is much I have not said to you, it is because you know already what I would say to you. [...]

[...] My only point in such unseeming [sic] and undignified, unbusinesslike and unconventional demonstration—I would make a poor bank president—my only point is to let you know that existence knows no barriers and a breeze and ease through blood and bone are born [sic]. [...]

[...] Because it’s a holiday, I guess, the bank was closed, so I couldn’t pay the IRS.

[...] You went to the bank today because you thought you should, going against your feelings. You went with your feelings about Maria (Clodes), but this caused you difficulty instead of enjoyment because of the bank. [...]

[...] Your acts go into a bank of experi-ence from which others can draw.

(Pause.) There are no fu-tile acts, for all of them are val-id, and con-trib-ute to banks of ex-peri-ence and to the birth of cells who are en-dowed with your ex-peri-ence as knowledge.

[...] Each of your personalities are free to accept and develop, from the miraculous banks of reality, those experiences and emotions that you want, and to reject those you do not want.

[...] There are banks of activity from which you can draw or choose not to draw.

(4:42.) I am not saying that the events in one life cause the events in another, but that there is an overall pattern — a bank of probable events — and that in each life each individual chooses those that suit his or her overall private purposes. [...]

[...] The genetic patterns for any given species reside, of course, primarily in that species’ genetic bank—but that genetic bank does not exist in isolation, but [is] invisibly connected with the genetic makeup of each other species (all very intently).

[...] You are the judge and the final word in that regard, so that as your ideas change, as you move toward one probable self and decide upon that as your official³ self, you will always have a rich bank of probable actions to choose from. [...]

[...] So there are not records in terms of objective, forever-available banks of information into which you tune. [...]

[...] After breakfast I called to see if the bank was open today, since I wanted to open the account for Jane’s hospital fund, but it was closed for Washington’s birthday. [...]

[...] The offered bank loan represented your inner realization of what had occurred, offering really another chance that you were not able to take.

(This may be, but the bank loan offered Jane and me was quite a bit more expensive, and we did not feel we wanted to take on the added expense. [...]

[...] As it happened, at the time all three of the Veteran’s Administration appraisers who are based in Elmira were out of town on vacation; therefore the bank in Elmira had to call in a representative from out of town to evaluate the property—and one who had never seen the property before. [...]

Your personalities, in a symbol now, form the two sides, the two banks, of the stream through which the material flows. [...] (Smile.) I am the land from which the two banks are formed.
