“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, perhaps I do not use the correct approach with you (Florence) when I speak of responsibility, but you are responsibility oriented. But a flower does not feel the responsibility to bloom in the sun, it blooms because it is natural to bloom. And it is natural to look inward—it is only you who have set up these barriers and now find it so difficult to break them. And when you begin, I can hear you now—”Why didn’t I know earlier. Instead of hells, I find meadows—instead of darkness, I find light! Why did you not tell me?” Well, I am telling you now—and I will say I told you so.

(At this point Vera commented that Seth had not “lighted into her. “)

I do not light into you. I have not the heart to light into you, because you are also giving him (Theodore) strength and you represent a foundation of which he is sure. Psychically you are giving very strongly of yourself in the entire family relationship, in an infinite life-giving way that is extremely important. You are a mother in a way that many mothers are not, and the psychic awareness within you and its vitality goes out like rays to give vitality to your children.

Now, since it is nearly midnight I will leave you—before I turn into a pumpkin! But to a very real extent, you are all sleepwalkers—for you are far more awake and far more alert in many of your sleep states than you are now. And use many of your abilities to much greater advantage then for there is a much higher state of wakefulness that you do not realize—and yet you know it well. There are states of perception with which you are intuitively aware but that escape you in the light of day.
