“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now there have been several developments here in class with these two (Vera and Theodore) and there are other developments which should come in this class. And before I speak to you again, I expect to see that these developments have, indeed occurred. And when I pat you on the back you will know.

I have been here, as Ruburt knows well, through your class this evening, and he has given me permission, for I would not dare peek into this class unless he told me that I could do so. For such a small and slender snip he holds his own. We do, however, have a very good relationship, as I’m sure you know by now. And you understand, I know, my humor. My energy has been silent but potent in this room, like that bottle of wine that sits upon the table. But Ruburt knew that I would be here before class was over, and I come to you with no great pronouncements. The material is my pronouncement, and I back up the material with my presence. And when you read the material, then indeed you know who it is that has given it, and if you hear a laugh behind the material as you read it, let there be no doubt in your mind that I am here. 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.

One remark, I did not mean to imply that I had any hand at all in the healing process to which I referred earlier. My methods are my methods, and I do not believe in shortcuts. However, shortcuts are taken, and I have no disagreement with the methods of others. I am aware of them, and I am pleased that the process has begun. I am aware that the process has begun and I am aware of what is being done. I am a harder teacher. I am not taking credit, you see, for another man’s abilities. I am much more interested, unfortunately, in the more painful process involved in self-realization, spiritual insight, and psychological knowledge. I would demand that your husband know why (to Rose) and rid himself of the problem that was causing the symptoms. To relieve the symptoms is indeed pleasant, and human, and understandable. And I have no quarrel with this. But it is far more important to understand why you are creating a distortion in physical reality that concerns your own image. For the problem must be solved now or later. It is possible that the relief of symptoms will lead to psychological and spiritual regeneration, in which case it is doubly and triply beneficial. But problems within a personality and [sic] itself will manifest itself in one way or another unless the problem itself is solved.

Now when I speak to you as I have this evening, my purpose, my one and main purpose, is to let you sense the endless vitality that is mine, though you, in conventional terms, would designate me by some ridiculous word—survival personality, as Ruburt says, or “spirit” or “dead.” My vitality is the same vitality that is your own. I am not here, in your terms, but I am very much here.

There is some understandable confusion there. Now, to end the suspense I will indeed shortly say good evening to you (after each previous trance we wondered if Seth would be back, since he hadn’t said good night, and he always says good night). Well, I am here, indeed I am here, and if you want to think of me as some UFO (earlier talking about someone mailing a card to Robbie, Jane and Seth, what or how would they address it), that is your privilege. When Ruburt receives my energy, often he does not know what to do with it. It radiates out from that small frame. He thinks that the energy collects about him until it could shatter the walls of the room. I can see the timbers falling upon your heads. A timberhead.

Now, only because of the hour and Ruburt constant(ly) probing which I do indeed feel, I will leave you, and it will indeed be some classes before I return, for you have your own problems to consider, your own inner development to consider.

And if I did not welcome you suitably, I do so now (to Candice).
