“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You will forgive me if I do not attend that particular class. Now, I have been a liberal from way back, and yet there are certain circumstances indeed where I become very conservative. To take my clothes off and end up with a woman’s body—there indeed I draw the line! Now as you have known, I have been here this evening, bell and all. If I occasionally take you to task, I am speaking to two members of the class in particular, and if I occasionally take you to task, then ask yourselves who else cares enough to take you to task, and if I do not take you to task, who else will take you to task? When I give A’s they are well earned.

Now you hear the words, but I am behind the words and highly creative activities must go on on both our parts, so that my thoughts can be translated into words that will make meaning and sense to you. I must transform certain mechanisms within Ruburt’s physical mechanisms. I must play upon them as a painter plays with color or a musician plays with notes and keys, and he (Ruburt) must acquiesce and join in this creative activity. Then in his books he must further use his creative ability to translate what I have said. We use Ruburt’s nervous mechanism and we change it creatively, as to a lesser extent we hope to change you all creatively.

For your information I can taste the wine and fortunately I am not affected by the wine, although Ruburt may be.

I will ring my bell and awaken our friend and if you can hear it, then I can hear it and I will return if you promise to give Ruburt no more rumolade in candies. If you are as lively as I am at my age, then you can indeed sing hosannas...

All right now, I will fix all of you. I will say good evening to you now, but I will continue what I have to say when you go to sleep this evening. I will continue my dissertation, for I had one planned. If you will not listen to me when you are awake because it is too late, then I shall be like a recording machine so that you learn while you sleep. I may indeed take care of you (to Theodore). Joking aside, I will speak to those now here this evening while you sleep, and you may ask me what questions you have. You may or may not remember. Over that I have no control, and it goes without saying that you can listen or not. I will not force, and would not force, myself upon you. But you are not sufficiently impressed with the reality of your existence within the dream state. You still do not realize its significance. You still do not realize the potential that you have and that you use in the dream state, and that you do not use ordinarily in your waking life. Now when I speak to you, you may remember me, but you may very well see me as you think I am.

Now I give you all again those blessings that are mine to give, and I am here with you very clearly this evening so that you should be able rather vividly to sense my reality, and in sensing my reality to sense that greater reality of your own. So though I say good evening to you now, I will visit again with you whether or not you remember, for a portion of you will know, and the portion of you never forgets such encounters.

It is only because I am so aware of the reality of time to you that I leave now, for I realize that your hour is late. But time is as transparent as the air in this room and your 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 o’clock flies through the air like birds. I speak to you all individually and individually you all know me, so while you all hear the same words individually they mean something different to each of you.

I give you then my heartiest good wishes, and we shall continue our discussion when you have gone beddy-bye. Instead of visions of sugar plums I shall dance within your heads! Now, I am quite prepared to continue quite as I am now with you here for some time. It is only out of the goodness of my invisible heart and my sympathy and understanding for your human conditions that I hereby say, temporarily, good evening.
