“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You will have your tales, but tonight is not the night of telling. Now. I have been here and I have not intruded, because you are learning to collect and use energy on your own. I did indeed however stand in front of each one of you and looked into your faces and you did not see me. It is some experience to stand before another and see no comprehension in his face—but I am used to it. Now. You (Jane and Sue) used your energy like a ball that a child plays with, both you and Ruburt. And you tossed it back and forth, but you did not collect and direct it properly, and we shall have to give you lessons. But you shall do the work.

And when I do ask the questions, and I shall ask them, I shall expect some ready answers. When you immerse yourselves completely in physical reality, then you have no time for the inner voice.

It is your loss. Now, there is a way—when you are involved in physical activity, and even intense mental work—to change the inner focus so that you are aware of two realities at once and can manipulate quite easily in the physical reality as you must. Now, you ask your Bega—for I have told him the message and I have told him to tell you. We shall see how good he is. And I want to know what he tells you for I want to see how he is delivering my suggestions.

Now. You must realize that within this room, and within any room, at any time there are other personalities that you do not perceive. There are ways of perceiving them if they choose to be perceived. Possibly, with some help from certain directions, we shall see what we can do in other classes. And our friend Ruburt is quite correct, you (Brad) learn the nature of the inner self first—and then we shall help you in the development of your own abilities. And before too long, we will have a message for you to take to heart.

I have said before that you have lived many lives and that you can know these existences within yourself. I am not afraid that we shall be kicked out of our apartment. And I also am quite sure that as you grow to know Ruburt and as you grow to know me you will realize that there is a difference in our personalities and that indeed when I tell you that my vitality spans both space and time, then you will know that I know whereof I am speaking. And that this vitality is your own—then feel it within yourselves—now it is being used simply to let you know of its existence, but realize that it is within you for you to use as you will—for your own good—and you (Brad) are not powerless. I have no body and I am not powerless, how, therefore, can you feel helpless, or you, or any of you?

I use many forms and if you do not like them, I am sorry. Next time I shall be a willowy, spiritual, young woman, treading very softly and I shall sing “Ave Maria” as the glorious sun sinks in the west...and I shall tippy-toe to your window. And then from this light and spiritual form, I will bellow.
