“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session is included in the regular series [Session 494] because of the voice effects; the fact that both Seth and his entity spoke; some new ideas from both entities; and because no regular session was held the next day, Wednesday, July 16.

(The data re the paintings—Bega—Theodore M., was interesting, etc. On July 17, Theodore purchased the painting of Bega as designated by Seth. On July 16, Ned and Sue Watkins bought the oils of Charlie Painter, the dream hands, and Moses.

(Very late in the evening, Ned Watkins woke me to express concern because of the length of the session tonight—at perhaps 1 AM or later. Jane then was speaking for Seth’s entity. Ned and others were concerned that Jane couldn’t exert enough control to come out herself.

(Jane called back to me that she was all right during a break, and this and my waking up served to end the session. Jane said she felt it was a good session, an unusual occasion to get some new ideas, so she went along with Seth and his entity. She also knew the whole session was being recorded.)

Far be it from me to bump fair ladies on the head! The bump, for this has been a very active evening, was from your playful poltergeist AA. I have better things to do than to bump maidens or madams on the head.

(To Sue and Ned:) I do have one point to make. The child (Sean) was a girl—1432—France—and at one time your sister—strong literary abilities—some interest in music—should not be pampered for the personality is already given to indulgence. There may be an allergy to wheat—early in life—was also known to this one here in Spain—the country now called Spain—in 801 as an uncle—then a warrior-type personality—but again given to indulgence.

I had meant to mention earlier that your daughter and sister were brothers in a previous life in Afghanistan. You (Sally), I believe, 1541-1583, a rug-maker, their father—that is, you were their father. There was also another child—and that child will be G’s husband in this life. There will be a close connection, then, between the two of you—but also a sense of rivalry. Your mother was a very heavy-handed father to you in that existence. Your father has now strong feminine traits because in Boston in an immediately past life there was a woman—give us a moment—the first name was also Lillian. The last name—your vice-president to the contrary—was Agnew. There are records of this particular existence twenty-five miles, approximately, west of Boston—at that time, a small town... three children who died before the age of three, and records, I believe, attesting to this fact—couched in one of the historical societies—or in land grant information.

Now, I will tell you (Theodore) something. Bega is there and I will let you tell me which portrait is his. You may ask Bega or tell me. But you did not pick the correct portrait. (Theodore commented that one was “too much Hebrew.”)

([Theodore:] “The one I thought was Bega was actually Ruburt.”)

That is because it is the portrait of Bega. But you did not pick it out as your first choice. Now, Bega has been here as I have been here and he was calling you to look toward the corner of the room—and you were too intellectually smug to do so as Ruburt is often too intellectually smug to do what I ask him to do. And your own intellectual ideas prevented you from first picking out your intuitive choice, as far as the portraits were concerned.

Now. There is someone else who has been here and who is connected with our new student. But our new student does not know this person—it is no one with whom she has previously communicated. Because she was not ready. This personality is also a student of mine and a practice teacher.

I said: “In your terms, I was dead;” in my terms, I am forever lively. (This to clarify a point being discussed by the class.

([Ned:] “Was that you that she saw in the window the other night?”)

(Jane later said there was a short break here, while Seth’s entity prepared to come through. Jane didn’t get any pyramid feeling though.

So I am the Seth that is beyond the Seth that you know. And in me the knowledge and vitality of that Seth still rings. In your terms, I am a future Seth. But the terms are meaningless to me, for he is what I was, in your terms.

We gave you the pattern by which your physical selves are formed. We gave you the pattern by which you learned to form your physical reality. We gave you the patterns intricate, involved and blessed from which you form the reality of each physical thing you know. The most minute cell within your brain has been made from the patterns of consciousness which we have given you. We gave you the pattern upon which you formed your entire physical universe and the comprehension that exists within each cell, the knowledge that each cell has, the desire for organization was given by us. The entire webwork was initiated by us. We taught you to form the reality that you know.
