“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. We do not want a cult here. I have seen to it that our friend Ruburt acts in such a way that this will not happen. What we want instead is something entirely different—a place of permissiveness where the inner self can grow and develop; where you can meet your own greater reality.

I have told you and I have told each of you here—that you are basically no different than I am. You are a consciousness in your time—dwelling within flesh. Presently, I have no body with which to manipulate in your physical system. And yet, regardless of that fact, each of you knows me well—you feel this vitality. And as I have said time and time again—such demonstrations should show you, since they are coming through Ruburt, that this energy is a portion of the energy that is your own—you have as much energy as I have—you have as much energy available to you as Ruburt has available to him. You each have as much energy within each of you as is being shown now in this room. My message is to use your own energy—to open yourself so that it can be known through you. The answers that you want reside within you. They will sweep out as easily and as clearly as air... if you let them! I repeat again: physically, Ruburt dwells within the same world as each of you. He has access to no more energy than you each possess! Then use your own energy! When you finally feel what I am saying, then you will ride above your own energy!

You think of yourself (to Brad) as a “closed physical personality”—weak and helpless—in a world that you do not understand. You do not realize that you have as much energy available to you now as Ruburt is now showing or as this voice now shows.

I would like brandy but our friend does not like it. And it ill behooves me to force upon her this which she does not enjoy. Ruburt does not care—Jane does not like it.

You think of your wife as she is related to you. You think of your son as he is related to you. You think of Ruburt as he is related to you. You think of the students as you know them in relation to you.

Now. I will not give you what you (Brad) want, but to show Laurie what a jolly fellow I am, I will make a compromise. You must make the first step. I will be with you when you make it. I am aware, as Ruburt keeps reminding me, of your (Theodore) question. However, it is complicated in answering but not important, and this was more important.

Now. I bid you all good evening, for my friend Ruburt is wondering how late I will keep the session and worried about his neighbors. I give you what blessings are mine to give you and what vitality is mine to give you.
