“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

It is to demonstrate that you have the same vitality within yourself, and if I have this vitality and I do not have a body, then how much vitality do you have that you should be using that you are not using. It is to demonstrate that you are no more physical than I am, and it is also to demonstrate that consciousness is a joyful and a vital thing. Though my voice does not often sound joyful it is a matter of mechanics. It is to show what is possible.

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.
