“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

All right, then you shall be, but you will feel apart from the group unless you do what they have done.

I not only support you but congratulate you, and I want you all to know that the effort involved on Our Lady of Florence’s part this evening was only somewhat short of fantastic, and that her achievement more than equals the achievement of those who had had the projections. In trying to deny these early facts of your existence you have shut off strong portions of your own energy and creative strength so that they could not operate for you in your life. You used, literally, a half of your energy repressing these memories and ideas building up a bridge between yourself and the rest of the world in terror that they should discover this secret, and so constructively you could not use this energy. And you built up about your physical image a fortress of flesh to protect you. The image that you have has been built around you from these fears so that you would be so secure that none could find out the secret. And the secret when it is said, you see, releases that energy, particularly as you begin to understand that in that past there was nothing shameful. That the ideas of Orientals that you had at that time were highly distorted. That other incidents of which I know are not, in those terms, my dear Lady of Florence, shameful. The energy can, therefore, be released.

Now I will let you all take a break and do not break up into pieces.

Now of all the others in the room, those two, in their relationship, have a simplicity and an integrity that speaks for itself and it is, indeed, highly unusual. The biggest secret that this one has over there, (Arnold), if you will forgive me, is a deep feeling of inferiority that is disguised sometimes as humbleness. This I know and this, intuitively, the other members of the group know, but your questions and the fact that you question it, this is good, here or in any other place or in any other group. But do not question yourself out of feeling or emotion and do not build up a barrier in your own mind for there are no barriers here.

Now my relationship with you, brought up quite cleverly by our friend over here, is indeed a strange one since you do not relate to me as you do to each other. But you may tell our friend over here the effort I make precisely so that you do not set me up as a demigod and that you use your own abilities. Now if this were not the case you would be dealing with my friend, Seth II, all of the time so you had all better watch out.

(Seth II:)(Words lost)...observed then realize that we are highly interested in such experiments as Seth is conducting, and that as we observe you, so do you, though unconsciously, observe other realities in your sleep state. If our reality seems strange to you then yours seems strange to us. We move through systems such as yours faster than the speed of light, and so what I am saying is already a translation and, in your terms, a message left in the past of your time. Your own consciousness also travels faster than the speed of light, and big portions of you does understand, to some degree, the nature of our reality. At least it has an innate comprehension of the probabilities in which you exist. There are portions of your own identity, in other terms, that dwell in these probable systems that have not known physical reality and that come to observe those portions of itself that have so developed in that fashion. And so do we observe and does yourself serve as a translator in our behalf. Unfortunately, we do not communicate easily with the portion of you that can understand. You are not in communication with that portion of yourselves that is not physical, that was never physical and that will not know physical existence at all, and since you identify with the physical self then, indeed, we come to you in the guise of ghosts that you do not understand our forms that you cannot see. And yet, since we seeded the universe in which you have your present existence then do we observe, and do we watch, and do we have concern.

You will, indeed. You do so now all the time, but you are not aware of it.

Now, first of all, the dog is not a fragment out of nowhere. He is a simple stray. However, there is an imbalance, a lack of balance and of coordination, in the family, in the family relationship and with the children. The dog is an extremely psychic animal, in your terms. Therefore, he is aware of the emotional conditions that exist. He is also in need of love and care, and he knew, in his own way, that a bargain could be worked out. Simply by being there he can change, to some extent, the balance of the household and also have his own wants catered to. And so it is a bargain that this young tramp has made with you and a good one. Take him up on it.

You have all done more this evening than you realize you have done, and so I will now bid you a fond good evening. But remember there are differences in your own reality and in your own identity that are as great as the difference between my personality and that of Seth II. And there are journeys within yourselves that you can take that will lead you from selves that you know to selves with whom you are not yet acquainted. And so now I give you those blessings that are mine to give.

You will all find your own blessings I am sure. I bid you then a hearty good evening and my best wishes to you all.
