“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do it for several reasons because that is the way I am, in the guise that I choose to use in my communication and also to get everyone over the idea that so-called spirits must be sweet-faced, quiet, sober and dignified. That, for example, is one of my main concerns. I also want you to understand that energy is being used and that energy is available and that the same energy that Ruburt uses is available to each of you but beyond that...

Forget body language, you will not be using it all the time you know. Now I have been on television and now I am to be on radio and I am to be on the movie screen and I must remember to be decorous and quiet. I shall see that my aura shows and I shall look as saintly as possible. Now, when I speak with saints then I look saintly.

For if I am unreal, then what are you?

([Arnold:] ‘Either I misunderstood before, or I am misunderstanding now, I thought each personality, each portion of a whole self, went through these pulses.”)

And I know I am only going to confuse you but if you have probable selves then you know there are probable universes and probable earths and probable histories of your earth and you see what this is going to do to your concept of reincarnation as you now hold it. So within the system that you know, you also have probable reincarnational selves within those probable historical earths. Now this does nothing to deny the basic integrity nor validity of what you may prefer to call the soul. It simply means that the inner self also is far more creative, far richer, and far varied and much different than you originally supposed.

([Joel:] “I love it when you say, what blessings I have to give, I give you. It has gotten to the point now where, I get up there and I am already to say, ‘God bless you’ at the end of the service, and I’m almost ready to say  ‘such blessings as I have to give’ and I really have begun to see now, how absurd the whole practice, not that specifically, but the whole rigmarole had been over the years. That’s spontaneous growth, isn’t it?”)

Indeed. I am answering in the affirmative.

(To Bobby.) And I hesitate to bring this up but our friend, here in the middle, was a Brother in an order in the 15th century in Denmark and it was a secret order that operated underground, so to speak. The personality has a great humility and a true sweetness. An inquiring mind, but also, because of past experience, can also latch upon an idea and never give it up. All the time thinking that it’s open-minded. Now I am speaking now of any given particular issue, not for example, of an entire mental life style, but beneath the humility a stubbornness; an attention to detail; a freedom of thought on the one hand, but an attention to detail having to do also, with this life when you took care of a sacristy and attended to altar veils and the placement of candles, missals and statues in specific and given places. Also, then, you were one who took care of a church calendar where each given saint had his day and for you, at that time, each day then took on the character of its saint for you believed in this implicitly. A love of fine silver and ornamentation from those days. There is some confusion here, we must break this for over here...

(To Natalie.) For over here in our kind and very excellent secretary. There is a bleed-through of material from an Irish existence as a young boy of fourteen. I see you as a Brian Donlevy, in a town 30 or 35 miles from Dublin in 1831 at the time of a hidden rebellion, as a runner. As a runner between the Catholic Irish and Englishmen and in a time of terror. Two brothers who were priests and yet it seems from what I am getting, that you did what only can be called spy work for them. That matters of money and inheritance entered in and that they were on the side of the English for those reasons. Therefore, you were in a highly ambiguous position. 1831 to 1862. Rather aggressive, hotheaded. I see you playing in the church, mimicking the priest and playing with the vestments. You sired a son at the age of fourteen. Your brothers knew this, the priests, and they used this knowledge to incite you to act as a spy for them.

Now I am going to say good evening shortly but remember you call this your universe and your reality and it is indeed, for you form it, and yet within you is also the knowledge of other great experiments that are being tried. And other probable systems are aware of the experiments that you are trying, and in your terms and I am speaking now in your terms only which to some extent means that I am hedging the fence, other civilizations have gone your route, some have failed. In your terms, the inhabitants of some earths, however, have succeeded very well and your future, in your terms, is not set.

(To Joel) If you cannot follow where I am then you have trouble following where you are and when you find out where you are you will not need to ask where I am. And what blessings I have to give, I give to you.
