“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Then we will let  you take my place. Now, to some extent, what you say is true and yet much of this is not of my doing. The voice mechanism, unfortunately, is something that we must work with and to get my own personality across through the female image and vocal chords, certain adjustments must be made. Beyond this, however, as I believe I mentioned in a few classes, it is not out of the inner sense of my invisible heart but out of the depths of your own psychology that you make me into the image of a wise old man and project upon me authority images that lurk in your own mind. I have always tried to keep you from making this error and always sought to release from within yourselves your own abilities. And told you that knowledge must be directly experienced. You will not learn nearly as much from me as you will through traveling through your own inner self and searching into the reality of yourself for other realities that are also there of which your are unaware. Now my voice is loud but the voice of the inner self is very still and you must be quiet to hear it and so from the loudness of my voice let your self run inward into that silence that is very active.

I will get the message and I will know what the message is. Remember, do not be too impatient, there is a framework that you can use and you have a position from which you can mold opinion and change the direction of people’s minds, if they are open and ready.

(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...

You think a thought and because you cannot follow it you think it disappears and you wonder where it has gone; has it fallen off some invisible cliff within your mind? But, because you cannot follow the thought, and no longer perceive it, because you can no longer hold it in consciousness, does not mean that that thought no longer exists and does not have a reality of its own, for it does indeed. And if a world escapes you and you cannot follow it and you think it has been destroyed, then the same thing applies to the world as to the thought. It continues to exist.
