“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I will give you some information with which you can confound Ruburt at our break. Yesterday, on two occasions, he was quite surprised, but mildly so, to find strong phlegm in his throat. On one occasion he was on the phone to you (Janice) and on another occasion he was in another man’s office. Now he worked with his pendulum and discovered one reason for the phlegm and the cough when he was speaking to you, having to do with the fact that his own writing hours were not done. But he did not search any more deeply than that. Instead, you see, yesterday on two occasions he picked up the fact of his father-in-law’s illness, the phlegm in the father-in-law’s lungs and eschewing heart difficulties. On both of these occasions he reacted physically to information that was psychically perceived and all without recognizing the stimulus or the reason for the physical symptoms.

(To Joel) I know you did not mean it, the way that I seemed to take it, but it was too good to miss.

([Joel:] “Yes, because I was thinking of an event rather than words, but you picked up on the words rather than the event.”)

Not really, feel it through. Now you do not realize what effort I go through, to come through with such warm human characteristics. It is something you never have to think about. In many ways it is a fun thing. I have many banks of personalities upon which to draw but there was, indeed, in the beginning initially, the dilemma upon which of these personalities should I draw and which would be the most effective. And so like any good teacher, I adapted those means best suited for my purpose.

I told you that this was a break and I intentionally left the word props open so that each of you could interpret the ways in which you make and use your own props.

The last was not a demonstration. I would not put Ruburt through that. He is, however, strongly attuned as far as the father-in-law is concerned and has been for the past week, picking up information. Understand, however, that in your own way you also perceive unconsciously and react to such information, and that many of your unaccountable moods, fears, but also inspirations, have their source in events that, in your terms, have not yet occurred.
