“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(During break Sue told of diving off the high bridge at Cornell after a boy appeared at her side urging her on and of his disappearance. Joel told Jane of his personality, Bill, beginning to speak through him, directly instead of the automatic writing.

(To Joel.) Now, our friend here has taken his first steps from the diving board and his brave friend here is afraid that he will drown. You are beginning to use abilities that you have always had. Beginning, in Ruburt’s terms, therefore, do not get uptight about using them. When you are learning to walk or swim you do not stop to think, “How am I doing this, will I meet a mean old fish or not, will I pull?” and you do not imagine the dire consequences that may, therefore, attend you and do not do so now. You have a level head, and so do you, use it. That is all the advice that you need. Enjoy your freedom.

([Joel:] “By name, or will this be just a superficial change?”)

([Joel:] “I guess I was looking for a handle, something to see as a personal sign of the change in him.”)

([Joel:] “Do you know him?”)

([Joel:] “Is he picking up grades of distortion in my subconscious because I am trying to prove something?”)

([Joel:] “You said the first night I came we will see more of you, then a few weeks later I asked what did you mean but that and you said that I knew why you came, is this part of that knowledge?”)

(During break a discussion of Joel’s development.

(To Joel.) You are forming, with the help of another personality, a psychological bridge over the chasms that exist between realities. Give yourselves time so that that bridge can be a firm and secure one, before you start saying, prove to me the bridge exists. It is not that secure yet, let it grow.

([Joel:] “Does that have anything to do with the psy-time image I saw of a bridge coming together but not completely formed?”)
