“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Florence.) And there is no reason for you to fear the session you have in mind. I go out of my way, as your friend Seth II does not, to show you that I am a jolly fellow. There is no need to worry about my knowing your fears. The worry is that you do not know your own fears. Why should you care whether I know them or not?

He is indeed. You have an idea of what that type of personality should be like and, to some extent, and for awhile, you will manage to distort his image until you are sure that it is pure and good and true. Do you follow me? You will find that there are definite elements put upon your own personality that you must be ready to face. The development would not have occurred unless you were ready for it. Do you follow me? Therefore, you are ready for growth. There is no growth without strain, without the shattering of old barriers and the learning or new responsibilities but these responsibilities are experienced as joys. I would, however, not suggest that, except for our friends here, you have any witnesses for sessions for some time. That you work this out, the two of you. A session or so is all right but I do not want you placing yourself in a position where you are trying to prove the legitimate nature of such communication to others. It is too great a strain upon your own personality at this point and it is not necessary at this point. Your own interpretation of the experience is far more important than the interpretation that others place upon it. Do not force yourself to a point of strain. Do you follow me?

Each of you are more miraculous in this particular moment than any of you presently suppose, but you hide the miracles from yourselves. Intellectually you try to imagine what I am and yet you should be trying to feel what you are. And if I speak through this woman, then what should this tell you about the nature of human personality and since you all have human personalities at this point, what questions should this make you ask of yourselves. The answers are already given, you have only to ask the proper questions.
