“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now we will see to it, if he does not tell you, that these steps are clearly given, but you will discover them for yourselves. Some of you are quite familiar with what we will class, or Ruburt will call, Alpha V or VI, but the time has come for you to start at the beginning and work your way through. Now I will not give you a diploma, you will give yourselves your own diploma. And you are quite correct in thinking that an added dimension has appeared in class. And it is a dimension that had to appear in class for, as I told you before, the time has passed, here, where you can hide in concepts. You will begin to live the concepts.

Now all of you, in your own way and even you (Nadine), have begun to be familiar enough with concepts so that in your dream states and in some of your conscious states you are beginning to play around with them, and so we are in a new playground. And in this playground the root assumptions and the rules and the regulations are somewhat different. And the concepts are not to be used as elegant fences that you climb up and, hopefully, over or that you admire, but the concepts will begin to open up for you so that you experience their reality. And any reality to you, at this time, involves emotional awareness and gradations of it. And so, you cannot ignore your own emotions or the emotions of others in the room and expect to use your abilities.

You can all learn to use this initial state of altered consciousness, and we will be dealing with it often in class, but you will each be dealing with it in your private lives. You will learn to examine it, but more than this you will learn to cherish it as you should cherish all the states of consciousness that you discover in yourselves and in others.

Now some night for a small demonstration I will have Ruburt come up from his present state through the various stages of consciousness so you can see them. He is plunged so quickly to the level that we want, you see, that oftentimes he is not aware of the intervening stages. But you will have no difficulty starting with the stage that was discussed here this evening, and each of you know intuitively what that stage is. And you will all learn what true communication is, for you will learn to communicate in various levels of consciousness and you will learn to listen to me in various levels of consciousness, and you will learn to know me in various levels of consciousness so that you can see (feel?)[sic] beneath the words as well as hear the surface of the words.

Do not press. Relax. Do not press. Beyond that feel yourself at one with All That Is, but retain the sense of your own ‘I’ identity.

You were learning what the feel of your own energy was, and each of you must learn it individually for yourselves. You direct it beyond this place and this time, and so it is about time that you learned to recognize it within yourselves and within the others within this room. We should change the name of the class and simply call it a class in communication and direction of energy. Now I would speak to you in my Alpha I except the state is somewhat different than the one with which you are now becoming acquainted. But before we are finished you will feel the power of your own energy and learn what to do with it. (To Eva.) And this applies over here. Now you are receiving some valid inner information. You will have to learn what to do with it. There are distortions, and you should expect them, and there is no perfect state of consciousness. Perfection implies, automatically, something done and finished, beyond which, there can be no growth nor development. Relax. Revelations come through the earth. Revelations come through the seasons.

Revelations belong in change, but you need not press for them. They will unfold.

They will, but do not press for them.

You will not force secrets from the universe. They only flow and appear, but you are pressing.

([Eva:] “But I can’t control...”)

([Eva:] “But you haven’t looked at it in this state.”)

Now I suggest, not a class break, but a Seth break.

Now I am shortly going to close my session, but I have a few words for you. Now, as Ruburt told you, the Alpha I state is an adjacent state of consciousness, and when he has talked about it he has spoken about going below into other deeper layers, and also in his mind, he also has the idea of going above into other layers.

Now if you take any number of layers of consciousness and layer them in this manner, you should realize that each of them has adjacent levels of consciousness on either side, so to speak, so that it is not simply a matter of going up and down as if you were playing with scales. But you can also choose any number of adjacent areas, and there are interconnections between them. But since you must start somewhere, we will start with Alpha I and not with Alpha II. But you will learn to feel your own experience in reality in many other layers of consciousness. And I hope that in class, and alone, you will learn to communicate at various levels of consciousness. And I hope you learn to follow the changes in your own symbolisms that occur in these various stages.

Now first of all, you are dealing with symbolism and secondly, you have been using your clairvoyant abilities as, of course, you hope to do. Tell yourself that in the dream state this evening you will understand what the symbolism is. And if you do not get the answer, then I will tell you, but it is far better that you learn it for yourself.

And not of the man himself, but of a difference between the man and yourself. A difference in the behavior of two personalities that he holds dear. Now give us a moment here. He has been identifying with you as his male image. There are some adjacent personalities about your home which also serve as semi-images in this respect. When he is away from you, however, in his particular case, any characteristics that are not yours that he sees in his grandfather somehow become threatening. He wants to identify with both of you. He wants to think of you in some manner as one. Any individual differences between the two of you upset him. When the two of you are together, you and grandfather, there is no difficulty because the boy, in his own mind, interweaves these characteristics. When he is alone, however, with the older man, any characteristic of his that does not agree with yours becomes threatening to him.

I am speaking of the past. Now he cannot stand to feel loyalty divided. He must feel his complete loyalty to you or to another. He cannot seem to divide the two. When he is with you, his loyalty is yours. When he is with the grandfather, however, he relates to those characteristics that are like yours. Any characteristics that are different upset him and frighten him. They confuse his sense of loyalty and he feels that he is supposed to relate to the grandfather as a male image when he is away from you. He feels that this will hurt you, but more than this, it makes him feel insecure. We will try to go deeper into it for you. The hesitation, however, is translated into the speech mechanism.

This has to do, again, with the confusion, in his particular case, of loyalties. He has the feeling, I will not say he has been given the feeling, but he has it, that his father demands a strong emotional attachment on his part and deep loyalty, and he relates strongly to him for this reason, but when the father is absent then he experiences hesitation.
