“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You all have your roles in class, as you have elsewhere, and you are afraid of disturbing the balance of the class. You have a good thing going and you do not want to lose it. You have various gradations of intellectuals; you have various gradations of those who are willing to express some emotions; you have some of those who are willing to disappear at the drop of a hat, and I am looking at no one in particular. I am the only one who expresses any emotions and I am supposed to be dead.

Now our friend, Ruburt, is not about to go for all this sexual hanky-panky that is described in this precious book, but the man who wrote the book picked up his information from the inner self and then he made a story about it. And when you come to class from now on I will expect to find you all here, not just the physical self, not just the intellectual self, not just the portions of yourself that you term, psychically inclined, but the emotional self. And I will expect to see it showing.

([Ned:] “You have to be sensitive, like you say you don’t have to be sad to be happy, but when you’re happy you have to be sensitive enough to realize that someone who is sad, that that is sadness. Therefore, you don’t have to be sad to be happy.”)

([Ned:] “But for the majority, the people who aren’t that sensitive, they have to be sad before they are happy.”)

Now you have said something and you can let out your joy in this room in class and also, your great fears. Blessed are they who realize what they say, for they shall say more.

Now many of you still do not realize what I say. You listen to the words and that is all, but the power behind the words, and the power behind the voice, is emotional power and emotional energy and it represents, again, energy that is within each of you and there is no need to be afraid of it. I am not worried about being dignified and adult. Why should you be? And why should you try to be psychically educated while closing yourself off emotionally from the others who come to class for you all have put up barriers between yourselves. You must learn to recognize and use and pool your emotional energy. You do not lose, but gain.

The interpretations that are put upon the remark itself may vary. The feelings, however, beneath are the same. It is you who divide them.
