“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Sue.) And I have a few remarks for our friend here. When you are emotionally concerned about the person for whom you are working, then imagine a distance between yourself and the situation that you see. Try to see it from a different perspective.

(To Theodore.) This will also help our Dean, here. (To Sue again.) For if your own fears for the individual become involved, then it is more difficult for you to perceive the reality. So, in your mind, step aside a few more steps, give yourself the suggestion that you will perceive the situation from another perspective. You will find then that the details become much more clear to you. Whenever you are working, particularly with yourself, this is a good idea. If the fears happen to be fears that you have yourself encountered, you will be drawn to them. You will perceive them particularly because of the associations involved. On the other hand, however, you will need to separate yourself then after the initial contact has been made. This is particularly helpful when you are face to face with the person for whom you are working for, you must not allow your own emotions to frighten them. Do you follow me?

Now you are beginning here an exploration, and it will be an individual exploration. And even some of you who have not before entered in will now do so. The exploration of consciousness cannot be done from the outside. It cannot be done from the safe but distant framework of concepts. You have to enter into the reality, and this is what you will be doing.

Now there are some physical mechanisms that will help. For example, when you are beginning, unfocus your eyes, let them go. What you are going to see need not be the physical room in which you sit. Unhinge your mind. Think of your mind as a door. Usually it is closed. One portion of it faces physical reality, ordinary working consciousness, and usually it is here that you focus. Unhinge it, let it sag on its hinges and glimpse what is on the other side. Let your muscles go, no one is going to attack you. Be open and receptive. The visual contact, however, is particularly important so that you let the eyes relax. The brain patterns automatically change, let them go. You do not need the electroencephalograph to let you know when you are in Alpha I. If you want, you may imagine a particular kind of pattern as being your waking consciousness, as in a graph with the very quick motions representing delta and then slowing out gently for the Alpha patterns, if you prefer.

Now I can lead you as far as you want to go and as far as you are willing to go and no further. But each of you in your dream and sleep states know your own identity. Each of you know that you are more than the here-and-now self that you recognize, and to the extent that you liberate this knowledge, you progress.

I bid you a fond good evening and, again, those blessings that I have to give, I give to you, and those that I do not have you will have to get for yourselves. And to see that we have a grand finale, let me say again, that the energy that is available here is available to each of you. You all have reservoirs of energy that you do not use, sources of strength that you do not admit, so use them. It should not take anyone dead as long as I to bring you this message. The vitality that rings, however distorted, through this voice rings through your own molecules and through the tip of your ear and through your (word lost).  This energy is a part of you that you have denied. Free it, liberate it.

In your terms, spring is coming and all those idiot flowers are ready to bloom. And they have not said, “Whyfore there, am I about to bloom, and how is it I am now a seed and soon will be a flower? And what makes the world go round, and why is it that this darkness in which I am enclosed will soon open, and I can shoot like a rocket toward the sun?” But they know their acquiescence and their affirmation, and so listen to your own for it speaks in a silent voice, and yet it speaks in terms of energy that only here is translated into sound.
