“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Those who need verbal messages most, and I am closing my eyes so no one will be offended, those of you who need verbal messages most, are those who have the greatest doubts about their own inner reality and experiences, (to Bette) but beyond that you distrust anyone who seems to have had a better education in this life than your own, and it is discrimination.

Now that is one level, and on another level you think, “I am of the earth and strong and vital, and those who rely upon such thin, high, intellectual matter do not know what they are talking about. I can be brutal in my honesty but at least I am honest and I do not play with words.” And this is a personality that you have set up for yourself because behind it all in the French court you glorified in the use of words, in the high play of intellect in what now to you would seem to be surface, artificial qualities of stereotyped verbal behavior. You are quite able to follow any discussion in this room and it is about time that you realized it and used those intellectual abilities that are your own, and it is about time that you stopped telling yourself that you do not understand that which you well understand. I am onto you.

(To everyone.) Now in one way you are all playing childhood games with yourselves, and if you will forgive me, I will use an analogy and remember it is an analogy. And an analogy is a fable, a tale, a story, or a parable that is innately true while it may not physically appear to be so. You are all children in one way playing beneath the maple trees, dreaming in the long twilights of your adult state even as your adult selves now seemingly so independent would not know what to say to your childhood selves if you met them; but within you the childhood self must also grow, and allow it its growth. In the reality that you know there are many boxes. You can travel from one box to another. The boxes are not prisons anymore than the cousin of Richelieu is hidden to the housewife who is now so proudly the housewife and so contemptuous, for Richelieu’s cousin who was also contemptuous particularly of housewives.

I was referring to several of you. You are one of them. I will not mention the others to whom I was referring since they already know, and I know that they know. You read that very well. You have traveled through the centuries. The particular relationships in the context do not matter for there are those who have had none in that particular respect. The main answer is that you were one of the ones to whom I was speaking.

I was not particularly speaking of myself. I have always, for example, honored both the evening and the dawn in my earthly reincarnations. I have always glorified in that which was directly before me and have had close relationships with those who came within my sphere. Listen to what I say in the context of the passage in that session.

A dandy was a gentleman with high and fine and fancy white fluffed collars in the latest fashion, who wore girdles and bound in his waist, who was flirtatious and usually quite artificial in behavior, who dealt above all things in ritualized verbal activities, who got where he could get anyway he could.

([Sue:] “Again, I’d like to ask; in the context of this class, are there two personalities here who are from the same entity?”)

Because you projected this upon her, and at one time it was a very safe place to project such feelings. There was a relationship in the past but not a deep one. You were simply afraid of expressing the feelings in any capacity, and projected them, therefore, upon a person who subconsciously you felt would not be able to reciprocate. You very nicely projected them upon a person who was bonded as you were by all kinds of taboos, specifically against any such behavior, where they would be least reciprocated in physical terms, when any such action would automatically involve all kinds of guilt and retaliation, the most difficult position of which you could conceive. You would have projected them upon a priest, but this frightened you even more because the male relationship held for you a feeling of terror. You did not, you see, project them upon a person who could immediately answer them in kind, with no strings attached; but a relationship could be easy, open, and immediate.

There can be, in the realm of possibilities—there will be—within a three month period, I believe, someone to whom you will relate quite strongly. This seems to be a male—now we are speaking symbolically, in that he seems to be coming from the left, which means, I believe, he will not be coming from your family, or perhaps even from this area, but someone that you do not know now, who will bring you an onrush of feeling and an openness of emotion. In the long run, I do not see this situation developing into a strong one. But the situation will serve to release your emotions and prepare you for other encounters. It will be, therefore, on your part an emotional rebirth or reemergence after a long period that seems to you as great and very dark.
