“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I bid you all a fond good evening, and I do indeed have something to say. I do want to comment on your experience and your work thus far. Now, I am a very fine, kind old gentleman, at least in this aspect, so you need not be nervous. I admit that the circumstances, the voice, may make me sound severe. This is a matter of the mechanics.

So you are embarked upon valuable work and experience. You are only beginning to ask the correct questions. Hypnosis is an excellent tool, you are using. It is valuable indeed. As you learn to ask the proper questions, it will become more valuable. You need to grow beyond the concern for the nature of the light. In the terms of which I am speaking, this is not the kind of question. That kind of question will only give you a certain kind of answer, and if you follow that course then you will follow a question-and-answer course, but without learning anything more than a series of questions and answers that have meaning only within a certain limited framework. So you must lead yourselves free of that.

(To another student) You did indeed have some valid dream experiences, and you only remembered a portion of them. And as Ruburt told you earlier you were involved with a group before the time of Atlantis and you have been together often. But many times you have been too exclusive in your relationship, again as Ruburt told you.

You can become far more aware of your own thoughts and far more aware of your own honest attitudes. Often you do not approve of them, or they frighten you, and you shove them down into the other portions of your mind. There they can indeed do damage. If you get into the habit, however, of tuning into your own stream of consciousness you will find the person that sometimes will seem quite a stranger to you. And that person will be yourself. You will not only shove down ideas that seem negative, however, you will also shove down feelings of generosity, particularly toward people that you do not like, feelings of joy because you feel too guilty to think you should feel joy. You will shove down all kinds of impulses, and so you will not know yourself, and you will block off impulses that you really should accept, recognize and admit as portions of yourself.

(To Edgar) Now you should not sit back and say because a particular thing happened to me in the past I have this attitude. Once you realize that is the reason you must also know that you are an entire individual and can indeed change that pattern of reaction and feel within yourself that energy that you feel, that upsurge of strength and vitality that lets you know you can do this and court that feeling of energy and teach her to court it.
