“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now over here we have great energy, and because I am aware of your conversations, strong power that is being withheld out of caution and fear. You have a strong core of energy tested too early and not under the best of circumstances, though at the time you may have believed so. You are much easier now, but at the time, there was an explosion of energy on your part that you did not understand, and you were afraid that in this explosion of energy you would go too far outward and there would be nothing left, so to speak, that you would get away from yourself and lose yourself beyond all hopes of recovery.

Now Ruburt did not know what he was going to speak about this evening and half of his talk in class is automatic, as you know, but it was no coincidence that he became involved in his talk of power and energy for you had a deep distrust of your own energy to sway people as a salesman (to Davey) as you had a distrust of your ability to sway people as a minister (to Joel) and as you also have the same feeling (to Davey), for what happens is this.

If you can sway others so easily then what is there to them after all, for you know who you are and what you are and you do not think you are all that great. If they listen to you like sheep, then how can you look to them with respect? How can you think they are worth saving? How are they worth what you want to give or can give? They are not worth the while. This is what you think when you put out this fine energy to sell a product (to Davey) and this is what you think (to Joel). Whether or not you realize it, your conception of the human race changes, for if you can mold another that easily then where are these fine abilities inherent in the race as a whole.

You do not trust those that you can sway. You trust an adversary because you cannot move him; and you think, there is a man, he will not listen to me, therefore, he must really be great, and you also feared him, and that is why you trust your enemies in a strange fashion for they convince you that a portion of the race is worth saving. Those that stand against you, you feel have a great energy and a great power.

Now I am speaking, in your terms, for I understand the way that you feel. I have felt that way many times myself. I have also, however, been one of the ignorant masses, in your terms, who listened to the ringing through the centuries. I have been taken in by every kind of con game that the centuries have known and what you have forgotten is that so have you. You have been on both sides of the fence. You are learning to know what energy is and how to use it. Now you are on one side of the fence, in your terms, but you have been on the other sides.”

Now, again, each of you have available to you the energy that sweeps through this frame. You can use it in whatever way you choose, but you will use it, and you use it every moment that you are alive and every moment that, in your terms, you are not alive. You are using it creatively whether you know it or not, and it shouts through you even though you purse your lips, and it speaks through you even though you tense your muscles to hide it. Therefore, it behooves you to become friends with it.

I did it for our friend over here. I do it for several reasons because it is an excellent display of the use of energy and because it is fun, because it is active peace and because it shows you that the dead can be more livelier than those who think they are alive. And also to show you that the ego structure is not completely annihilated.

Now I will shortly leave you, but before I do there is something I would like you to try. First of all, listen to my voice. Use it. Attach your own energy to it also. Let the sound of its energy rouse you from your own sleeping. Let it then rouse your own energy, lift you from your sleep. Energy is not only eternal but limitless. There is no limit to the energy that is available to you. Therefore, you do not have to worry that what energy you use is, therefore, denied you in the future so open up the doors within yourselves.

Imagine, if you must, that you have backdoors through which this energy emerges, fresh from the fountains of the universe. Now imagine this universe, imagine this energy connecting; focused, vital and strong. Close your eyes and imagine it in this room. Imagine all the energy that is available to you, here now, connected and send it outward to the woman in question. Send it through space and time easily through the vehicle of my voice. Use my voice, therefore, as a vehicle upon which unending energy can rise and let that power then of vitality and life and strength enter the body and spirit and mind of the woman and fill her with the feeling of vital life and give her the knowledge of herself that she now so desperately requires. Feel that energy glide as easily through the air as air currents; as naturally and as easily as the wind that feels both night and day. Feel it then fill her frame with vitality and strength and know that you have a part in this, and that through the part that you are playing are you also being filled with therapeutic energies and with vitalities that will rejuvenate your spirit and your mind.

And leave this place then in joy and freedom and exaltation and know that you have helped another, and that through opening the doors of energy are you then filled with it and ever replenished and that through giving do you receive. And I bid you then to return to this place and this room.
