“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now we have here, for all of your benefit, some examples, both here (Davey) and here (Mary Ellen) and here (Joel) of one particular phenomena. Out of humility I do not speak of myself.

(To Davey.) Now here we have a too early blooming of abilities before the overall personality was able to handle them, and we also have a great contrast in attitude for we have on one hand the determination to show up all fraud, and on the other hand, the fear underneath that our own experiences could somehow be fraudulent. And, therefore, you could not trust yourself and found yourself unable to continue. The dilemma came, therefore, and you avoided the field of endeavor.

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.”

I am not finished with you, I was simply speaking in terms of one particular phenomena. I did not mean that others did not have strong abilities. These were simply examples of one case in point.

([Gert:] “During psy time I got a picture, I think of myself, as a man standing in a grassy area, like someone’s backyard, and a woman. There were three children. She carried one on her right hip and I would say about 18 months old, about a two year old and a five year old, and the girl had braids, and they were looped around, and she had a big apron on. I didn’t see her face, but I got the feeling that she was my wife and that I was not being very compassionate or understanding to her. My question is, was this me or was it something I was picking up?”)

It was in a life both in Sweden and Denmark. There were two lives. One in the 1500’s or late 1400’s and one in the 1700’s. One as quite a cosmopolitan around Oslo. None of that material, however, has any bearing now on the specific challenges on which you are working. The lives were relatively neutral. You were picking up, however, your own feelings at that time.

Now give us a moment. You joined a navy not of your own country. I believe the English navy during one of these lives and traveled far off the north coast. You spent, also, some time in Ireland, and this is approximately now 1732 to 1750 at which time you retired. You were extremely dogmatic. Given to ceremony, again, counting your brass buttons. Working to be the equivalent of an admiral.
