“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.”

Now: Dictation: Ruburt and Joseph (as Seth calls Jane and me) have always seen themselves in a one-to-one relationship with nature and with the universe. They are individually motivated, in a sense loners. They shy away from large groups.

Helicopters could not land. They found themselves alone with the Seth material, their paintings, and other manuscripts of Ruburt’s. They had been using a mild version of self-hypnosis to produce a calmness and reduce any panic. But it was Joseph who suggested that Ruburt “tune in” to discover what could be learned about their situation personally.

(10:00.) They were left to observe the physical phenomenon, still watching the water’s rise but with the inner knowledge of safety. Ruburt needed the experience in order to gain added faith in his own abilities. Both of them needed the assurance that those abilities are natural, and can be used in private dealings with nature. Ruburt also found that he had put himself in a position in which he had underrated the importance of physical manipulation. Both Ruburt and Joseph are very mental people, however, and so they sought out this physical meeting with material phenomena and solved the problem according to their beliefs.

If so, what were the mechanics involved? Or even if her awareness had alternated between the two, why hadn’t this interfered with her spoken material?

In a highly materialistic society, the loss of an expensive home and other material possessions is a matter of great practical and symbolic nature. Many individuals therefore sought out that experience. (Long pause.) Many also found themselves reacting with a heroism they did not realize they possessed. A sense of community unity was born, a deep feeling of companionship that had not existed earlier.

1. Seth didn’t say that we also had a small-bore rifle (which has yet to be fired, even now), and a few medical supplies in our stock…. In April, 1961, a group of Cuban exiles landed at Cuba’s Bahia de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs) in a disastrous attempt to overthrow the regime of Fidel Castro. The confrontation between the United States and Russia over the latter’s missiles in Cuba followed in October, 1962, so once again it had seemed like a good idea to have supplies on hand.
