“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth caught me. I wanted book work to continue, yet I was sure that his unexpected digression would also be interesting. It was — very much so: In material covering several pages, he discussed my mother and her recent experiences with probabilities in her advanced old age. The complicated family situation involving Mother Butts isn’t gone into here, but Jane and I decided to include the more generalized parts of Seth’s information; we think it will help others in their relationships with old people.

Her very actions are serving as learning patterns for the entire family. Despite appearances there is not a dulling of sense impressions on her part, but an infusion. The difficulty in concentrating does result from this, but then she is concentrating elsewhere.

(Long pause at 11:25.) Her feelings of independence are reincited, and will at last lead her to want to leave the family in general — not to cling to her “boys” (my two brothers and myself) — and they will also serve as an impetus to growth on her part not realized earlier.

She will finally want to be independent of her body, but she is not cowering; she is struggling to free herself. There is much more…. In one way the family’s treatment of her like a child is accepted, for it provides the thrust for independence in the same way that a child wants to grow up and leave the house. So your mother’s independence is aroused. In a way she wants to be free of the house of life that she has literally formed, to find a new endeavor … to begin anew. In a teenager her remarks would seem legitimate. She also wants to begin a new life.
