“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Here is an exact copy of that material, delivered October 9, 1970 between 8:00 and 9:30 P.M., referring to Living Time by Nicoll.

(Here came the first interruption. … Rob came into the kitchen. The dictation stops, or rather, it was still there, but I couldn’t get it. It resumed after the interruption:)

In this experience, it is Thanksgiving Day. My mother’s family is here also. I am in the sunroom watching my father take food from a buffet set in the dining room. My mother and her sister are in there, talking. Suddenly my father becomes angry, throws his plate onto the rug and grabs another. My mother begins to cry. I remember probabilities, however, and instead of becoming upset myself, I send my father thoughts of peace and health. I know that now the scene will not happen this Thanksgiving in physical reality — that I have helped choose another more positive one. The scene ends. I feel as though I have been both watching and participating. I hear Seth remark: ‘You learn well, and manipulate equally well.’

I have also been visiting our friend, here, but we have a very scary soul indeed, for she ran the other way. You think of the body as a warm house indeed, and you are loathe to leave it.

At this point, I am suddenly hit with the the knowledge that this is the dream state of another probability system involving Jane and Rob’s probable selves here. I suddenly say to them, ‘My name is Sue Watkins, and my husband’s name is Carl.’ They give me a rather nasty ‘so-what’ look.

What I want you to see here is that the communications do not just operate in a vertical, ascending or descending fashion, but horizontally, in those terms.
