“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Joseph, your part in these sessions is extremely important. Without your participation they could not have begun, nor could they continue. Because of our past alliances the three of us are closely bound together. However, I need the two of you in order to come through at all. Later you will understand why this is so.

Joseph when your hands grow tired I do wish you would volunteer to take a break, and relieve me of an evergrowing compassionate concern for your physical condition. Surely after our pleasant chat the other evening you should know nothing of this sort would offend me, and I would much prefer more broken-up sessions, if they are necessary, than sessions in which I see myself as a torture master.

(Jane now turned off the brightest of our two lights, then opened the blinds as Seth requested. She stood at the window, looking out at our busy intersection one house away as she talked. Fresh snow covered everything.)

The view is truly astounding. I’m glad you live on such a nice corner; and as far as Einstein is concerned, he saw more than he knew he saw, and he was more than he knew he was. We will go into this thoroughly when we return to our discussion of time.

(I had mentioned asking Seth about Einstein’s theories during last break, and we had also mentioned our cat, Willy.)

(On a recent Friday night, we had just returned home from grocery shopping. Jane had opened some fresh food for Willy, and while he ate in our very small kitchen she began putting the groceries away. Carrying an empty waste basket, I walked out to the kitchen from my studio. Jane was kneeling, reaching into a cupboard, and Willy was momentarily trapped behind her. At my approach he began to hiss and spit quite madly, and raced about in a tight little circle, not being able to get out of the kitchen. Jane, her back to him, stood up so quickly that she banged her head on an open cupboard door. The blow was a hard one and left her somewhat dazed for hours. We had never seen Willy behave this way before, and in a few moments he was as friendly and calm as usual, and resumed eating.

So you see that the laws operate in such a manner that we are more or less kept in our place. Controls are applied. This subject will come up again and I will go into it more deeply. You have also seen that your cat can sense me to some extent when I am in his environment, so we do not get away with much.

I suggest that we close this session for this evening. I have endeavored to fill in some previously mentioned material tonight. After our last arduous meeting you really needed a bit of relaxation. Nevertheless as you read this material you will see that it correlates with many other matters, and forms necessary connections which will be important in future discussions.

It is not that I wasn’t feeling humorous this evening, merely that I didn’t think you could stand the full force of my really astounding sardonic nature. I just say these things to watch your reactions. And as far as assimilating our old friend Frank Watts, don’t let me lead you too far astray.

(Seated at the board, we touched our hands to the pointer. I spoke first, then Jane.
