“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Break at 9:43. Jane felt that Seth wanted to go on, but had so many points of departure to choose from that he couldn’t decide which to pursue first.”I can feel him buzzing around,” she said just before she resumed dictating at 9:50.)

This is what the ego does when it reacts too violently to purely physical data on your plane. As a result it stiffens and you have, my well-meaning friend, the cold detachment with which you have faced the world. I do not want to digress here. I have certain points in mind for this evening. Nevertheless lest Ruburt thinks he is getting off scot-free, let me remind him that the tree’s bark is quite necessary, cannot be dispensed with—but I will get into that and into Ruburt at a later time.

Had you stayed in Miami your crazy Ruburt would have pointed out an apartment house in a fair section of the city, but rather far from the ocean, I believe something like Dunlop Street, where you would have found an apartment.

She would have taken a private plane to Minneapolis. The plane would have crashed, and she would not have survived. So if you think of opportunities missed think also of tragedies avoided, because but for you she would have taken the job to get out of Sayre. I wanted to bring all these points up this evening so that you will see that while you did not always take the best course, you had the sense between you to avoid the worst ones.

(At this point our cat Willy became very insistently affectionate. Jane had taken a chair while dictating, and he wormed his way up into her lap and began to purr. His eyes were unusually dark, as were Jane’s.)
