“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I would like to continue with some more personal data if this will not bother you. Any time you become uncomfortable you have only to say the word. I am not a doctor but I am certainly giving you a dose.

For example had you left your last job when you were first very strongly tempted to do so, and when Ruburt urged you to do so, you would not have become sick in the way that you were. There would have been a period of finan cial strain but it would have been over by now, and it would have been a period of financial difficulties mainly. That is, you would have found yourself capable of dealing with the problem since you would not have used up so much energy as you tried to hold off the inevitable.

In the latter case which you followed you allowed your psychic energies to drop to a very low and dangerous ebb, from which you are now just emerging. I have been dealing with you first since you were very ill, and I would like to give you some insight to prevent such an occurrence in the future. And you must remember that the tragic possibilities discussed in our previous session represent but one sample of such possibilities that are occurring constantly with every individual and every family.

I intend to go into Ruburt’s peculiarities at my leisure, and I will. Nevertheless it is still you, Joseph, with whom I will be concerned for a while. The fact remains that Ruburt’s intuitions have been of fairly high quality. It is true that your particular talents can give variety and reason to many of Ruburt’s ideas. In many cases you could for example accept Ruburt’s basic intuitive impulse, and then make your own changes. For example you could have left your position at a much earlier time and then made your own plans accordingly. When you both are intuitively attracted to the same proposed move then in most cases it would be wise to make it. Because you are so—is the word wobbly?—after your exercises I suggest a short break.

Effects would seem to be evidence, and therefore when you probe into seemingly empty spaces you will receive effects which will be evidence. In concrete terms, if a tree branch blows you can take it for granted that something moves the branch. You know wind by its effects. No one has seen wind but since at times its effects are so observable it would be idiocy to say that wind did not exist. Therefore you will come up against the basic stuff of the universe and feel its effects, though your outer senses will not necessarily perceive it.

I dislike the use of so many terms; since the brain is observable, I am tempted to use it to cover all abilities pertaining to mind in general. This would make it easier for you. However I will resist the temptation. The mind contains the brain. Material which comes from the so-called subconscious comes from that part of the mind which knows no boundaries, either of time or space, and in a deeper sense knows no boundaries of species or planes in any manner. The simple fact is that you are using this portion of the mind as a tool. Exercising the brain exercises the mind also, but the mind has abilities of which the brain is ignorant.

(End at 12:10. After the session we discussed Seth’s analysis of my particular problems. Jane then wondered aloud if she would get good results when her turn came, since she was the one giving voice to Seth’s messages. She received the following very clearly:)
