“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Our sessions are important, after all, and not to be put off at the mood of the moment. As Ruburt told you, I was here at the regular hour last night and aware of the happenings in the household. I was of course perfectly willing to let last night’s session go, understanding the circumstances.

You are either conscious of self or you are not. On your plane self-consciousness exists as a rule. A tree is conscious of itself as a tree. It does not think of itself as a rock. A dog knows it is not a cat. What I am trying to point out to you here is this supreme egotistical presumption that self-consciousness must of necessity involve humanity per se. It does not.

There are many times that our paths have crossed, and that is why I wanted you here, and why you happened onto the art gallery where Ruburt is employed. Not that free will is not involved, because it certainly is involved. Only that old friends have a way of meeting. And I was not joking when I spoke of a predisposition to gout, for you have also been lecherous in your way.
