“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This statement, Jane informed me, made Seth boiling mad. She insisted that I get pen and paper, that we have a session now with John as a witness. So the session began. At its end will be found a copy of John Bradley’s handwritten, dated and signed statement that he was a witness.

(Through this session Jane’s voice was rather stronger and a bit deeper than usual. Her eyes darkened as usual, her pacing was slow. She later told me that at the beginning she was very nervous, since this was her first time before a witness. In addition we had more lights on than usual, and this bothered her at first. But the feeling soon left.)

You are excellent teachers, I must admit. However, Joseph, while I admit I came uninvited, and while I understand the reason for last night’s absence, I took it for granted that we would have our regular session this evening. And I find it very impolite of you to restrain me in this fashion.

This evening however was different. You were polite to your guest and I recognize his presence. You were not, however, as polite with me. Ruburt was dubious about a session with company present. However he was willing to listen to me irregardless, and I must admit that in no way do I understand your cutting me off in such a brusque manner.

You may call me Seth, John, although in case you are interested your entity name is Philip. Because, Philip, you are such a good witness, and I must admit because I too have known you in the past, I consider you an old friend, and we shall to some extent renew acquaintance.

I always delight, if you will forgive me, in astounding the present personalities of acquaintances by letting them know that I have known them before. It is a failing of mine but I enjoy it. And you, Philip, were twice a woman and once a Moor of some considerable stature, as well as the personality in Boston which I have already related.

(“Like me?”)

Had you been more helpful in the circumstances of last evening, you would not have had to turn your emotions inward in a self-destructive manner. I am so fond of you, my pigheaded Joseph, that it pains me severely to see you so misuse yourself. And as for towering-strength Ruburt, don’t depend upon this too far, for a weaker tower of strength I have never seen.

(Walking into the living room before preparing for bed, I was surprised to find Jane standing silently at her desk. Staring at me, she then pointed to a pen and paper she had evidently placed there on the desk. As I sat down to write she began to dictate. Resume at 1:35 AM.)

Ruburt picked up some communications from me last night. One which he did not get clearly was that you can take some consolation in the fact that your whole self is not as deeply affected by your present parents as you would suppose, and I promise to help you attain further important freedoms from any bad influences along this line, in a manner that will still allow you to help them without hurting yourself.

(Jane said then she had felt for some time that Seth was more emotionally involved with me than with her. However, she had never mentioned this, to the best of my knowledge.

(I, the undersigned hereby certify that I was present at the above numbered session. With me were the principals through whom and to whom Seth spoke.
