“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was not expected on our part, and took place without the use of the Ouija board. Since Seth had stated that unscheduled sessions would be the exception, Jane and I were waiting for the regularly scheduled session of tomorrow, Wednesday.

(As the three of us sat at the table sipping wine and discussing Seth, Jane began to get nudges from Seth every so often. It will be remembered that during the 21st session Seth had wanted John to stay as a witness. But tonight, since it was getting late and I had doubts about my ability to keep up with the dictation, I thought it better that we pass up the chance. I also thought Jane would be overly tired. John offered to leave, but I said aloud that we’d rather wait for our regular session time.

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.

I would now suggest a brief break, and do not again crack up into many pieces. I give you this very slight evidence of my humor merely to show that I am not after all one to carry grudges.

Such inner data makes its impression upon the physical brain and changes the personality as does any experience. In many cases such inner experience is retained in your memory cells. If you would simply for once, and for once Joseph I am not referring to you particularly, if you would for once demonstrate an openness and a willingness to accept such data on its own basis, without insisting upon evidence from the regular senses, then and only then will you have evidence that the outer senses can recognize.

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.

(I am afraid I did some half-humorous complaining about Seth’s reactions to my attempting to put off the session tonight; that is, I did not think I had been that impolite about it. I agreed with Seth’s interpretation of my seizure of cramps, though, and remarked that I would probably get the devil from him on Wednesday night also.

My dear Joseph, one word only: I would not leave you with the impression that I am truly displeased, or that I judge you unjustly. I do not want to hurt Ruburt’s feelings, and I have avoided making this statement thus far; however, for purely personal reasons I have been emotionally more involved with you in past instances. And I know your capabilities so well that when I seem severe it is only because I wish so for your happiness and success.

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.

(In this session Seth spoke of my past life and attributed my current patterns of life to the lessons learned by my previous existences. Of immediately provable fact is that during the session Jane [Ruburt] spoke with a deeper voice than usual, she had a definite Boston accent on certain words. Prior to the start of the session I had, in conversation, asked Robbie [Joseph] a question involving his point of continuous existence versus evolution. Seth answered my questions and while he was giving his general answer, other related questions would creep into my mind and these would immediately be answered by Seth. This happened so frequently that towards the end of the session, when I would think of a question I would have immediate confidence that it would be subsequently answered.
