“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(By 8:50 Jane felt definite stirrings from Seth, which pleased her because she didn’t have to wonder about how she would do this evening. I had the board set up, ready for the opening of the session. But at 8:55 Jane surprised me by beginning to dictate. And so again we did not use the board to open a session. Jane began to pace rather rapidly.)

It was in the way and he kept waiting for the exact most favorable moment to dispense with it and speak for me, so that he actually became anxious. It was a necessity for you both in the beginning, however, and do not let it go—that is, do not return it. It has sentimental value, and for me.

There is so much I want to say. When your training is further advanced, much further advanced, we may be able to take certain short cuts. It is difficult for me to have to string out this material in words, and for you to record it. You see, it is possible in theory for you to experience directly a concept-essence of the material in any given night’s session.

As for another advancement you have made, beside dispensing with the material board—and this advancement has to do with the so-called flashes that Ruburt has received between sessions—he has achieved a state in which he can receive inner data from me more readily. But beyond this he is now able in some small way to contact me. That is, I have contacted you in the past, and now you are gaining the ability to contact me, and this is a step forward on your part.

One reason for the success of our communications is the peculiar abilities present in you both and the interaction between them, and the use that you both allow me to make of them. Ruburt’s intellect had to be of high quality. His conscious and unconscious mind had to be acquainted with certain ideas to begin with, in order for the complexity of this material to come through.

Material like this is sifted through many layers of subconscious conceptions, and is subsequently colored. People strongly believing in your organized religions color the material in a manner that is highly disadvantageous, and that unfortunately often adds to existing superstitions. Ruburt’s mind, believe it or not, is much like my own; though, if you’ll forgive me, in a very limited fashion, therefore the distortions are much less distortive, much less harmful, and more easily discovered and cleared.

We will not always be hampered by the need of words. Ruburt’s book, Idea Construction, displayed for me the fact that he and I could work together. Neither of you are empty channels to be filled willy-nilly by my communications.

Others less perfectionist than myself are content with more distortion. I am not. Ruburt’s Idea Construction was rather amazing. The inner senses provided him with much, but nevertheless the ideas contained represented an achievement of the conscious mind. I was drawn by this to realize that you were ready for me.

This experience alone with me will yield financial benefits, but not because you would naturally like it to be so, but because you are expanding, and for some other allied causes. As far as parents are concerned, face it. You were saddled with rather troublesome ones, and for reasons which I will go into sometime later; but not involving guilt of any sort.

You had no problems with parents in the past, and my dear Yo-yo, you were an excellent father to me at one time, and if I may say so at one time I was an excellent father to you.

(Here Jane broke off her delivery to say to me, “My hands feel fatter than the devil.” She spoke as quickly as she could, without changing her voice. Later she confirmed my suspicion that it had been very difficult to do this in the middle of a monologue. Yet the revelation of Seth’s involvement with me produced such a startling and rapid phenomena on Jane’s part that she wanted to let me know when it happened. For some time after this she continued to rub and to examine her hands as she paced back and forth. Her voice remained strong.)

To me this is all so obvious that I almost hesitate to mention it, but this is because I tend to forget what human existence on your plane actually involves. These are but one set of parents. As a parent yourself you performed exceedingly well, and as a son also. You see, when you really realize the sum of yourself these problems will fade entirely, but please in the meantime take my word for it.

(Jane had also mentioned to me yesterday a flash she had received about the self-conscious self behind the ego; this in addition to the material on Ruburt’s psychic explosions. We also discussed Seth’s remarks about financial problems. Resume at 10:09.)

I am now in contact with your parent’s entity and he tells me that subconsciously even his present personality, that is your father, appreciates this fact and loves you deeply. He himself, that is your father’s entity, feels no pain because of the present personality’s problems, since he is working out so many necessary kinks.

Ruburt was put upon to some extent. He enabled me to present material without any distortion to speak of, which is difficult.

And now most devoted friends, a fond good evening. I will always help you to the best of my ability, and as far as I know I will be accessible for your present lifetimes. And dear Joseph, if you whacked me many times, I got my blows in too. And I made Ruburt one lovely wife—so there, my lovelies.
