“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

Now, people who believe strongly in your organized religions are used to thinking in terms of an inner world. For this reason many of them have been recipients of inner data from others like myself. They are endowed with a readiness to listen, for one thing, and with a helpful faculty for suspending camouflage logical thinking. However, there are disadvantages involved which I do not like to encounter.

Ruburt will never sit down and deliver the material in that fashion. As I have said, the human being is more than the sum of its parts, and you two together are more than just the two of you, and you together provide the needed power for these communications to take place. But I do not want to go further into this right now. The procedure will remain the same for quite a while. Changes will not occur until you are ready and prepared for them, and the material itself will prepare you.

I cannot go further into this now because I have not given you the principles involved as yet. What we will have when this happens is a gestalt, with no lessening of your individualities at all, but a merging that will bring greater abilities.

Now there are so many connections I want to make, and yet so many personal remarks I want to make, that I become all the more impatient for our still far-off release from words.

(Break at 10:05. “I feel like a full sail,” Jane said. She did not have much awareness during this monologue. Her hands felt all right by now and her voice had dropped to almost normal volume.

(By now Jane’s voice was very low. Her pace was slow.)

On the other hand he can use the experience, and nothing is lost to any great degree. However, this unjustified sense of inferiority should be conquered to some large extent, now that you realize that what you feel as your parents’ disapproval of you is not based upon any inferiority.

Despite the failings with which they were saddled they understand their own failings subconsciously, but neither of them can afford to admit anything in a conscious manner. In other lives they were both much happier, and that happiness sustains them now. In this life they are solving, or trying to solve, a variety of problems which have hung over them for a long time. They each have a life ahead of them on this plane. That is, one life at least. I’m not sure of the exact number. But the following lives should be relatively happy ones.

Joseph, you have helped your parents in more ways than I can tell you now, and given them more comfort than they can consciously admit. They even to some degree resent the comfort, but this is not your fault. You saved your father’s sanity at one point, and no one else could have done it.

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.

Now, it is true that Ruburt possesses strong psychic energy, as you do. But your unjustified sense of inferiority has held you back to some degree, though I believe that this is lessening now. I am sure it is lessening. In any case Ruburt’s psychic energy becomes at times undisciplined. For reasons that I will consider later he should not feel pent in.

His needs that I have spoken of are really fears, which is why I took so much time to discuss them. He is unpredictable in that he is temperamentally good-natured, but you never know when the rocks will fly, and neither does he. Added to this is his strong domestic feelings now as a woman; and this, my dear Joseph, explains the incredible amount of furniture movings in which you have been involved.

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.

And now my pigeons, night-night, except for one comment: A barricade in front of the door is not necessary.
