“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

And here a word about this material. Ruburt’s mind is an excellent one, and well given to serve our needs at this time. There is a reciprocal agreement here, and a give and take that is unlike your friend’s idea of invasion.

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.

(I had to ask Jane to repeat the last few words of the above paragraph. As soon as I did a startling thing happened: Jane began to talk in a very loud and vibrant voice. It was as though she had suddenly received an extra charge of energy. This strong but not especially deep voice persisted, but did drop somewhat in volume after a couple of hundred words. Her eyes were very dark.)

In my operations in your plane I must use the materials at hand, but despite any ideas to the contrary this involves a give and take with all involved. I know you are waiting to hear more about your own particular function, but remember we are still condemned to the use of words, and Ruburt can only say so much at a time.

You, Joseph, were necessary, but we had to have this particular sort of intuitive intellect that could also deal expertly with words before we could actually begin; and it took Ruburt a long time to achieve this state because his conscious problems, and family relations and preoccupation with them, held him back.

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.

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.

Ruburt’s grandfather says that you are both two fine kiddos, and I heartily agree. My dear friends, I am with you more often than you know. You are both making many advancements, and tonight’s material will help both of you in many ways. I dislike leaving you, but know that you must be tired. One small word to Ruburt: he will stop smoking and he knows it. I have not pressed this issue.

One more word because of your discussion. The dangerous psychic explosions that I spoke of as being possible are very real possibilities, and involve even chemical changes in Ruburt’s own body; and I do suggest that you make some changes, either by returning to your regular workroom, Joseph, or by making the porch room into a temporary bedroom. Ruburt is unpredictable so I cannot predict what guise such an explosion might take, but it would be definitely dangerous and strong.
