“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 31

(Again this session took place without the board. As early as 8:35 Jane felt somewhat nervous. At 8:45 she had “no idea what he’s going to talk about tonight.” At 8:55, when I asked Jane if she had anything yet, she shook her head. She said that sometimes during a monologue she was aware that she was sipping wine or milk, and sometimes not.

(Jane’s voice during delivery tonight was a little stronger than usual throughout the session. Her pace was not fast, her eyes dark as usual.)

I do not know if Ruburt is less nervous before a session when you do not use the board, or more nervous. After so many sessions I would think that he would be reassured.

You can see now why the problem of creation does not really exist in the terms that you first thought of it. During one session I mentioned that since self-consciousness even exists in all living things, then the question of the exact entrance be specified becomes irrelevant.

I hope I will be able to make this entirely comprehensible at some future time. Nevertheless I will state a few matters now and you will understand them more fully in later sessions.

(Seth’s following answer, through Jane, tallied so closely with the words forming in my own mind that once again, as in the 28th session, I wondered if telepathy might be involved, as in the case of John Bradley.)

(Jane and I had not seen Miss Callahan since our visit of Feb. 26, described in the 29th session.)

(I had to laugh as Seth-Jane began the following monologue, for as soon as it began Jane got to her feet and resumed pacing. At the end of the session Jane said she got to her feet because she felt very dissociated sitting down; she was talking with her eyes closed and felt that she might slip into a trance. She said that Seth didn’t care about her position. I thought, though, that it was more than coincidence that Jane became more active, considering the subject matter of the next paragraph.)

I would also like to really bawl Ruburt out in strongest terms about his smoking habits. This time of year in particular too much smoking is not good; and he knows I was going to say this and blocked me nicely since the beginning of this session.

(“Did our cat sense you at the beginning of tonight’s session?”)

Your cat sensed me in the beginning of the session. He is however rather acquainted with me now. It takes a while for Ruburt and I to get together so to speak, and at that time I was diffused and he was confused.

I am ready to end the session, as I have been trying to watch your time and since Ruburt sends up such mighty shouts if I keep you over.

One of these nights Ruburt will get his because I will alternate a few sessions of regular material with a few sessions having to do with his present family.

(End at 11:38. Jane was very tired. She said that toward the end of the session she got the idea that our furniture-moving bout had helped get me through my danger period, which is the last part of winter, and that it had also taken care of her own first springtime burst of energy.)
