“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I wonder: Watching the tree, did my inner senses tell me the limb would fall—information that I casually disregarded? Or is it just coincidence?

The wind knows the tree. The tree feels the wind. It knows it is not the wind, but only feels the wind. Likewise Ruburt feels me but is not me. I may be a big wind, but I am not her big wind.

I have mentioned before that there is no invasion of any kind in these sessions. Ruburt merely allowed himself to recognize my existence. Obviously, I exist whether he recognizes me or not. Nor, and this is strictly for the record, since I know that you both understand this, nor am I any so-called spirit.

It is even difficult for me to answer that, since you are partly on the track and partly way off. The emotional aspect of course would be the personality-essence. However it also has a structure that is very simple, but to you would appear complicated to the extreme. This is because of your present habit of thinking in word patterns rather than energy transferral complexes.

Once the session has begun he is confident. For this small favor I thank him. I do however understand the problem. You may ask me what you wish.

I mentioned in an earlier session that Ruburt helps in reassembling me, and here your affirmation, Joseph, is a great aid.

(During break we also discussed the falling tree limb incident that I wanted to ask Seth about, and the tooth that had been bothering me for several days. The moment Jane resumed dictation, her voice returned to very nearly its full volume and depth. Her eyes darkened as usual. By now her pacing was somewhat faster. Resume at 10:57.)

This is surely to be expected. Your own bodies are never, as you know, completely the same from one moment to the next. This change of molecular components on your level reoccurs constantly while the outward form retains its pattern. It is possible for me to change the form. It is no longer necessary that the same form be maintained and it is entirely impossible for the exact pattern to materialize upon your level. There can only be an approximation.

Your personality will also grow through such contacts. I hesitate to point this out, or rather Ruburt is hesitating about letting me point this out, but your present father’s personality would not have been half as hampered had he allowed it such contact. You do not have to fear heredity here of course, but rather examples received from him when you were very young.

All in all a splendid session. I’ve been attempting to get the point across about your father’s example now for three sessions, and finally Ruburt let me make it.
