“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I began work, sitting with my back to the tree so that I did not see the actual fall. I heard and felt a great roar. The whole house shook with a thump. I heard wires flap loose. Turning, I saw that this particular limb had indeed fallen. Fortunately, it had broken off halfway up, and its tip barely missed our house. Now the yard is littered with sections of limb several inches in diameter and perhaps twenty-five feet long. Our television cable has also been ripped loose.

(“Do you know who is working on these problems now?”)

I do not think you are pushing her, nor am I. It is known however that a feeling of affirmation and confidence is indispensable in any such circumstances. The tricky thing here is that a plus expectancy and inner confidence always brings the best results with the least effort. Ruburt is attracted by and yet doubtful of his own abilities. This is based upon the personal feelings of Ruburt, who is a woman now and does not wish to appear flighty or hysteric.

You however are not so afraid of your own abilities. I am speaking now of psychic abilities and the reason is again personal, since you have been aware of them in a somewhat different manner. You appear to others as dependable, responsible and disciplined. Ruburt, with a different appearance and with different personal background, particularly involving his mother, has been fearful of displaying characteristics that he would consider emotional because the emotional is such a part of his personality, and there has been a distrust here of the strong parts of his personality.

Yes. A witness now and then would probably also help Ruburt’s confidence, if you know of any persons.

(Now, Jane’s voice, which had been stronger than normal through the whole session, began to take on added timber; that is it began to grow deeper more than it increased in volume. I felt that this trend would continue. Already her voice had changed more than it had in any session except the 14th. She gave no sign of concern or surprise.)

(By now Jane’s voice was again lower and stronger.)

(“Is this why Jane’s voice is so much deeper now?”

(For now Jane’s voice was very deep and strong and vibrant. Listening as I wrote, I had flashes of feeling that it belonged to someone else entirely. I would say that it perhaps was even more pronounced.)

I mean Frank Watts. I now suggest a break.

(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.)

(“At that time you also said you didn’t know much about the inhabitants of that plane. Do you know any more now?”)

(By now, Jane’s voice had lost a little of its resonance and volume.)

(“Does Jane feel better now?”)

Your divider is an excellent camouflage pattern. In case you wondered Ruburt’s weekend fling with the furniture was a result of various things—an inner, unrecognized knowledge that her publisher would put off the book for now, and a burst of doubt over these sessions coupled with worries concerning your parents.

(“I’m quite sure she recognized the part about my parents. How is Miss Callahan now, by the way?”)

(Jane’s voice was by now quite a bit softer. It was obvious that she was tiring. Her pace was also slower.

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.

And now good night, my pussyfooted tootsies.

(“One smallest sliver of a thought/ Can cut its way through bone” could, Jane believes, be interpreted as a bullet in figurative terms. She states that consciously she had no inkling of the president’s death two days in the future, but now she wonders if unconsciously knowledge revealed itself in the poem.)
