“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I have endeavored to avoid this sort of occurrence from happening. Ruburt has increased his abilities, or rather learned to handle them more competently since that time. He learns as he goes along, so that he will be able to recognize the actual feeling of such distortions and avoid them, as this evening he was able to feel his own attempt to block the initial portion of my greeting.

This fact is responsible to a large degree for your death shock, and for the more powerful birth shock, when the new personality awakes to the prisonlike clutch of rigid camouflage pattern. Other levels have different and sometimes severe problems of a different type. One of the basic purposes of existence on your plane is to enable the personality to focus powerfully and to form basic vitality into creative pattern. Sometimes the lesson is learned too well. However, it is extremely difficult for personalities to learn to organize vitality well enough to give it form, and therefore some troubles are to be expected.

It is a giant step and a vital one, for without it the personality would be at the mercy so to speak of the very energy of which he is composed. He must learn to organize and command it, and your plane is one of the many where he gains practice and discipline in this respect. Otherwise you would have a willy-nilly chaotic arrangement, with the personality incapable of maintaining any discipline as far as his own chemical and electronic components were concerned.

Now as for my remark about learning. This whole experience would be so vivid that it would be impressed upon your personality pattern with such impact and clearness that you would never forget it.

As far as these drugs are concerned there are a few points I would like to make. One of your purposes as I have said is to learn to organize energy units and to focus your own energy along those lines. That is, you are the energy that you use. The self-consciousness is not to be blotted out but taken along. It is so to speak to walk side by side with the inner self.

We have covered some necessary material this evening that will be a basis for further later sessions. In particular read over the instance of our imagined inner sense experience and the learning implication involved.
