“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 51

(Jane was up from her nap by 8:30 PM. At 8:55 she said she was not as nervous as usual before a session. She had the feeling that Seth had “taken care” of her somehow this evening, putting to rest her concern over witnesses. I showed her our growing list of psychological time experiences, in the hope that Seth would discuss them tonight. Jane began dictating in a voice a bit heavier than usual, and maintained it throughout the session. All evening she paced back and forth slowly, hands in pockets. Her eyes darkened as usual.)

I spoke in our last session of the cooperation existing between the cells of the body, and of the cooperation existing between the atoms and molecules that make up the cells and organs.

The inner ego knows what it is about. This inner data is transmitted through the mental genetic system by way of the generalized molecular consciousness to the chromosome system, and the chromosome system then translates data into a physical code for the cells to follow. You will find this fits in with the material from our previous session.

The material dealing with the interrelationship and cooperation of the various species in their combined maintenance of your physical universe, will take many sessions. However, I will go into the methods involved. You already have a basic statement concerning the mechanisms involved.

(Break at 10:35. Jane was dissociated as usual. During breaks, we had been trying to fill Jim Tennant in on some of the basic points of the material. Jim agreed that it might be a good idea for him to begin reading back sessions while Jane and I were holding our Wednesday night sessions, thus killing two birds with one idea. He also spoke of recording some sessions, to which we have no objections. Jane resumed in her same deliberate manner at 10:45.)

I have rushed in one manner, giving you some excellent material to follow that last session, and yet the quality did not suffer, though I pushed Ruburt rather far. He was somewhat concerned since you have begun having witnesses, and you will see the material speaks for itself. This is a process of education. When you are asked about these sessions, that is your answer. On my part, I am an educator. Any results or so-called demonstrations will be the result of training, study, discipline and exercises.

I have often told you of the possible dangers involved in approaching experiments without the safeguards of discipline and study. After attendance at an initial session, those interested should then begin a study of the material. In no instance should any experiments be tried by witnesses in the beginning.

There is another reason. I do not want these sessions to get the reputation of giving demonstrations, for reasons that are rather complicated. The way in which I have given you the material results in a steady progression, and this is important. At later times my attitude may change. However, because of the attitude in the scientific world at large, these sessions should have a more sober climate, in that I do not want either of you to be thought of, in Ruburt’s words, as a pair of nuts.

And I am just the boy to give the sessions a sobriety, as you well know.

I suggest that we end the session, though I still have much to say. Nevertheless a brief discussion with your guest will be beneficial and is in order. And we will still get to your experiences, Joseph, and Ruburt will hear himself discuss his own.

Good night, tootsies. I look forward to our next session. And we will still have our party session, Joseph.

(It might be added here that John Bradley, our drug-salesman friend from Williamsport, PA, who has been a witness several times now and has read some of the material, visited us on Tuesday, May 5, the day before this session was held. He told us again about a lawyer friend of his in Williamsport, who wanted to witness a session, and indeed was willing to make the long drive [about 200 miles round trip] solely for this purpose. Jane had been unsure as to what to say the first time John had mentioned his friend, since her experience with witnesses had been very limited. We have had several witnesses since then however, so she told John his friend would be welcome now; John may make arrangements as to the date by mail.)
