“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane, while trying psychological time on Tuesday, 5/26 at 11:15 AM, tried to project herself to Bill Macdonnel’s hospital room. She achieved a very brief glimpse of his face, eyes closed, nodding yes in answer to her question: Do you hear me? Checking with Bill later at the hospital, we learned he was asleep at this time. His condition is much improved and he is due for discharge Saturday.

Ruburt was correct. I was going to speak concerning the self and the so-called notself, so that we can clear up a few matters. It does seem to me however that we have been very sober of late, dealing with weighty concerns. However, I take my chances, getting good material through when the time is right, and we can be more jovial on those evenings when you are too tired to do anything else.

An individual or a self also cannot hide from others his own basic intent. It is his and yet, though he possesses it, he still cannot prevent others from sensing it. Along these lines there is much to be said in that many intangibles, considered most secret by the self, do not remain within the self. No skin or bones or skeletal cage can keep the thought of the self from going outward.

This will be a lengthy discussion, and I suggest that you take your break. Be careful of what you do with the pieces.

This will make sense to you as you contemplate it. It is true that these constructions take place on a subconscious level, but to the degree that you realize what you are doing, they will become more comprehensible to the intellect, until full awareness of the origin of physical matter would be reached.

If you then realize that every physical particle contains its own inner and initial consciousness, then you will see that we have come full circle. The individual or the self is all important. It operates to form as complicated a gestalt as possible, following the law of value fulfillment, and yet in so doing it does not either invade, deny or negate other individual consciousness. It is limitless because there are no limits to the possibilities of its value fulfillment, or to the number of gestalts which it can form.

I closed our last session somewhat earlier, and intend to do the same this evening. I had even contemplated cutting down the number of sessions, but do not want to do this.

You have both been slightly weary however, and since the material comes through much more easily now, I can say what I want with fewer words. I do not want either of you to become overtired, and I do not want to prolong a session when I have delivered my lecture for the night, simply because of any arbitrary idea of time involved, especially when you can both use the sleep.

My very best regards to you both, and do not feel upset at my closing a bit early. I know perhaps better than either of you when you become weary, and I also know when to press ahead. You must by now have some idea of what it means to take so much of your clock time for our sessions.

At various times your own energies change their rhythm. I do not mean to suggest that either of you are ill or in low reserves, simply that the psychic energies have their own cycles, and that these cycles must be respected, especially when they are being utilized so well.

You will perhaps think that some of your experiments had to do with secondary personalities, Joseph, but so far at least this is not so. Very soon now we will go into your experiences. I would now bid you both a most fond good evening.

Again, may I say that I look in on you now and then. Ruburt’s idea of taking the children’s classes at the gallery is a good one. I have not had the opportunity to go into her Mrs. Masters but I shall do so. The salesman’s ability of Ruburt’s will serve him well in the children’s classes. I am rather surprised that he and his Mrs. Masters have managed to get along as well as they have. I would caution him to be very calm at the gallery during the next two weeks. And now good evening.
