“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is nothing to be done. The character will learn to grow, and has been extremely hampered in development thus far. The situation which she will encounter is still unfortunate, but nevertheless of a lesser nature than would have been encountered here.

The predicament will, indeed, involve the man with whom she is presently connected, and will have to do with a renewed dependence upon those drugs which he had been so dependent upon at one time. The local situation would have been disastrous, culminating in her suicide. This will not occur now.

The local situation would have involved five people, two of which are known to you. The public humiliation would have been too much for her. The man will still become involved, not in the location to which they will be presently situated, but in another within a period of a year. That is, he will be involved but not discovered. She will know, however, that he has been taking the drugs again but will not betray him.

The personality of the woman is given this time to suffering. However after this incident her situation will change for the better over a period of three years. The man, had they remained here, would have been a main participant in a dope scandal that has not yet broken but is even now gathering.

Incidentally, I always—at least recently—preferred a good cigar, and if Ruburt ever follows my advice and gives up cigarettes, a good cigar would suit my fancy.

I find his subconscious an easy point for entry. He has always been independent, impatient and stubborn. If he were not, I could speak through him in a much clearer voice. Nevertheless I would not enjoy it as well.

I told you that without telepathy language would be meaningless and ineffective. It is true that each of you constructs his own physical universe, and responds to it. It is also true however, that through continuous telepathy you are acquainted with the ideas of others concerning their approximate physical universes; and while you construct and see your own, you also construct any given material object taking into consideration its approximate size, width, thickness and location, as received through telepathy from others.

(This is really weird, and though it is now 11:00 AM as I write this I am still shaky. I was rather tired this morning but began work on my ESP book as usual. As 10:00 AM approached I did decide I would have to rest for half an hour; I then got the idea of putting myself into a light trance and suggesting that my subconscious would consider any problems I might encounter in the chapter I was working on. At 9:55 I turned the radio off in the front room where I was working, and leaving the doors open between the front room and the bedroom, I lay down.

(As I began to put myself in a light trance state, suddenly from the living room came a static noise such as our radio often makes. It was loud and unmistakable, with a voice-like sound in it also. I knew very well that I’d turned the radio off, but I was tempted to get up and check, and under ordinary circumstances would have done so. However, I then remembered something that had happened sometime last week when I had also been trying psychological time, that I had forgotten. That time I had also turned the radio off, but then I kept on hearing music from it, in varying volume. I started to get up but remembered the click the switch made when I had turned it off, so, curious, I stayed on the couch and listened. The orchestrated music continued for perhaps three or four minutes before fading away. Later I checked the radio and it was indeed turned off. Today after I got up I checked the radio and it was turned off also.

(This is but the beginning. Today I listened for the noise again but heard nothing. I then continued putting myself in a light trance, suggesting that my subconscious would give me an experiment that would prove the validity of clairvoyance, premonition or prediction for the chapter I was working on. I was thinking in terms of an experiment for the reader to try.

(I told myself then that I could travel if I wanted to; look, I told myself, and you shall see; my feeling of ecstasy came, but in a reassuring rather than frightening manner. I suggested that I would snap out of the state in half an hour as usual, and that I would feel renewed and energetic for the rest of the day.

(I was so startled and shocked that I came to instantly. I was shaking with amazement. The voice was very impatient in tone. As I snapped to I was answering it aloud, but cannot remember what I was saying. The sound of the voice was very loud—it scared me as a sudden loud sound will. I had the feeling that I could have asked more and that it would have been answered, but this was right after I came to. I regretted coming to, as the answer I received was the kind that makes you want to ask more questions.

(It was just 10:30 when I snapped out of the state. The alarm had not yet rung however. Did I come to then because I had told myself I would at 10:30, or because of just plain fright?
