“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Actually, you consider action which seems to be at least partially self-directive as living matter. Action that seems to be of a static nature, you refer to as inert matter. It should go without saying that all action is indeed self-directed action to some degree, and therefore should be termed as living matter.

(For one who felt poorly at the start of the session, Jane now said she felt fine. Seth had “knocked her out quickly.” Our cat, Willy, now became active as break wore on, and as he has done for most recent sessions. Willy began to stalk through the apartment, crying out; it was a cool night and no bugs were to be seen. Willy behaved in quite a scary fashion, looking all about him.

First of all, I would like you to notice that Ruburt’s voice is somewhat lower; and then with your permission I will continue.

—represents an outward transformation as Mark attempted to construct an accurate replica of material that he sensed with the inner senses, and as such it is the reconstruction of what I am. It represents the appearance that these abilities of mine take when at all closely connected with the physical plane. This does not necessarily mean that in all planes I have the same image.

All of your friends sensed that this house was good for you both. I am no banker. Nevertheless, I can tell you that you will have no financial difficulties; nor should Ruburt feel any fear concerning his own job at the gallery, in terms of the house and finances.

(Jane was sitting across from me at the table. As soon as I had my say she abruptly began to dictate again. Her voice was as deep as ever. She got up, walked over to the divan, and in a most masculine gesture proceeded to squat on one arm of the divan, leaning forward with her hands on her knees. I had never seen her use this gesture before. But there she sat through all of the following material. Her eyes were very dark.)

We will have our promised party in your new house, and some party it will be. I have put it off for my own reasons, and will make up. You may by all means invite Mark, and we will really have some time. I am not any old fogy, and I may very well give you a taste of my sense of humor that you will not soon forget.

There are few evenings when I have felt so lighthearted, and we will have an evening that will make up for all the heavy-handed sobriety which I am forced to use to get important material through your heads.

—he pushes me away. He is a stubborn lunkhead half of the time, and a stubborn donkeyhead the other half. All in all, he will do, but it shows what I must put up with.

All in all, I haven’t had such a good time at a session in months.

Most of all, I see a party.
