“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Finally I sat with her, ready in case the session developed after all. It was still light out; classical music played on the radio. Again Jane had been coughing all day, but when she rose to begin the session the coughing virtually disappeared. She began dictating in a voice a bit deeper than usual; her pacing was slow, her eyes dark as usual.)

Once this is understood, all the rest of our material can be seen in the light of both logic and intuition. It is, indeed, time that such a book be compiled, and I do suggest that when it is compiled you ask Mr. Wollheim to write an introduction. We will go into this more thoroughly as we progress.

This is our main message to the world, and this is the next line in man’s conceptual development, which will make itself felt in all fields, and in psychiatry perhaps as much as any.

You cannot include all the material in one book, obviously. That is why I would like the matters mentioned above to be definitely included in the first book, as other books will be based upon them.

I must therefore work within the limitations of both of your doubts, and your doubts and only your doubts, will hold us back. For both of your informations, and this is entirely without distortion, Ruburt, for all his bellowing, will find the following as impractical as you will, Joseph.

I speak not because I think that either of you will allow yourselves to follow my suggestions in this particular matter, but merely to tell you what could be done to, or for, all of our benefits.

For this he is to blame, and not you, since he knows intuitively what I will say; and out of fear and doubt he has refused to act upon the knowledge. You could have been persuaded, but again for all his yacking, he did not have the courage of his inner convictions, and really made no attempt to act upon them.

Both of you, being practical, hardly considered it. For all his talk, he feared failure and your opinion of it. If you want to test the validity of expectation, then I will not say I challenge you, but I merely gently submit the above schedule.

Above all the commitment. While other avenues are being used to approach financial gains, in this case they are relied upon too long. Ruburt fixed the car, so to speak, in his own psychic manner. He would never have fixed it with a screwdriver, if he had a screwdriver in his hands.

(Break at 9:27. Jane was dissociated as usual. She had not coughed at all. She resumed in a quieter voice at 9:30.)

My purpose here was not, and is not, to put either of you on the spot, but to point out the course that has the very best chance of success for all of your endeavors, and to hope at least that you would follow it.

It is precisely because Ruburt will be cut off from funds that he will permit himself, and demand of himself, that he use all of his tremendous energy in his work. Not in any sort of conscious desperation, but in the sudden and joyous release of energy toward constructive ends.
