“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Here, Seth of course was referring to Lee and Judy.

As you should know here, I do not speak in terms of payment, I do not speak in terms of suffering, of making up. I do not speak in terms of his being forced to make up. I speak in terms of his own choice. For his own development he chose to make up, because of a past lack of sensitivity, because of a certain exhilaration felt in those days in cruelty, and because in those days his emotions held no sway, but what he considered cold reason led him on. But this reasoning, divorced from emotions led him into his own betrayal.

This time we see the development of the personality. We see that balances have been made here, we see the emotions having stronger bearing upon the personality. We also see, as I mentioned in your own case Joseph, we see an attempt to overcompensate. As once he would not trust the emotions and does not trust his reason, this being an attempt to compensate. Indeed its purpose is a good one, but any compensation of this sort must be balanced by the personality itself in all cases.

(Unfortunately, we are unable to distinguish here as to whether Jane pronounced the word forefinger, or the two words, fourth finger. Her diction was not quite clear enough on the tape for us to distinguish between the two. The question arises because after the session Lee Wright said that as a youngster he had injured the forefinger of his left hand. Indeed his finger bears even now a scar near the tip. Seth’s use of the phrase “at one time,” could refer, we suppose, to either a past life of Lee’s, or an earlier period in his present one.

Death came at one time from a knife wound. The involvement between the two personalities of the man and the woman at this time is a good one, as far as commitments previously in other lives is concerned. We find here also a balance of strong points and weak points, and again, compensations.
