“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth began by stating that he had been with us throughout the evening. He said we had chosen a poor method of experimentation, if we did not want to contact him, since Jane has been conditioned to respond through him when we sought contact with discarnate entities. My idea had been that Jane might speak for another personality, such as in the Sarah Wellington or the Malba Bronson instances. See Volume 1, page 64 for the former, and 103 and 127 for the latter.

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.
