“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am aware that you would prefer that I continue with my discussion upon action. But indeed we have here quite a practical application, and I intend to go into other earlier symptoms that should have, and did not, give you warning.

Basically this concern for human welfare is indeed virtuous, but overindulged in it becomes loaded with possibilities that could be most unfortunate. You knew I was going to light into you this evening, as Ruburt would say. What I want, here, is the balance. Neither plunge yourself into the ignorance, doubts and injustices, so that you can see nothing else, nor close your eyes to them. But there must be a place within you where these do not exist, or the freedom of the inner self will be hampered, as far as its connection with the ego is concerned. Your deep consideration for human problems has indeed helped lead you to these sessions.

There is much to be said along these lines, but you still need preparation, in terms of information, before you can benefit as much as you should. We come here for example into many questions. The future, in your terms, is not foreordained, and is at no moment fixed.

It is true that what will occur, in your terms, has already occurred in other terms, and that it is possible to perceive beyond your now into your so-called future. But here I am very careful of tampering, for tampering with “your” present tampers with “your” future. I suggest that in the last sentence you place the word your in quotes.

Ruburt, without realizing it, entered into psychic swordplay with her, for her own chronic and critical inner bitterness sought out your own. On some other occasion I will discuss this particular character with you, for there is much to be learned here.

My heartiest regards for your health. You may here take a break; or, considering your convalescence, I will end the session.

I could indeed continue now along other lines. However I think it best that you retire for the evening. I did not neglect you, either, while you were ill, but the circumstances did not warrant a direct action on my part. I was here. I kept an inquiring, sometimes severe, sometimes amused, sometimes concerned, but always watchful eye upon the household.
