“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is reasonable, logical and even necessary at this time that you do not parade yourselves, giving sessions as one would put on a vaudeville act. Nevertheless when an honest request is made either to attend a session or to hold a session, and when you know that the person making such a request is sincere, and if other conditions are appropriate, then by all means it would behoove you to meet with the request.

I suggest that they follow the lines of expansion rather than contraction, in that the personality projects itself outward toward All That Is, hence drawing upon the energy of the universe, and extending the reaches of the self.

A steady program, such as I have outlined, because of its conditioning routine, will allow the personality a progressive and safe entry into psychic experience that is firm, and will also strengthen the ego in its relation to environment. This is not to suggest that the ego is weak in this case, for it is not. But its ability to relate to others on the physical plane needs strengthening, particularly since the personality is vitally concerned with psychic investigation.

[...] It is performed however in solitary and divorced, as it must be, from an intimate contact with people. It is only natural that you carry this over into our sessions, preferring that they be held without such contact. This is not only understandable but in many instances profitable, in that it allows for a diversity of subject matter.

And despite all comments to the contrary, this is by far the most difficult discipline; but without it the inner self is not secure in its journeys, and is like a boat with no harbor to receive it, and like the man without a country, with no place to return. [...]

Twins use communication of the inner senses all unknowing, and what Loriza read of the material moved her subconscious to intuitive realization. The communication between twins is freer than it is with others. [...]

I abhor fanaticism of any type yet I do not feel, myself, that a sincere request under ordinary circumstances should be denied. It is true that conditions were far from ordinary on the evening when Ruburt’s father and the poor personality of the woman were here, and under such circumstances generally, I would certainly not recommend a session.

I hesitate because I am not certain whether or not to discuss the other woman, who is a sister to the twin before mentioned. I would strongly suggest however that Zibreth, Z-i-b-r-e-t-h (Louie), about whom the past session revolved, follow the suggestions given them, and also that he do the following.

The personality is extremely sensitive, it does not take me to see that, and intuitional. It is also very strong, and the personality fears its own strength simply because normal aggressiveness has been denied outlet; and building up a practice of quietly but firmly expressing his own viewpoints will also help to release the inner pressure.

If this sounds difficult then indeed it is, because I will not deal in platitudes, and the exercise of the inner abilities demand, as a bulwark, the sometimes difficult achievement of an ego that can adapt itself in the outer environment, and so hold its own while the inner self is then freed to go its way.
