“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I will here wish you a good evening—

(And here I must admit that although Seth gave the entity name for Bill’s wife Ida, I did not think quickly enough to ask for the entity name of Ida’s twin sister. Jane and I are curious to see if there is any similarity in entity names under such circumstances, and I will make it a point to ask Seth for the name.)

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.

(Jane delivered the above paragraph quite forcefully, facing me with one foot up on a chair. She now took a rather long pause, walking over to a window and looking out before resuming delivery. It might be added here that at the time of the visit of Jane’s father, on the night in question Jane had, as she was explaining some of the Seth material to her father and Midge, felt definite emotional “nudges” from Seth to hold a session, whereas upon the occasion of our visit with Bill and Ida in Rochester, she had not. Yet in the latter instance she had finally acceded to the lively curiosity, and because both of us felt this welcome, held the session. Neither of us seriously considered holding a session for Jane’s father and Midge, due to the turbulent circumstances.)

A balance here is extremely important. There should always be this balance. The personality, being intuitively strong, should apply some of this intuition outward toward other human beings. If solitude is achieved through living alone, then the personality should so be able to relate itself outward.

I do not speak here of acquaintances who do not understand the importance of psychic investigation. I speak now of the ego’s ability to handle itself. And psychic investigation will, and should, increase that ability if it is properly begun, and if the ego is properly related to the physical environment.
