“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane and I have not yet resumed the study of psychological time, although frequently as we are drifting off to sleep we will have brief experiences. I have had several vivid ones lately, including a fall tree in full color, and the head of a child with an open mouth.

(Company left this evening at 8:55 PM, and Jane had no idea of the material for the session. She had also been too busy to be nervous. She began dictation on time in a rather normal voice, and at an easy rate. Her pacing was average, her eyes dark as usual. And as she has done so often recently, she began without wearing her glasses, not appearing at all handicapped.)

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 am not suggesting for example that five sessions, or four, be held in a week at this time; only that sincere requests should not be automatically denied because they do not fall within the scheduled time. And upon such occasions I will always make adjustments when you request them.

(At this point I began to sneeze. Hay fever season is not yet over, unfortunately. I sneezed many times, and Jane paused at intervals to let me catch up on the copy.)

Knowledge on your physical plane must be applied in human terms and human values, or the possibility of helping someone else either through the sort of a session we held last time, or through a more regular session, should not be ignored.

(Jane resumed dictation in the same quiet manner, this time wearing her glasses, at 9:28.)

(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.)

This next may sound Pollyannaish to an extreme, but he should make it a point to help another human being in any small way, without expecting thanks, three times a week. I do not suggest, you see, that he do this on purpose daily, lest it develop psychologically into a self-sacrificial ritual. And I also most strongly suggest that three times a week in a very quiet, disciplined but positive manner, he makes it a point to express himself when any matters arise where he holds a diverse opinion from the one being presented.

I will end the session shortly. This is material that I would have given if we had had the time in our last session, and for that reason I wanted to give it this evening.

Ruburt is coming along well in the gallery situation. You should have a good winter, both of you. If Ruburt can stand it, I would suggest a three-day period after he leaves the gallery, during which he does no writing. Perhaps playing about his apartment while instructing his subconscious to work for him in the interval, and completely divorcing his conscious mind from his writing for that period of time. Such a method will result in maximum use of his abilities, and more practical utilization of energy.
