“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was again held in our front room, with all of us sitting in a circle. Jane’s eyes remained closed for the whole session. She spoke while sitting down, and in a voice a bit stronger than usual. Her manner was quite active and much of the time she leaned forward, elbows on her knees. We anticipated a short session. Jane actually began speaking at 8:56.)

May I now wish you all the heartiest of greetings.

I am pleased with our group. However this will be a short session. It is not because I grow weary. It is merely, again, that I must watch for your human limitations, and it will be best that you have all available energy at your beck and call later on for your trip.

This is a difficult procedure, and in all cases and in all developments of this nature, there must be no attempt made to browbeat the ego, for in this way lies schizophrenia and disorientation. Ruburt’s abilities now are beginning to develop. We are sure of our foundation, and this was most necessary.

There are a few other remarks that I would make concerning your journey. First of all, although I said earlier that Ruburt should not take a vacation, in many respects he will not be taking a vacation. He will have much to do.

I here suggest your break, for I am not going to give you a preview. You have much to look forward to. By all means take your break. And you will see, Joseph, that I am not overworking your fingers.

Energy moves through all fields and all systems. You are enabling the energy which is yourself to realize its existence within other systems; and speaking merely in terms of energy and action, we are here involved with transparent motion as energy moves from one system to another.

This is not done at all times, but the ego is not usually aware either of the motion nor of the other systems involved. Through your own abilities, and partially through circumstances that happen to be favorable, you are able with my help, to some degree, to add this experience of mobility to your natures and transfer the knowledge to the conscious ego.

We will later be concerned more deeply with this transparent mobility, for it operates within all systems. And without it your own physical system would not exist. When the nature and behavior of energy as it is seen in action is understood, and when it is applied to the mobility of the human personality, then such sessions as ours will be taken for granted, though this I admit will take a while.

I will then meet with you shortly. My best regards and heartiest good wishes to you all.

I shall be discussed from all angles, and scrutinized, and like the monks in the Middle Ages we will wonder if I can fit on the head of a pin, but I will not get stuck. I am indeed flattered, and as Ruburt mentioned a change of perspective is good.

(The idea for it had come to me one day and I had begun work on it at once. In view of some rather odd sensations it had engendered within me I had thought it might refer to Seth, or myself in a previous life. Jane had admired it at once, even from the first drawing, and insisted all along that it pictured Seth.

I will now, with my true dignity, bring this fateful session to a close. I would continue but for my innate good manners. I will at another occasion give our Jesuit some rather fateful measures to contemplate, and perhaps we will ask him how many ulcers can sit on the head of a pin. My best and most sincere wishes to you all. I will sign myself fatefully yours.

(End at 10:55. Jane was well dissociated. She took quite a few moments to open her eyes. She said a word Bill had used had started her off again, to her own surprise. Bill said Seth used the Jesuit simile to make his point very well. He also said his ulcer had been much improved lately; it had bothered him a little earlier today, for instance, but hardly at all this evening.
