“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There will be three people in particular with whom you will be involved at your meeting, three men. One of these will be younger than the others. There is, I believe, a book which you will be asked to read, and there will be an appointment made. As you suspect, there was no coincidence involved when you chose your Dr. Instream. The affair will work out much better now, for in the past circumstances would have prevented not his interest, but his availability. There will indeed be a change that is only now beginning, in the daily ways of your lives, and you are both subconsciously preparing yourselves.

The changes will not suddenly show themselves. This is merely a slow beginning, but the initial steps have been made, and the first and initial program has been completed. It is developing even better than I had hoped, and our own material will now begin to really develop, for we have enough background to enable us to cover subject matter that would have been impossible at an earlier time. But the first portion of our program has been completed in many other ways, having to do with the development of abilities, and with the development of that gestalt which we now form.

It was from the beginning necessary not only that Ruburt’s abilities be developed, but also that Ruburt’s ego not be left in the dark.

His ego is indeed a healthy and vigorous one, but of a stubborn bent. For our purposes however this is actually excellent, for he is learning effectively to operate well in the physical environment while at the same time he is manipulating within that inner reality.

There will be not, not answers, but questions, shortly for our other guest. We shall provide the questions, and she shall provide the answers. She is asking the wrong questions, and the answers to them will not help her.

I am as you know a rather humorous gentleman. But someday we will have jokes that are not on me. You have not heard me laugh yet. It can however be arranged, according to the circumstances; for I do not laugh unless there is something worth laughing at, and we can arrange a good-natured harmless but amusing joke, at no one’s expense.

Many sessions ago we spoke of transparency, and I said that true transparency was not the ability to see through, but to move through.

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.

(Bill Gallagher knows something about languages. He made so many good points that I asked him to write them down for the record. He had just begun when Seth came through again, loud and clear. Jane’s voice was strong but not close to matching the rather spectacular 158th session, for example. It was obvious that she and Seth enjoyed the proceedings immensely. She spoke rapidly and used many gestures, but her eyes remained closed throughout. Resume at 10:44.)

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.

(It is of interest here to note that in the 134th session Seth also announced that I had painted a likeness of him. This painting shows a much younger blond man, bearing no resemblance to the other portrait. I have not asked Seth about the discrepancy yet of course, but Jane feels they both represent different facets of the Seth entity or personality.)

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.
