“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now first of all Joseph, when I speak too quickly you simply must tell me so. If you do not speak out then indeed I am not to blame—

I am interested in adding now to our own discussions, for it is time that we enlarged both their quality and scope. We will almost immediately embark upon a more concentrated study of the personality as it operates within its dream reality.

I will let you take a break, since I am attempting to take the human limitations that are involved in our situation into consideration. There is no reason why you must take notes until your fingers feel as if they would drop. First however, I wish to give particular greetings to our friend Mark, who has consented to visit our circle. I speak fondly in my own manner. By all means take your break, and we will continue with our session.

I have no reason particularly not to answer them. However the questions involve more than you know; I am, Marleno, no guardian angel. I do not flap my wings. I have no wings to flap.

My interest is concerned with those personalities with whom I am involved, and the circle of my interest includes those who come to these sessions; as indeed your own interest includes those people with whom you are acquainted. I never attempt to meddle into the private lives of those with whom I am concerned. If I am invited to comment, then I do.

I am indeed aware, in a general manner, of the main events in your life and in Mark’s. But unless for some reason these are brought forcibly to my attention they remain as a part of my generalized knowledge.

I find that in black and white my words may sound harsh. Yet I do not so intend them. I am simply concerned with your existence, and with Mark’s, in the same manner with which you are concerned with the existence and circumstance of a friend.

I am indeed aware of many of the events in both of your lives, but it is relatively simple for me to so acquaint myself with your situations. I am willing at any time to render whatever services I can so render, but I do not walk ghostily through your rooms; and most certainly I do not peek through the windows.

I am aware of more and yet the reason for my concern could be called a quite human reason. You were drawn to the sessions for various reasons. These have something to do with both my interest and my concern. Mark in his own way is also so drawn.

I will now suggest that you take a break. I will also tell you, Joseph, that with my voice I am like a bird trying out its new wings. (Jane’s voice grew abruptly much louder, briefly.) And if I grow overenthusiastic I trust that you will forgive me. I will here in your apartment however keep a careful watch.

I am attempting to take some workload from Joseph now. He needs a rest in this respect. We will however in our next session return to our usual format.

Otherwise we will shortly end. I am concerned that we return to our material, for there will be times when it will be necessary for us to focus our energies in other directions. Such circumstances will not arise frequently, but they will arise. I am most sympathetic, Joseph, to the predicament in which you found yourself last weekend, and when we are alone we will discuss efforts that may be taken in the future. You did very well, considering the whole situation.

As always I regret leaving you. You may rest assured that I will hold my own with your psychologists. I am very fond of your Dr. Instream, however. We shall proceed in a way that will serve us all very well, and (louder) you need have no doubts concerning the affair in general.

It is very possible that Ruburt will soon discover that I am who I say I am. He knows this subconsciously, but I am speaking now of a conscious recognition. I now bid my friends a fond (deeper and louder) good evening. And if I do not sound like a nightingale, it may be said that I speak in tones not quite as bad as a grandfather frog.
