“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It was a very hot and humid evening and we held the session in our large front room, where we have a cooler. Because our windows were open traffic noise was rather bothersome to me. Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her voice was quiet—too quiet as it developed. I had trouble hearing her, and shortly after she began speaking she hiked her chair closer to my table, and her voice acquired a little more volume. She used many pauses.)

We see that Ruburt is trying too hard outside of our sessions.

He is doing very well in our sessions. However in his psychological time experiments he is trying too hard. This leads to a constriction. We want an expansion.

He is not to worry concerning any investigations of our sessions. Affairs will be handled very naturally.

We are concerned with our material. Witnesses however are beneficial for the development of his own confidence, and the development of his own confidence facilitates the development of his abilities.

In many ways his nature is extremely spontaneous in a natural fashion, and it is this attribute that is important to us. We will indeed try our own tests on various occasions. Our results will depend to a large degree upon the development of Ruburt’s abilities, and upon his own confidence. This is quite natural. He tries too hard with his own tests. When he forgets to try he does very well.

Ruburt does allow himself this freedom, until he begins to brood about it. We will begin slowly to further develop his abilities in our sessions. We may even ourselves initiate such a program.

I am not primarily concerned with effects, as you know. They can be beneficial however from several viewpoints, and they can also give Ruburt confidence. Any such effects however will happen within the framework of our sessions, and we must always work in an atmosphere of mutual integrity.

I will now close our session. And Ruburt should reread particularly the first portion of the session several times.
