“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. First of all, my greeting to Marleno. She is always welcome. There is on her part a block, that operates in much the same manner as Ruburt’s ego on occasion, as far as our sessions are concerned. This is caused by an inner willingness to believe, though this is a bad word, in the legitimate nature of my existence; a willingness however that is sometimes so desperate, if you will forgive the term, and so wholehearted, that it sets up automatic barriers on the part of other portions of the personality.

I am speaking of these matters since I have intended to do so personally to you, and also because they tie in very well, as you will see, with some of our own discussions. For emotional contacts are what we are working with, and when you block off the contact from your end, then I would not presume, you see, to attempt to break it. My own code of ethics would not allow it.

I do think that these sessions have helped you, generally speaking. The very fact of their existence has been an advantage to you, though you may not know it, and I have hinted at this before. You are wishing for many answers from me, and I have always felt the pull of your inquiries. However at the same time you do set up these blocks; for you are not afraid of the answers, but you are afraid basically that they could be given in this manner.

Now, this same sort of emotional system operates in the sleeping state as well as in the waking state, though there are differences in that the personality will allow greater leeway in the dream state. But even in the sleeping condition, as should be obvious, the individual accepts and attracts certain experiences and blocks out others. You know that telepathy and clairvoyance operate rather freely in the dream state. However the nature of such experiences is strongly dependent upon the particular emotional system that is characteristic of any given personality.

With all due respects to Ruburt, he was right in one respect and wrong in another. The porch to the front was shadowed. He correctly picked up the leaf images; however it was not the first floor. The door was in the center. However, my viewpoint is not precise enough perhaps, but I have the picture of a door precisely centered, leading outward. And I am working here despite the unwitting blocks that are erected. I see something yellow and something rose; and voices rising, and something broken. This is on my part an emotional breakage.
