“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We have to work this way with our friend Ruburt, though he is indeed improving. In regards to your raise, the number 3 comes up. I am trying to loosen Ruburt up here, for he is always afraid of wrong results, and this hampers me.

You see, in a full session dealing with an individual, I can interweave material. Ruburt cannot follow me then and he cannot block me then. He does not indeed block me on purpose, but the results would be the same.

When you intend to leave in the middle of a session, there is hardly time for me to light into you adequately, or to answer the questions that I think we could answer. I am not harsh with you. Indeed, I have been harsh with no one, though I have been tempted at times. And I am always hampered both by time and because of mechanical difficulties, and because we must be so still and silent.

([John:] “I have a question. A month ago, when I was talking to a female, a voice definitely said to me: ‘No, no.’ What’s the significance of that?”)

You see you put me, as you very well know, in a strange position. For if I say it was my voice, then I was where I was not invited to be.

(John had to leave to make a telephone call regarding business. He had decided to see if he could postpone his business appointment until tomorrow. Before he left however, he described to Jane and me a plan that he had broached to his brothers and sisters, concerning the care of his invalid mother in Philadelphia. John said this could be the family situation that is developing, and that Seth referred to.

(This thought comes to me: Quite a few sessions ago Seth remarked that an event would occur which would bind John, Jane and I together. I searched briefly for the remark but did not locate it.

(Once again Seth was racing along, as far as my writing speed was concerned. Jane’s eyes had, I believe, opened briefly a few times; her face was turning more toward John much of the time here. She gave no notice that she heard me.)

Again, you see, you did not have to hear me, and you did not have to listen. But because you heard me and because you listened, the probable future was changed.

You and I changed that possibility, and what I foresaw therefore will not come to pass; and your own action in allowing yourself to hear me speak helped change that action.

([John:] “Can you tell me about the other man in my division who’s selling well, besides Bill Driscoll?”)
