“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane was in a good mood and speaking rapidly for Seth. I had been writing practically at top speed since the session began. At break John confirmed that he had made a remark of dissatisfaction to the meeting at large. It concerned expense-account allowances for gas and oil, and John’s superior took this as aimed at him personally; the two men clashed on the floor, verbally.)

(As far as we know, this is the first overt experience we have encountered where Seth has spoken to another party while separated, in our time and distance, from Jane. It raises many questions if it is a legitimate experience; if legitimate, it would seem to be a most significant development. We are well aware that it could be said Seth was merely taking credit for another person’s psychic experience.

(If genuine, does this experience imply an expansion of Jane’s abilities, along with Seth’s, or does it merely mean that once others accept the possibility of psychic expansion, they too become receivers? This would imply the separate existence of Seth; he has claimed all along to be an “energy personality essence.”

I do indeed find the conversation very interesting. As you know I make no attempt to regulate Ruburt’s activities, and I should find it highly hilarious to find him in such a position, or positions. We will leave the matter there, with one addition: I do not approve personally. This does not mean however that I would go so far as to caution him against it.

There was indeed an unhealthy effect that came from the woman’s personality, and you my friend were in immediate danger.

One dream can change the development of a personality, and change his physical course. To those of us not within your system, we can turn into that dream, pick it up in other words. But the dream is not predestined, and the dream develops because of the personality involved.

You have more free will than you imagine, for you have not only your present personality with which to work.

She would have used you as a buffer between herself and another male, and as a bargaining point. I was referring to her subconscious energies when I spoke of force. I was not referring to the personality which she exhibits. She would have exaggerated the slightest interest you showed in her, and an unpleasant situation would have resulted; an unfortunate one involving yourself and the other male to whom I referred. Therefore I spoke out.

(Jane and I do not usually use the recorder for sessions because it doubles the time involved in transcribing notes. We realize spontaneity is important, but our time is limited. We have considered holding just one longer session a week, in which the recorder could be used. Jane prefers two sessions a week personally, however, and many sessions ago Seth also said he preferred more than one session a week.)
