“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The situation to which I referred was not the one regarding your father-in-law, though that will be resolved.

The situation however in the family does involve your own parents. I would say specifically your mother. The conversation of which you are thinking is the one to which I refer concerning the raise.

The family situation is not immediate, this week for example, but it is developing.

(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.

(I might mention here a situation that John, Jane and I, and Bill Gallagher have long been aware of. This is the fact that John, Jane and Bill all have mothers who were, or are, bedridden with arthritis. Bill’s mother has died. Quite a while ago Seth remarked that this fact is one of the reasons John and Bill were drawn to the sessions; but he has not elaborated.

(As break arrived we heard John Bradley returning up the stairs. He had succeeded in postponing his business appointment until tomorrow. We asked him to say no more about his voice experience yet, to see what else Seth could pick up on it. Instead the conversation turned to the fact that last week Jane was offered a part- time job as a dancer in a local supper club. Both of us like to dance, and Jane is an expert dancer. Now during break we amused ourselves discussing some of the humorous aspects of such a potential situation.

I did not like the implications of her background. I am not speaking of a social background, as you should know. I am speaking of a psychic background and environment that were, and are, unhealthy and detrimental, and with which you should not become involved. I am speaking of a psychic environment only, and of a home situation on her part which has deeply colored her activities, and which regulates her relationships.

There is a child in the background here also, and many situations which mold the child.

We will say no more concerning the family situation for several reasons, which you shall undoubtedly know in good time. The sister of which you spoke is indeed involved, but not in the precise manner in which you imagine.

The situation of which I spoke concerning the family may occur in February, perhaps the beginning of the month, perhaps the second.

But you have on a subconscious level all the knowledge and experience of your previous selves upon which to build. Your dreams are free from the restrictions imposed by your ego, and your dreams affect your daily life much more than you know. For situations appear in them that affect your actions, and these are elements from your own previous selves. This is a large subject; but though I can tell you some things about your future, the future is not predestined, and subconsciously you are well aware yourself of what will happen, and all human beings are.

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.
