“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I meant to mention this earlier, for there is some pattern to our unscheduled sessions which you have not realized. This is why I worked so well with Philip, to make the most of the opportunity while we did have a guest.

We certainly would not want all of our sessions to be witnessed by any means, so you have no fear in that direction. On the other hand again, such experience is necessary and quite valid, and should be accepted certainly as a part of our work.

Talking represents a primary, the primary of communication. Walking represent a primary, the primary of motion. We will have much more to say along these lines, and I give you these as examples only. We shall see if you can work out others by yourselves.

(In the 185th session Seth dealt to some extent with what he called Jane’s healing ability; one point he made was that the desire to help others would aid the development of this ability. Seth of course has given specific data on various physical ills for some witnesses, and for Jane and me. Whenever the advice was acted upon it worked out very well, whether the difficulty discussed was physical or psychological.

(At times Jane gets “feelings” about the physical condition of an individual, whether it is a friend or someone she passes on the street. Sometimes these intuitions involve the approaching death of the individual concerned. She has felt other psychological states also, and now notes them down when they occur. These developments have been quite recent. A recent example involved her sensing the breakup of the marriage of a friend with whom I work, some two weeks before the friend told anyone. I had suspected nothing amiss personally.

This fact hampered that work this evening. Ruburt knew the earlier test was poor, and he set up defenses.

Now as to the poor results themselves in the envelope test. Primarily there are two reasons for our unsatisfactory results. He did not want to have the test given to him while the Instream material had not yet been given for one thing, and so this did not work for us. To begin with however he simply was not at his best in any case.

He was shocked by the earlier information that I had given concerning the woman, and this led him to block further information for the evening. He worked, or allowed me to work through, the layers of personal subconscious only, which now and then may yield valid information, but highly distorted as a rule, and unreliable for our purposes.

He put himself back in time, seeing three photographs of himself, progressively further away from the present, in order to separate himself from the sort of information that he heard himself giving earlier this evening. So all in all he was not working at his best, and it can hardly be expected that he do so constantly.
