“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher were witnesses to the session. As usual the presence of witnesses fired Seth up. His delivery was more active and quite fast from the beginning. Jane’s eyes however remained closed. For much of the session she sat on the edge of her chair, leaning forward with her hands clasped together. She began at 8:58.)

Now, I would suggest that two main categories in particular be given special notice. These as you know will have to do with primary and secondary reality. And each dream should be scrutinized first of all with these main points in mind. You must look out for pitfalls, and use your critical faculties. Ruburt uses his critical faculties supremely well in scrutinizing my activities and nature, so I have no doubt that he can also apply them to the job at hand.

(Seth broke off his material to introduce this bit of humor because Bill, sitting perhaps five feet away, was leaning forward and staring intently at Jane as she spoke. Smiling, her eyes still closed, Jane now shifted her chair so that she did face Bill squarely.

Incidentally, joking aside, some time in the future it would not be a bad idea, if it ever could be arranged, to take Ruburt’s blood pressure before, during, and after sessions; also his weight.

I also believe that he lost or misplaced an item from his own office at the school today. (Pause.) Or he misplaced it earlier and went to look for it today. The item having to do with cigarettes. A holder perhaps, or a lighter, but of that nature. (Pause.)

One of the women in this gathering wears a large blue or gray brooch (pause) that I believe he has noticed. (Pause.) He has been or very shortly will be, informed of a change in his teaching schedule that he did not expect or anticipate, having to do with the morning hours of Tuesday and Thursday, I believe, though I am not certain of the precise two days. The change was not expected. (Pause.)

Ruburt, indeed, should give his own answers. Far be it from me to answer for him. I use one hand, and he uses the other, primarily.

Now and then with Ruburt, to a smaller or lesser degree, my own habits therefore show through, for I manipulate his muscles in a different way than he does. But, scientifically again, this would not be proof of my existence as an independent personality who has survived physical death. Not that this concerns me, for it does not.

I work carefully in cooperation with his ego, for we do not want to startle it. When such changes occur in an obvious manner, we shall see that you both are present.

His ego is his ego, and because it is his he loves it indeed. All egos fear that which is not ego. A necessary defense mechanism, which is part of each personality.

It would be difficult for me to change the features of a third individual indeed, but far less difficult to change Ruburt’s features, since he gives me permission to work through him, and his mental and psychic abilities would help me. A picture would not help me on its own.
