“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your holiday plans can be of excellent benefit to you both. Your friend Mark telepathically picked up your attitudes concerning his friend at your last meeting, not this evening’s meeting, and he changed some of his plans because of your attitudes.

On that particular occasion he was, contrary to appearances, quite open to suggestion because he was off guard. You did him a service by going out with him that evening, although you may have not realized it. And in some respects he is good for you. Particularly you, Joseph. He stretches you, both your sympathies and your understanding, and you both benefit.

(Jane and I went dancing with Bill and his girlfriend, whom we had not met before, two weekends ago. Bill appeared to be much smitten, and during the evening paid little attention to us, much to our amusement. This evening he surprised Jane and me by telling us he was not seeing the girl anymore. Jane and I said nothing to him about his girl; we liked her very much. She is quite young. Bill is 27.)

This material is somewhat of a personal nature. Nevertheless your young brother, this previous weekend, rather suddenly displayed an inclination to say no when he felt that needless demands were being put upon him.

Your parents definitely let him know that they wanted a new television set, and he quite uncharacteristically told them it was impossible as far as he was concerned. His physical action, his refusal, was based upon a telepathic communication with you, in the dream state, on those evenings when you had the dreams which I interpreted for you.

Our results with Dr. Instream have been better, by far, than fair. But he is still looking for more specific data, and I believe we can give it to him.

Within a fairly decent amount of time, Ruburt and I will be able to work hand in hand, so that our own separate perceptions will build up together, to a more or less precise picture of the object involved. But upon many occasions his personal associations now are connected with the object; so he does not fight me, but we work together.

In actual cash Ruburt will receive approximately $3,500.00 in the following year, though this will not represent all that he will make, and the amount will double in the next two years. From then on you will do very well. Again, you may or may not insert this in the record, as you prefer.

(Again, see the unscheduled 216th session. We hadn’t asked Seth specifically to continue with these dreams, but still hoped he would, soon.)

On another level they represent something quite different. You saw your young brother in a fetus position, for he will be born again within the physical universe, and you will not. You averted the barrier, which was another existence within this field. He did not.

He went first however because he will die shortly before you, and incidentally in many years to come, and not at a young age. He will live to old age, particularly to compensate for an early death in a past existence.

He will take particular joy in watching his own children develop, because he did not develop in that past life to maturity, though this of course was not definitely in your dream.

(Seth was giving general reincarnational data on my family and on Jane’s as early as the 9th session, while avoiding such things as times of death, etc. Actually the concept of reincarnation made its appearance in the first session. Seth began to be more specific on family reincarnational data when he told Jane and me in a very early session that neither of us would be born again on the physical plane; this, he said, accounted for our lack of children and the desire for them. Seth explained that both of us had been parents before, experiencing both the male and female roles. We have a little material on this; we always are intending to ask for more but somehow don’t seem to get around to it. See Volume 1.)

You saw Ruburt outside the window because he was not directly involved with the relationship between you and your father.

The swing represented your feeling that after all Ruburt was relatively free, on the one hand, from the problem. Therefore you saw him as swinging free. This represented part of your feelings. The other part was represented by your concern for him, for although he was not as directly affected as you, he would still be involved.

The waterfall represented physical death on this level, you see, both of you dying, your brother and yourself; but he first and already adopting the birth position, for he will choose another life rather quickly. He is impulsively drawn to things of earth.

He will be born in a warm climate. You both started out from a cold one, hence the snow. Much of this is indeed personal, but is involved here. I would like to make it plain that your mother literally prods your father enough to keep him from withdrawing completely, and he has much to thank her for regardless of their differences.

Without her there would be no vividness for him, for he is unable to relate himself outward. It was because she wanted to feel close to you that she called you this evening, more than anything else, although there was a misunderstanding involved.

An occasion also at his home, where five were present. (Pause.) Another situation involving a young man and a family connection. He wears a robe with a large pocket, rather unusual pocket. (Pause.)

The unusual event I mentioned occurred I believe about three this afternoon, or he learned of it then.

He is feeling better now than he did at our last session.

(See the tracing of the test object on page 131. During last Sunday there was a family gathering at my parents’ home in nearby Sayre, PA. There were twelve people in all: My parents, Jane and I, my brother Loren, his wife and son, and my brother Bill and his wife, and their two daughters and one son. Bill’s son is named David, he is four years old, and it is he who drew the test object, with a black ball-point pen on white paper.

(6 as in 6 o’clock is not specific enough for easy conscious connection. “A letter or note” can refer to the notes for reference I made on David’s drawing. “The color yellow” we think is a strong connection to the drawing of the dog; Dick recently obtained a puppy for his children, and when Jane and I asked David to describe the dog he called it orange at first, then yellow.
