“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

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.

I pick up a connection with cork, but do not know to what this refers. (Pause.) Will you put Ruburt’s cigarette out for him, please.

(As Seth explains on page 134 of this session, some of the test data tonight represents preliminary connections with the test object, just as in the last envelope test with the drawing made by Roy Fox. Thus Jane’s personal associations are now often connected with the test object, and she is working with Seth and not against him.
