“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You may put this into your records or you may not, as you prefer. And you will have to take my word for what I am saying for the present, regardless of how impatient you may be.

This firmness on his part saved the situation, for your parents clearly understood what could be expected and what could not be expected. There is obviously no way to prove that this communication took place. On those evenings however when you dream of a certain individual, you may strongly suspect that the same individual is dreaming of you. The trouble is that the other individual most likely has not trained himself to recall his dreams, and so we can prove little.

Our tests must be considered in the light of action, for this is what they are. They involve a more immediate and basic action than physical mobility, and therefore we are concerned with manipulations that are not physical. The associations, personal associations on Ruburt’s part, when they are directly connected to test objects in our envelope tests, represent to some degree a step forward on his part.

Your own attitudes toward the family have changed considerably, and have become more tolerant since our sessions. Such tolerance helps you as well as those otherwise involved. Ruburt’s own attitude toward his mother has also become less rigid, largely as a result of our sessions. When you are quiet and not condemning others you can see them more clearly, and you are not afraid of them for you become stronger. You will find yourself enjoying the Christmas season, even with your relatives, for you understand now that a basic reality is 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.

A stopwatch, though I do not know to what this refers. An upright composition. A group, but I pick up busts rather than full figures, and a round object. People about a round object, such as a table.

(Finally, “Something missing, and someone who could not come,” is also interesting. As soon as the test was over, and I believe before she knew what the test object was, Jane told me that she believed “Something” and “someone” referred to the same thing. Only one member of the family was missing at the gathering Sunday, and this was my brother Loren’s daughter Linda, who was at work in Scranton, PA. It was too far away for her to make the trip up to Sayre, and back, in one day.
