“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The individual was also bewildered however because he was able to perceive you in what you would call both your future and your past, as well as your present.

You are not alone in this however. You have had no other experiences where contact was recognized both by you and the other individual from the other system, however; and he takes what he learned as part of himself now.

(See the tracing of the two sales slips on page 179. The data contain references to both slips, although Seth or Jane did not identify them as such, or refer to the fact that there were two test objects, as I had hoped. Jane said that during the test she was not sure of the source of information, Seth or herself.

(“An engagement, as of an appointment or meeting,” applies to the S.F. Iszard sales slip. On December 21 last, Jane and I went Christmas shopping; we parted to get each other gifts, after making an appointment to meet at a certain restaurant downtown when our shopping was over. “A scramble” can apply to either or both slips, since when we went shopping on December 18 and 21 we found the stores very crowded. Some aisles were difficult to get through, there was waiting necessary to get into dressing rooms, etc.

I am taking this incident as an example, but my remarks are to you both, for you both have much room for improvement in this respect. It is true that I am not concerned directly, so you may think that it is easy for me to speak to you both in this way. However it is because I am not directly concerned that I can see the problem and point out ways in which it can be solved. For there will always be such difficulties, and a habit of concentrating upon them could be most disadvantageous.

You both know this I am sure, as a rule you both do fairly well in following a more healthy procedure. But the lessons must be put into practice or they are worthless.

I have given you both sermon enough for this evening but I cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of what I have said. If you direct your inner self with confidence to steer you through your physical existence, it will do so. If you concentrate upon difficulties you will not allow it to do so. This method of giving yourself room will also help you to achieve a greater freedom in psychic matters. For any negative focus (and underline negative) within egotistical reality will automatically block you.

I am not accusing either of you of such habitual activities, but because of our relationship I do feel bound to mention such issues as they arise. You should know, both of you by now, that I have your best interests always in mind.
