“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Then I shall continue. First of all, may I congratulate you for doing something that you do not realize you have done. You did have some help, it is true, from Ruburt, but in the main you did this on your own. Do you have any idea of what I am speaking?

This is not what I am referring to.

That indeed was very good, quite excellent—but it is not what I am referring to.

Your attitude toward your faithful old car is not based upon the reasons you ascribe it to. An automobile means one thing to you and one thing to Ruburt. Obviously your backgrounds have much to do with this, but I do not believe that you realize what I am about to tell you.

I am speaking of the relationship in your mind between your father and automobiles. Has this occurred to you?

(I am 46. As a young boy I used to watch my father make automobile batteriesby hand. He had his own business in Sayre, PA, and took great pride in the excellence of his work. The business began to fail when batteries became mass produced, and the great depression finished it.)

These small episodes of late would have snowed you under in the past, out of all proportion; such is not the case now. You have noticed, I am sure, also, that Ruburt’s reactions are of a more steady nature.

With many psychics, the ability is so automatic that you can learn nothing about the process as it occurs. Now I shall try to point out impressions that are incorrect when I am able to. You will be able to see how extrasensory perceptions merge with personal associations, and watch the mind as it actually learns to perceive the difference.

Now, I am fully prepared to speak on. However I am aware that we have approached the time of our usual closing, and you may continue or not, as you prefer.
