“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. For a break from our material on probabilities and inverted time, I will indeed discuss a matter which is in your thoughts: the blizzard of the last few days.

(When we were alone again Jane resumed as though the break had not occurred. Her voice was average, her pace average; her eyes were to open after a few paragraphs, and she was now smoking.)

Now. This is a good time to discuss certain interactions that occur within your system, and we can take your winter storm as an excellent example.

Now I have told you that dreams are caused in part—underline in part—by chemical excesses built up within the human system. Dreams also carry the weight of emotional excesses that cannot be adequately expressed within daily physical action.

Now I shall tell you that physical weather is also caused in part by psychic energy, rushing through the human system and through the systems of all living creatures, and also by an excess, a chemical excess, beyond that which the individual organism can handle.

This blizzard, and the last storm of last week, both of these are beneficial primarily. Now the physical organism simply cannot handle all of the energy that is available to it. It has abundant energy, not only to care for itself but to create a favorable physical environment. Without the outlet, the constructive outlet provided it in the formation of its own weather environments, the physical organism would have little balance or stability.

(It was now time for the 35th Dr. Instream test. The blizzard howled outside. As usual Jane’s pace slowed; she sat with her head down and her hands raised to her closed eyes. She spoke with many rather brief pauses. Resume at 10:02.)

Now, give us a moment before our Instream material.

A connection now, separate from the merge, with a shoe, a man’s shoe (pause), or a slipper. This is our object. The color of it is brown, but very dark, so that it appears almost to be black. (Pause.) It is his own (pause), and he concentrates upon it.

Now first of all, the initials mentioned last do not apply to the shoes, but to the data given earlier, as specified.

I will now, according to your pleasure, continue the session for a while, or end it.

Ruburt’s ego now contains elements that did not at one time belong to it. It contains portions of the self that are—I hesitate, you see, to say superior, for he is not to get conceited—but portions of the self that contain more abilities than those usually held by the ego.

His egotistical decisions therefore now more faithfully reflect the whole self, or the whole personality. There has been an integration. It is for this reason that his suggestions are taking hold so well, for they do not conflict with other layers of the self.

I should be quite disappointed if you were not showing improvement. Your own psychic improvement, Joseph, is marked. Ruburt, with this book before him as an example, should know that he can now expect more of himself, and should not be satisfied with less. You are both becoming therefore more responsible as a result of your successes.

Now, my friend, I am quite capable and agreeable. I will continue the session, or you may end it and instead take a break. It is up to you. I should suggest however a good night’s sleep, and I should suggest specifically that you give yourself the same sort of suggestion that Ruburt gave to himself before retiring.
