“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Watching the blizzard that hit Elmira this weekend in action, I thought it like a disembodied psychic storm. Jane agreed; as session time drew near tonight she said she thought Seth would discuss the storm, and our weather in general. Seth has had something to say about the weather in these sessions: 56, 84, 123 and 175, without going into any great detail. Check Volumes 2, 3, and 4.

(The session was held in our front room. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed.)

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.

(There came a knock on our door. It was a young neighbor from downstairs, concerned about transportation to work tomorrow. We work together at Artistic Card Co. but had not tried to get to the plant today. She does not know of these sessions.

(For a time we held sessions in the back of our apartment to avoid such interruptions, but Jane prefers them held in the large front room. The interruption tonight was not any kind of a shock to Jane; she left the trance state easily, although I noticed her eyes were very dark when they first opened. It was Jane who answered the door however. We then engaged in a half-hour’s conversation with our neighbor.

Ultimately it is not self-generating, but for the purposes of our discussion it may be termed so. The force originates within the psychic or nonphysical aspects of each living creature within your system. This force acts as a balancing mechanism for the psychic structures, and through use of it living forms create and maintain in a most basic manner their own physical environment.

Now, give us a moment before our Instream material.

First of all—this is not the object—I pick up the impression of a merge of some kind, in which our Doctor is involved.

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.

(Break at 10:16. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed. Her pace had become good toward the end of the delivery. The wind had been hitting 40 MPH in gusts, and our apartment had been chilly all day. Jane’s slower and quiet manner had made me more aware of the storm and I had wondered whether it would bother her, but she said she had been aware of nothing while speaking.

There is much to be said concerning the interrelationships that exist between the human system and the weather system, and these shall be, these interrelationships, shall be discussed most completely at a later time. I do not want to interrupt our data concerning probabilities and time, however, to get involved in any long involvements on other matters. The question was in your minds however, and so we have taken a short while to give you some brief notes concerning it. At our next session we shall return to our previous subject matter.

(As early as the 6th session Seth told Jane and me that we were living the last of our physical lives, and that both of us had chosen to become entities. Because of this, Seth said, it is very necessary that we develop all of our abilities as much as possible in this life. See Volume 1.)
