“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Since we wanted Seth to discuss this prediction, this gave us the idea of checking up on some other recent session material. I wrote up the notes on these and read them to Jane just before session time, thinking that if Seth didn’t cover all the points this evening, at least a beginning could be made.

Now this development helps me, for I need his development in order that my communications be more clearly presented and received. Basically however all of this takes place in deeply unconscious layers. Abilities and energies are released. These cannot be willed however, on a conscious level.

Some sense impressions fall beneath the threshold of consciousness, these impressions coming from the outside environment. Some impressions however have their origin within inner reality, and the personality is receiving information not available to the egotistical self. If such inner data is to become at all conscious, it must be translated into terms that the ego can recognize. In other words, into sense data.

Both involve culminations formed by various levels of the self, and yet are impressed into the physical organism. They must be registered by the physical self in one way or another, if the information is to become at all conscious.

I will give an object shortly. First, an impression of several small packages—many, I believe, all of the same size, coming to him or being sent from him through the mails. Perhaps they involve cards for scoring. Or a survey.

(I recall that on the particular night of the recording session, we did not want to be interrupted. Therefore we had the curtains pulled in the living room, and all other lights out. Thus the hallway leading from the living room to the kitchen was dark. Since we did not ask Seth we cannot be sure our interpretation is correct.

(“No, I’m all right.”)

You were upset psychically for all of the reasons that I have given you in the past. The subconscious bargain was this: For relative freedom the rest of the year, you settled for a virus that would hit you any time between January and March 20.

Now there are pills I believe that once taken become activated again within given time periods. This is how your virus acted, and you yourself triggered it. Now there was a connection here with a vaccine, I believe taken by you and Ruburt, that should not have affected you at all.

You activated it yourself, and I would not tell you this until you had completely conquered it. Ordinarily it would not have been dangerous at all, and it was not dangerous to Ruburt.

(Strange as it may seem—or perhaps not so strangely after all—I remember my mother giving me this negative suggestion quite clearly. There had been a good deal of radio and newspaper publicity concerning the oral vaccines at that time. When we happened to mention to my parents that we had taken it, my mother was rather emphatic in emphasizing the dangers in taking “such things; you might get polio,” etc.
