“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane: Thursday night, March 24. I woke up sometime in the middle of the night and saw the form of a woman standing by Rob’s side of the bed, not mine. The room was dark but I saw that her dress was blue. She was rather thin and fairly tall. Her face was not clear at all but her dress was clearly visible—at least the color. It was one-piece, of moderate length. I do not remember her face at all. I do recall that our bookcase, behind her, showed up well; its cream color was clear although the rest of the room was dark. I believe her head was covered. As soon as I saw the figure it disappeared. I had the feeling that something was trying to make me forget what I saw, so I quickly woke Rob and told him what I had seen. The woman did not remind me of anyone I know, or had known.

(Rob: Monday, March 28, 5:45 PM. After doing my daily yoga exercises for about half an hour, I lay relaxed and in a drowsy state. I then became aware that I was hearing voices. They were speaking at a normal rate; I was aware of two men, not old, seated at desks. I think the desks were old and battered, a brown color. I heard their words with exceptional clarity, sentence by sentence, including the timbre of their voices, etc., and retained them briefly. I soon forgot them however. One of the men laughed, in a deep and pleasant, friendly way.

(I have long been aware that the yoga exercises have a powerful effect on me personally, and that I evidently end up in a dissociated state at times after doing them. I have neither encouraged or discouraged this effect. I have had the experience of hearing voices before but have not asked Seth to comment. He did mention my hearing music recently. The last time I heard voices they chattered away at a great rate, like a tape played too fast.

This is not to be overdone however. The daily exercise period is fine. The tendencies are used and developed for the good of the overall personality. It is important that they continue to be so disciplined. I do not suggest that you give more time to this daily period however, now.

The period should result in a feeling of refreshment. Your energies afterwards however should be directed outward. You are doing very well indeed, and not overdoing it. There is a good balance here. I simply want to point out that here certain characteristics are being well used. They could also be ill-used, and so the energy should then be directed outward, as indeed it is since the supper hour so shortly follows.

(I could think of several Wyoming places beginning with the appropriate sound, but did not mention them to Jane. We had driven through the state several years ago, but Jane did not remember doing so. Nor did she recall any city or town names in the state. She said she had the idea of Cisco for a place name in the state, but thought she had chosen this because it has a western sound. It can qualify however under the S sound mentioned by Seth.

In the past years you had a tendency to use them haphazardly and with no idea as to how they should be directed. They can and will transform your psychic and physical environment. The one main test to be applied to these sessions, to my advice and to the material is this: The sessions, the material and your new knowledge must transform your psychic and physical environment, your health and all aspects of your inner and outer life for the better. And I believe that we are doing this.

I have told you that many other systems coexist with your own, simultaneously. Other fields exist that you do not perceive with your physical senses. Ruburt was not perceiving with his own physical senses, nor was he asleep.

Do you have an envelope for me, Joseph?

A connection with your place of employment. A large circular shape on a rectangular pattern, and movement. The object, the round object, seems to have something to do with motion.

Do you have any questions?

Do you have any other questions?

(“Do you want to try naming the object?”)

(Jane said she knew she was going astray in the data when I asked about the family group, although the envelope objects do mention family groups. But the question confused her; this is the first time this has happened. Jane said she had an image of a “round object”, that had to do with motion, but had no idea as to what it represented.

(“I think of July or April.” At the bottom of one of the objects is a reference to Spring 1963. Originally both cards were the same size, and contained two paragraphs of information. For some reason I do not recall now I clipped the second paragraph off one of the cards. Whether this contained a July reference, for instance, I cannot say.

(“A large circular shape on a rectangular shape on a rectangular pattern, and movement. The object, the round object, seems to have something to do with motion.” Again, we made no connections.

(“A connection with a family group, of one, five, three and two.” Both envelope objects refer to family groups. We are not sure what the numbers refer to. Types one, two and three polio vaccines are referred to on the cards, but this leaves the five to be explained. Nor do the numbers fit our family groups completely. In the phone book the school at which we received the vaccine on each occasion is listed by avenue, but no number is given.

(I also hoped aloud that Seth would clear up the reference to the numbers given in “A connection with a family group, of one, five, three and two.” Unfortunately he did not do so. I didn’t catch the oversight until after the session.

Some understanding is almost automatic, simply because some elements are unmistakably different. You must understand however that basic characteristics of the personality as a whole operate more fully after death. Subconscious drives for good are liberated from egotistical fears. Do you have any other questions?
