“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A single woman named Lucy lives in a small apartment above our own. A woman friend of hers died a few months ago. Neither Jane or I had ever met Lucy’s friend but we recall hearing about her death through Lucy. We remember in particular because the dead woman’s relatives gave Lucy her television set.

(Concerning my place of employment data: Jane said she had received the word “mine” again. In two recent envelope experiments involving my place of employment, this word had cropped up in connection with the death of an older fellow worker; mine referring to grave, or underground, because Jane instinctively disliked the idea of graves. The older worker had been named Ezra Havens. Jane said she received the word again this evening in connection with Ezra; she felt Seth wanted to connect Ezra with the idea of disease—hence the polio data—followed by death, etc.

Her abilities are not much further advanced than they were. Death does not automatically bring enlightenment or development. Those that are muddled continue to be muddled. Individual differences always operate.

Death brings a certain knowledge that things have changed, as on earth you know when you have walked from one room to another, but nothing can automatically make the survival personality understand or perceive clearly the new conditions.

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?
