“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(After we had talked for some time Jane told me that she felt Seth “buzzing around,” and that he could explain Marian’s dream to her should she be willing to listen. Marian surprised us by agreeing, after we had explained to her that there was nothing to be alarmed about. Otherwise, Jane said, she would prefer to leave; she had no trouble keeping Seth from speaking, yet felt it would be better to change her surroundings should no session be held.

(Seth reassured Marian that should a child enter the room unexpectedly Ruburt would instantly “be himself,” and nothing would be noticed by the child. No interruptions took place however. Seth began to speak in a loud whisper or a very soft voice, however one chooses to define it, and maintained this aspect throughout the evening, with frequent breaks. I have not heard him speak in this manner before. Jane’s eyes opened at times, and she smoked an occasional cigarette. We had had a couple of drinks apiece before the session began and the atmosphere was warm and easy. I suppose that the session being held in her own home added to Marian’s confidence, and at first break she said she was “fascinated.”

(The session was a long one and will not be described in detail here, except for a couple of points I would note for possible future reference. It dealt only with personal material regarding Marian and her family, with some reincarnational data added.

(Seth reassured Marian about the dream involving her dead mother, explaining how it was a case of Marian projecting her own subconscious fears, among other things. Marian’s concern over her approaching operation entered in here, and Seth used this concern to make his main points of the evening. Marian loves children deeply. Seth explained that the ovarian tumor represented her subconscious attempt to grow something, since she has now almost gone through menopause and cannot grow children. Seth stressed that if Marian could learn to channel her energies outward, perhaps in helping underprivileged children, the subconscious need to be wanted would be satisfied and the tumor would shrink by itself.

(Seth said he did not know whether Marian could learn rapidly enough how to do this; but if she could get herself on the right track soon, he said, she would not need the operation in June; a medical examination then would show that the tumor was shrinking, and would continue to shrink. Since Marian is a deeply religious person also, Seth tied his ideas on positive thinking and suggestion in with the religious theme, stressing the positive use of faith. He went to considerable length in all of this, repeating himself often in an effort to teach Marian as much as possible.

(Should she not be able to master the use of suggestion and positive religious faith quickly enough, Seth reassured Marian that the operation would then take care of the tumor, and that Marian had no worries here. Seth also included suggestions for Marian regarding therapeutic dreams; at breaks Jane and I explained what we could, but left feeling there was much we didn’t have time to include. The last part of the session involved reincarnational data. According to Seth two of the Spaziani children are psychically older than their parents. There has been much complicated switching of roles and sex among the family members. Marian herself has been twice a male and twice a female. The last time she was a female she was childless; Seth stressed quite often that this subconscious memory had much to do with her strong desire for children in this life.)
