“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Identity is no longer limited to the outer ego alone. The outer ego is now familiar with the whole self, or the entire identity, and has available to it strength of which it was not previously aware. In periods of exuberance, when you are working well, and your health is extraordinarily good, when you are able to remember and manipulate your dreams, then such periods are signs of the emergence of this new consciousness.

Now. Ruburt is simply lucky. He responds to the autumn, and the system will automatically adjust itself.

If these persist for this period, you see, only then can they be considered in this light. For if they endure for this time they will almost certainly give rise to physical symptoms. Readjustment does not lie, in his particular case, in the present, with soaking his foot for example; but with a return to some definite poetry schedule, to finishing one book now at a time, to renewing the dream suggestions which he has discarded. These will take care of the physical symptoms.

He has finally decided to make financial steps. Now, I do not believe they will be necessary. Both of you do believe them necessary. Therefore you see to you, or to Ruburt, this becomes a necessity. He is now ready to accept this rather than brood, and this will be of help, for the brooding drained his energy. The brooding however, rather than the necessity, you see, was the difficulty. The energies and focus must be directed away from the physical symptoms. He is reinforcing them inadvertently. The creative energy, properly used, will drain away the energy that is now forming the symptoms.

Were the symptoms serious, physical therapy would be necessary, but they are not serious. There is no real necessity now for me to tell you this, since his system is at its best in the autumn. But the symptoms could have occurred when a high cycle was not approaching, in which case further difficulties could have arisen.

A connection with a session. With, now (Jane gestured with the envelope, her eyes closed) my impression here is of a desk, or chair connected with a desk. The type used in classrooms. I do not know if this refers to a child who attends school, to a teacher, or to someone such as your friends downstairs who have such an object.

(“With, now… my impression here is of a desk, or chair connected with a desk. The type used in classrooms. I do not know if this refers to a child who attends school, to a teacher, or to someone such as your friends downstairs who have such an object.” There are plenty of connections here, though some are roundabout. Merle and Lois Cratsley also live in the apartment house, on the first floor, and do own such a chair. Their apartment adjoins Barbara, and they are of course well acquainted. The Cratsleys have no children but Barbara does have one, a girl nine years old. Later note by RFB: Mother Goose is a child’s tale. The place referred to as Story Land.

(“Did that material in the last session apply to Wollheim or Fell? Can you tell us which one you meant, now?” See page 15.)

(As stated on page 21, Barbara did take her own daughter, Lisa, to visit Story Book Land, the subject of the postcard sent to us by Barbara, and used as the object in the 69th experiment. We now learned that Barbara had taken another child along also—for a total of two. The other child being one of Barbara’s sister’s in Ft. Belvoir.
