“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

That information, you see, will never be found in physical terms. If such past memories are consciously recovered, as they have been, the closed mind of the academic psychologist will not see what he has, but will suppose the overworked imagination responsible. A fully developed psychology will not exist until reincarnation is accepted as a fact.

The physical brain as you know it is but the camouflage mechanism belonging to the physically oriented self. In some cases, severe damage is done to the brain, and yet rationality continues. In these cases the mind behind the brain operates as always. When the individual is convinced that his activities are completely dependent upon the physical brain, then he is incapacitated almost completely by any injury to it. The brain itself contains knowledge that comes through the inner senses, and this knowledge would simply not be available to it, if it were dependent upon physical data completely.

A miscellany of united objects or images, of small patterns like dots but larger than small dots. Light and dark, rather highly contracted.

(Break at 9:55. Jane had spoken rapidly, her eyes closed, the envelope held up to her face practically the whole time. She had one image which will be mentioned in place. Seth returned and helped us out on a few connections, but in the meantime we made our own.

(“A miscellany of united objects or images, of small patterns like dots but larger than small dots. Light and dark, rather highly contracted.” Excellent data, and Jane did everything but name the object as pepper. I almost called a halt to the data here, on impulse, but then decided to see what else Seth came up with.

(“J A B.” Seth helps out on this later. Our interpretation was not right. We thought the J B might refer to Jane’s initials, but in this case couldn’t account for the A since Jane has no middle name.

(“Something stands on rocks. A face.” Here Jane had an image—that of her face, small, as she stood on some rocks and near water. She was not sure in the image, that she was near an ocean, particularly. The face she saw was not that in a photo, but herself, alive. Seth explains this later.

(This connection is not as remote as it might seem: Jane spent some time in Baltimore before we were married 12 years ago. Even so that location has strong personal associations for her today. Both of us have been to Los Angeles, CA, several times, but Jane has not been to San Francisco.

The J A B, Ruburt’s own association. Wiping his eyes when filling the shaker, he jabbed his eye. The father connection, legitimate but not pertinent. He had vainly daydreamed that his father might send unexpected money, with which he could complete that set of dishes to which the pepper shaker belongs.

This means that others are involved, you see. This is your decision. There may be friends who would like to contact their own relatives. You might start here when you are ready. But when you are ready, comparative strangers would be best, ideally speaking.

Now this sort of experience would convince you of survival, as perhaps nothing else could. But your own willingness is a prerequisite. Have I answered you sufficiently?

Tell Ruburt to call on me before he sleeps, and we shall see what we can do for his comfort. He is stubborn, but he is learning. The whole experience will be shortly over. Were it not for the benefit of his nature, and as a result of his nature, it would not have been necessary at all.

Those who strive high must know what they do, and understand the effects of not working hard enough, of not allowing themselves sufficient freedom. Apparently he could learn no other way. It will be an object lesson for the rest of his life, but it was not thrust upon him, you see.
