“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. To arrive at any real understanding of human personality several prerequisites must be met.

Now I mean this literally. Reality is on the one hand the product of perception. On the other hand that which is, is always present as the basis for any perception. That which is perceives itself, you see. The unitary self is basically an illusions and yet individuality is no illusion.

Now, there is an overall personality pattern that is characteristic of each whole self, of which the reincarnated selves each give evidence. There are particular and unique overall goals and abilities that the whole self strives for through these existences. Any psychology worthy of the name must take this inner motivation into consideration.

Now. Ruburt can learn much by observing his young students.

Now, do you have an envelope for me?

(“Writing on one side. The back, I believe, and something relating to images on the front. On the back I mean handwriting. Steps. Ruburt thinks of an old photograph of himself, with his dog. And connects this with his father.” Again Seth helps out here after break. We think this data stems partly from the image Jane had of herself earlier, and that two ideas are mixed up here. There is a Baltimore connection, in that Baltimore is mentioned on the pepper can, as explained; also, Jane has a photo of herself taken on a set of the typical white Baltimore stone steps, with her dog, Mischa, now dead.

Now. I do not particularly see the benefit of too much afterdiscussion with these experiments, unless of course there is something to be learned. And here there is.

The photograph connection. Now. I tried to give the impression of salt, to bring Ruburt to salt and pepper. He interpreted this however in his own way, as saltwater, and the photograph was taken by the ocean, with rocks and sand, and the sand, you see, was picked up because of the grains.

(“I’ll ask this question now, and you can develop it as you choose: Can you help Jane contact survival personalities?”)

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?

(“I guess not now, thank you.”)

Now. A most fond and affectionate good evening.
