“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The name Carol is called Arparka now you have seen a physical object behave in a manner in which no physical object has a right to behave. The physical universe is as unpredictable as the behavior of that table. I come to you as a complete stranger. I am a stranger to you but you are not strangers to me, and so you see, I have the advantage, and I always take advantage of my advantages.

If you have questions, I shall answer them but all of this is meant to show you that reality is more than you thought reality to be… I am not here as the host of a party. I am not here for your amusement or pleasure. I am here for your education and training.

I do not see until 1978 a marriage for him (Curt). I am not certain here. I believe a 1938 illness for that one (Dick). If anyone has questions I will answer them. I am not usually so severe but all of you in the room are talented and your responsibility is directly in proportion to your talent and therefore you cannot afford self-pity or complacency or regret.

You have seen the table move. Those of you who come will see more. All of these are childish endeavors (not sure of that word). They amuse you. So be it. But look beyond what you have seen and question it in your own minds. But I say this personally and directly concerns each of you, for unless you develop your own abilities, you shall not fulfill yourselves and you shall not be happy. I am an old man. I have been where you are now. I have been a young man, a young girl, a mother, a father, a son. You must question: why did the table move?

You think of the table as an amusing diversion and this is not the point. I am glad that it was amusing, but amusement was not the point.

A A is a friend of Rupurt’s student, Venice. It is Alexander Anare (the “e” is silent), who died in 1906 and was a friend of her family. He was indeed a lawyer, but also was involved involved in psychic studies with a group in Cleveland called the Brothers of the Fourth Order, and he is particularly interested in the manipulation of physical matter. He had a scientific turn of mind and will, I believe, help you in your experiments.

Energy was used to shatter the table. Energy was used to manipulate physical matter. There is such energy in each one of you. But you are not taking advantage of it, and in not taking advantage of it, you are not fulfilling your responsibilities. I see the Jesuit’s fond smile. You have been shunting aside the full responsibility of yourself, and ignoring them and you cannot for long ignore these responsibilities. You must face these responsibilities and face them, you shall. Full freedom for you shall not be reached in any other manner.

Tonight we used a very simple and elemental example, in itself childlike. The energy that was used to manipulate and move matter compares with energy that resides within each of you. But you are not using it to its fullest, including my friends Rupert and Joseph. There are abilities here that should be fulfilled.

All of you have abilities and potentials but you are held in bond by preconceived ideas of reality. I tell you no. Reality is the table that moved, the table that shattered! Reality is the energy you have. You cannot afford complacency. To be alive is to learn and to grow. How can you close yourselves off in rooms of limited reality. You close your eyes and do not look.

There was a severe difficulty here. You were indeed conceived. There was a difficulty in the lung area. It had to do with a circulatory ailment that manifested later and should be checked. A circulatory trouble involving extremities. There was no awareness of this on the part of your mother, but the difficulty in her own condition partially caused it, a low blood count and circulatory difficulty in her own condition. She did not realize this had any effect on the child…a difficulty, minor enough, in the lumbar region and fourth vertebra. The condition would have recurring tendencies perhaps in February, April and September but would not be pluerisy. Warm salt pads applied to the extremities would be a benefit and also on the fourth vertebra. I will shortly leave you. I extend to you all my best wishes and if I sound severe it is only that I would wake you up to your full potentials and I speak to the part of yourself to which you are not listening.

(Later talking to Bill Gallagher: He and Pat Norelli stood at one side of the table, exerting strong pressure to force third leg to floor. Never did get it down. Before they did, one of the 2 legs already on the floor, opposite them, gave way. Tabletop didn’t break beneath Bill’s hands, he said, but, he believes, when table fell over to floor & struck edge of table top against floor, away from Bill and Pat.
