“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. You have indeed many abilities to be developed, and you need to work in order to develop them fully. In later years if you continue, then you will find a considerable change in the Ferd (trance) personality. He is himself in a period of transition, and there are several difficulties that are operating.

The validity and quality of any communications will rest primarily with the energy with which you are willing to develop your abilities. Halfway measures will not give you clear reception, nor reliable material. The systems with which we deal are too delicate, too finely balanced, to operate with any efficiency unless there is constant study, application, and devotion to the attempt. I tell you this because you are young, and must make your own decision. Halfway measures are not beneficial to the overall personality. They can lead to difficulties.

A steady and dedicated responsibility will best allow you to develop your ability and insure the validity of your communications. I tell you, young man, honestly, that halfway measures are worse than none. The personality with halfway measures is constantly in a state of stress and confusion. Halfway measures therefore are the pitfall.

Now. If you decide to devote this time, energy and concentration to these endeavors consistently, then you should indeed meet with success. Time is necessary, for certain portions of your personality must be given the opportunity to catch up with other portions. You have been doing very well. The breather and the change of environment is good for you just now. This is a rather a weighty endeavor, therefore you should indeed realize what it requires of you. If you are willing then you shall do well, for the abilities are indeed there, and you can learn to use them.

I am not sugar-coating the process for you, for this would not be to your advantage. Nor will I understate the advantages that can be yours if you do so continue, for there are many. There will be direct experience of inner reality that is encountered most infrequently, and expansion of consciousness and a resulting fulfillment of your own personality.

The other relative is in Australia. Give us a moment please. (Pause.) There was a relationship existing between our young friend and the personality known as Ferd back in the Polish existence. They were then contemporaries.
