“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

My heartiest welcome to our young friend, and to our late-coming Jesuit (Bill Gallagher, who arrived just as the session began), and of course, our cat lover (Peg).

Now. Our young gentleman friend has come a long way to visit me, but then I also came a long way, you see, to visit you.

Yours or mine. Now, we have somewhat balanced the atmosphere of the session. I am not always as serious, young man, as I intend to be with you.

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.

You may take a brief break and we shall then continue. You were a lovely young woman.

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.

We shall see. (Pause.) Death in a mine explosion. Our young friend, in many of his lives, has been involved in traveling, living in a country in which he was not originally a native.

(10:30. Peter Murtough told us that he has an Uncle John in Australia who is about 40, lives in Canberra and has two young children.
