“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, good evening to you all. To our friend Pete, and to Stephen and Julie.

Now, the love that binds you all is a close, sometimes open… (words missed again)…that which is too much for him at this time… (and again.)… This sort of session is not primarily to tell you what you should do, Stephen. It is not a means of helping you avoid decision, my good friend. The purpose of such a session is instead to help you develop, to grow in self-confidence and strength through making your own decisions.

Now, the following is to Stephen. You are highly impetuous, and this can be to your advantage, and, also, as you must know, to your disadvantage. You have not asked me, Stephen, the right questions for you. It is not to your overall benefit that you continue as you have in many ways.

A balanced daily consumption of protein and carbohydrates, of meats and vegetables. 138 to 140 is the lowest you should go as far as your weight is concerned. Now, you may or may not take my advice as you prefer. In any case I have given it to you.

Now, let us see further.

Stephen, you should try relaxation techniques. You are overly nervous, partially as a result of your dietary deficiencies, and also by certain temperamental tendencies. You have fine qualities. You are not, however, using them to capacity now.

You will grow as you make your own decisions. You must simply take my word for it, that it would be highly disadvantageous to your development if I told you what you should do now, and what steps you should take.

We will have more to say to you shortly. I suggest now that we take a brief break. And Julie, I will have a few words to say to you also.

Now, again to Stephen. Many of the things you want can indeed be obtained by you. If they are attained they will be attained through your own development and through the use of your own abilities.

Now. It is not easy, dear Stephen, at your age, nor indeed at any age, to hear words that you do not particularly want to hear.

Now give us a moment, please. You do have an ability with animals, and you will do well working with them. Now I will tell you something, dear friend, and I hope sincerely that in later years you thank me, though I do not believe you will thank me now.

Now. You need not be afraid of failure, and this is your main difficulty. You have strength and ability that you do not realize you possess, and it will withstand you. You do not have to be afraid of testing yourself against attainable goals. You do not have to look for windfalls.

You have your own abilities, and properly used they will lead to your own development and happiness. Remember, no one owes you anything, but you owe everything to yourself. Now if I sound like the old man from the mountain, so must it be. My heartiest good wishes to you however.

Now I suggest a brief break and I shall speak to Julie.

Now. This is to our high-apple-pie-in-the-sky girl.

Now you have been doing very well, and with attainable goals. Give us a moment, please. I believe there may be a change in the future for you, involving your area of employment. (Pause.) Perhaps within an eight-month period, though I am not certain here of the time element. There may be a Denver connection.

Now this is only an impression. We will perhaps pursue it in a moment—a Denver connection, or a man’s name… Dan, or the man will have a connection with Denver. This is a probability and not a frozen future, however. Now give is a moment. (Pause.)

Now give us a moment. We have enjoyed the presence of your brother very much, and we return him to you the better, we hope, for the experience.

(The tape, which had been flopped, now finished its run, shortly before the session ended.)

—there is now hope for your success, for you can now take the necessary steps to achieve it.

(10:50. Jane was by now beginning to look quite tired, but we could tell the session wasn’t over yet. Resume at 11:05.)

Now. Here we are, young man. I hope that we have been able to be of some help to your brother, for it is time for him to change some of his ways.

([Pete:] “Right now?”)

Right now indeed.

I give you then my very best wishes (pause), and my warm affection. Joseph, I believe we shall now close for the evening.
