“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, good evening.

Now the question is: what can be done, and how can the battered sections of the self best be put together?

The physical matters mentioned should be taken care of immediately. That will be a start. Now, he does not entirely recognize his position. (Long pause.) He has temporarily abdicated, but there is no basic reason to believe that this will be permanent. The danger does exist. However, I told you the ego was set aside, and fear was at the root.

He is beginning to come together again. It is necessary now that he see through endeavors, and face the consequences of his own psychological action.

Now. From your viewpoint in three-dimensional reality it is safe, most advantageous, to journey into other dimensions only when you have a reliable vehicle in which to travel. You cannot leap out of the craft in midstream, so to speak, nor have the craft develop serious difficulties when you are far from shore. This is what happened.

Now, it is indeed a mirage, but it is a mirage with which you must deal. It is not so much, you see, as he thought, that nothing has meaning. Everything has so much meaning that basically no one thing can have more meaning than another, because all reality is implied within each sample of it.

He projected a meaninglessness upon reality, and then fell prey to it. Here the senses themselves can help revive him. (Long pause.) He seems now to be choosing between identities, but there is one waiting for him, and it is a probable ego that he did not adopt as a child.

Now, it can form new ego elements to help it, and this is what is happening now.

(10:15. Jane’s pace was somewhat faster now, and her eyes opened occasionally. Her voice was stronger and she said she was pretty far-out.

He had retreated into the formlessness that he had himself created. He will come out on the other side. There will be some distortions. (Pause.) Within three months time there should be a noticeable improvement. Now by improvement I mean an indication that a central core of personality is once again in charge.

It is now important that he relearn the objective nature of your reality, the simple sanity of an apple as an apple. After this then perhaps he can begin to wonder at the reality behind the objective universe. Now he must let it nurse him.

I do indeed wish him good fortune. For now it is sufficient that he take comfort in the familiar physical universe.

Now, we will shortly end our session. The impression I have is strongly of a woman connected with the family. Possibly in the fifties. A longtime family connection, and a message having to do with plans or a change of plan.

Now we will indeed close for this evening… The Wisconsin connection on your part has already occurred, and we shall try to give you more on this at our next session. My heartiest regards to you all, and good evening.

(11:25. Jane said her impression of the woman in question was of a person more masculine than usual for a female, but she didn’t voice this during the session. John said that while Seth was speaking the name Laura Bittner popped into his mind. He saw this woman, who is stocky and in her fifties or early sixties, at his mother’s funeral, for the first time in many years, and now remembered that L.B. had been a close friend of his mother’s when he [John] was a child.

(John also told us now that his wife has an Aunt Catherine who fits Seth’s description of a stocky woman in her fifties. He didn’t know about a message however.)
