“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane herself began to wonder, she said, about answers to such complicated questions after the call. Jane said she felt Seth getting her ready for the session early. She began speaking in trance in a quiet voice, using many pauses, her eyes opening often as usual.)

Give us a moment, please. (Pause.) Now, we have strong electrical brain discharges, in disorganized patterns.

Emotions are electrical, magnetic realities. Sufficient enough repression here has caused these rampant electric brain discharges that automatically affect the motor systems. (Pause.) Deep within, there is no peace upon which stability is based, hence the constant erratic disorders, and the lack of muscular and motor control.

The hypnotic sessions still represent her best chances, if the resistances can be conquered. (Long pause.)

Free choice is always involved. The purpose is always knowledge and development, rather than punishment, self-punishment. The woman, in a past life, was once a man (pause), Italian, in a hill village. We will try to fill you in on times and dates and locations later.

He lost his own wife, and was left with a highly neurotic and completely crippled daughter, for whom he cared for many years. The woman’s name as a man (pause) was Nicolo Vanguardi (my phonetic interpretation) and the daughter’s name was Rosalina. He resented the girl, and while he cared for her he did not do so kindly.

He wanted to remarry. No one would have him because of his daughter. The girl, when she could, defied him. (Long pause.) She was a rather handsome-looking young woman, though not of stable temperament, crippled but not deformed.

This time he plays that part and is completely immersed in it. There are connections. (Long pause.) John was the man with whom the daughter left. (Pause.) Now. (Pause.) John’s wife loves him, and has been made subconsciously to see the good points in his personality. In the past he hated the man who took away the daughter.

The problem is a challenge set up by the entity for one of its personalities, but the outcome is left up to the individual. This was the major stumbling block, the last major one for this personality. Other lives had been fulfilling, but the personality had never set for itself (pause) any position in the past that was not one of strength.

It should be mentioned that in such cases the inner self, as divorced from the more accessible subconscious, is aware of the situation, and finds release in very valid terms (pause), through frequent inner communications, whereby past successes are remembered, and to some extent reexperienced. The dream state becomes an extremely vivid time for these activities, and they are not imaginary.

The daughter, the original daughter, you see, is now Peg’s mother. No one else from that life is known to them, though the original family was a large one. (Pause.) There is an historical connection with the village, or close area nearby; and not too far away a fort, a Roman fort, within fifty miles I believe of the town.
