“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the case of the apparitions and ghosts mentioned in that session, there was one main difficulty behind their situation. Even though the physical image as such had been left behind, the individuals were not able to change their focus of attention away from the physical system.

The focus of attention cannot be as strong as it was in physical life, hence the inability to deal with energy in those terms. The personality insists on behaving as if it were in the physical condition however, and out of habit attempts to construct a physical form. He is not imprisoned within this pseudoimage, since he forms it, but the energy used is misdirected and largely futile.

(9:45. Jane’s delivery was active and positive, with her eyes open much of the time. Resume at 9:58.)

Ruburt was correct in his assumptions about your cat. All of this has to do with the nature of existence and personality, for your personality directly affects your plants. Personality can have a corrosive or soothing effect upon such unlikely things as the paint upon your walls. So smoothly and yet so constantly do these effects change as personalities come and go that your universe as it seems to you, seems to continue to exist.

(10:25. Jane said that her trance was good, that Seth was coming through fine. She had a sense of energy and that the material was beyond her, or coming through her.

Ruburt is now, you see, again taking joy in physical motion. This is because the spirit is regaining its joy. The earlier resistance against exercise was quite understandable, for it was a symptom of the inner resistance.

The main focus in his work will now begin to show itself. There was resistance against it in the past. It will involve this material. United with the unique nature of Ruburt’s own writing abilities.

They will be fully developed best, easiest, in dealing with this material and through his poetry. He set himself this main goal at a very young age. He did not know why he had the writing ability, nor what he was to do with it. He will work out the best way of doing this, for it will be a natural development, an alchemy, resulting from the nature of his own writing talents, which are considerable, his own intuitions, and the material. They will form a natural whole. They will combine to a natural art production and career.

(10:50. Jane said Seth was very affectionate at the end.)
