“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. I have several points to cover, and they tie into our topic directly or indirectly.

Often I answer his questions without mentioning that they had been in his mind. Now, I will particularly mention that he has been concerned over various problems having to do with your own father, and with your Miss Callahan.

He wondered about their mental condition in relation to the overall consciousness. Now. Consciousness can never fully express itself in physical terms, as you know. Through various reincarnations the entity attempts to express itself more and more competently within the framework of physical reality.

Now there is a comparable situation occurring on some occasions in a completely different direction, and for completely different reasons. At birth the past reincarnated self may in some cases refuse or be unable to let go control over physical matter. When this happens there is awareness on the part of the new personality of the old life, but more, a clinging over, a tenacious holding onto, on the part of the previous self.

(Long pause.) He could not materialize. In a sense he was more your passive mother than your father. He could not communicate. His love of machinery was his attempt, his strongest attempt, to make his being physical. The man you call your father is happier now than he has ever been.

(Long pause.) Your father and two brothers were originally part of the same entity. Your two brothers and Ruth Butts are part of the same entity. Now hear me. This is difficult. (Pause.) The main energy of the man you call your father left long ago, as I told you. He (pause) gathered his energies together and is waiting, but part of his energies were given to the son of Ruth (my first cousin).

Now. Do you see how much better I can come through now?

(9:44. I thought Jane had been in a deep trance. Now, she leaned back in her rocker, with her eyes still closed. A minute passed. “Are you here?” I asked, but received no response. Jane sat quite still with her eyes still closed and her hands clasped together gently.

This is not simple to explain, yet I would do poorly by you if I left you with a simple explanation. Emotional feelings are vital. Emotional identities are indestructible. Personalities that you have known in past lives will know you after transition. This does not mean that for their own purposes they have not joined in psychic mergers that you cannot presently understand. As I am joined in a psychic merger with you now, and am still myself, and you yourself.

Now I hope that you will understand me intuitively, for what I have said confounds the intellect to some considerable degree. But I speak through Ruburt, and Ruburt is himself and I am myself, yet without your support of Ruburt I could not speak. This in no way minimizes my reality, or Ruburt’s. So your father’s use of his own energies does not minimize what he is, nor his overall sense of direction.

Now all of this pertains to our main discussion, for the implications are plain. He, in the old-man body, enjoys the solitude that he always wanted. Your mother was originally the spark that made him relate at all to physical reality, and that is why he resented her, why he fought her, and why she could not respect him. He enjoys the luxury now of not reacting, in his terms. (Pause.)

Now, I am here in this room. I am also in another place in another time. Your father is in several dimensions at once. All of this is value fulfillment. It is growth.

We are doing well with Ruburt. We are coming through so clearly in fact that he is now in the process of learning how to disentangle himself from me. I leave willingly, but my energy is so strong that he does not know how to let me go. He is fully relaxed. He is not used to feeling my presence however so strongly.

(Jane remembered the last part of the material. “But I didn’t know what to do at break,” she said. “I was still Seth at break, but I could tell when you got up and moved around, across the light, even with my eyes closed… Everything now is fading away as I talk to you. I felt real funny when the session ended.”
