“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane was having some difficulty assuming a trance state. She said she was picking up negative and fearful emotions from me. My emotional condition at the was a mixture of embarrassment for I was about to be exposed; guilt that I was imposing on a friend, for I want to give to friends, not take from them; an utter fear that Seth was about to smash my hopes with the truth. It took concentrated effort on Jane’s part to break through my emotional barrier and assume a trance state.)

([Rob:]“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth’s voice was deeper when the session began again.)

([Pat:] “He said that all the poems were used to avoid communication, which is something I sensed, anyhow, which is something that I kept trying to get around. In an effort to communicate, I was blocking communication. I’ve never seen Seth in such a good mood. Every time I’ve seen him, he’s always been bawling someone out.”

([Rob:] “I think it would be a good idea if you ask questions, also. When certain points are being discussed, ask questions as in a regular conversation. It won’t disturb Seth.”

([Rob:] “Well, a lot of it depends on background knowledge. I don’t know what he thinks of Seth. That’s why I don’t know whether it would be good for him to listen to it or not.”

([Pat:] “But he shouldn’t take it as something personal. I know I can listen to this, what Seth says about me, and I can take it, and I can take what he says about Dick, too. I think he could accept it too.”

([Rob:] “But he needs to understand the nature of Seth and study the concepts involved, or he will reject anything unpleasant.”

([Pat:] “I think Dick is interested in the subject. He wanted to have a Seth session.”

([Pat:] “But I hate to ask for a Seth session. What right have I got to ask for a Seth session.”

([Pat:] “Yes, I know. And around school he plays the ‘cool guy’ role, the ‘love them and leave them’ image. Not in what he says but in his appearance. This is the image that others project on him and he allows the image to stay. The students accept this as being Dick. Most of the other women or men like to destroy the image or try to prove it wrong, but they do that out of resentment; they see Dick as a threat. Now showing that image and suddenly having Seth come along and say he doesn’t want physical relations with a female; this could be hard to accept. And yet out of all the people, we would be able to accept this and not see anything wrong.”

(Then Seth turned to Rob and said:) Now I have put myself out, Joseph and I’ve joked and for this I get a tear.

([Rob:] “May we have a break, Seth.” Tape was running out.)

([Jane:] “Remember when she asked Seth that last question?”

([Rob:] “So you see, that puts a far different light on a person’s behavior than just to say he’s afraid to get married or he’s afraid of women.” Seth entered here.)

([Rob:] “Good night, Seth.”
