“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In some respects this is meant to be a cozy, confidential session. Now. At long last our friend has really embarked upon our book. Now beside everything else, Joseph, there were stresses and strains put upon Ruburt’s personality. They were not caused by me, and yet the experience itself, as any new experience, any worthwhile endeavor, any breakthrough, was bound to challenge the abilities of the personality.

My personality itself has been a stabilizing influence, and I have given Ruburt counsel even when he was not aware of my doing so. His personality, like your own, has benefited in ways you cannot measure. As you have always known, his attitude toward our book represented, of course, his attitude toward our sessions. Intuitive freedoms should now be realized on his part. He had been blocking many of these. I will say little of the symptoms. They will vanish as he continues to come to terms with himself.

Obviously the cause behind illness is not always the same. In a reincarnational sense, the personality for a while takes the role of a sick person, as an actor would, and is completely immersed in it. Obviously again, more dimensions are involved here than in an actor’s role. The actor would merely try to imagine how it would be like to be in such a position. The person in the reincarnational role is as immersed in it as possible. He decides to take the role for various reasons of his own, and the inner self knows that the role was chosen.

Earlier I recommended a good hypnotist, hoping that the woman might find her way if positive suggestions were given; for even if the inner self had solved its problems, it would need help, psychological help, in reversing the physical trend. I hoped such a hypnotist could act therefore as a guide, if the personality was ready to begin a journey to health. The inner personality was not ready.

(Jane’s pace was now rather slow, and was to get much slower, with many long pauses. Most of these will not be indicated here.)

My ideas are so different from those with which she has been accustomed that it was difficult for us to communicate. I am trying to put this in simple terms. (Pause.) We are all individuals regardless of our plane of existence. The woman could not relate to me well. The doctor of whom I have spoken has a more fundamental approach, you see. Do you follow me here?

(10:30. Jane smiled and came out of trance easily. She was quite surprised when I told her that it had been a slow one, indeed with quite a few long pauses interspersed. She had not been aware of any such delays while in trance.

(She said she knew from Seth that Seth had frightened Peg somewhat; that is, his approach had been one she was unaccustomed to, and it would have been better had he talked with Peg about Jesus, His love and healing power, etc.
