“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such a book would be written during our sessions however, dictated by me, for our friend Ruburt would not let me inside his own writing hours.

It would involve a look and an examination of your system of reality as it appears to me. It would include my statements as to how these communications take place, and what manipulations are necessary from my side.

(Smile.) I would of course provide the reader with a statement of my own background, and to some extent compare my attitudes toward your system of reality, for when I lived within it my opinions were far different than they are now.

I would make clear the nature and conditions in which I now have my existence, and explain some of the reasons for the various, often contradictory, statements made concerning life after death. Statements received by various mediums, in which quite different pictures of afterlife reality are received.

Such a book would also include, of course, my methods of entry into your system, and the sort of psychological bridge personality that results. For what you have during sessions is not really my complete identity. (Pause.) Your reality cannot include all that I am. There must be some sort of psychological structure present for me to use during my communications, generally speaking.

At times however my identity comes through, and my reality, so clearly, that comparatively speaking (underlined), I can exist independently as myself without Ruburt’s usual assistance.

All of this of course would be explained in detail. (Pause. Jane’s pace had slowed considerably by now.) Ruburt could if he chose, add his own notes and comments, for his experience in our sessions is vastly different from mine. (Pause.) Such a book would have nothing whatsoever to do with Ruburt’s writing, which should progress at its own rate.

The introductory book is still an excellent idea, and a challenge to Ruburt’s own ability.

He needs the challenge, and I am sure that he will meet it. It is far stranger than fiction, and if he will but see, such a book carries its own built-in suspense.

There is no reason why Ruburt cannot work on his own book simultaneously, and from his viewpoint. He should return to his poetry however, and his painting as a hobby. These are his strong points, and the painting represents more than he realizes, for he has a talent for it from previous experience.

The exercise will do much to override this, for you are strong enough and you need inner freedom. There is behind such seemingly undirected, abstract tumult and energy, direction that cannot be intellectually perceived, but can be intuitively sensed. And this is the force that is behind your own art and all creativity. (Pause.)

It can even serve as a framework for creativity, for from these raw materials you can forge and direct energy for your own purposes. You can take that tumult and use it, but not if you set yourself up against it. Then, it is threatening to you.

Very good. It will help also at times if, when hearing various voices that have annoyed you in the past, you try to think of them in terms of images and colors. At other times simply go along with them, without such ideas, and your intuitions will deliver their own product.

Realize also, and I am sure that you do (smile), that the sounds penetrate the matter of your body. Imagine their realities in other than auditory ways.

You can do this in the opposite manner, building up from sounds visual frameworks that are completely original portraits, created from the sound of voices. Even landscapes, elemental but fragile, built up from the ebb and flowing voice of traffic as it passes by your door. As an artist use everything.
