“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth:) You have tales, but tonight is not the night of telling. Now. I have been here and I have not intruded, because you are learning to collect and use energy on your own. I did, indeed, however stand in front of each one of you and looked into your faces and you did not see me. It is some experience to stand before another and see no comprehension in his face ... but I am used to it. Now. You (JB and SW) used your energy like a ball that a child plays with, both you and Ruburt. And you tossed it back and forth, but you did not collect and direct it properly, and we shall have to give you lessons. But you shall do the work.

You (SW) lost some good bets this evening. And you (CW) lost many good bets this evening. Now. There is a difference between passivity and alert passivity. And you need to learn the difference. Here you need to learn the difference. Again, I welcome our new member (LD).

(To SW and CW) I do have one point to make. The child was a girl... 1432... France... and at one time your sister... Strong literary abilities... some interest in music... Should not be pampered for the personality is already given to indulgence. There may be an allergy to wheat... early in life... Was also known to this one here in Spain, the country now called Spain... in 801 as an uncle then a warrior-type personality, but again given to indulgence.

Now, in your terms, I am dead!(Very loud.) How can you then be less lively? Why is it that I must tell you what vitality is... when, in your terms, I am a gray ghost that flits through the darkness of the night... a face that peers through second-story windows (in reference to SW’s being frightened by a face that appeared at her window recently) and meets with no response but a sigh of horror. I visit my friends and they nearly faint. (SW apologized.)

It is a portion that has been physical. It is a portion that can understand your (TM) being overwhelmed with work; it is a portion that can understand your being full with child (SW); it is a portion that can understand the times when you wanted to leave physical reality (CW); it is a portion that can understand the part of you (SB) that wanted to be a star; it is a portion that can understand the part of you that wanted to conquer, and is afraid to conquer (WL); it is a portion that can understand the guilt you (RC) feel for no reason; it is a portion that can understand the aspirations that you (LD) were unable to fulfill... and if you had fulfilled them, you would not be looking into the subjects that you are looking into now. You would not feel the need to look for answers. It is a part that can understand why you (VM) have so related to this man; it is a part that can understand why the five, and seven, and eight-year-old girl that you were has related to this man, and not independently gone on. It is the part that can understand why you let your aspirations go (TM).
