“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are several points I would like to make concerning psychological identity. For the sake of analogy only now, imagine your present self at the center of a circle of endless spirals. You are yourself, and yet one of the spirals that form the circle. You are a vortex for the circle. You do not have to contact it nor its other spirals, in that you already belong to it.

They are to a large degree, but not entirely, self-perpetuating, as if the seeds of an apple, instead of falling down to the ground, fell backward into some mysterious dimension within the core of the apple itself. And yet because of the creative abilities of this mysterious dimension, more than inbreeding would be concerned, for it of itself could provide entirely fresh and new elements out of which further creativity could come.

(To me.) I speak to you as Joseph, and all unknowingly you react as Joseph; (leans forward) for Robert F. Butts alone, or Jane Roberts alone, would never have met me.

(Pause at 10:31.) Ruburt may be invited to go somewhere or do something, on a Wednesday shortly, and I suggest that he not do so. There seems to be a situation that could arise, that would be highly unpleasant to him, and therefore to you.

The request will be sprung upon him, and that is why I am telling you in advance, to prepare him. A car would be somehow involved, and a probable accident with another driver. This seems to be the season for accidents, according to our sessions.

A cousin seems to be involved, though not necessarily of your family. For example, someone may want him to speak to a relative, or visit one. This is a probability. Four people would be involved. He has only to refuse, politely.

The episode would take place fairly shortly in your time, in the immediate future. Now I am after something here, difficult to pinpoint, and will give you what clues I can. (Pause.)

(It took a long time to coax and command her out of her trance. When finally her eyes began to open, briefly, they showed a tendency to roll up. She would quickly correct this rolling each time. When at last she began to talk she said she was “not really here, but not out of my body either,” while giving this automobile-accident probability data.

(One possible ride Jane might have taken with another was obviated when she decided not to lecture to Dr. Freudenberger’s class at NYU in White Plains, NY. Jane was offered a ride there by an ESP class member, and this would have been on a Wednesday. Note that at the start of this session Seth agreed with Jane’s decision not to lecture to Dr. F’s class, without saying why.
