“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

On one occasion you were 12, and on another in very young manhood, perhaps 17, but in your last year of school in any case.

Both occasions panicked you. (Pause.) During one your mind was extremely passive. You were sitting down. I see you bent over a table, either reading or drawing, in the front upstairs room.

The constant line of chatter developed by your one brother (Loren, a year younger than I am) was of course a defense to close out the constant telepathic storm. Your young brother (William, 9 years younger) never set up adequate defenses, so that his own mood swung, willy-nilly, as the psychic climate varied.

Your defense was a creative one however. It turned your natural psychic ability and channeled it into artwork. (Long pause.) The children literally were buffers between the parents. Remember however that there were also reasons having to do with past life experience, and that all of you chose these conditions.

(During break Jane began to get further impressions on her own, and they are noted below. If she was in a trance now it was a very light one. Seth was not involved. It is interesting to see how association works in such cases.

Ruburt, at one point was an artist as a male. Give us time here. (Pause.) You at one time combined music and words. You did not write music. (Long pause.) Both of you have always been strongly creative, have always been concerned with translating inner reality outward.
