“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Michael had been an exceptionally warm, sensitive and brilliant child. He had begun to speak at but a few months age. He had been good at numbers, and along with Dave interested in astronomy. He died at 3 years, 4 months. He was born on a Thursday, June 10 at 6:08, and died on a Thursday in October, 1968 at 6:08, almost 4 years to the day from conception. Dave and Estelle were curious about the play of similar numbers here, among other things—since these notes touch upon but a small part of the information given Jane and me through the evening.

There are cleavages, but the best portions of both of your personalities can be most effectively fulfilled if those cleavages are bridged, bypassed. Now give us a moment. (Pause.)

He was well aware of this. He wanted you to begin the pilgrimage that you were beginning, but the pilgrimage is within yourselves.

He was indeed involved in scientific endeavors, both in Atlantis and in Egypt, but he had no desire to continue those pursuits in this present existence. He had gone quite beyond them. As his uncle, the father was also involved with him in two past lives in the same relationship, and as priests they were also interested in the inner workings of the universe.

The father however had a particularly unpleasant life in 14th Century France, and (to Dave) if you will refuse what you had learned in the past, he could not force you to remember. But he could give you a nudge and a push, gently, and in this existence he did so.

It is not the time for you to run willy-nilly, looking for truth in any treetop—the truth is inside your own skull, and you at least know how to find it; but discipline and intuition is involved. Your son is not a three-year-old any longer. He is an entity older than you, and he has tried to point the way to you.

The child knew well what he was doing, and subconsciously you also knew. He is not an infant to be pitied, nor a child taken from you before his promise was achieved. He was a personality who left you when his own reincarnations were finished. (In here I missed a few words because of Seth’s faster pace. Copy added after receipt of Craigs’ copy on November 22, 1968. See also page 141.) He returned to help you and show you the way. He is at present resting. He will not return, but go to another reality where his abilities can be used to more advantage.

You are in control, you are not moved by other forces. You do not always understand nor comprehend, but you have already set your goals and you have chosen your circumstances. You are all working out problems, and you set the problems for yourselves. No one else gives them to you. You know what they are.

The child had no problems of his own to work out in this existence, but because of love and past relationships he came to act as a light to you both. Now you may take your social break.

The child was not a child. You are not to look backward, but forward for the very fulfillment of your own abilities—and I am speaking to you both—will come as a direct result of your acquaintanceship with your son.

Now, he would have been highly frustrated had he continued. Not having enough blood was significant. His vitality was here strongly (words missed), but it was not in physical terms... literally he deprived himself of blood so that he could live on his own terms, and so that the mother and father could live in ways that they have forgotten. There was no witness there, and he expected his death to bring out your own strengths.

There was some alienation, not on the boy’s part but on your own—(to Estelle:) now look up so you will see who I am speaking of... with the boy, having to do with a past life.... You were afraid to accept him for what he was because of some references in your past lives together.

No one can tell you the, correct road to follow, but you have the answer within yourself. Beware those who give you ready answers. Now give us a moment. (Pause.)

You should definitely stay in the communications field. (Pause.) You should not be involved now or in the near future in any communications endeavor that involves a taking on of other roles in any sort of acting. You have some abilities here, but those same abilities can also confuse you. (Pause.)

There will be contact in your dream states. You are to rely upon the inner knowledge that he has intuitively made clear to you. You are not to rely upon him, but upon what he gave you. You are to look within yourselves, and he has left you the strengths to do so. (Pause.

(Smile.) You were a cowboy(to Dave), but not in this country. In France. You were not professionally a cowboy, but you dealt with transportation involved with horses. You did not die by gun wound. (Dave had said he thought he had, at last break.) You inflicted such a wound upon another, though this was in self-protection, and emotional impetus of the time was strongly written upon your inner memory.

(12:03 AM. Jane took a little longer coming out of trance now. Break was a long one, and during it Jane gave Estelle a long series of impressions on her own, involving the Craigs’ son Michael, and others. I did not make notes on these but Estelle did; she is going to send us a copy of these to be inserted in this record. Some of this material concerned symptoms of the type of blood condition adopted by Michael.

It was not an ending to him, but a beginning, and it will be a beginning to you both. You will not see him now the heir to vulnerability, for he has passed beyond it in your terms, and he chose his own gateway. You will not see him grow old, but he has grown old many times, and there was no need for him to grow old again.

You are to develop your own abilities, and he will help you develop them now. In many ways he is able to communicate with you now, as he could not as a child. (Pause.) You will have much to tell others, and you will be able to help them. I am speaking now to the father; but only if you look for answers within yourself and not from others.

He will help you and he will also help his mother. On one occasion the mother and the son were brothers, and in friendly rivalry; and that rivalry to some extent still lingered, but it was a rivalry that was built upon love. (Pause.)

It is natural in your situation that you look to others for help, and in my way I hope I have helped you. There is a difference between being told things and knowing them, and the knowing comes from within. And when you know you do not need to be told, and you can have that kind of knowing. I will be glad to help you find it, but no one can find it for you.

The Tuesday meeting will not have the repercussions that you imagine. The affair will slide for now, but in approximately two months it will come to a head. Do not let it go to your head. (Smile; pause.)

(Again, see the 439th session. John’s question above was not taken down by me verbatim, but is a close approximation. The falling of the man from the first triangle was predicted by Seth in the 439th session, on Sept. 30, 1968, and took place a few days before this session.)
