“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.

You are here for one evening. We can hardly cover much. We have 12th-century Poland for your wife, the earlier existences given earlier. Your main hope and desire now is for inner security that you are not on shifting sands. Remember you form the sands that shift, and in yourself you will find the answers if you are not impatient. You must not demand them of yourself, you must let them come.

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.

(Here I asked Seth to slow down and received a humorous reply. Corrections made & added after copy received from Craigs on November 22. See also page 139.)

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.

Now, I have lived and died many times, and you must admit (Seth speaks strongly and humorously, forcefully, eyes open) that you can sense my vitality; and so I can tell you that the vitality of the boy exists in as vital terms. It would have been indeed almost a penance for him to have stayed here longer. You did not save his life one time, you helped him save his soul, and he gallantly returned the favor; for he at one time was tempted to use his abilities for power and to use the priesthood for gain, and on that occasion you stopped him. (Seth pointed to Dave.)

(To John:) I have not forgotten you over here. Far be it, Philip, that I should forget your weighty problems of compromise and profit. Out of due regard to all the wiggling fingers I will let you take a break, and then we shall resume our session.

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.)

I am trying to give you information that can be filled in, or not, later. A Spanish reincarnation here (to Estelle) in the land at least called Spain, 1142 approximately, as a male. This beside the joint lives that I have mentioned.

You have indeed been given a blessing. The son came to you out of love, for he did not need to come. His own problems here were solved, and he had met his challenges. All his abilities were fulfilled that could be fulfilled within this framework. He was ready for other fields of reality.

No. The information as I gave it I thought to be particularly clear. (Now Jane, as Seth, pointed to Dave and Estelle) And yes, here, for another child—one who needs to be cherished and guarded and has a fate to fulfill in physical reality, who will need you. You needed your son. The other child will need you.
