“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Good evening to our new friends and to our old one. Now give us a moment if you please.

Now. You do not know each other, our guests, and you have come a long way. Therefore we will give what information or advice that we have without fear of embarrassment on your parts (to Dave and Estelle). For the two of you must grow together more, the husband and the wife.

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 did not mean to stay within physical reality. He only came to show you what was possible, and to bring the both of you to an understanding of inner reality. He chose his illness, it was not thrust upon him. He did not want to be of the earth. He was done with it, and he only returned so that both of you could learn the truths and inner realities that you are now seeking.

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.

Now we will see what we can get further... My best regards to you both. We will let our friend Ruburt take a rest, and resume shortly with our session.

(11:10. Jane left trance rather easily. Ruburt is Seth’s entity name for her. A discussion now commenced among the five of us. Questions arose out of the discussion, and Seth returned in a couple of minutes to answer some of them rather vehemently if briefly.)

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.

Now. Names and dates are important to you, and if we see you again you shall have them. I am interested in what you should know, and what you should know has little to do with names and dates.

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.)

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.

(To Dave:) Now, he had a mathematical knowledge, and you also have this whether or not you realize it. It results from priestly existences where you were both highly involved with calculations having to do with the movement of planets. This also has something to do with the hour of his birth and death, for he had a sense of neatness, and it pleased him to time his arrival and departure.

(Dave now gave us much of the information I’ve incorporated in the notes at the beginning of the session. Seth resumed at 11:47.)

Now. No one can tell you (to Dave) what road to follow.

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.)

I am speaking now in terms of probabilities, for the future in your terms is plastic—it is not cement in which you will become embedded.

If you take a radio job now, and if probabilities continue in the same direction as they are now, then I see another radio job after that one, and then a departure and emergence into another field.

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.)

Now again rest for the scribbly fingers, and we shall continue. (Seth now pointed to John Bradley.) And for you, the time to move is not yet.

(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.

Now. He was ready to leave, and he took what doorways were open, and had you closed them he would have found others.

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.

Now give me a moment for Philip. (Pause. Then Seth speaks to John Bradley.) The triangle symbols, Philip, stand as they have been given. (See the 439th session.) There is yet another man to fall. The time to move is not now. When the time comes the suggestion will come from others, so that it will seem that you are doing them a service—and then you graciously accept.

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.)

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.

(Humorously:) We shall cherish the words ... Now I give you all the blessings I can... (A few words missed.) ...unless you want to take a break, I believe it is time to end it. (To me:) As always I defer to you.
