“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The boy was briefly with you for his own reasons. He was to enlighten you, and so he did. He was of an ancient entity, and you have known him in other lives. He wanted his mother to look inward. He was at one time, he was at one time his father’s uncle.

He did not manufacture sufficient blood, for he did not want to be physical beyond the time that he had allotted himself. He was a light, and a light to you, and the light was not extinguished. The light will lead you into knowledge that you would not have known otherwise, nor would you have sought it as vigorously.

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.

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 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.

Do not accept compromises, for you personally cannot live with them for any length of time. The circumstances that you face will bring out your strengths, and your son has not left you. You simply do not see him.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

([John:] “Will the two months you mention be the reorganization time?”)

(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.

(“Well, I guess it is time to end it, Seth; with everybody’s consent.”
