“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley was a witness to the session. John brought with him confirmation of some of Seth’s predictions given in the 439th session, to Jane’s pleased surprise. The data involves personnel in John’s company, Searle, and is somewhat complicated. John is going to go over the session material, using his recorder, to sum up Seth’s predictions to date re Searle.

(The session was also witnessed by Estelle and Dave Craig, 1750 E. 21st Street, Brooklyn, New York. The Craigs drove up from New York City late this afternoon to attend the session. Jane was recommended to them by Ray Van Over; they wanted information on the death and attendant circumstances of their son Michael, who died last month at a little over 3 years of age.

(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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

I am saying that you, and you, every individual, is in control of their own destiny. I was not speaking specifically of a relationship.

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.

I use the word acquaintanceship, for in this life, on a physical level and in physical terms only, you did not understand him for what he was, though you sensed what he was and to some extent reacted to what he was.

...He wanted to give you an impetus, and his effect was far stronger when he died than had he lived, and he knew this... For his abilities could not have been used fully in this existence and he would have met frustration.

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.)

(Again, I had to ask Seth to slow down when the pace was too fast for notes.)

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.

He knew this and was amused, and he had a game with you, for he knew you loved him, and he knew what you did not know: that because of a past life relationship you would find it difficult to realize who he was.

(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.

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.

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.)

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.

(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.)
