“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When the figure comes closer let him speak first. You are then using your own enthusiasm and are in control of it. If you develop properly you will understand when the figure speaks. The figure is a person you have known who will help you in your own endeavors... It will not appear until you are ready... Your own abilities must be developed enough so that the meeting takes place.

To some extent you even gave commercials, for wherever you went you spoke of the superior powers of a people to the north. (Pause.) You came before an invasion. You also had some clairvoyant abilities and used them to spice up the day-to-day news.

Now there were invading forces from the north and you moved ahead of them, warning the people; and sometimes because of your clairvoyant abilities you could tell just where the invading forces would be in a particular area. And so finally you warned the people, and so the people moved ahead of the forces.

...Do not be overanxious to develop your abilities ... (To Tam:) You must be in control... This is extremely important. When you work with tables, work with those who are experienced in such things...

Meditation is good for you, and my exercises ... At no time do you want your abilities to work full blast without control... Difficulties arise because the individual is not in control... You do not want to drive your car at 90 mph without brakes, for example ...

(Here, speaking rapidly, Seth went to some pains to emphasize to Tam the importance of the individual being in full control of his abilities, letting them develop slowly and naturally at all times so that the individual would feel at ease with them. He used the speeding-car analogy to hammer home the point.)

The telepathic abilities are good for you. Also the meditation... You have healing abilities and should use them... You are strongly gifted... Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to be so careful. This data is more important to you now than reincarnational material.

(To Tam:) Personally, your healing abilities are stronger in early evening, as opposed to the rest of the day. You should practice using them daily... even when passing someone on the street. This opens new channels... helps you learn to handle them...

Do not concentrate on symptoms, but on feelings of health... Do not get caught up in sympathy... abilities won’t be as effective. Before sleep direct your thoughts to those who need help... The healing abilities will automatically teach control in other areas... To help others also helps maintain your own control, and will inspire others...

You can automatically choose good friends through the use of your abilities... Don’t bother now with thoughts of the origins of your abilities... Avoid cultism. Also don’t let your imagination follow along the lines of possession... Fear of this creates a state in which a semblance of that can be caused. Most cases of possession are not caused by spirits... although it does exist in those terms... usually caused by those who request it or are too lazy to live their own lives within ... Such people then issue a blank invite to control the body they no longer wish to control.

But I wanted to clarify some points... (Previously, Eve had wondered how Seth felt about her, so Seth turned to her.) You are a delightful young lady... (He advised her to assert herself more, to be less cautious in going after goals. He said she should use her “abilities” —though he was not specific.) And you will. You will.
