“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

My friend here, Ruburt, is my mouth, and speaks for me. You may at some time be in communication with others. I will never speak through anyone other than Ruburt, simply because there must never be any doubt of the origin of the Seth material.

A very good sense of rhythm (pause), but a great difficulty in communicating with words, a verbal incapacity. You could compensate for this however strongly enough (pause), in your occupation, in that when words were mixed with music you followed the rhythm and could speak clearly and well.

In conversation you stumbled and gave the impression of being stupid. Nor could you communicate with the townspeople. The verbal facility came easily in song, and so you wandered, singing, from town to town, using for your songs the news that was happening . Stories of events, a musical newscaster.

In relationships with other people you did very poorly however because of the lack of verbal communication. You did very well in a group with music, but not individually.

We cannot give you all this in one afternoon, for I wander like a minstrel through your own past. In a life just previous to that one however, you were a woman with a bitter tongue, who spoke too often and too harshly, and so you set yourself among other things the task, in the Irish life, of speaking only to music. This is highly simplified of course, there were other reasons, but in singing you were not harsh, and in singing you communicated in a way that you could not in the earlier life, and in the singing also you gave of yourself in a way you did not earlier.

(On this visit also Tam read the 418th session, of June 24, 1968. In this session were perhaps a page and a half of Seth’s clairvoyant data re Tam and Miss Carr. This was given before any of us had met, and when any kind of communication between Jane and Tam was just beginning. Tam was able to verify quite a lot of the data; some of it referring to Miss Carr was good. The last name of Cecile Grossman, an editor at Prentice-Hall, was mentioned by Seth, for instance. Tam noted the correct data in the 418th session, so this material has now been checked at least once.
