“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This a long session, given for Tam Mossman and Eve Naudain, of Prentice-Hall and New York City. It began at approximately the time noted above, and continued through most of the afternoon.

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.

...Exercises in recent sessions are good if not overdone. (A reference to projections.) You shouldn’t do these however until you have tried the water exercise at least 30 or 35 times.

A moment. (Pause. Then to Eve:) This will have to be filled in later. Ireland—you were an Irish lass, and a minstrel. Now I do not know offhand when St. Patrick was roaming—at a time however before Christianity was introduced—you lived in the country now called Ireland... before the Christian Era...as a man given much to wandering and without a permanent abode.

You were also highly involved with what was going on in the country at the time, where in the life immediately previous you cared little for any but your immediate family, and rarely moved beyond your house. In the Irish life therefore you chose to roam freely and to inform others as to the happenings of the time.

You had no children in this Irish existence. You often perceived clairvoyant information without knowing it, giving the news ahead of time, and then being surprised yourself when the events did indeed come to pass.

The helper now is a woman. This is not clear, we will see what we can do, and if we do not get it clearly we shall at a later time. The woman’s name now has a strong R sound. Such as is the word star... R...

There may now be a blood relationship, though it is distant rather than immediate. At that time this woman was also a male, and also known to you in the lifetime immediately previous, and as a man.

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.)

(I ran an errand to the store not long after this. When I returned Jane and Tam informed me that Seth had come through again. This time the material concerned, among other things, plants and thoughts; Tam being very interested in plants and related subjects. Since we have no notes on this material, Tam said he would send us a brief resume of this last delivery, to include with these notes.

([Tam’s Notes:]The following represents a spontaneous session that occurred after Seth had been kind enough to come through three times for Eve and myself. Robert Butts had gone out for a while, and Jane, Eve, and I were chatting. I could feel Seth’s vague presence in the room, which Eve apparently didn’t. Jane went into the kitchen to see about the chicken she was cooking and — as she later told us— felt Seth coming through and hurried to get back to her chair.
