“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(For a while now Jane and I have been considering the question, aloud, of Seth’s availability to us whenever we choose to hold a session. This would take into account our physical time system, etc. We thought the question would have many ramifications. Note that I didn’t specifically ask that the question be discussed this evening.

(As is often the case Jane had no idea of what material would be dealt with this evening. Sue told us she had no specific questions. Jane began speaking in trance at quite a fast pace, eyes open often, etc.)

(Jane now began to gesture with her hands and arms.) It is as if there were two portions of a bridge, like a toll bridge or a drawbridge, and these two portions you see must meet. When you wish to contact me at other than appointed times, I may or may not be easily (underlined) available. Your own emotional need and impetus will however be made known to me. Therefore if that need is strong I would of course be here, even as you would not disregard the need of a friend. I am not automatically available however any more than you are.

(This is a different thing than Seth being available say at 8 AM, or noon, or other capricious hours we may choose. We have not conducted any tests to see if this is possible. We do know however that Seth would be available at any time under emotional stress, if we asked.)

For again, the medium is the message in the spacious present, and when- ever the time for the program arrives I am here in your present, regardless of where I am in what you would term my present.

Again, this does not imply that such a session is less legitimate than others. It simply means that I use what you would call time in a different way than you.

Now, some part of Ruburt is of course aware, for I would not intrude, and he has long since given his permission for such an arrangement. Nor, because you ask specific questions at a specific session, and I answer them, does it necessarily mean that the program has not been prepared, in your terms, earlier; for on many occasions I will see the questions within your mind, or the minds of your witnesses, and will therefore answer them, in your terms ahead of time.

Even on such occasions however I look in closely on the classroom to see how my pupils are behaving, and whether or not my message is coming across clearly; and I also learn. (Pause.) If you study this material closely, you will see that I have answered your question more clearly than you realize, and indeed in the only way that would make any sense at all.

I use certain facets of my personality, for they are helpful as a teacher. You know all of me that you are able to know, at any given time in your terms. (Pause.) It would be relatively (underlined)but certainly practically impossible, for me to make my full reality clear to you, now, in our sessions, for your understanding would not contain it.

Now you may take your break. We would not want to blow a tube.

You blamed yourself for financial reasons, though consciously this would be the last thing to come to your mind. You think of yourself quite free of financial conditions, and as an adult now in independent terms set yourself free of your parents. But subconsciously you wondered what social environment your child would really (underlined) encounter, and whether or not you deprived him of the social and economic benefits that you have convinced yourself, consciously, you do not need.

You also wondered about depriving your mother of a grandchild now, for though you tell yourself she would not understand, still you wonder if interest in the child would not give her additional impetus and interest.

You used to wonder what there was about her that so captivated your father, since he had an obvious preference for her, and you would watch her secretly, trying to find the answer. You disliked her heartily but the fascination kept at you, so that you studied her mannerisms, and even at times tried to copy them.
