“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session tonight Jane and I discussed the excellent manner in which Seth was able to relate to the various people who have witnessed sessions. This ability escaped us for some time, until we finally realized the various approaches used by Seth to make the material given meaningful to the very different personalities involved.)

(Long pause.) Now, our friend Aerofranz (Tam Mossman, of Prentice-Hall) is indeed progressing. (Small smile.) The extent and potential of his healing abilities are considerable. It is therefore all the more important that he always try (pause), to use discipline and caution, that he think in terms of helping other individuals, and that he not glorify his own position egotistically, thinking, “Since I can heal you, I am therefore superior to you,” even though the idea is partially hidden from his own consciousness, and even though he feels kindly—put in here that I smiled—while feeling so superior.

His abilities are considerable in the healing line, and again for this reason it is extremely important that he is understanding of himself as well as others. His ego is (underlined) a kind one, but the structure of any ego is such that it considers, or can consider easily, psychic ability as a sign of its own power; or feel possessive of the ability, and overly proud of it, even when it knows it originates in other layers of the self. We want our friend to have a strong and healthy overall personality balance, for this will allow him to use his abilities well, and then the abilities themselves will further add to his own development.

I would like him to keep Ruburt informed. I do not suggest that he do such writing (automatic writing) more than twice a week for now at the most, however. Ability always demands responsibility. I know that he knows this, and I do indeed commend him. I do not want his abilities to run away with him however.

I do not mean to speak as if there were any great danger involved. It is only that I want him to progress at a steady rate, with the overall personality in good balance all the while. The personality must learn to understand and use the abilities.

Now, I will be glad to set up for you a definite program, geared to you specifically, toward the release and use of your psychic abilities whenever you are ready to take some session time to do so.
