“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

But we must still rely upon the mental structure of the person through whom we speak. This has disadvantages but without the method such communications would not be possible.

Seth, as you know him, is a medium through whom we speak, as Ruburt is a medium through whom Seth as you know him speaks. This is simplified, but basically an adequate explanation. (Pause. Jane’s upright, almost prim posture was unchanged.)

(Jane now recalled that just before she began speaking, she received the gently chiding thought—addressed to her from she knew not what source—that since “we” were going to so much trouble to get this material through to “you” [meaning Jane], that she shouldn’t be concerned about explaining it to others. That is, Jane shouldn’t worry about this. There was no disembodied internal voice speaking to Jane here; but a distinct thought, not angry or impatient, addressed to her in terms of “we” and “you.”

There are such lights throughout the entire universe, but this one is at your own apex point, to which your consciousnesses are attuned. You can see but dimly but some vision is better than no vision at all. When you are no longer blind, all possibilities that belong to the sighted (pause), come at least within your grasp. You are learning inner sight.

(A note: at times Jane’s head would shift or vibrate slightly from side to side. moving rather rapidly perhaps only half an inch. After a few repetitions the head would then be still again. This has been noted a few times before when Seth’s entity speaks. I neglected to ask Jane if she was aware of this movement, but do not believe she is because she hasn’t mentioned it.)

A light bulb in your terms cannot hold the light within itself, but when it receives the current then it must share its light with others. (Pause.) And it shines indiscriminately, and does not turn itself off for those who cannot read. It shines even upon the wood which has no eyes.

(Jane thought this was another break, but it proved to be the end of the session. She said she feels “distant” when she comes out of trance when the entity speaks; she seems to have to travel back to her physical body, to warm it up. She goes someplace, and we wondered about some kind of projection being involved. With Seth, Jane said, it’s the opposite; Seth “comes in,” and there’s no doubt about it.

(With the entity, contrasted to Seth’s immediacy, Jane feels she travels but doesn’t know where she goes. She feels distant from the voice, “like signals are far away from my mouth that does the talking.”

(At 10:20 Jane said she got a few bits and pieces of things, then said she thought the session was over—she “slid down.” She could say but little about what she had picked up: Since consciousness creates reality, reality is not independent of consciousness; but there was more here.

(Jane said she got up into the pyramid to some degree, but not high enough to make contact. Seth wasn’t involved in this, she said; she’d “know him in a minute.”
