“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Our friend here (John) spoke of communications, and their effect upon you. Here you will find an almost instantaneous system of communications. The individual will find himself surrounded by more stimuli than he knows what to do with—but using this as impetus he will learn to handle it, using portions of the brain that now lie latent.

There have been changes through your ages that have given birth to enlarged or expanded consciousness. The oversaturation of your atmosphere that will be brought about as a result of overpopulation, the increased psychic activity, the greater communications, will have the result further of pressing inward upon the individual until he is forced to find a new way to handle stimuli, and to respond to events.

Because of some of mankind’s curious characteristics, often it does not change unless his life depends upon it, unless survival is threatened. He will be forced to recognize, use and develop his paranormal abilities simply to survive, and in so doing will release them finally for his own benefit and the benefit of his fellows.

Initially fear will be the impetus. He will want to know what is going on in his neighbor’s head so badly that he will realize he already knows. When the transformation is completed mankind will be operating at an entirely different level than you now know.

A man with glasses and a scar, or a scar connected with the name, is retreating. Either he is getting weaker in position, is stepping out, or is dying. In any case he will be replaced by a man with white or whitish blonde hair—light hair, initially from the Midwest, and he may have an accent. He has heard of John, our Philip here, and met him at a meeting or conference, perhaps in 1964.

(After the session John told us that he has informally been approached to work for a rival drug concern—Abbott, recently.)
