“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your ego is now focused within this reality. You have other egos focused in other realities. The inner self is aware of what is being done in all of these realities. There is some compensation, and the race knows this. Ruburt wrote that there were clumps of consciousness, and of course he is correct. You are a part of many such clumps of consciousness. The abilities and potentials are not only being developed in this system but in others.

Both Ruburt’s new experiments in class, and his affair with the hands represent growing receptivity and willingness on his part. In many ways the hand episode was the result of class work. Some of the experiments in class gave him confidence, and I gave him confidence and a challenge. The challenge was important. I appeared in class and he did not see me, and his friend did. And he knows why.

Therefore he made the inner decision. Before, he was afraid to see psychic events. Now this was no coincidence. He has poor eyes, because he did not want to see physical events. He did not use vision strongly as an aid, not strongly, say, comparatively speaking. He was poor in forming clear mental images, even as he was poor at seeing physical events.

Therefore with the development of the psychic experience he carried through in the same manner. It was a habit of perception. He did not want to see his mother clearly. He was frightened, hence the pattern developed. He suddenly realized that there was an advantage to be gained here, and he wanted to see immediately after his friend saw my image.

Now. (Pause.) The hand experience was legitimate. The visual impression objectified it for him. Before, he would not have allowed this. The difficulty will be one of circulation in the limbs and hands, and are already—the symptoms are already—felt by the woman in question.

Give us a moment. (Pause.) I will speak to our Aerofranz when he comes to visit. For now there are simply some errors he has made, both in expecting too much on the one hand, and not expecting enough on the other. You know about the psychological bridge that is necessary for communications. He and his Adam are beginning to build it. Work is needed on both of their parts in that he is himself pushing for predictions, —whether he realizes this or not, and trying to bring more “across” in quotes, than the bridge can carry. On the other hand there is not enough regular (underlined) application on his part, but spasmodic activity.

There can be an overstimulation on Aerofranz’s part however, when he attempts to use Adam to help others at this point. Do you follow there?

Adam can and will contribute too and strengthen Aerofranz’s own personality and characteristics. He can help Aerofranz develop himself. He is no threat to Aerofranz’s own personality but Aerofranz should not call upon him to help others until the psychological bridge of which I have spoken has a stronger foundation. In his desire to help others Aerofranz then can demand too much of Adam under present circumstances.

This overstimulates Aerofranz so that he tries to use his nervous energy, it is not that Adam cannot help. It is that the communicating bridge between them must be completed. Then firm results will appear.

(11:00. Jane had been “far-out,” she said. Seth could have continued indefinitely. “He’s got all kinds of energy.” But Jane was tired; the session ended rather abruptly. She remembered little of the material.)
