“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. There are several points in particular that I want to discuss with you. Not my book, but points concerning your own relationship with Adam. Give me a moment.

Now. You may continue at the same level of communication with your friend Adam, or you may go beyond that level into a still greater reality. You have created your version of Adam... The version that you have created knows that you have created him. Do you follow me?

...but you have not created the personality behind Adam...

You are beginning to form this psychological bridge. Now when you form it you do so with the inner realization that it reaches from you outward and you expect something to be on the other side, or the bridge would be useless. Do not, however, identify the bridge with what waits on the other side. The bridge is a living psychological bridge because in this type of communication feelings and emotions are involved. A steel bridge would get you nowhere. You are weaving threads of psychic energy, insights, and realizations, and also certain personality characteristics to form this bridge outward. Now you are beginning at your end and in doing so you form the initial version of your Adam. As this, Adam is highly legitimate and an aid.

Now taking our analogy of a long bridge, you are now here. (Seth-Jane gestures indicating Tam’s end of the imaginary bridge.) So with your Adam you must either take him and form the rest of your bridge, with the joy of adventure, not always knowing who may be at the other end, forming their own structure; or play around with the Adam version in which case you will get no further than you are. I am not telling you to do one thing or the other. I am merely pointing out the possibilities.

Now: the personality on the other end of the bridge will be the reality behind Adam.

([Tam:] “Then Adam was one step in that direction as a result of that exercise?”)

And also you see, because you are forming this version of Adam from your end, he does not understand his reality.

([Tam:] “As a child? As you know, Adam claims that he was born in my infancy.”)

A certain portion of Adam was: the version was... you had a body consciousness of a protective nature, but this was only one portion of an entire personality who has yet to appear. Now there is a reason for the bridge framework. The bridge framework takes exercise, understanding, and knowledge on both of your parts, therefore there would be no communication of a strong valid nature until your personality is able to maintain it, for the bridge will not be strong enough to hold. Otherwise there would be too many implications and personality difficulties that could arise.

There are sessions dealing with these psychological bridge communications and it would be helpful if you read them. I want you to realize, however, the validity of the personality behind Adam, and the validity of Adam in relationship to you and to that personality.

Now: For these reasons I have not wanted you to put too much strain upon Adam, to expect him to be this other personality, or to berate him by comparing him to such another personality. For again, he is your version of this, and he is a way. He will lead you there, if that is where you want to go.

But also Adam will have changed, at this point. He will be drawing energy from this other personality. He will be able to do more. But he will still be your version. Later if the process is continued, you will make valid contact with the personality for whom Adam now stands. This personality will then speak, communicate through Adam. Adam will then take on the characteristics of that other personality. He will still not be that personality. He will indeed be the psychological bridge, the psychological framework, structure and image through which that personality can communicate. Do you follow me?

Selves that ascend like stairs... yet in order to speak to you intelligently I must use this image at times. Therefore when I tell you that this other personality behind Adam may be a future self of your own, I am in no way telling you that this personality is a part of your personality structure as you think of it, or as your psychologists think of it.

I wanted to clear some of these issues for you. (Directed to Tam again.) I believe you have been brooding about some of them. I also feel you have used Adam as a whipping boy and that is not a very kindly thing to do. (Smile.

(Tam: Was it correct, the information I got from Adam where we were related in past lives?”)

Give me a moment. I believe that the information was correct as far as Adam knows of it. I will have to check. There is a thirty-year difference in birth dates. I will let you know and Ruburt can give us the information... I believe I am with the wrong side of the family (pause). I am not sure here but we do seem to have an uncle. Now this is supplementing the material given by Adam. We have an uncle who deals with vestments...if the term is vestments, having to do with the making of garments of a ceremonial nature.

I have several suggestions as always. Our new bride here is not so worried about psychic phenomena. She is only worried about Adam. This will pass in time. She needs a part to play: something in which you can participate, and develop yourself (directly to Eve). You would do well to try experiments in the out-of-body state. You have your own abilities to develop. You do not have to be an Eve to Adam.

I go rummaging through my own acquaintanceship with artists for his benefit, and I pass some of this on to you. There is a native spontaneity here, in our lady, that deals well with transparent color, that relates clearly and simply. And I believe she has been worried about what she may consider in the back of her mind as Adam’s murky quality. I hope we are clearing that up in this session. She has also picked up your thoughts toward Adam (to Tam) and to some extent been influenced by them. If you have ever felt threatened by Adam then she would feel this threat doubly. Do you follow me?

Now, he would remain the individual that he is, as much as anyone ever remains the individual that he is. He would not turn into Adam. I would make a comment here, but I would not.

I would see nothing wrong, myself, with the transformation. Now: to some degree you see you are intuitively aware of Adam’s true nature (to Eve here), and on an intuitive basis you even relate to the Adam you sense within Aerofranz, but you do not realize when you are doing this. Adam in this respect would be the superior qualities that you sometimes sense in him, the Aerofranz that you know... This does not mean that Aerofranz on his own does not have superior qualities. (Humorously.)
