“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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?

(Seth’s pace had been increasing, and my notes began to fall behind. Our recorder was set up in case we had to rely upon it, so I laid these notes aside and started up the recorder. While doing this of course I lost some material from Seth, but Tam and I agreed that Seth recapitulated any lost data during the rest of the session.

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.

However, at the other end there is something else, and there is no point in continuing to construct the bridge unless you intend to get on the other side. When you begin to get to the other side, continuing our analogy, and with good luck and perseverance there will be someone else on the other side constructing their own bridge to meet yours. This personality will form a bridge in the same way that you do. However the two will meet and merge. You will have a strong structure; you then can communicate. But the structure is not the other personality.

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: In your dreams the other personality can communicate and without the psychological bridge framework, but only in dream reality. When you are ready, you will be able to remember these encounters. I suggest therefore that you write them down in the morning. Over a period of time, you see, these will collect. You will be able to recall various messages and relate these to your own experience. Do you follow me?

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?

Good. I could not say this to you in a letter. Now, I do not like the term ascending selves. You follow me?

I do not like the term... one self higher or more developed than....

Now, I am glad you are giving the notes the boot. (Humorously, to RFB.) I will do anything but write the notes for you.

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.

Now: In your marriage and relationship your whole emotional climate has turned direction. Hers has changed direction, so that now you have the two together. So that in any psychic development or work that you do, you do not only have your own emotional strength or current, but another with you. As a result you have more potential, more leeway. Also, as a result anything that one of you do will have an effect on the other, and you will notice this in psychic work. When you are highly involved you will feel additional strength from your relationship. If there is any strong aversion, you will be doubly pulled away. Do you follow me?

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.

You can also find many connections between psychic activity and color and painting in which you are interested. Now I will tell you, you have never seen the colors of a rainbow unless you have seen them from an out-of-body state. If you want to see the colors of a flower, or my dear friends, of an apple, you must get out of your body to do so. Now you do not need to feel that his psychic abilities close you out, or that you do not have your own: or that his abilities will draw him away from you, for they would only bring him closer. Your own abilities are here to be used also, and in your own unique fashion.

You have never seen what design is until you see a spider’s web when you are out of the body. You have never seen what design is until you see a spider’s web from the spider’s viewpoint. Now you can learn to do this. You can use your psychic abilities, to throw your consciousness into the spider. Your body is a very handy mechanism and I do not suggest that you step out of it too long. However, as the earth’s atmosphere hides the conditions in the universe from your scientists, so also do the conditions of the body blind you to true color and design. Now you can develop in this way.

So do not feel that these abilities are his only or that you do not have a part, for you have your own abilities and you can use them for your own purposes. You can be partners in these endeavors, as you are partners in other endeavors. You need not lag behind. Give us a moment.

Now you have some latent inclinations of a musical nature as I mentioned earlier having to do with past-life experiences. Now simply in a spirit of fun, you see, you can use your abilities, and I will give you hints if you request them. You can use your abilities to hear the kind of music with which you were one time acquainted. This music is part of your experience though you have forgotten. Now: when you hear this music, in your mind try to translate it into color and design. And when you think of color, then, sense its motion.

Now the sound of the music will suggest colors to you and the colors themselves may appear in your mind as designs. Now all of this involves use of the inner senses, it involves an examination of the inner world. You must look inward with as much wonder as you look outward, and then the two worlds merge. Do you follow me?

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?

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.)

You can also yourself participate in another way. (To Eve.) You would do very well—I can see now, however, that this will not appeal to you and it is to some degree an unusual knack—but you would do very well in finding lost animals. You would have a knack... particularly in finding dogs. You would do very well also in dealing with animals where you cared for them and picked homes for them. On one level I can see this does not appeal to you. On another level, however, you would do very well. It is a knack from previous experiences, a knack you may never use. You may add it to your list of accomplishments. (Humorously.)

I do not see you often. I am trying to keep track of what I want to say to you both. The most important point I want to make, I have made. I did not want you to go dashing across the bridge until it was completed.

Place your emphasis upon being in this room, and the trip will take care of itself. You will be able I believe to do it now. (To Tam.) And you (to Eve) may be able to do it now. If you choose the proper circumstances and get the idea when the conditions are good, then you can do it now.

I simply want you to know that all kinds of energy and vitality are possible, that there are all kinds of possibilities for your own development, that there is energy available to you and you can tap it; and knowledge available that you can use. Such knowledge can be highly practical and in many instances, the dreamer is the most practical individual. You do not have to fear that this sort of experience will take you away from reality. It will show you a greater reality than you imagine.

It will enlarge your concepts, change your ideas of what is real and what is not real and what can be and what cannot be; and what you are and what you can be. You can both discover the greater identity that is your own, and step out of your own shadow image. For you identify yourself with a very small portion of your true identity. And when you use the word, I, you do not realize the I of which you speak.

And I want you both to know if you do not already know that the creativity and the joy and the wonder that is inherent in each consciousness is present not only in your minds and in your consciousness as you think of it, but also in the smallest cell within your fingertips.

You have no idea of how Ruburt could use this vitality if only he knew how to do so. Our friend has seen how this vitality can be translated into a hearty roar, or to fuel other furnaces and to make other connections, how it can be used as a fuel. There are always translations of energy. I am not saying good evening, but you may take your break.
