“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.

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

(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.

(Therefore, beginning at the next paragraph, the rest of the session is a verbatim transcript from tape. The session is much longer than usual, since Seth didn’t have to go slow for my note-taking, but could plunge ahead. RFB.)

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.

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.

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?

To a large extent, as he is now he has arisen out of you. Now he can indeed disappear back into you at this point, and with little care on your part. He would not disappear as an inner awareness. He would exist within your psyche as a small but definite organization of characteristics that would continue within themselves to retain a sense of identity. He would also for continue his protective devices for your own physical body. You would not overly miss him if he did this at this time.

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?

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

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.

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.)

I am not trying to rob him of his own sterling nature. but beyond those qualities which you recognize, you intuitively sense other qualities and it is these of which I am speaking.

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.)

On our young bride’s part... a spontaneity in passivity. Allowed to be passive you feel free to be spontaneous. Passivity, however, should be balanced on your part by more assertive action as far as habitual reactions are concerned. Some of this assertiveness can be met through artwork but it must be a going- out from self: a self-assertion, an expression of self—but directed then outward.

When the process is finally over you will be two steps ahead of where you are now, and two steps along this way. You will not directly be connected with the same department, but someway two steps away from it, but you will also be two steps higher. Now one of these shifts may also concern a young man, he will either suddenly leave or it will be a young man suddenly arriving on the scene. I get a T initial here. And in the background the name of Tom, or a last name, Thomas.

(Loud:) The energy that sweeps down through this frame is but a small shadow of the energy that is at my command and at your command. This energy can be translated into knowledge, and when it is translated into knowledge it must also be translated into behavior, then it becomes a psychic adventure. Then you begin to use your consciousness as you should use it.

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.
