“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

([Tam:] “Well, is the same one you mentioned as being on the waters in our previous exercise?”)

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.)

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.

This will be a very short session for you have had a week of it. You will have your trip ahead of you, and other trips that I have in store for you. There is one small point I want to mention. Ruburt visited your room one night. (To Eve.)

There are other portions of your personality that have knowledge that you can use. There are advantages and they are these: as you become acquainted with these other portions of your own identity, your own capacities for understanding and learning expand. In one lifetime’s work you can learn what it might otherwise take three reincarnations to learn. You are all involved basically with one thing. You are learning to use energy creatively. You are trying to discover how much energy you can direct, what you can create. You can discover these answers for yourselves. You cannot discover them through reading, you must look within yourselves and open your own doors. This is a joyful endeavor.
