“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was held to obtains answers to two questions we had for Seth. Both pertained to Jane’s book on the Seth material, which she is just finishing. One question had to do with the oil showing two male heads which I painted in 1965. The other concerned the envelope test held in the 300th session. Jane is dealing with both of these points in Chapter Eight of her book.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(This, then, was the question. The envelope object for the test in question was a piece torn from a hidden page of The New York Times. The piece was small in relation to the page, which I did not see. [Hiding it in the studio while my eyes were closed, etc.] Yet when Seth, through Jane, gave the test results, much accurate data was given concerning the full page that lay in the back room, as well as the actual small envelope object in Jane’s hand during the session. We wanted to know how such a thing was possible.)

The portrait is of Joseph and Ruburt. These are not portraits of yourselves as past personalities in your terms, or of particular reincarnational selves. They are pictorial representatives of the whole selves that you are. In your terms the selves that are the sum of your reincarnational personalities. These whole selves then are a part of your entity. Your probable selves are also a part of your entity, however. If you want to think in terms of guides, in quotes “angels,” then you have the reality behind those terms. Ruburt and Joseph are the names I use for you, for these names themselves imply your greater goals. These personalities are aware of your present existence, and give you advice when you are in the sleep state. They are a source of strength. You can draw upon their knowledge, and you can also draw upon the knowledge of your own reincarnational selves, “past,” in quotes, and “future.”

(By this I meant to ask Seth if he planned to dictate a chapter, or at least a few pages, for Jane’s book on the material. Jane and I have talked about this before. But it can be seen that Seth doesn’t directly answer the question.)

(We found Seth’s data tonight on Jane’s reaction to tests very interesting. I talked about cases we had read about, where hypnosis was used to get the subject to focus only upon the test item, ignoring any other data even if relevant. The discussion veered around to our wondering how Jane would do under such conditions, when Seth abruptly resumed at 9:50.)

(Jane said she didn’t really want to speak for Seth’s entity tonight, if that’s what she was trying to do, so I suggested she break it off. Jane said “things were significant in the room,” a phrase she has used before when preparing to speak for Seth’s entity, or Seth II as we sometimes call “him.”)
