“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Today Jane has been really “out of it.” She’s felt a lot of muscular discomfort with her physical improvements, though, making it hard to concentrate. By 8:30, when she’d finished doing the dishes, the overall soreness had dissipated to some degree, but she appeared to be so groggy with relaxation that I hardly expected her to want to have a session. She yawned again and again. At 8:40 she surprised me by calling out from the living room — I sat reading a magazine at the kitchen table — that she’d try to have a short session. “I feel something about religion. …”

(Jane’s delivery for Seth seemed to be the same as ever, except that she took longer pauses between sentences — almost as though she waited a bit each time to gather the impetus to deal with her very relaxed physical state. But the material is excellent, as usual, and I will be working with it while doing the note for Mass Events.)

Jewish shepherds represented the placenta that was meant to be discarded, for it was Jewish tradition that nourished the new religion in its early stages before its birth. Christ, as you know, was a common name, so when I say that there was a man named Christ involved in those events (see Seth Speaks), I do not mean to say that he was the biblical Christ. His life was one of those lives that were finally used to compose the composite image of the biblical Christ.

There is nothing that happened in those times that is not happening now in your own: You have numberless gurus, people who seemingly perform miracles (and some do). So there were in those days some rather disconnected events that served as the focus point for great psychic activity: People wanted to believe, and their belief changed the course of history. It doesn’t matter that the events never happened — the belief happened. And the belief was man’s response to (long pause) intuitional knowledge, to inner knowing, and to spiritual comprehension.

(Pause.) Now: Ruburt is progressing very well, and with your help, and both of you should become more and more aware of the natural persons that you are. Do you have a question?

(“Well,” I said, “maybe he would have if I’d encouraged him to do so too.”
