“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause.) I am letting your hand rest a moment.

(“Yes.” Long pause, eyes closed.)

They, your parents, are done with each other, your mother being more honest than your father in this respect. (Long pause.) Her rage, you must understand, is the other face of life, vitality and love, and she will not give up her demands. She will try to shove him out, and he will cower before her strength. He always resented her vitality.

Her heavily applied, overly feminine characteristics, were donned by her to hold him in the early years. She had more strength than he. She pretended to be dominated by him, but both of them knew. (Pause.) He would have preferred daughters. She gave him sons hoping to pacify him, but he always felt that the sons challenged his vitality and position.

(Jane’s pace was now quite slow, with many long pauses, some up to a minute in length. Her eyes were often closed.)

There was no inner need nor purpose in its remaining. There were reasons why the two personalities, your mother and your father, met. These reasons on your father’s part were consummated. He did not feel that he could die. (Pause.) He left what she wanted. (Long pause.) She fears the presence of her husband’s other self, but does not know this consciously.

In each of her three sons she sees portions of the man she knew. (Long pause.) He will be reborn, and his abilities of inventiveness will play a large role in the 21st Century, where he shall be born in Egypt. (One minute pause.)

(Pause.) Your brother Dick was meant to be a female. He was to have been a little sister. Give us a moment. (Pause.) There will be a separation of the mother and the father. The father’s shell will feel pushed out initially, but then will find peace and contentment, for it is passive, and has been pushed to exhaustion. (My parents did end up separated)

Other elements of it will rejoin the main personality. It stayed as a counterbalancing influence in the family, for the sons’ sake. What is left will enjoy the sunlight and green grass, and be peaceful. (Pause.)

Your mother needs action, physical vigorous action. Your kind of life would drive her mad. She could destroy your other brother. For a while she will stay at home. (Pause.) Your father’s ghost or shell waits to be reunited with the other portions of itself. In the meantime it will roam through the old house, seeking what is lost, and finding recreated scenes that bring him peace.
