“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pat Norelli, Claire Crittenden, and Carl Watkins ate supper with Jane and me the next night, Saturday, Nov. 25. The supper, spaghetti, was a heavy one, but all of us felt a lassitude other than that possibly caused by a heavy meal. We speculated about the lack of energy for earlier in the week we had planned to go dancing Saturday night .

(Later in the night the five of us stood around the heavy library table in my studio. We have wanted to try moving this table for some time. We felt vibrations in the table at times as we kept trying, but no other movements were obtained.)

You learn to take advantage of the crests. Psychically you are still in that ebb, but the energy is there. Do you understand?

I am the mentor in all of this, pointing out the implications and the lessons to be gained. As a rule, (underlined) I leave these practical lessons to others, for the mental considerations have always intrigued me more. On occasion I will assist you, but I will assist you far more through our sessions. And by carrying through in other aspects of your education.

Ruburt’s clairvoyant abilities need farther development, and I will help here, for instance. Much of your own energy has been used in the situation involving yourself and Ruburt and your joint problems. His energy is now, incidentally, normal— that is, his energy is at the point where it was, but now its emergence will not be blocked as it was at that point, just before his symptoms.

(Smile.) I will write such a book for Ruburt, but this is for your future. It will be a famous book, and it will help many.

(9:47. Jane reported that she was pretty well dissociated, but recalled the last few sentences with a smile. I suggested some titles for the book: “Sethenetics,” “Sethgestions,” etc. Added later: Seth Speaks, in 1972. Resume at 9:55.)

Now listen. Because of his background with his mother he had built up in defense a strong dislike, not merely for illness, for this (Jane, eyes open wide, pointed at me for emphasis), is beneficial, but a strong dislike (pause) that amounted almost (underlined) to hatred, for anyone who was sick, particularly crippled in any way, or hampered in motion.

Earlier, he had no understanding nor feeling for the weaknesses of others. He would never imagine himself in their place. Do not mistake me. It is not good to imagine yourself ill, but it is not good to condemn the person who is ill, for that reason.

Again, he was too terrified. He will completely recover, and then his story will have meaning. You both knew this. You had your own time of it, partially for the same reason, but he had to face the depths of his own terror, and rise and walk away from it, if he were ever to help others do the same.

(Pause.) The material just given also helps to explain, you see, the dark emotional depths he traveled, for he followed this very far, spiritually to the depths, and then began his way out. I was a light, but I did not want to help him too much or I would have hampered him. Do you see?

My heartiest wishes to you both. It is good for him to sleep without a pillow for a while. The personal contact last evening was good for you both. Your hands upon him— this is of benefit, and to some extent you can direct healing energy to him in this manner. Keep this in mind when there is such physical contact. This is of more benefit now than it would have been in the past, and I recommend it. I did not suggest it in the past because your own inner feelings were so confused. You could have done more harm than good, but that is over. There is a healthy interchange of energy now between you both. This is merely an impression: have Ruburt send the poetry book to a company beginning with a V or an L.

(“Good night, Seth.” Jane seemingly ended at 10:35, but at 10:37:)
