“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The time makes little difference. Earlier, you were beginning to put yourself in that frame of mind, and physiological state, which would bring about the particular changes that bring you to the eye method. This time, however, you were aware of what you were trying to do: you were trying to use your ability in a particular fashion and so you did. You were dealing with an energy source, and it was this that you were trying to perceive, and the reason for the brilliance and also the concentrated area with which you were dealing; not an expansion, but a small concentrated brilliant area.

(To me:) Now, you remember, because of one of your experiences and something I said in a session—or, rather, another portion of me said in a session —having to do with the fact that Seth II, if you could perceive him, would be as small as a brown nut. (To Rob:) And so you were perceiving a core of energy that radiated outward and infringed upon this reality—intruded upon it: hence, the fragmented area about it, you see, and the seemingly jagged effect.

You began the physiological procedure at approximately four o’clock yesterday afternoon. Now, Ruburt also knew what was going to happen and that you would be involved, simply because the eye effect frightens him and he is always aware ahead of time of such activities on your part. You are all Sumari.

Now, the energy that was here last night became suspended for a time between the two apartments so that there was a give-and-take. Had you been even more aware, for example, it would have been fairly easy for you to perceive more than you did, and you could have done it through sketching. You could have brought out forms that were here beneath your visual perception.

In this case, you would have received the information now or later; it was yours, you would receive it. Because of the circumstances, however, and the two family deaths, the information was available, and used to remind all the class members of the different kind of familyship, a different kind of endeavor, and to offer a different kind of assurance and bonds that are not destroyed in your terms by any amount of reincarnation or any amount of time you use them.

Now. Let us speak about the Sumari. Ruburt does not like the idea of brotherhoods, alive or dead, so I should not use that phrase. So we will say that the Sumari are a guild. In much earlier times, they would be a royal guild, in that they are the richest, the most expansive. They have indeed, on their own, begun civilizations. They have a large membership. It is impossible to speak to you in terms of membership, however, for the idea of individuality is not clear with you yet, and you would think in terms of how many individuals.

(“I don’t think Ruburt would object if you used some other term,” Rob said.)

(“Would Seth II fit in that group?” Rob asked.

(Humorously:) Would Seth II fit in which group?

You are being recognized, in your terms, as your present personalities by your guild again. The conscious self was not told, you see. You are now ready to take up conscious membership. It is only a way to acquaint your conscious self with your real and deep alliances. The information would have made little sense some years ago.

In any way, through the publication, and whether or not such a manuscript would allow us to do so in any more efficient way than we will anyway, is another point. It may. It would take some time, and also it would require that I clear the issue myself with several people of my own acquaintanceship.

(“It would take several years, then.”)

It would indeed. And perhaps longer. Ruburt might need, for example, a rest or a different kind of material in between. However, it could not have taken place had the experience last evening not taken place. He would not have been ready.

(“Would you get this information yourself, or would you get it through speakers?” Rob asked.)

This would be a combined activity. It would take far too much effort on my part, for example, away from other endeavors to do that particular thing alone. I would oversee it.
