“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It is January 4 as I begin to type this session from notes. As of now we have so far mailed the letter to Eleanor re Rich Bed; phoned the ad about a house in to the Elmira paper; obtained the paint for Jane’s workroom; put up new curtains in her room; begun inquiries about the duplication of the letter for readers who write to Jane; packaged the first six chapters of Seth’s book to mail to Tam at Prentice-Hall tomorrow; begun to check the galleys for Oversoul Seven—all of these being items on the list we made out a couple of days ago. Another checklist will be included at the end of this session.

Now until Ruburt’s psychic experiences and the beginning of this expansion of consciousness and abilities, he was used to relying upon other levels of trust. He identified completely with his body. Afterward he could not identify with his body in the same way. A whole new orientation became necessary, and it did involve a time of stress.

The reasons given still apply, but all within this greater framework. The body’s needs to some extent even have changed. Now much of this would have frightened you both in the past, and could not have been given until you reached a particular point of development, and achieved a new status both separately and in your relationship.

(It also seemed that both of us had made the decision to confine the psychic work to sessions only, which I thought would at this time automatically shut down a lot of possible developments. I also felt there was a strong possibility the sessions themselves would go by the board unless Jane showed much improvement before too much more time passed. We believe we are committed to delivering Seth’s new book, but after that....

You kept insisting on trying to portray new vision by using methods that could not contain it, and did not spontaneously allow your visions to flow into their own forms. I will return to this later this evening. Give us a moment.

Old stray patterns of thought therefore, or depressions, became more readily materialized, as did more positive ones, to your way of thinking. Both positive and negative elements were more quickly creatively materialized. It is almost (underlined), at least symbolically, as if Ruburt were born at age 36 into a world with new rules, to which he had then to acclimate himself.

Now the two of you are growing together in new ways, in which your individual aspects are enhanced. But through this, or because of it, a greater joint energy becomes possible in which all the abilities of your consciousnesses expand. It will be a most illuminating year. Give us a moment.
