“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I didn’t know exactly what Jane meant. Before the session she’d made remarks about it being significant. I agreed that it was but my interpretation of that significance wasn’t as positive as Seth’s, I’m afraid. I didn’t ask Jane what her interpretation of this significance was, by the way. But at first glance I thought a good case could be made for not opening the doors to psychic developments to begin with, going by the contents of this session so far.

(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....

(I thought at least that Jane could use the psychic awareness as intuition, etc., in her work, as everyone else did, do her “straight writing,” and let it go at that. At this time, in view of our own experiences, I seriously doubted that very many individuals in our reality were truly ready or equipped to handle such developments without a great struggle—chosen or no. There was, I felt, a great chance the struggle would get the best of them.

With the development of abilities however the importance of conscious thought became greater than before. The mind in one way was becoming more aware of reality, using greater energy and taking ever greater responsibility, which it did not bear to that degree before. The acceleration of mental creativity therefore meant that the creative energy of thoughts became ever greater in practical terms. Do you follow me?

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.

(“The whole thing’s unexpected by me,” she said. I wondered why it should be, and also thought that this was a way the sessions would try to protect themselves. But then, there was Seth’s book to be finished.... 11:20.)
