“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

And we will have a quiet session, after our last extravaganza. There are several points I would like to make. We have a lot of work still cut out for us, but you will find that it will be handled very easily—almost automatically, requiring little notes but ordinary transcription.

(To me:)You are stubborn. Your own thoughts wore you out. You needed to let down, and you would not do it. You could not take a vacation, you felt. You worried about time and your painting and “Unknown” Reality, and you would not relax. You worried about other issues that I told you about—taxes and money. You not only worried about the present, but you dwelled upon the “past mistakes.” You remembered doing Ruburt’s Dialogues drawings, and Adventures diagrams, and those thoughts crowded your present. To some extent, it is quite valid to say—though you may not agree with me—that you might as well have had all that work to do now as well.

At the same time, you could not enjoy such enforced idleness—far be it from that—so the period was highly unpleasant. This was to help you save face: you didn’t take time out because you wanted to, but because you were so miserable that you could not work—and then yelled out in outrage that the body so betrayed you. The body’s resiliency gave you the breathing space that you needed, and would not take consciously. It was responsive to your own desires and needs, where you consciously were not.

At the same time however other issues were served, already mentioned. You understood what Ruburt had been working through—at a much lighter level, of course, and at least to some degree Ruburt could feel that he was helping you physically. You also together solved the other problems mentioned, where he did not panic, as he might have in the past, but continued his own improvement.

Ruburt is not going to be satisfied with such a state, however, nor would you, for in your society it does not work that way. You are concerned with cosmetics. Ideally, Ruburt can regenerate the gums overnight. Practically, the gums are being regenerated, as the rest of his body definitely is. If he does not have his teeth out, he will probably lose two more that are very loose—but not for one or two years. By that time the rest of the teeth will be solid enough to stay in his head, and be operative. One tooth is in the back and probably would not bother him, since no one can see it anyhow. The other would be noticeable. That is your answer—

Your visitor believes that these children who can also move objects (and who work with AP) are unique, and a new breed—but any children of past generations who realized that such feats were possible, and desirable, could do the same thing. Your point about the footraces is well taken in that context—the mile run. (I’d explained to Jane the psychological barrier that had existed for so many years about the impossibility of a human running the mile in four minutes. But once one man had done it, many, many others have in recent years.)

Some scientists and people in parapsychology will learn of our work through your friend because of his travels. He is a friend of yours, though you met him but once—yet in your work as always keep your counsel. My heartiest regards and a fond good evening. I will not begin dictation this evening, but hopefully we will begin again in our next session.
