“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We also discussed a letter Jane had received today from a young man who’d visited us unannounced a couple of months ago; he thinks he’s being bugged by nasty voices from outer space; before that he’d insisted that Seth was speaking through him. He still refuses to consider that his problem is a psychological one, instead of disembodied, outside evil voices picking on him. I’d felt badly about his visit, since we certainly accorded him a hostile reception, and evidently had accomplished little.

The material just given has also been given for that reason—for trusted, his mental life would blossom overnight. He became overly cautious because he thought he should be that way, though he was not by nature. He thought it was not mature or reasonable to trust people. He was afraid he was too vulnerable. He was afraid, too, of his own spontaneity, as I have so often said—when of course his spontaneity is the best insurance of protection, for the mind and body know when there is danger and when there is not. Forget then, both of you, imagined dangers of any kind, and all such projections.

(10:44 PM. Jane said she had “strong, definite feelings” about the material tonight, as if Seth was trying hard to reach her beneath usual levels of consciousness. She was very interested in reading the session when I had it typed. I told her I thought it was excellent. “I really felt it was great material, and that if you understood what it meant you’d understand a lot,” she said. “You know what I mean?”)
