“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:14.) Many people are already beginning to alter their picture of the world, but they are afraid of trusting their own intuitions. Consider the lengthy letter from the young English gentleman. In a large measure, the world in which he now lives is a highly more enjoyable and productive one than it was before.

His experiences are entirely different than they would have been. In terms of probability, he took a new probable road, which means that his individual impact upon the world, and everyone he meets, will also be different and more creative than it would have been before.

Your neighbor, Joe, had pneumonia, or a cold, or the snivels (upon returning from Florida last week). To Margaret he had pneumonia, because she organizes reality in a certain fashion, and by slightly exaggerating certain data, she then uses it to reinforce certain beliefs. She then must take steps of course to protect herself against illness, and she is in fear of robbers for the same reason.

I am trying to induce Ruburt to drop his muscular armor. In the world of his experience he does not need it. His direct experience has not included it, the cruel adult world that he must protect himself against. It certainly does not include a frightening psychic world, actually or otherwise. Any fears he had there he picked up through reading, or through the reports of others, so let him also separate his private experience in that respect.

Hopefully, I am teaching you to reorganize your inner lives, so that you attract the best to yourselves from inner and outer reality. Your suggestions to Ruburt along psychic lines were excellent—that he do more energy experiments. His own intention to try out-of-body experiments again is also excellent because it shows a change of intent.

(11:18 PM. Jane’s trance delivery had marched right along through the evening. I thought the session an excellent one. I’m still surprised, I guess, that even after all his efforts, Seth can creatively come up with fresh approaches to try to help us—this time through our examining our worlds through our personal experiences. This may not be the first time he’s ever mentioned this approach, but still it’s presented tonight with a new twist. I can only partially put what I mean into words.

(For those reasons I got a charge out of the session. Yet at the same time in a way I feel sorry for Seth, for his unceasing efforts to help seem to usually fall on infertile ground. Perhaps his attempts to reach us are often like battering at a brick wall. Although I liked the ideas in the session, then, in another way I found it discouraging, for it’s also saying that after all this time we’re still left to struggle with the old challenges; it hardly seems that we’ve moved very far off dead center, I guess. I often wonder at the great difference between Seth’s thinking and ours, yet fully agree that the three of us are closely involved. Is it possible then that although we may be closely linked, we’re also quite separate in vital ways? This seemingly contradictory state of affairs may be the best evidence of all that Seth is truly what he says he is—“a personality energy essence, no longer focused in physical reality.”)
