“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(After finishing the library material, Jane called The Village Voice on impulse, but ended up feeling she didn’t do well: She didn’t get to speak to Jim Poett, who was not there, or to his editor. She asked a friend of JP’s to have him send her tear sheets of his last two articles, which I thought an excellent idea. The friend, also a reporter, mentioned the Middle of Silence people to Jane, which she didn’t like, although she learned things. Jane also gave the reporter our phone number, which she regretted doing later. I said I thought it better that she did follow the impulse, though, since anything, any action, was probably better than sitting immobile.

(After supper this evening, Jane had a rather strong reaction, a new determination that had arisen from her encounters with the idea of impulse and inspiration. Making ready for the session, I discovered that she was quite vehemently going over and expressing [to some extent] what she’d learned today. She didn’t know whether she’d have a session or not. We talked about it all. She was “agitated, yet half-relaxed.” she said more than once. I thought it all a very good sign that some of our new thinking was beginning to take hold. Certainly the events were healthy and positive, compared to our earlier ways of thinking and reacting. I can’t describe Jane’s reactions too well from the observer’s viewpoint, except to approximate them here. Her stomach was queasy, she said, as it sometimes gets when she deals with very personal material that is also very accurate.

Such gifts he felt were quite odd presents indeed from the gods. Those who possessed such gifts knew it at once, but they must walk a cautious path while still allowing the abilities expression and insuring their development. The ideas about the creative personality are erroneous. They seem to be factual only in periods when the goals of a society do not fully include the arts or philosophies in the larger organizational structure of the community.

(10:41.) Give us a moment.... The material I gave this morning is especially important, and should be studied. The medication (a stronger aspirin) is all right for Ruburt. He is using it as an aid. The soreness that he experiences at times is a physical result of mental ideas, generally, that it will hurt to face the world, for example, and this new knowledge of impulses, and of his feelings, should help there.

That was important privately. But in your own searches you are literally leading millions of people, many who will never write you, and effectively inserting ideas into the society, that will in their time come to flower also.
