“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Despite the beliefs and teachings of religion and psychology, impulses are biological and psychic directional signals, meant to nudge the individual toward his/her greatest opportunities for expression and development privately—and also to insure the person’s contribution to mass social reality.”

(Then Jane received the following material from Seth through writing, which in itself is quite unusual. I was painting, or mowing grass. Either way, here’s what she wrote down:

(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.

There is something I want to tell both of you, and I hope you can see what I am trying to say. Ruburt does not need to apologize to anyone for his less-than-perfect physical condition, nor feel that his physical lack of mobility—relatively speaking—casts aspersions on the sessions or on our work. Nor need he feel that in contrast to our material his physical performance is woefully inadequate. The wording of that last sentence is important, for obviously his condition is inadequate—but he owes no one an apology in that regard.

Give us a moment.... I have never wanted to dwell negatively on what might have happened in terms of probabilities, and have mentioned it very briefly only—but Ruburt’s psychic initiation, and your own, represented a breakthrough of the most important kind in this life, and automatically shunted aside, for good, many other serious difficulties that otherwise could have occurred.

That challenge was difficult, but offered, and still does offer the opportunity for a kind of personal exploration of reality to which few have access. In certain terms, such new understanding can also bring its own stresses and strains, simply because such individuals must of necessity find themselves ahead of their times, and in a different position than they were in before with their normal accepted reality.

You should use both events to learn from them. What you do is not as important as your attitudes toward your decisions. Fears are understandable. They are natural, but it is not natural to be ruled by fears.
