“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I think that some of the material in tonight’s session is a reflection, or answer, to an article that Jane read this afternoon, in the British Journal for Psychical Research, September 1977. The piece was written by John Beloff: Psi Phenomena: Causal Versus Acausal Interpretation. Beloff is one to whom I want to send a copy of “Unknown” Reality when we receive copies from Prentice-Hall.

(Theodore Reff, a professor of art history at Columbia University, to whom I sent a copy of Cézanne not long ago, sent us his acknowledgment this week, although he has yet to read the book. I told Jane that I was somewhat surprised to hear from him so quickly, and by his evident interest.

(Jane was again very relaxed before the session. Her improvements continue, although earlier this week both of us fell off our newfound faith in faith to some degree.)

This is difficult to explain. Give us a moment.... It is not just that the universe knows you as you, but that you carry within yourself a knowledge of the universe also, and an innate, intimate, though unconscious, feeling of relationship, and a certain sense of identity with that cosmic heritage. In a manner of speaking, again underlined, and in the terms of this discussion, you bear a correspondence with portions of the universe that you will never visit personally, physically. You carry within you the innate knowledge of other galaxies from which your earth was born.

Ruburt’s desire to walk properly and see normally is his own, yet it is also the desire of that greater nature from which his existence springs. He is beginning to release that desire, after being afraid of doing so for fear that his full attempts would not work. In your present circumstances, it was more or less inevitable, generally speaking, that when he began to release that desire, the fears that had earlier impeded its release would also come to the fore.

Ruburt’s playing with the cat was of great benefit. Your Tom and Jerry shows are another. A good drama on television helps. Riding is excellent now. You need, both of you, that change of scenery, and familiarity with the countryside, and touch of your world’s bustle. Driving downtown is stimulating to Ruburt, but he should not feel out of it at such times, or concentrate upon the comparison between his present and the desired state. Have him tell you his fantasy today of the motel, and his thoughts about it. You must begin to change your mode of thinking, but it will automatically change as you remember what I said about creativity, and stop worrying, both of you. Creative thought is the mode of thought that most clearly approximates Framework 2’s mode of organization, and the nature of the universe.
