“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The second event took place starting at 8:15 PM this evening. We were visited by a youngish couple from London, Canada. They too had knocked at our door earlier —while we were napping this afternoon. The knocking woke me up, but I saw them pulling out of the driveway so let them go. Jane and I ate supper with the lights off and the blinds drawn, but by the time she went to work Jane decided to turn on the lights in her writing room, and see them should they return. A most fortunate decision on her part.

(It wasn’t until after the Canadian couple had left us, actually, that the implications of what had happened began to sink in. I thought the odds alone staggering that it had happened at all. During their visit the woman, Carol, several times expressed the thought that she returned the second time, to see if we were home, because “it was meant to be,” or words to that effect. She also said that if we hadn’t been home, that was meant to be also. Carol had met an individual named Ron who had visited us here at 1730 two years or so ago—not long after we’d moved in, incidentally. Jane and I haven’t seen Miss Dineen except once soon after Miss Callahan’s death at least 10 years ago. Personally, I do not think I would know her if we met.

You have then two separate people living in different countries, completely unknown to each other, of different ages and backgrounds. In Framework 2 however, again, time and space are not barriers, and there are no impediments in usual terms. Laws of attraction operate in far too complicated ways to explain with any real preciseness. Emotional computations and associations occur there with incalculable rapidity. Data is sorted out, arranged and rearranged, as if associations were tabulated and retabulated under a million different headings.

(In a long conversation that Jane and I found hard to follow at times, Carol described how she’d put together elements from various philosophies and belief systems in order to get what she wanted. In some fashion, Jane and I thought as we listened to her, she was able to make it work for her. I kidded her, also, about “saying the heck with the details,” I remember.)

(10:28.) In terms of Ruburt’s flexibility, I always take your present level of practical comprehension into mind, for I know quite well that your reactions to what I say will vary according to your own situations at any given time.

In areas of conflict, you have to learn to do this consciously while in areas of success you have done it unconsciously all along. Many of Ruburt’s joints, particularly in the neck, feet, and knees, are loosening considerably. Their motion is all connected, of course. This causes the muscles to change, and in particular their tension is altered. When his weight is on his feet, when they are ready the joints and feet try new positions—that at the time they might not be able to maintain.

In its own way, the James connection happened in the same fashion, for your desires and beliefs go out in all directions in time. Your context outlive your deaths. The particular connections here are too complicated to try to explain, but they do involve James’s intense interest during his life in the future of his own work, and in the state of the psychic field of the future.

That network can be put together in different ways, and used now, in an analogy, as a communications system. All in all, it will mean that generally speaking you will keep in contact with areas of thought or development in which you were once interested, and will be able if you wish to follow their development in time.

Had he been living, he would have sought Ruburt out, you see, and they would have gotten along famously. You and James would also have been excellent friends. The three of you missed each other in time. In other frameworks, however, you are friends, hence Ruburt’s book, and your first attraction to James’s writings.
