“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The following material is from the 830th session. Break came at 10:25, after Seth had delivered material for his book on the mass psyche. The notes that follow were written during that break, and would usually be presented with the regular session; however, since they’re more personal than usual, they’re given below instead. Jane’s quotations in them do apply, however, to material Seth had given as dictation for Psyche.)

Your experience concerning Jack Wall (on March 23, 1978) was quite legitimate, although it happened some time ago, in your terms (a point I’d wondered about). It was triggered by your associations immediately previous. In a way, Jack found it inconceivable that he should die. He wondered at first why Elizabeth did not perceive him, and he remained unconscious of his own funeral. He did perceive such a light (as I sensed)—the light of understanding.

Now give us a moment.... You should both read tonight’s session, book dictation, with Ruburt’s situation in mind. You have tried to maintain stability while you work, and have schooled yourselves so that it is not disrupted. You are still both afraid—Ruburt primarily, of course—of really trying for fear you will be disappointed, and worried at the disruptions that might occur—again, Ruburt primarily. Most of all, however, he has identified of late with what he thinks of as his failure.

You tell yourself you have little control over his actions, or that your feelings make little difference in the face of his actions, but that is the other side of the same coin. He begins with the pendulum and drops it, but neither do you encourage him to persist.
