“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: it is fruitless to go back to old sessions seeking to find out what is wrong, or what was wrong and self-defeating. It is an excellent idea to look at old sessions with a view toward picking up suggestions that I have given for constructive action, and following them.

(Interesting, that this afternoon, the 9th, we were visited by Marian Merrill. whom we haven’t talked with for perhaps a year. She dropped in for a visit, bringing a pudding cake and a Christmas card to her from an old friend-classmate of Marian’s; Marian had seen her friend last year for the first time in 15 years. On the card the feminine friend asked Marian to tell Jane that “the books” had changed her life for the better. Marian had laughed and said that now she’s going to read the books also, to see what had so moved her friend. Marian knows of the Seth thing.

Now these are psychological manipulations, but manipulations that work. You must also realize that I must deal with you as you think you are—that is, with both of you, and for that matter with the world at large. In my greater viewpoint I see your lives—many of them, and the emergence of overall patterns of achievement and challenge, and I hope that you will progress to your own visions of such realities—at least in dreams, for they will sustain you.

Now—end of session.
