“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The upsetting alterations of consciousness occur mainly when Ruburt’s energies are being utilized elsewhere. On physical levels is then when he becomes most aware of the lack of his usual energy, or of available needed resources, which are so connected with thyroid activity.

After a fairly large meal (like we had tonight), for example, digestion begins. His available energy is therefore directed to that activity, and with the thyroid still in a defective state, he feels then unaroused, lapses, and largely by such means (long pause) holds the energy that he has left. I hope I have put that clearly.

You were of great benefit, you see, tonight, in actively mentioning the session—providing that stimuli, when Ruburt thought at least that his energies would not allow it.

(Long pause.) This may be the end of the session. It is possible that after a break I could add more, but we will see about Ruburt’s energies then. For now, I assure you of my own devout (humorously) sympathies—and also offer you my own assurances that your capacities and energies are more than able to see you through this episode triumphantly.

(“Probably your energy level dropped,” I said, “and that was as far or deep as you could carry the material’s expression.” Jane tentatively agreed.
