“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane has had a relatively good day, and has done much better with the new chair for the bathroom. She even used it to go to the john an extra time this afternoon—a heartening sign. She had no questions for the session this evening, “But I had a feeling he might say something about that Kubler-Ross thing, and that there might be some charged material in it about me—that’s the feeling I get, so I’m just waiting....”

(The article in question is a Playboy interview with Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Leonard Yaudes left the May, 1981 issue recently, and Jane has been reading the interview therein once I noticed it and suggested that she review it. Kubler-Ross’s hassles —at least some of them—remind us of our own. I’ll note briefly that late last year, in November-December, Jane attempted to get in touch with Kubler-Ross at the behest of a friend of KR’s who had attended Sheri Perl’s classes. Jane was to call KR at a conference in Wappinger’s Falls, NY; she tried a number of times, always to be put off by a rather unpleasant and officious woman who was always saying that KR was “in conference” and couldn’t be disturbed. Jane wouldn’t leave our private number. KR, we were told, knew that Jane would be calling—indeed, had requested that she do so. The two never did make contact, so we figured it was for the best, for whatever reasons. According to our phone bill, Jane’s last attempt at contact was on December 5, 1980. “Well,” I said, “presumably KR knew you tried to reach her, so since you never got a letter or note later, forget it. That is, if that secretary, or whatever she was, was relaying your messages....”

(9:27.) Visions of an entirely different nature, seemingly saying different things, can still be highly legitimate visions, leading in fact by different routes toward other larger reconciliations. (Long pause.) It will be useful if Ruburt remembers this when he views other systems of reality. You make your own reality in “a thousand times.” You put together psychological events in various ways. You merge what is seemingly fiction or fantasy with what is seemingly factual. From those elements you form your picture of the world.

Now, in politics and religion, (Prime Minister) Begin believes it much more practical to deal with the Sinful Self and its “evil prerogatives” than he does with the better self that may indeed represent “the Son of God in man.” He is not waiting around, therefore, by relying upon or overrelying upon, in his view, man’s good intent. The Sinful Self is convinced of its own evil, and the evil intent of others, and so it is driven to protect itself ahead of time.

Now Ruburt’s body is responding very well, and the material we have given on the Sinful Self—and other subjects—is being assimilated. Your lives of course reflect redistributions of energy constantly. That is apparent in your activities at all levels. At such times hints and clues from Framework 2 often become more than usually available, so keep your eyes open for them.

(I thought Seth’s brief answer to my question merely reinforced my suspicion that my attitudes toward Prentice had unduly influenced Jane. He’s dealt with the question a bit in past sessions, of course, but evidently not in the required depth. I couldn’t help but think his material wouldn’t be exactly flattering to me. I didn’t know whether I looked forward to it or not, but felt it essential that we get it. There must have been a reason, I thought, that I asked the question at this time.
