“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See the attached experiences of Jane’s, of March 13 and l6. I showed them to her to refresh her memory. As with her earlier experiences, these were excellent and quite to the point considering her hassles. It was easy to lose track of them, unfortunately. “I’ve completely forgotten your questions, too,” she said. As I had, for the most part. Nor have I added to that list for a long time now. One thing that inhibited me is that I was aware, of course, of the predominantly negative context or tone of the whole idea of the list. It’s a contradictory attitude, of course, since these private sessions are an effort to learn something about our hassles—not a self-congratulatory exercise.

(Since Seth mentions such episodes tonight, I’ll note here also that lately Jane has had a number of dreams involving television programs that we’ve seen—shows like Dallas, TV movies, etc. Now as she prepared for Seth to come through she sat upright on the couch. Then: )

Now: we have been having a rather concentrated group of sessions, and it is quite natural that Ruburt should want to take some time out as he has, so that he can assimilate the material.

(Now Jane began to lean back on the couch; she looked to be much more comfortable.)

Your own interest in (flower)seeds right now presents you with an excellent example of the natural person’s inclination to seek out fresh stimulation, and to ally itself, however innocently, with those forces of natural creativity. The exterior interest, the physical manipulations, also stand for, and reflect, inner manipulations with psychic growth, and serve as symbols of a united psychological approach.

(10:08.) In other words, the entire psychic sequence only seemed to be thrust upon him in his thirties. (Long pause.) A reconciliation now can help revive those youthful feelings of support, however, and the enjoyment of natural knowledge and natural characteristics.

(Long pause.) I am trying to connect present and past here in a very important manner, so that Ruburt can understand his own psychic roots, for they are indeed the basic ones, and that understanding is as important to his development now as any other material that I might give. I will then end the session, unless you have a question that you particularly want answered this evening.
