“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“— and we’re speaking of personality now,” Jane said, coughing again. “As the seed falls, blown by the wind in any environment, so there’s a seed of personality that rides on the wings of itself and falls into the worlds of many times and places. Falling with a sound that is its own true tone, struck in different chords.”

(11:03 P.M. “Wow, I’m out, I’m telling you,” Jane said rather groggily after a few moments. “I don’t know how you’re going to put this together with the Seth stuff. It’s like a note that finds its own true tone, and when it does nothing else makes sense. That’s all I can say. But once you strike it, you know that’s it.”

8. And “those travelers into unknown worlds” can still be called outcasts, strange, weird — or worse. Jane has had her share of such reactions from others (as have I). When combined with her own natural-enough questions about her psychic abilities, as sometimes happens, such episodes aren’t any fun. In accidental ways that would be quite humorous if they weren’t so personal, we’ve also learned what negative ideas others can have about us: A person will inadvertently reveal to us, during a conversation, or in a letter or over the telephone, the unflattering opinions his or her mate, or parents, or friends, really have of Jane and me and the work we’re engaged in with the Seth material.

Occasionally we’ll meet one or more of our secondhand detractors. Then of course we’re greeted with polite smiles; the conversation may touch upon the weather, but hardly ever upon matters psychic. Sometimes we’ll discover that the “knowledge” of us held by the skeptic(s) in question is so far removed from our actual beliefs and activities that it would take us a very long time to establish any real understanding among all involved — if it would be possible to begin with, that is. We always elect to pass up such “opportunities.”

Yes … And in the face of such skepticism or misunderstanding, Jane and I may at times find ourselves wondering why psychic attributes even exist in nature, in those terms, if they’re denied any application within that framework. “You [each] must have a basic approval of yourself,” Seth told us recently in a personal session. “This is information not only for the two of you, of course, but for others: You must trust your basic being, with its characteristics and abilities. You have them for a reason, in all of their unique combinations. You should also avoid labels, for these can stereotype your perception of yourself.”
