“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause at 8:43.) Deplorable as world conditions seem, for example, as man’s desperate need for self-understanding is made known to himself, so in that world also there is a time of sensed change: new values that “will take this time.” (Firecrackers next door.) This applies now privately to some of the people that you know, but in particular it applies to both of you now. Period. (More fireworks at 8:46, but Seth wasn’t bothered.) These periods involve accelerations, sensed while they may still be invisible, and it is this kind of period that you have just now entered into. I will have far more to say whenever you decide our next session should be—tomorrow evening or whenever, as you embark upon your new saga—and for now I bid you a fond good evening.

(Jane had heard the fireworks next door, which had only sounded for two brief intervals. All was quiet. I read her the session. “It’s a start,” I said, and she agreed. I can’t wait for the next one. The alternatives are too painful and unnecessary to consider.)

[...] From the valley south of our hill house intermittent barrages of fireworks had sounded during the session, and even now crackled anew. The situation was reminiscent, I thought, of other sessions we’d held on warm summer nights with the doors and windows open, and listened to the distant sound of fireworks....)

[...] How did you like my fireworks? [...]

[...] Last night was no 4th-of-July fireworks, but it was your first such experience.

You have atrocious acts committed, along with great heroisms, but each are explosive, representing sudden releases of withheld energies that have in other ways been forbidden, and so man’s mass psyche expresses itself sometimes like explosive fireworks, simply because the release of pressure is necessary.

[...] And now if all the fireworks are over, may I return to the subject from which I was so uproariously interrupted.

Those who prove interested in these sessions, and who become part of a group, will be sustained; but always I will work with you in the development of your inner senses, without the display of fireworks for display’s sake alone.

[...] Jane said she had an image of a star of sorts, and that this gave her the idea of fireworks shooting into the sky—thus the idea of a geyser, and something rising and explosive, etc.
