“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your young man gave you an excellent instance—a “case” that the most noteworthy psychologists or psychiatrists, if they had time, would find fascinating. You were able to gain insights that you simply would not have if you were not presented with exaggerated realities. Your young psychologist was a case in point, with his “crazies,” your Andrija Puharich, your young people with the child, about Christmas time.

(Last night, Jane spent an exhausting couple of hours trying to get through to a young man, Stuart, who called on us unannounced at about 9 PM. He suffered from the attacks of “magicians” who were stealing his energy: “Plates” of energy were being stripped away from his chest in layers, until he feared his inner self would be exposed. He was also stalked by people in vans with antennae—they wanted to clone him.

Now: we have a young man who felt himself to be unimportant, lacking in stature or ability—the kind of a person who would be lost in a crowd.

We now have a young man who is quite important. He is so important that others pursue him psychically. His abilities and powers are so great that others, seemingly now, try to rob him of them. Far from living a colorless life, he wanders through the country, in the midst of an exciting psychic chase, pursued by magicians, evil powers, and the most sophisticated weaponry of giant corporations and the government.

My heartiest welcome to our young friend, and to our late-coming Jesuit (Bill Gallagher, who arrived just as the session began), and of course, our cat lover (Peg).

[...] Our young gentleman friend has come a long way to visit me, but then I also came a long way, you see, to visit you.

[...] I am not always as serious, young man, as I intend to be with you.

[...] I tell you this because you are young, and must make your own decision. [...]

[...] After though, Pat Norelli (I think it was her, though she didn’t look like Pat particularly) myself and two young men were climbing along a high ledge toward the top of the gigantic theater. [...] Pat went on along the ledge to where it met the front wall but I was frightened of falling and stayed where I was with the young man who was my companion, When Pat reached that point, the young man who was her companion did something.... [...]

(Our young friends, Marilyn and Don Wilbur, visited us before the session this evening but did not stay for the session itself. With their young friend Ann Diebler, they have witnessed a very few unscheduled sessions. [...]

Generally, for the first time, you and Ruburt are bringing the world of books to these people, the young people, for the first time. Your own artistic endeavors have influenced the young woman who was here this evening. [...]

[...] As stated before, these young people have asked Jane and me many interesting questions about the material, and other related subjects. [...]

You have no idea, Joseph, of your effect upon the young people with whom you come in contact, at your place of employment in particular. [...]

Some in your society feel that the young are kept out of life’s mainstream also, denied purposeful work, their adolescence prolonged unnecessarily. As a consequence some young people die for the same reason: They believe that the state of youth is somehow dishonorable. [...] There were many unfortunate misuses of the old system of having a son follow in his father’s footsteps, yet the son at a young age was given meaningful work to do, and felt a part of life’s mainstream. [...]

Your Olympics,² on television, present you with evidence of the great capacity of the young human body. The contrast between the activity of those athletes, however, and the activity of the normal young person is drastic. [...]

(To me:) You spoke today, or this evening, about some [world] statesmen who are not young at all, and men and women who do not only achieve (pause), but who open new horizons in their later years. [...]

[...] Often, then, both the young and the old felt left out of your culture. [...]

[...] “Why couldn’t I have known when I was a young man about my abilities, and how best to use them?” Think of yourself as a young man using them, and you will automatically be free of many hampering concepts in your work.

When every young man refuses to go to war you will have peace. [...] Unfortunately, in the condition in which your world finds itself, it is extremely difficult to imagine that all the young men in all of the countries at the same time will refuse to go to war. [...]

[...] For it will come when every man realizes that killing is wrong, and when every young man in every country refuses to go to war, and when he refuses to curse any man or any flower. [...]

Our young friend here has many questions. [...]

[...] Our young friend shifts the focus of his awareness from inner to outer realities very often, and without realizing that he does so.

The wife dies young. [...]

You may take your break now and we shall continue… Our fire-loving young friend here can watch Ruburt light his match.

(10:32.) Your young man, your visitor, does indeed suffer torments because he is so thoroughly convinced he is in the wrong place at the wrong time, and all of his unfortunate experiences follow that conviction, which so far he has refused to give up. [...] Your whole attitude showed the young man, however, that he was the one who must examine his own beliefs, and without immediately panicking him you showed by inference your own belief that his delusion was doing him considerable harm.

[...] The young man (see the 816th session proper) was really comparing his life and the earth unfavorably with an idealized imagined world, to which he could never return. [...]

[...] The young lady wanted to see the both of you vividly enough so that that desire, with no effort on her part, was a reality in Framework 2. Miss Dineen likes people, and would be quite lonely were it not for the desire to meet with and enjoy other people. [...]

[...] The meeting then originally was “planned” in Framework 2. In case your young visitor—the woman (Carol) now—did not meet you, she had insisted in her mind that she would meet someone who knew you or had some personal connection somehow.

[...] In that case, the young woman would still have met someone who had a connection with him.

[...] Neither Miss Dineen or the young woman planned the physical events directly as they occurred. [...]

You (to Rose) are a young entity. [...] You are a very young entity and frisky! [...]

(To Ned:) My nose, young man, is not a moving picture machine. [...]

[...] And to show that though I have no visible heart I am young at heart. [...]

[...] As I went through a double revolving door I caught a glimpse of a young man, say in his mid-twenties, who was an exact duplicate of my own son, who I knew was not in the mall, but was away on business of some kind. [...] By then the young man was gone. [...]

[...] The c-e-l-l-s (spelled) of the young men in question were always in communication, and all of those elements needed to bring about such a reunion took place at that magical level of activity. [...]

(A note: the way things “work” … On Thursday morning—the day after this session was held — Jane and I saw the three young men referred to in the newspaper article on a well-known variety show. [...]

I do not know how or when the two look-a-like young men met — but in my reverie I thought of the mother in question tracing back connections all the way to her son’s birth at the Elmira hospital. [...]

Two young women visited Ruburt lately. [...] One young lady wanted to quit her job, stay at home, and immerse herself in “psychic work,” hoping that her part in changing the world could be accomplished in that manner. [...]

A young man from a nearby town came here recently — a highly gifted, intelligent young person. [...]

[...] Today — just in time — we’d received a letter from a young lady who played a supporting role in the film. [...]

Our session is late this evening because Ruburt and Joseph watched the beginning of a (television) movie in which a young woman I will call Sarah appeared as an actress. [...]

Dictation: Today Ruburt received a call from a young woman I will name Andrea. She is a lovely young blonde. [...]

Now: This was a way of assisting the young woman involved, and others too. [...] The situation is one in which many young women are involved, and this material can help them solve dilemmas of which they may have been unaware previously. [...]

[...] A young man she had been seeing began to avoid her. [...]

The “lovely young woman” phrase incidentally is an excellent one for him to use. [...]

“I am a lovely young woman” is particularly good because it automatically identifies Ruburt with grace, agility and health. [...]

[...] He comes through as an extremely attractive, highly intelligent young woman, with strong psychic and creative abilities, unusual insight into the problems of others—as a writer, a psychic, and as “the mistress” of a delightful establishment.

He also comes through as a young woman with some problems, with a repressive tendency that is physically materialized, with dogmatic and somewhat rigid distorted ideas that have only lately really been understood by the personality. [...]

He tried to loosen the hampering bedding, and could not, but a doctor —a young man—came to his aid, loosened the bedding. [...]

(10:55.) Ruburt is too persistent to die young. [...]

Those particular beliefs actually take hold in young adults, so that it seems that all of life is meant to come to its fullest flower in young adulthood, and then from that prestigious position fall quicker and quicker into disuse and disarray.

These ideas do not only inflict severe difficulties upon older members of the population, but they also have a vital part to play in the behavior of many young people who commit suicide directly or indirectly. [...]

These are seen at their most severe and their most obvious where suicide is involved — particularly in the suicide of the young. Later we will discuss some special cases of reincarnational influence connected with suicide, but for now we will be concerned with the increasing numbers of suicides by young adults.

[...] Young adult suicides are not necessarily from the poorest or the lowest stratas of society at all. [...]

Since you value sexual performance in the most limited of terms, and use that largely as a focus of identity, then both your old and young suffer consequences that are not so much the result of age as of sexual prejudice. It is interesting to note that both the old and the young also find themselves outside of your organizational frameworks. The young are more freewheeling in their thoughts before they accept sexual roles, and the old are more freewheeling in theirs because they have discarded their sexual roles. I did not say that old or young had no sexual expression — but that both groups did not identify their identities with their sexual roles. [...]

[...] I have been a young man, a young girl, a mother, a father, a son. [...]

A crisis will come in three years and our young friend had better be willing to face it. [...]
