Seth Speaks
The Eternal Validity of the Soul
Chapter 3: Session 515.... continued from 10/19/2021
"MY WORK AND THOSE DIMENSIONS OF
REALITY INTO WHICH IT TAKES ME"
"The pupil must be encouraged, but not overly extended while development
continues. My material must be presented in such a way that it makes sense in
the context in which the pupil understands reality, particularly in the early
stages. Great care must be utilized, even before serious learning can begin,
that all levels of the personality develop at a more or less constant rate."
"Often the material I present will initially be given without any sight of my
presence, seemingly as a startling revelation. For no matter how carefully I
present the material, it is still bound to change past ideas that are strongly
a part of the pupil's personality. What I say is one thing, but the pupil of
course is thrust into psychological and psychic behavior and experience that
may seem quite alien to him on a conscious level."
"The problems vary according to the system in which my pupil has his or her
existence. In your system, for example, and in connection with the woman
through whom I now write this book, initial contact on my part was made long
before our sessions began."
"The personality was never consciously aware of the initial meeting. She simply
experienced sudden new thoughts, and since she is a poet, these appeared as
poetic inspirations. At one time some years ago, at a writers' conference, she
became involved in circumstances that could have led to her psychic development
before she was ready. The psychological climate at that time, of those
involved, initiated the conditions, and without realizing what she was about
our friend [Jane] went into a trance."
