(“Was this girl an apparition?”)

[...] Animals have sensed such apparitions. [...]

These chemical properties are more diffused in such an apparition than in a physical form, however. [...]

Perhaps this diffused quality is the most important difference (from your point of view) between an apparition and a physical form. [...]

[...] Yet if two people see, in your terms see, the same apparition, then instantly we must speak in terms of the weight of the apparition seen, the color of the eyes. [...]

In a considerable number of ghost or apparition cases this is what is involved. [...]

On occasion, when circumstances are unusually favorable, an apparition can appear at such times, because of the power and plastic nature of the force field involved. [...]

[...] His father had died a few months ago, and while he stood in the backyard, a place he knew and had loved since childhood, Jimmy thought to himself: “Now, if I could see my father’s apparition, then I could tell Ma, and she’d feel a lot better,” or words to that effect. [...]

(Jimmy of course related to Marian his thoughts about seeing his father’s apparition. [...]

[...] To some extent, I am like a particularly vivid, persistent, recurring dream image, visiting the mass psyche, only with a reality that is not confined to dreams — a dream image that attains a psychological fullness that can seem to make ordinary consciousness a weak apparition by contrast, psychologically speaking.

[...] The “figure of lights” describes an apparition Jane recently experienced, at night, and we are interested in getting Seth’s explanation of it.)

In the case of the apparitions and ghosts mentioned in that session, there was one main difficulty behind their situation. [...]

[...] Its fear of a goddess emerging was renewed each time another apparition of the Virgin appeared in one corner or another of the world.

[...] You will simply not have visiting apparitions Monday through Saturday, nor will you ever be certain ahead of time, regardless of proficiency, as to the success of such ventures. [...]

(At 8:45 tonight Jane said that Seth was going to talk about the York Beach apparitions we created at that resort in the summer of 1963, while on vacation there, in Maine. [...]

[...] You will be able to help apparitions appear, for example, on occasion. [...]

[...] You are, in other words, apparitions and in a gigantic mass hallucination you all agree upon the people that you see, and you all pretend that you are the selves that you see but you are far more than this. [...]

(Jane has been reading G.N.M. Tyrrell’s book, Science and Psychical Phenomena & Apparitions, lately, and she now told me she had hoped that Seth might discuss his relationship with her this evening.

[...] Sometimes Christ appeared as an apparition — but as Seth commented in a private session: “You could not have a world in which the newly risen dead mixed with the living. [...]

[...] During this session, in which Bill Macdonnel saw an apparition for upwards of an hour, Bill and I saw an independent set of features that appeared to hang just in front of Jane’s features.)

[...] There is little difference indeed, basically, between physical images and dream images, and apparitions, and very little difference between these and thoughts and emotions.

[...] Bill in turn had told us about an apparition he’d seen a few years earlier when he was an art student. [...]

[...] Part of your own reaction, I believe, was due to the fact that you realized that this contact represented a personal encounter, that this bizarre apparition was aware of you as you were of him.
