“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now there is something you do not understand, and so I will set you straight. It has been given in our material—I do not want to upset any of you. You have all seen, I suppose, educational TV. Now when you turn on your miraculous contrivance and you see the teacher on the screen, that does not mean that at that moment, the teacher is on the screen. Do you follow me? The teacher is quite legitimate but he is not there when you see him.

And so sometimes you are given a recording. Now this does not mean that I am not present in such sessions, anymore than it does not mean that the information you are given by the teacher, on the screen, is not legitimate. It is a reasonable facsimile.

I do not mean to infer that our dear friend Ruburt is simply a channel on a TV screen. Now tonight I am here clearly. My total emotional immersion may be far away from your system, in your terms, when I know I am wanted here, therefore I can appear here. For the program has already been taped.

Now when your teacher appears on the TV screen, he is not aware consciously of himself within the image that you see. It is completely a taped production. When the same thing happens in our classes, however, I am here—but to a lesser extent than I am at this moment. I am aware of myself, going with our analogy, within the image that you would see on your TV screen.
