“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

During this same time that hand manifestation was going on, and seen by all but Theodore clearly, other manifestations were reported by Vera, and by her alone. She sat kitty corner from me, diagonally in a clear line. She said that she definitely saw something green, like a green line, going up and down in front of me; also another color, I forget; and that this continued while the hand bit did. Someplace in here, they also reported that part of the astral form was present; or at least the aura was visible down around the shoulders and waist.

We all had the feeling something was going for us.... It’s hard to see how suggestion operated. In the aura bit, I have given myself the suggestion I’d see my own on several occasions with no effect. Florence actively fights against any suggestions, and I purposely gave none. Obviously we were trying for something—which is in itself suggestion, but on other times we’ve tried for example to get the table to move and it wouldn’t budge. If this was the case, how come the auras were more visible in light than darkness, since you are more suggestible in the dark. The other manifestations also happened in light, though we did try darkness with no effects showing.
