“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Her reference to the French painter, Paul Cézanne, involves an experience that she began just the other day. Since Seth discusses this himself in the session, I’ll let him carry on from here.)

In our last book session, I gave the title for this chapter, mentioning the emotions and association; and the fact that the psyche must be directly experienced. I have not dictated a book session per se again until this evening. In the meantime, Ruburt has been experiencing dimensions of the psyche new to him.

(9:43. Our cat, Willy, woke up and insisted upon climbing into Jane’s lap as she sat in trance. I finally had to deposit him in the writing room and close the door.)

It did not occur to him that those experiences had anything to do with this book, or that in acting so spontaneously he was following any kind of inner order. He wanted these pages to follow neatly one by one. Each of his experiences, however, demonstrates the ways in which the psyche’s direct experiences defy your prosaic concepts of time, reality, and the orderly sequence of events. They also served to point up the differences between knowledge and comprehension, and emphasize the importance of desire and of the emotions.

(10:02.) Rest your fingers. Get Ruburt some cigarettes. I will keep him in trance. Do you want to rest?
