“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

As far as helping other people is concerned, [Ruburt] can help far better in his psychic class, or in another additional one. I am not telling him not to have his creative writing class. He can do as he likes. He will be using the same ideas, but different methods, in any case. The people who have called about creative writing are only using that as an excuse. They feel a need of development in many areas.

(10:13. We had forgotten to put our cat, Willy, in another room before the session. Now he jumped into Jane’s lap, so I had to lay my notebook aside. He purred as I carried him back to the studio. Jane sat waiting patiently in trance.)

(Pause at 10:23.) In periods of conscious “blank spots” or certain fluctuations, these memory systems are often perceived. As a rule the conscious mind with its own memory system will not accept them. When a personality realizes that such other realities exist and that other experiences with consciousness are possible, then he activates certain potentials within himself. These alter electromagnetic connections both within the mind, the brain, and even the perceptive mechanisms. They bring together reservoirs of energy and set up pathways of activity, allowing the conscious mind to increase its degree of sensitivity to such data. The conscious mind is set free of itself. To a large measure it undergoes a metamorphosis, taking on greater functions. It is able to perceive, little by little, some of the content before closed to it. It need no longer perceive the momentary “blank spots” fearfully, as evidence of nonexistence.

With some, the lapses are more noticeable, outside of the norm. If the situation is not understood, then the personality may find it difficult to relate to physical events. If he is able to perceive the other areas of consciousness, he may find himself in still more difficulty — not realizing that both systems of reality are valid.
