“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

What wonders do you request of me tonight? How did you like my fireworks? Not only were you tardy, but you brought a friend and wanted a display.

You forget that consciously you did not beckon the fragments at York Beach, and that last night’s materializations were consciously requested. This certainly must hint at some conscious control, Joseph, and should make you feel more confident about our sessions, not less. I am hardly worried that your critical sense will dim in this or other sessions. That is as it should be. But if other demonstrations should follow at least go along with me, as you certainly can.

It is difficult for me to tell you too much about Loren. Your Jane sets up barriers. He is not, I’m afraid, her favorite relative. I’m well aware there is no blood relation between Loren and Jane. Nevertheless I’ve managed, as I always do, to speak with some clarity through your collective reluctance, prejudices and barriers. You both mean very well, and part of your own entities aids me in making contact with your present personalities.

(Break at 9:45. Jane paced back and forth constantly as she delivered the above message. She talked just fast enough to keep me writing at near top speed; by its end I once again had writer’s cramp. Also, Jane’s voice was getting hoarse. She began dictating again when she felt more material coming through. Resume at 9:50.)

We merely construct imaginary lines to walk upon. So real are the wall constructions of your room that you would freeze in the wintertime without them, yet there is no room and no walls. So in a like manner the wires that we constructed are real to us in the universe, although there are no wires. All is one, as you are one with the apparent walls of the room. Again the idea of transparency. The walls are truly transparent to me though I am not sure I would perform, dear Joseph, and Ruburt, for a party demonstration.

Nevertheless to me the walls are transparent. So are the wires that we constructed to make our point about fifth dimension, but for all practical purposes we must behave as if the wires are there. There are certain planes which I cannot glimpse from my viewpoint, although I have greater understanding of these things than you. I realize that the changes that must occur before I can view those other planes will occur in me, not in the other planes. Again if you will consider our maze of wires, I will ask you to imagine them filling up everything that is, with your plane and my plane like two small bird’s nests in the net-like fabric of some gigantic tree.

I suppose I should consider myself lucky that you don’t request a demonstration of the tree to grow up through your living room. You will have to forgive me but I am not really irritated, dear friends, with this desire for demonstrations. Ha, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. It is only that you are so innocent and I am so amused. You have so little conception yet of what is involved, and yet personally I found last night’s session enjoyable. Your friend however really would have intruded, in a bumbling but quite domineering manner, had I so allowed him. He is like a child begging for a piece of frosty cake, and I must admit I was tempted to shove his head in the frosting.

I would suggest in the future that you attend the board at regular sessions. It is better to meet with me less often, but on a regular schedule, than meet with me three or four times one week and none the next. A certain period of recuperation is necessary for all of us, for you two more, but it also involves me in shall I say extracurricular activities. This is my first lesson class.
