“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In this session Jane displayed no voice effects of note. She did not smoke except at breaks and the hoarseness was minimized. To begin we sat at the board as usual, fingers on the pointer. Seth spelled out his greeting on the board but Jane began to receive him within immediately. Thus she dictated the entire session.

I did not mean that Ruburt should handle all your personal matters by any means. Such a suggestion was not my intention. I merely mean that when Ruburt feels strongly one way or another about a particular situation that you should give the matter deep thought and consideration, since you can usually, not always but usually, trust his intuitions.

Because Ruburt’s background in this life was particularly bizarre in a way and certainly unpleasant, he became beautifully efficient as far as sensing the approach of psychic storms is concerned and very adept at sensing moods, and also amazingly efficient in learning self-protective devices. It is true that Ruburt can also be trapped by his own capacity for protection. In his case this amounts to a stubborn refusal to see what he does not want to see. However this mechanism seldom actually goes haywire in this manner. This represents merely a possibility that could occur.

(Break at 9:25. I had done my yoga exercises at 8:30 and felt very relaxed and light-headed. My handwriting was very fluid. Smoking a cigarette during break, Jane received the words “—and as far as mediums are concerned—” but told Seth to wait until she had finished. She also admitted that she had been somewhat upset with Seth because of what he had told me the last two sessions; this I had not known. Jane resumed dictating at 9:30.)

(Jane later said that this phrase, camouflage distortion effect, was to be a very important one.)

The tree bark for example is not really divided from the rest of the tree, yet I must speak as if it were so divided because this is one of the apparent effects that you see, and I could not ignore what you insist was the evidence of your senses. The evidence of your senses is usually camouflage. Let that one sink in.

Our last session was a very long one. I will not keep you that long this evening. However I do suggest that you play around with your own camouflage patterns for a few moments, and then I will continue. And Ruburt, if you can find anything personal in camouflage patterns then I am done for.

(Break at 10:06. Time had passed very rapidly, it seemed, and we suspected time fore-shortening on Seth’s part. Jane said she could tell Seth was very pleased with the above dialogue. She resumed dictating at 10:15.)

(Break at 10:35. It was here that Jane, remarking about her fat hands, worked her ring back on. It took much pulling to get it off. She did not experience this odd sensation of change in any other part of her body. Resume dictation at 10:55.)

(Break at 11:10. During break Jane said Seth wanted to discuss there being more than one plane on earth. The phenomena with her hands persisted but her voice was normal. She resumed dictating at 11:18.)

(End at 12:10. After the session we discussed Seth’s analysis of my particular problems. Jane then wondered aloud if she would get good results when her turn came, since she was the one giving voice to Seth’s messages. She received the following very clearly:)
