“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

My remark about the lively arts had to do with the method of communication we use at the present time. Jane is right in supposing that I prefer conversation, even though I admit this usually amounts to a monologue. And this is what I meant by the lively arts. There is little spontaneity involved in automatic writing, as far as emotional content is concerned. At least that is my opinion.

The method of communication suits me temperamentally, and believe you me I can be temperamental. Somehow, to me at least, it seems that automatic writing could become like an institution. It is often so one-sided. Also, I enjoy the questions that you do manage to get in. Oftentimes they remind me of other things I would like to say.

Because Ruburt deals in words it is easy for me to communicate in this manner. That is, Ruburt automatically translates inner data given by me into coherent, valid and faithful camouflage patterns, into words. The data that I give is not actually sound on my part. The transference of my data is automatic and instantaneous on Ruburt’s part and is performed through the inner workings of the mind, the inner senses and the brain.

It just happens that Ruburt’s ability happens to lie along the easiest route as far as these communications are concerned. That is, both of you have pursued separate abilities because of the bent of your particular personalities. You will go on now to develop other senses as you learn of them. The problem is not only to receive data through the inner senses in an undistorted and coherent manner, but also of translating this data into the particular camouflage patterns with which you are familiar.

If they every do, save them. I don’t care about how long I communicate, but I don’t want to be blamed for fatigue or missed sleep or anything of that sort. I can tell you, though, that any unscheduled sessions will be the exception and not the rule. Too much of a good thing, you know—ha ha.
