“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is as if I was operating on one of many channels, and I am still in the process of teaching you to operate the other dials. When you grow in proficiency, and I certainly hope you will, then much greater dimension will be given to these sessions, with your help. You are getting now something that corresponds to one thin wispy signal, or one tinny distant sound, or one clouded foggy image. In the future as I said the dimension will grow. Your own inner senses will add greater reality than you can imagine at this point.

There is an inner sense, dear Joseph, that in a vague manner corresponds to your own inner images. That is, you use this inner sense quite inadvertently in your visions, except that as a result of your lack of consistent training you see these but dimly. Nor can you maintain them for long. You are of course familiar with the difference between the early movies, the stills without sound, the grotesque jerky motions, and the latest Technicolor achievements, with whatever embellishments have been added. In our attempts here in these sessions you hardly know what the camera is.

That is, you will achieve the counterpart of sight, sound, smell, touch, embellished by inner counterparts of width and existence. You have trouble now with the duration of your inner visions because you are trying to transpose them according to physical camouflage time, and this is going about it in the wrong way to begin with. As I mentioned earlier in the last session, you have at your command even now an inroad so to speak, and a relatively accessible one, in what is termed psychological time.

It was a defect on the receiving end that caused fear on your part. I will say this next sentence, and sometime later it will become more clear. You felt sound. This was faithful to the inner senses. But because you did not hear sound with your ears, you panicked and formed the image of mouths that could not speak. This was a projection of your inability and should not be taken as any condition of helplessness existing in the inner world, as I am afraid you interpreted the image.

Ruburt’s forgotten-till-now experience with music was legitimate. Actually it reoccurred many times, I believe, and was always discarded by the conscious mind. Again, this involves feeling sound. That is all I will say for the moment, but it is a valuable foretaste.

You can never force them to exist for a specified period of clock time, nor for that matter can you do that to a dream. Though this may sound impossible at this stage, nevertheless you can control such data when in a waking state better than you can control a dream. Here you learn to use certain parts of the consciousness for the purposes of the whole self, but I will discuss this at a later date.
