“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In Denmark, you yourself were ignorant of this clock time. To people in earlier centuries clock time was unimportant; and from here in I will distinguish between physical time, which has to do with day and night, with the tides and seasons, and clock time with which I will deal only when absolutely necessary.

I wanted to say a little more about duration, as far as communication from the inner senses are concerned. As I said, duration can be experienced in relation to psychological time and within its framework. The important thing here, and I’m afraid the difficult thing for you here, is the relaxation of the mind from clock time. And this is a freedom which you can and should allow yourself in such instances.

You switched yourself off automatically because the experience frightened you, but the whole affair was beneficial because it gave you some firsthand experience of pure inner sensory data. It was unfortunate that it was so uncontrolled, but I’m afraid this is to be expected in the beginning. If possible try to relax if this occurs again, and the data will slow itself up.

At this stage you will do what you can to encourage it without my telling you, yourself, as you yourself initiated the event to begin with. Your own innate inner knowledge will aid you, and any intellectual comprehension at this time would not help; later it may.

If you will remember this, inner data will come through much more easily, and you will be able to control it. It is never of itself overpowering. There are abilities in which you can train yourself, in both recognition of data when it occurs, utilization, and control. This also implies to some degree utilization as far as duration is concerned. That is, within the framework of psychological time you can lengthen such experiences.
