“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane also reported that twice within the past two days she had received “flashes” in the third person, to the effect that our bed, temporarily in the living room, should be moved to my empty studio in the back of the apartment if we are still here next winter. The messages were to the effect that “Ruburt’s psychic energies could be dangerous if he [Jane] does all his living in one room.”

(Jane and I were rather amused by Seth’s cavalier advice to keep the board. But then we had never told him these sessions began on a borrowed board. It belongs to our landlord, James Spaziani.)

As with all inner data, such an experience would be much more vivid than our present procedure. It would involve however the utilization of most, if not all, inner senses, operating as a whole cognizance field. Do you have that? Operating as a whole cognizance field.

And here a word about this material. Ruburt’s mind is an excellent one, and well given to serve our needs at this time. There is a reciprocal agreement here, and a give and take that is unlike your friend’s idea of invasion.

One reason for the success of our communications is the peculiar abilities present in you both and the interaction between them, and the use that you both allow me to make of them. Ruburt’s intellect had to be of high quality. His conscious and unconscious mind had to be acquainted with certain ideas to begin with, in order for the complexity of this material to come through.

There must of necessity be in the beginning a distortion, but this comes because of the give and take between us. If our communications involved, or if any such communications involved invasion, there would be no distortion because the individual so invaded would be blotted out. And this is not possible.

Now there are so many connections I want to make, and yet so many personal remarks I want to make, that I become all the more impatient for our still far-off release from words.

(Our kitchen is very small; seemingly too small to hold a table and chairs along with the icebox, stove, sink, etc.)

I do not want Ruburt’s psychic energies soaked up in trying to fight these needs, however. We need all of your psychic energies for our work, and you will learn in the future to use these energies well, and also to draw upon energies from the basic vitality.
