“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is even difficult for me to answer that, since you are partly on the track and partly way off. The emotional aspect of course would be the personality-essence. However it also has a structure that is very simple, but to you would appear complicated to the extreme. This is because of your present habit of thinking in word patterns rather than energy transferral complexes.

At some time you may be able to experience my structure. You see, the inner senses provide direct experience. The outer senses provide camouflaged distortions of translated secondhanded experience.

I bring about such realignment of molecular patterns through direct manipulation. This will not be possible at your level. Even in the distant future such realignments will involve costly, complicated and almost impossible achievements because you will be trying to approach the problem working from the outside inward. The solution lies in manipulations made upon structures from the inside, or a very direct manipulation of the whole self.

I do not bring about the trance state in the manner of which you are speaking. Ruburt switches another channel on, through which my essence can enter more readily. There is the problem here of my entry also into your conscious minds. This does certainly involve a looking inward on Ruburt’s part, but it is not self-hypnosis in the terms usually spoken of, merely a focusing upon an objective inner stimulus in much the same manner that you focus upon an outside camouflage stimulus.

Any such signs involve camouflage patterns and do not actually represent direct experience. This is not, for example, my voice. It is a representation or approximation of my voice for your edification. Furthermore in your terms I do not have a voice. Nevertheless it is a valid representation and if I must say so myself, and that’s a pun, the voice is very much like the voice I would use, though Frank had a different one.

Any materializations by the way, returning to an offshoot of our earlier discussion, are at best the sort of thing involved as with Ruburt’s deep voice. That is, they represent rather than are, on your terms. They cannot exist in duration upon your level for any long periods. They are an attempt to reproduce a camouflage pattern or to approximate such a pattern. As such they make quite an effect upon your level, but they are always reassemblies and never are they the actual reappearance of the exact camouflage as it may once have existed upon your level.

This is surely to be expected. Your own bodies are never, as you know, completely the same from one moment to the next. This change of molecular components on your level reoccurs constantly while the outward form retains its pattern. It is possible for me to change the form. It is no longer necessary that the same form be maintained and it is entirely impossible for the exact pattern to materialize upon your level. There can only be an approximation.

There have been few such occurrences. They represent the thing happening. That is, they represent the event of approximate assemblage of energy from one pattern to another. Nor is darkness a prerequisite for such occurrences.

No. I can simply manipulate molecular patterns and create rain or snow. I cannot blanket my plane with rain or snow.

Your divider is an excellent camouflage pattern. In case you wondered Ruburt’s weekend fling with the furniture was a result of various things—an inner, unrecognized knowledge that her publisher would put off the book for now, and a burst of doubt over these sessions coupled with worries concerning your parents.
