“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

—good evening and good morning, all in one merry tumble. I have looked in on you so to speak this morning, this afternoon and this evening, and with Ruburt’s permission. That is the reason for my bizarre greeting.

And this is also an example of an instance where Ruburt would have blocked me, but this time he did not. My good afternoon instantly confused him since he was well aware of the time. He almost blocked me, changing this to the more ordinary good evening. But as you both can see I had my reason and Ruburt gave me the chance.

Had this blocking occurred it would have been almost conscious on Ruburt’s part although he would have quickly forgotten it. In some cases such blocking is on a deeper level and not at all conscious, and it is also at this level that the few distortions that occur take place.

I knew of this, of course, at the time. However it does not serve any good purpose for me to knock Ruburt’s knuckles when an error of this kind is made. For one thing such errors are not numerous, nor really were these particular errors harmful. They were strong positive suggestions and as such they do sometimes serve a good purpose. In some cases they could actually bring such occurrences into reality through suggestion only.

I have endeavored to avoid this sort of occurrence from happening. Ruburt has increased his abilities, or rather learned to handle them more competently since that time. He learns as he goes along, so that he will be able to recognize the actual feeling of such distortions and avoid them, as this evening he was able to feel his own attempt to block the initial portion of my greeting.

Any idiot knows night from day. I am familiar with the change when I visit you, and Ruburt, who is not aware consciously of which word will follow another, did not know the intention behind the greeting. I appreciate, Ruburt, your misguided attempt to prove that I know night from day.

Imagine looking at a scene outside your window as Ruburt now allows me to do. From Ruburt’s viewpoint he receives the visual image with auditory effects. A slightly cold draft of air leaks in through the window. He does not smell anything from the outside. With use of the complete set of inner senses the experience would be to you astonishingly more rich, varied, direct, and instantly instructive.

This has happened, although in what you would call primitive societies. Such personalities were more sheltered than they would be in yours. This could result in a temporary, but thoroughly frightening existence between planes that would require utmost caution on the part of the entity. Each plane necessitates its own orientation, and such a personality would have none. If the situation should ever arise I would advise that neither of you experiment with such drugs. Ruburt in particular, but this also applies to you, Joseph, and there is absolutely no distortion in this statement.

—and this time we have no distortion but a simple mistake I believe in notes. I certainly did not say what I have just seen through Ruburt’s eyes. The error is in one word; not fluent but “inner.” The outer senses are not as fluent as the inner. For some reason the word was either mistaken or transposed, I do not know. The outer senses dealing with rigid camouflage patterns could not be as fluent as the inner senses.

The error could have been on Ruburt’s part, although I believe I would have known it in that case and corrected it at once.

Ruburt invited me on a subconscious level.

Your next-door neighbor may work out well. Ruburt’s personal feeling is important as far as any witnesses are concerned, and while I did suggest a witness to him tonight the choice of the witness was his. Your choice, Joseph, is of course important here, but someone antagonistic to Ruburt might bother him, which is why I left the choice to him.

I was attempting contact with Ruburt during his brief nap as an experiment and as a brief lesson.
