“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon at about 2 PM workmen took down the tree that had partially fallen on March 6. See the 33rd session. It was a very beautiful elm tree that died several years ago, and I was quite attached to it. With a power saw one man cut into the base of the tree; pulling on a rope thrown over a higher branch, two other men pulled it down. When the tree fell its branches seemed to crumple and break as though there was no strength left in them. And as I watched it strike the ground, I felt a wave of sensation sweep over me, the rich tingling, the feeling of perhaps an inner wind that I described first in the 24th session. Even after I had gone back to work I felt at times a residue of this feeling, very faint, in various parts of my body.

His bursts of nervous energy usually begin in January and are somewhat the result of chemicals that appear in the air at that time. Much of this energy is channeled into his work, but when there is trouble or a lag, then look out. Nevertheless if you can believe it this siege is about over, the energy itself finding much more beneficial outlet in the poetry which comes with a splurge at the end of March as a rule.

Joseph can be glad that Ruburt now tosses furniture and not rocks, though the assault incidentally is not directed against any person. Good aggressive energy that should go into Ruburt’s work is often misused. You can see the power of this energy in a more or less visible manner when it is demonstrated in this physical way. This same energy is used in Ruburt’s writing and is extremely strong, powerful and stormy often; and he is not, Joseph, trying to get out of his room as I believe you mentioned earlier.

The sensation represented the twang of the inner senses as they registered the basic tree value. Had you had the opportunity to do more work with psychological time you would have been able to attain greater perception than you did. You will find that your painting will not suffer. Do you have any more questions in particular?

Since our imagined experience would depend upon all of the inner senses working together in a complex, near-perfect manner, that I doubt you could achieve at this stage. This experiencing of past, present and future would seem to be unwilled, almost automatic. If you were to have it or one like it, it would seem as if a door suddenly for no reason opened and then just as abruptly closed. This would not be the case however.

(Break at 9:30. Jane was dissociated as usual. Looking out our living room window just then, I saw the service truck from the TV cable company parked there. Jane had called them earlier because our reception had been poor ever since the falling tree limb of March 6 had ripped down the line. Servicemen had been to the house several times in an effort to improve the reception. Jane particularly missed the channel for music only, since she was used to working by this in the mornings.

(We were surprised now to see anyone working at this hour of the night. And of course we immediately thought of the session being interrupted. At 9:33, Seth interrupted break to deliver the following through Jane:)

Only when a certain level of confidence is reached can the outer ego afford to become familiar with these inner workings, at least on your plane. Otherwise you would falter. As a rule, even though the whole self is capable of organizing the data from all of the inner senses, the subconscious can rarely receive such communications full blast; and the outer ego, concerned as it is with camouflage pattern, and really born to deal with camouflage pattern, simply could not stand the shock of realization that a complete set of inner senses would bring.

(The service man from the TV cable company was still working at the back of the house. Jane resumed at 10:17.)

The back room is the best for sleeping. However it is also the best for your working purposes, Joseph. The small room will do as a sleeping room, but the head of the bed should be at the north. And in the use of psychological time exercises you would do well if your head was at the north.

No. This ability was used once with the lyre. Music of his preference will be an excellent aid to his work, and it reinforces his discipline.
