“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Good evening, all three peachies.

(During this session, Jane spoke with much emphasis. I have underlined a few words and phrases she seemed to pay special attention to. Seth began this session in a very positive manner, as though he would be all business this time, and kept at it hammer and tongs.)

It also riddles your box through. Nevertheless, with your camouflage senses you perceive only that part of the concept that happens to fall within your box, and even then you receive and interpret such a concept with your outer senses, and therefore distort it out of all recognition.

I am sorry that I cannot give him a review. However, I held up much material the past few sessions, as I dealt with fluttery Ruburt’s ego. I trust we have that sort of thing under control. The best thing when you are standing on a diving board is just to plunge in, Ruburt. This teetering back and forth, shall I jump or shan’t I, is done with, I hope. He jumps, so to speak, in the water— but he jumps, no one else. The element is different, and that is all.

(Break at 9:30. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said that the presence of a witness apparently made no difference at all. John of course was not familiar with much of the material. Jane and I both tried to fill him in rapidly on the inner senses, but surprisingly between us we had trouble explaining them. We did not appear to be mentally sharp. John said he felt somewhat the same way. And yet, as Jane observed, sometimes under these conditions the material that comes through from Seth is excellent.

I am very glad that this is not test night. Shall I give you all gold stars? Nevertheless, at least you do remember to some degree. It is not remembering with which we are concerned, however. The inner senses, and this should help Philip, the inner senses deal with direct perception of reality, of inner reality.

All this preliminary chitchat is necessary, I’m afraid. While you still deal with words I must work with words, strung one before the other. Most unfortunate.

(And again, all through this material Jane spoke with very firm emphasis.)

I will also go into this more deeply. You should be able to see now why a concept such as I refer to is difficult to achieve on your plane. You cannot focus upon it thoroughly. When the fourth inner sense is exercised, and I will outline exercises and all three of you would certainly benefit by following my suggestions, you will discover what an idea really is.

You had best avoid such a course as you mentioned; for purely practical reasons it would be disastrous and the results would be felt in all areas of your life. I hesitate to say much more along these lines. I have said that others in sympathy with your ideas will come into influence, and they will influence your head of state.

(“Well, we’re all tired by now, Seth, so I guess we better end it.”
