“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I see that we are quite alone. The session should be quiet. I am pleased with your letter. I see that you have it out on the desk for me, as if it was an apple for the teacher. I’ll take some bite of it.

At this point it would be difficult for Ruburt to know of the possibility of such a demonstration before any particular session. I am not ruling out for now any foreknowledge on Ruburt’s part.

I mean any such performance as suggested in your letter from the Psychic Society. What I do I will do. I am saying that I do not want Ruburt’s consciousness involved beforehand, and the nervous strain on Ruburt’s part of wondering how such events will come to pass must also be avoided.

I may make this a short session, since Ruburt is somewhat indisposed, and after all I am not that much of a taskmaster. But if I do make it a brief session, then I will have you exercise your abilities with the ESP cards until the ordinary ending of the session. So you will not get off scot-free.

Only in this case the dramatization provides its own actors. I am going to leave further discussion of this sense until some later session, when after additional material you will be able to understand it more thoroughly. And again remember that these senses, these inner senses, operate as a whole, and that at least to some degree the divisions between them are somewhat arbitrary on my part, and are made for the sake of simplicity.

(Break at 10:01. Jane said she was more dissociated this time. She also felt better. However I had to ask her to repeat several phrases, and thought she was tired. I felt somewhat that way also; indeed, we have often wondered whether I too am in a light trance while Seth is around. At times I have been aware of a feeling very similar to the pleasant, easygoing state I first became acquainted with when Jane hypnotized me.

I want to show you how form can be changed, even on your own plane, and give you clear examples here so that you will see how in the inner reality universe, vitality can and does change its form at will. This may sound difficult but I hope that it will be plain when I am done.

I am mentioning this material in the same session with the fifth inner sense so that you will finally understand that use of the fifth inner sense is not actually as strange as you may have thought it to be.

Now again, understand that I am breaking down an extremely complex concept into piecemeal data. There are again extremely subtle differences at times between these inner senses, although at either end of the scale there is great distinction.

The material I am giving you here is very fragmentary. However, I want the outline to go along, and I will always continue to fill in. This sixth inner sense is so important that this material should be read thoroughly, as it will end up as one of the basic parts of our material, from which many other important discussions will follow.

Frank Watts made a few stabs in that direction, and almost got severely wounded. In any case I am sure you know my answer. Financial gain is perfectly all right. However, this material is not to be used for that kind of financial gain.

If we did that kind of thing once, and if Ruburt let it come through undistorted, theoretically our material would consist of stock reports. Everyone would want to know how to beat the market, and the material would quickly disintegrate. The knowledge is what I am trying to get across to you, and anyone who is ready and able to receive it. Too bad for the poor doctor.

And now I am going to give you an unheard of bonus, and close the session a trifle earlier, since Ruburt has been indisposed, and yet did not refuse to hold the session. Also because I got through the material I wanted to give you already. However, you know me, and I will make up the small difference in time. The material itself this evening was rather complex and Ruburt did allow it to come through, for which I shall give him the proverbial gold star.

I enjoyed the session myself very much, and am pleased that we could get this material through now. I had thought earlier that you would not be ready for it until a later time. I do hate as always to leave you—

Since I am leaving you a bit earlier, perhaps I will drop around for a short time before our next session.

Again, I am pleased with your added ability to understand your parents, Joseph. You are the apples of my eye, you two.
