“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Today Jane received an answer to her letter of March 11/64 to the American Society for Psychical Research. A scientist there wondered if Seth could describe him or one of his associates. Jane and I both felt that Seth would not comply, at least at this time. We based this opinion on material already received.

For purposes of sending records to Duke you may be best covered by using two, an operator and a subject. But for your own, or our own purposes, one is sufficient. I do suggest however that you both also work with the cards.

As far as the inner senses are concerned, they merge smoothly, one into the other, operating as a unit in what I will call pure unhampered circumstances. They work that way for me, for example, yet I must attempt to list them separately for you.

This inner sense is not only an important one but is immensely beneficial, and is not misused in any way by those able to use it. Very simply, these senses do not function until they can be handled correctly. This sense in no way involves invasion. It does not imply that one entity can control another. It merely involves direct, instantaneous cognition of the essence of living tissue.

I use the word tissue with some caution. Nevertheless all entities, except for a few important exceptions, are in one way or another enclosed within themselves, and also connected to others by some sort of capsule, and your word tissue would seem to be the closest I can come to this.

As far as inner senses go, it is an extremely basic and rudimentary sense, containing within it the possibility of other inner senses. Although it is one of the most necessary senses, I could not give it to you first since you would not have understood it.

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.

(At 8:45 I walked into the living room to call Jane. She lay quietly on the couch, eyes closed, but in a few minutes told me she was awake. She also told me she had been visited by a most strange sensation; and from her description of it I felt sure it must be an exploration of the inner senses, similar to the one I experience occasionally, which Seth has called the feeling of sound. I thought Jane’s description most remarkable.

(She was not able to give me dates for either occasion. One was perhaps a few months ago, the other probably two or three years ago, she believes. Both were felt upon awakening, and while her eyes were closed. They hadn’t made such an impression on her either time, because although she had felt the expanding of the skull, she had experienced nothing like the strange infinite black within this expanded area.
