“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do not intend to let Ruburt in on any of my plans or intentions, as far as demonstrations are concerned. It is much better all around if he be kept clear of such knowledge. The last session with your friend went off extremely well, and I hope that he follows my advice. If Ruburt had known what was in my mind, he would have been nervous and self-conscious.

Therefore I cannot tell you in advance of any such demonstrations, and in the case of my advice to Philip the slight demonstration of what you would call, I suppose, clairvoyant knowledge had two purposes.

(“Just what do you mean when you speak of demonstrations? Or don’t you want to say?”)

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.

You, Joseph, are definitely improved as far as your relationships are concerned. Now I can tell you that you safely navigated through what could have been a most difficult winter season. Not only did you come through without the possible bruises, but you have gained in stature, understanding and ability. I hope that this will make up for all the yelling I did earlier.

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.

For example as I have said, the fourth or conceptual sense ignores what you call past, present and future, and so can appreciate a concept in its entirety, can actually experience the concept in much the same manner that you might work out an idea through a drama, if you follow me.

The fifth inner sense carries us further along in this direction, and involves what I will call cognition of the knowledgeable essence. This sense differs from the fourth inner sense in that it does not involve the cognition of a concept.

Now this certainly sounds not only unbelievable from your point of view, but probably undesirable, and if so I appreciate and understand your reactions. However, I certainly cannot let possible unfavorable reactions on your part govern what material I give you.

In actuality molecular structures and patterns are not rigid. They merely appear so from your viewpoint. Nor are they imposed from without. Vitality gives itself a shape and form. The form does not impose itself upon the vitality. Therefore it is not strange to consider the possibility of changing form at will, and this is exactly what happens basically in the universe.

In a much more simple manner, however. You make your own camouflage universe as I have told you. The growth of a disability, say the appearance of an ulcer, is the introduction of another camouflage reality to the physical body. Something that was not there suddenly is there, and in your physical universe. And while this may be a poor analogy, the ulcer represents a creation of something new to the physical structure.

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.

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.

(Our doctor friend, last week, had half-jokingly suggested Jane and I see what Seth would have to say about the market. Jane and I were so sure Seth would turn thumbs down on the idea that we had not asked the question.)
