“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I mentioned the other evening that we would also deal in practicalities, and that everything concerning our discussions did not have to be taken on faith alone.

When I spoke of practicalities I meant direct experiences of a vivid nature, experience that would be at least as legitimate and valid as more ordinary sensual data. Of course this involves training on your part but you are coming along well.

Ruburt’s experience last night was along these lines. For a brief moment he “saw” (in quotes) as clearly without opening his eyes as he would ordinarily see by using them. But in this instance the vision was much better, you must admit, than it is with ordinary eyesight, since the clock that Ruburt saw well enough to tell the time was not even in the same room.

It is however one of the most basic, and without it at least two inner senses would be extremely hampered. These two are those concerned with what we may call for now transportation. When we are finally finished with our skeleton outline on the inner senses, then I will go into those that are the most important, basic and necessary. I have not given the inner senses to you in the order of their importance, but merely in the order that would be the simplest for you to understand.

You have no idea of the bulk of the material on the inner senses that is still to be covered, and until you have learned much more about them we cannot even begin any real discussion of many other units of activity, because it would be incomprehensible.

I have also slowed down now and then to enable you to write more comfortably. If these efforts on my part to make things easier are not appreciated, then I can speed up as fast as you would like.

(Break at 10:05. Jane was dissociated as usual. By now we were both tired. Jane yawned and remarked that if she could be out until the end of the session she would be quite happy. This upset me, mostly because I felt the same way myself. I also felt the sessions were threatened, though I did not say so, but Jane instantly sensed my mood. When she began dictating again her pace was as slow and deliberate as before, her voice normal. Resume at 10:13.)

Because of your own inner visual ability you should be able to have experiences along these lines yourself without too much difficulty, the only danger in your case being perhaps a possible tendency to draw in, so to speak, extra material to complete a visual composition. After a few such experiences however you would not run into this difficulty.

(I then explained that I had felt that she wasn’t too interested either, whereupon Jane explained that by her remark about passing out until the end of the session, she meant she would like to be dissociated until its end; while in this state, she said, she did not feel fatigue. Thus she meant she could do a better job in delivering the material. I had misinterpreted her.

These sessions represent quite an accomplishment on both of your parts, and you do use your inner senses to some important degree. Otherwise the material would not come through with any dependability. We have here what amounts to a gestalt of a kind. It is natural that your energies rise and ebb, and this is to be expected. To some degree I am able to reinforce your energies, and I do as you may have suspected.

I wish you both a most pleasant good evening. I would suggest that you both learn to listen and to watch in a detached fashion that will allow the inner senses to operate in a beneficial fashion.
