“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The dream of the tree? I do not know if it was merely a dream or not at this point. It was not the same sort of experience as the other you had in connection with a tree. I simply do not know if that particular limb will fall within a specific time. You may have seen its ultimate falling, but this was not the same kind of experience as Ruburt’s seeing the clock.

Even here there are gradations. Consider again Ruburt in one room with his eyes closed, “seeing” the time by a clock in the other room. This clairvoyance is of the easier variety, and yet represents an important step in his development, and should in your own. He was concerned with a camouflage idea, that of time, and clock time at that, the clock itself being a camouflage. Clairvoyantly he merely disentangled himself enough to ignore some camouflage in order to perceive camouflage that lay behind it, and this is a necessary first step.

Ruburt’s experience with the slip of paper represented a clairvoyance, as did his experience with the clock; and clairvoyance is concerned with camouflage pattern. Telepathy for example is not. In further experiences of this kind, Ruburt will be able to “see” (in quotes) more as his ability grows.
