“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(While Jane was reading over the 42nd session this morning after breakfast, the word disentanglement came to her mind. This, she believes, is the eighth inner sense, making possible transportation and levitation; Seth has briefly referred to these two being dependent upon another inner sense.

(While napping at about 4:00 PM, for a very brief moment Jane experienced the feeling she has described as infinite blackness, or enlargement. See page 309 [in Volume One of The Early Sessions]. It came while she was still awake; she had just relaxed and her eyes were closed. This evening Willy behaved admirably, sleeping through the whole session. It was a warm and windy spring night, very beautiful, and during the session one of the living room windows was open.

(Jane dictated in a voice just a bit stronger than normal; she paced at an average rate, her eyes darkened as usual. She began talking a little faster than she had the two previous sessions. She was nervous as usual before the session began.)

I told Ruburt that he wasn’t pregnant, so now I expect that our sessions will be a little smoother again now that he is relieved of the big question. I must say that his discipline was admirable, and that I myself gave him much aid. The sessions themselves have helped Ruburt develop discipline.

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.

Ruburt was right. We shall call the eighth inner sense the sense of disentanglement; and it is one of the most basic inner senses. Complete disentanglement comes rarely on your plane, although it is possible to achieve it with training. Variations occur but usually some remnant of camouflage data is retained.

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.

(Break at 9:26. Jane was fairly dissociated. Seth’s reference to wild spring weather probably came because while delivering the above material Jane paused often before the open living room window. It was indeed a beautiful night.

(We discussed some recent dreams we had had; and while doing so Jane stood up and abruptly began dictating again. Her voice was normal, her delivery slow. Resume at 9:30.)

The universe is expanding in the way that a dream expands. In other words this expansion has nothing to do with your (underline) idea of space. The expansion, in a most basic manner, is more like the expansion of an idea. It has nothing to do with space or time in the manner in which you are accustomed to think of them. I told you earlier that your scientist’s idea of an expanding universe was in error, although in one important sense the universe was expanding, and this is what I referred to.

(Break at 9:58. Jane was dissociated—way out, she said. Also her hands felt fat again. She wears two rings, one on each fourth finger. Both came off easily, normally. Now she could not remove her wedding ring at all; the other ring finally came off at the expense of a bruised knuckle.

(Break at 10:32. Jane was dissociated as usual. Resume at 10:38.)

(Break at 11:00. Jane was dissociated as usual. Once again we discussed a subject we hoped Seth would mention after break. This time it was Jane’s clairvoyant experience of April 10. See page 1. Jane resumed dictation in a normal voice at 11:05.)

The piece of paper was, as he saw it, written in the hand of Durosha Piry. It was on a desk. The notation mentioned your name, along with other names of artists whose works were under consideration by that woman to be placed in business offices.

The notation was on a desk in the woman’s apartment, and Ruburt had not seen it, and was not familiar with it in the ordinary fashion. I will not go into this any more deeply now, because your name was involved, Joseph. Ruburt “saw” (in quotes) the slip of paper, and he was not able to read the rest of it simply because your name was not mentioned again and there was no further information on the paper; merely names, and he had no more emotional incentive.

Joking aside, you will no longer feel put upon at Artistic, and perhaps you can see now that it would have been perfectly acceptable to have made your demand for more money at a much earlier date, since the demand was certainly justified for value received.

(End at 11:32. Jane was dissociated as usual. She still had a trace of enlargement in her hands, and could not get her wedding ring off. And I had a trace of enlargement in my right hand.)
