“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Both Jane and I have lately begun to practice psychological time regularly, if only for a few minutes each day. For myself I have nothing yet to report; and as previously noted, Jane has had some success at various times with what are usually quite brief flashes of insight.

You are both, with my invaluable help, coming along very well. Your attitudes toward the outside world have certainly improved. Ten minutes of your clock time a day would certainly be of great value in the use of psychological time, and I suggest that you try this.

Concentrating upon your own camouflage universe, you are able to distinguish only the distortive pattern, and from this pattern you deduce your ideas of cause and effect, past, present and future, and ideas of an expanding universe that bloats. Consciousness takes up no space nor is it enclosed by time, as you know time. The camouflage patterns that seem to enclose consciousness are temporary, for short term only, and for limited but necessary purpose.

(Break at 9:32. Jane was dissociated as usual. By the time break arrived she was speaking in a rather normal voice. Resume at 9:35.)

The actual telepathy contact with this alien intelligence will occur, your time I believe, not too far distant, perhaps by the year 2001. However, for reasons that I will not go into, a hitch will develop of which your scientists will not be aware, at least in your terms. The intelligence that you contact will no longer inhabit that same universe by the time that the contact is made.

I hope to try with you methods of energy transference divorced from or divested from hypnotism as such. This will be one of our experiments together and will not be too far in the future. When the time comes we three will try together. In the meantime preparation includes a systematic and scheduled use of psychological time.

I will never either suggest or condone a wholesale letting go of outer personality defenses. I am attempting to build up your outer personalities in their dealings with the outside world, while at the same time teaching the inner self spontaneity and freedom. This is quite a project.

(Break at 10:23. I was of course aware that regular break time had passed some while ago. For one thing, my right hand was quite cramped. Indeed it was almost painful, and I would have been forced to call a halt soon in any case. I also believe that while taking down part of the above material I was in something of a light trance state; sometime after our regular break period had passed, I seemed to become aware that I had been writing steadily without any awareness, or very little, of the material I was taking down.

(This time Jane really pounded upon my desk, smiling as she did so. I replied that I was glad we were all in fine form; and instead of breaking, Jane once more pounded the table, then continued in a most vehement and pleased manner. Her eyes were very dark, her voice strong.)

You could do much better too. Relax, let go. You are like a donkey too, but I will pull your tail. Soon I will have you at the point where your fingers will feel no fatigue, and then I will make up for lost time.

Without your confidence and intuitive affirmation, much of this material would be blocked on Ruburt’s part, Joseph, and Ruburt depends strongly upon inner strengths that you possess, and of which you are mainly ignorant. We will go into the mechanisms involved in our gestalt at a later time, and we will make the whole matter plain.

I am trying to develop Ruburt’s abilities so that he does not use his own nervous energy in these sessions because, oh, he would squawk if he was tired and did not get his own writing time in.

The use of psychological time is a basic necessity for any experiment. Such use of psychological time is extremely important, since it enables the personality to bypass physical laws to a large extent; and also, and this is important, bypass certain chemical reactions that would ordinarily occur, and tend to overtax the physical structure.

These sessions represent what you might call previews of eternity, in that you are to some extent receptors of thought that is not hampered by time, and of a companionship that has not ceased with the stirring of the centuries, and with a valid emotional relationship that has escaped the camouflage aspect of physical reality.

I am going slow so as not to frighten you. When you have witnesses, effects and knowledge will be displayed. I do not want to end the peacefulness of our quiet and intimate sessions, and never will suggest that they all be witnessed. Nevertheless, witnesses will prove an asset when you feel ready, and suitable ones are found. By all means experiment with psychological time, both of you, for there confidence is to be found.

(She was therefore moved from the hospital on Saturday, April 18. Miss Callahan’s condition showed the following symptoms: erratic behavior, yelling, screaming, throwing things, trying to get out of bed. [She has been tied in bed for some time now.]

(Miss Dineen said that at times, even in the rest home, Miss Callahan will have brief periods of comparative lucidity.
