“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

However, you have both learned how to deal with annoying situations, and you are better equipped now. Ruburt does block me on gallery material. At this stage personal blocking of this sort is stronger during such situations, and this is entirely natural.

(And here again, Seth in the above paragraph immediately set about answering the questions that came to my mind.)

Although a discussion of constructions that are not material to your way of seeing things does not belong in a study of matter, nevertheless the two are connected, and I want you to understand that matter represents only those constructions which are perceivable through the outer senses.

Again, the only main difference between material and immaterial constructions is that immaterial constructions are not perceived by the outer senses. These immaterial constructions include among others dream constructions, and also certain intangible, necessary constructions upon which the material worlds rest.

A few of these could be said to rest midway between matter and immaterial constructions. Some of these cannot be touched, as a table can be touched, and yet are perceivable indirectly within the material world.

Perspectives lie in this grouping, and other spacial directives. These are utilized in the material universe, but they do not actually exist in it in the same way that, say, a rock or chair does. They represent mediums in which action can occur. Material objects are indeed actions, literally without specific beginning or end, the action being continuous.

It is you who change the apparent form of the action, and give the form a name. It is you who arbitrarily recognize a portion of an action as any particular material object. There are many actions which you do not recognize because you do not perceive them.

All actions in one way or another continue. It is only the outer senses which cannot perceive what does not fall into their own domain. When you perceive an action with your outer senses, you call it material if it is, or if it appears to be, static.

(It will be remembered that Seth stated an art gallery experience was in the cards for Jane many sessions ago—back somewhere in the beginning sessions. At the time Seth also said that had we settled in Miami, Florida, as we considered doing a few years ago, Jane would have worked in a gallery there. He gave some street locations with this information, but we did not try to check it out.)

(Break at 10:05. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said that Seth had fooled her, that after drinking the wine and relaxing because of it during last break, she realized Seth wanted her to.

(Jane pounded upon the table for Seth.)

(Because she had been upset by the gallery situation, Jane at this point wished aloud that Seth could help her out as to what the future held; this is something we have scrupulously refrained from doing in any serious way, yet this time we sincerely felt we could use all the help we could get. Even so, we made no formal requests of Seth during break. Jane resumed as before at 10:31.)

All of our material should be of great practical value. Remember that the subconscious is at the outer end of the inner senses, and the inner senses create physical constructions. Once you learn how to handle and communicate with your subconscious, then you will be able to create more constructive constructions—

(To my way of thinking, this is one of the most significant bits of information to come out of the Seth material.)

I am going to end the session early. I consider it a most fruitful one. However, much of it was given to personal situations, and there is not time in any case for me to launch into other data on material this evening.

I very cleverly lulled Ruburt’s ego into a false sense of security, from its standpoint, and then it did not block me nearly as much as I thought it might. Ruburt will definitely benefit, and so will you if after reading this material you give him your idea concerning the situation. I have given you both an understanding of the basic situation, so that you will have it at hand to form your own decision.

(“Good night, Seth.”

(This material is inserted into the record here because it is dealt with briefly by Seth in the following session, the 68th.

(Jane received most of the above answer mentally, before the board spelled it out. She had also received some other answers in a like manner; and for the balance of the session she knew in advance many of the answers. Yet she did not hear Seth, or any other voice; as with the Thomas Voghler Ouija session, pages 186-7, the answers popped into her mind.

(“Do you know Seth, Tom Roberts?”)

Seth is the best. Croneys.

(“The other night Seth said he didn’t know Thomas Voghler.”

(I was groping on the spur of the moment. What I meant of course was that if Thomas Voghler and Tom Roberts were friends, and if Seth now knew Tom Roberts, then Seth would also know Thomas Voghler, or at least of him.)

(“Do you know Seth, Tom Roberts?”)

(“In what year did Seth die?”)

(“The time you and Seth were friends here on earth.”)

(“Are you an entity like Seth?”)

(“Are you also an educator like Seth?”)

(“Is Seth your teacher, or one of them?”)

(“Does Seth know you are contacting us now?”)

(“Have you, Uarek, been with Seth when he has been with us?”)

(“Can you tell us what Seth is thinking about your experience with us now?”)

(9:00 PM: This might be called the Louisiana episode. I am somewhat unsure of this, and will have to wait for Seth’s explanation. Unfortunately I did not retain all of it upon leaving the desired state. It took me at least a day to recall what I am now putting down.

(I do not know whether I finished or not; I have the feeling George Marshall promised to contact me. [It will be remembered that Seth had instructed Jane and me to ask this of whomever we managed to contact during psychological time.]
