“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

(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.)

I am doing my best to help clear the basic situation so that at least you will know the reasons behind it, and perhaps you can help Ruburt make a decision accordingly. It is true also, as he knows, that the Florida incident frightened him enough so that he will not leave a job unless he is almost forced into it.

Here is a small note that Ruburt blocked earlier concerning you, Joseph. This fear also struck you, and had much to do with your outward acceptance of your job as it stood before you made a change, and a beneficial one, involving it.

The money actually has little to do with it here, as far as the basic problem is concerned. Ruburt subconsciously wanted more money to make up for the lack of independence, or rather the taking away of independence. More pay will of course help generally but will not begin to make up for the basic situation, if it is not changed.

(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.)

I do not see any serious difficulty ahead for you. Regardless of knowledge, no life is without problems, but if these problems are considered as challenges the way will be much easier.

I do not believe that you have, that either of you have, progressed far enough to take on faith my contention that it is safe to buy your house. I can tell you that it is, but it is best that I do not push you in any direction, and that you act naturally in your own speed.

Name had to do with Snopes (yes).

(“What do you mean by that?”)

(“Did you know, or do you know, Thomas Voghler?”

(“What are you doing where you are now?”)

(“Do you know Seth, Tom Roberts?”)

(Three times the pointer moved to the above word on the board. Both of us were surprised. Joking, I asked Jane what she was doing to the pointer.

(“Do you know Seth, Tom Roberts?”)

(“What do you think of the experience?”)

(“What do you mean by that?”)

(“What town is this? Where do you live?”

(George Marshall did name the state, Louisiana, and for some reason I had no difficulty retaining this. I did not doubt this or my memory of it. I do know, somehow, that the town I cannot recall is located in the northwest corner of the state of Louisiana.

(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.]
