“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

If an action seems to be capable of motion, you say the action is alive. When your outer senses no longer perceive motion you call the action a dead one. In all cases however, action continues.

It appears that you create the action. For all intents and purposes you create the action, but actually you are really utilizing action and merely constructing it into terms that the outer senses can perceive.

(Jane now paused in her delivery, which had become progressively slower, and I wondered if this would be all she would allow to come through on the subject.)

(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—

We were all psychics, family and friends in group.

(“Well, it looks like you should all know each other if you were cronies.”

(This time, the pointer did begin to move, quite slowly. It gradually picked up speed while Jane wrote down each letter it paused over. No sense emerged from the series. It might be added here that out of a whole page of strings of letters, there were no instances of accidental spellings of words—not even short words like to, as, but, is, on, etc. It was almost as though either the pointer or myself deliberately chose to produce nothing at all recognizable.

(Jane then tried the board alone; on it she had raised Thomas Voghler by herself, last week. Tonight it would not work at all for her. As a last resort we once again tried the board together; and almost immediately it began to respond. Resume at 11:48.)

(Later, I heard an unidentified voice say from below the field of vision of my right eye, “George, Allan is quite concerned—” or words to that effect. The sentence was left unfinished; at least I didn’t hear it all.

(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.

(Then, I was directly above a parked car, an older type of sedan with a rounded gray roof. Looking down upon this car, I saw a wiry youngish man in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled above his elbows; hurriedly, he was circling the car, going all around it and peering into the windows. I could not see if the car was on a highway, in a driveway, or where.

(My correspondent had thick brown hair, a slim muscular build, a wide generous worried mouth, a squarish jaw. Each time he spoke to me, I saw him all alone, as on a large milky-white screen. The screen cut him off at the waist, and was large in proportion to the size of the man. Each time he spoke, he seemed to lean into view on the screen from the lower right, and remained leaning somewhat as he spoke. My viewpoint had also lowered itself, though not to his level.

(Sat. 7/4, 10:30 PM: Few results. Once I seemed to be lying flat and looking straight up at a series of American flags, peeling down off a great roll of them. They were all upside down.
