“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The apparition, therefore, was constructed by Mark. You did not see it, Ruburt did not see it, because an individual only sees his own constructions; and in this case the idea data was only given to Mark.

In the case of the apparition, many of these factors were lacking. I purposely short-circuited them very nicely, for my own reasons. Now even though individuals only see their own constructions, as a rule, with the other factors in operation you will appear to see others’ constructions because there will be such a similarity in the various constructions of what appears to be one physical object.

This is what I am leading to. Outer constructions are always translations of actions from inner reality into material. Their validity is dependent upon the individual’s ability to receive inner data, to translate inner data, to manipulate energy, and to construct it onto the material field.

If the data had been received by all of you, you would all have appeared to see more or less the same apparition. You would, of course, have each instead constructed your own apparition, in your own space perspective; and because of the other clues usually given the three apparitions would have seemed to be one, agreeing for all intents and purposes to be similar in terms of appearance, and approximate location.

(“What about those fragments you said Jane and I created at York Beach, Maine, last August? Were they apparitions?”

There is much more I will say here in another session on personal matters. In any case you are learning to erect your own protection. You have both become much more effective along that line.

Ruburt has passed the crisis point as far as his own sphere at the gallery is concerned, for which I am thankful certainly.

This will be important in a later discussion. And pertaining to our imaginary situation concerning the three glasses, you must realize then that each of these three glasses, being valid physical constructions, are composed of atoms and molecules that contain their own capsule comprehension and generalized consciousness.

However, instead of our glasses, please consider a very simple situation: the two of you in this room. Now. Ruburt constructs his own physical image, which is, I hope, obviously conscious. You construct your physical image of Ruburt. Now the question is: What about your construction of Ruburt, which is valid as a material construction. Is it conscious—

—and to what degree? If five people were in this room, then they would each construct, in their own personal perspective, their own image of Ruburt, which would be composed of definite, material, atoms and molecules. You would have five actual physical constructions, plus Ruburt’s own. Do all five constructions, plus Ruburt’s own, contain Ruburt’s consciousness?

(“All right, just one question. What if Jane and I go to York Beach in Maine again, and meet those fragments we created; what will happen, if anything?”)

(“And they would possess their own consciousness, intelligence, and so forth?”)

If they were that thoroughly constructed they would. They would be free from your control, and allowed their own value fulfillment. You might find such a conversation intriguing. However, I do not believe you will see them.

Yes, although I want you to develop your own abilities. Ruburt has been trying too hard lately with psychological time, and trying to make his subconscious function and focus, in the same manner that the conscious mind does.

(“You said earlier that when Willy and the bug created each other, they saw solidity in infrared. Would this apply to their constructions of Jane and I also?”)
