“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At noon today Jane told me she thought Seth would give us a short session, because of the extraordinary one of Monday, 7/6. This was to help me get caught up on all the typing.

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.

This is very true. Such a seeming intrusion as an apparition into the physical field represents something that must be dealt with, to you; and when the unfamiliar takes physical shape it becomes much more alarming, to most people, than even a strange idea, which after all does not seem so real in a physical way.

I have also said that all constructions are composed of atoms and molecules, but their action may be at such different speeds that you are not aware of them on the physical plane. I am leading up to a rather important point that will take a good deal of explaining.

It was composed of actual matter. As you should know, like all other atoms and molecules, its atoms and molecules had capsule comprehension, generalized consciousness. They formed themselves at Mark’s instigation into a gestalt of physical construction; but the gestalt could not operate consistently or endure for any amount of physical time, in your field, because of the absence here of the greater data which is the property of the whole self, in its construction of a completed human form. This will take some reading over. Certain conditions, which we will discuss at length later, are necessary for a completely valid or effective materialization into human form.

I have told you they were fragments, and if you will reread the material in the light of the newer material on matter, then the whole incident will become more plain to you. I also will tie these discussions in with their strong connection with expectation, as the involvement here is extremely practical in everyday terms; and though it may seem at first to be Pollyanna, it certainly is not, and in many cases much training is necessary before proper attitudes can be achieved. In all cases without exception, fear leads to defective constructions, and the cycle is vicious.

You are covered in many ways that you were not covered in the past, and this is to your advantage. Any construction at all on your field, or on another, has consciousness to some degree. Consciousness however, may not always show the same characteristics that you are used to, and in many cases it will not be perceived by you.

—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?

Do they contain different consciousnesses, or are they conscious at all?

(“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?”)

I would by all means suggest some kind of vacation, and/or weekend excursions of some sort, as they will be most beneficial, particularly for Ruburt.

(“Well, we’ll get every friend we’ve got all together there in the living room, have a session, and you can explain it all to them at once.”)

Twice a day would be excellent. If I know Ruburt, twice a week will be all I can expect.

(It might be added here that although question and answer passages are entertaining, they are difficult for me to conduct. I do not miss any of the material, yet am forced to go at top speed in order to get it all. I usually note a few words giving the meaning of the question itself, then concentrate on taking down the answer verbatim. Short answers from Seth interrupt the rhythmic flow of the material, as far as recording it goes. I have also found that generally much less material is gathered, and it is less detailed. Usually though, I can see that such passages are most amusing to Seth/Jane.
