“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For reasons that we will mention later, the cat did sense the apparition. Now, I have told you that there are many factors involved in the construction of matter, and I have explained that telepathy and many other factors which I have listed are important.

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.

I meant to mention earlier that regardless of your conscious feelings, the town of Sayre was not a good place for you to live, and a proximity so close with your parents is never advisable, as you know now. Their constructions are extremely faulty and distorted, and telepathically they are bad.

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—

I am now bringing you to the point of primary and secondary constructions. And with this you may take your break.

(I now had Jane take the same spot again. See the floor plan on page 223. I soon discovered that even the pole lamp I always have on furnished enough light to see Jane’s features clearly. Even though this light is on the other side of the bath door, due to reflection from the white walls of the room there was plenty of light. With the light on the room divider on, or the closet light on, the illumination was enhanced. Jane said that after careful thought she felt the closet light was also on during the break at 9:56. I had neglected to check this point at the time of the session.

Now this is the point at which I was leading. And though I know I shall disappoint you, I have decided to close the session.

I will let you take your time in forming more questions, if you prefer. Nevertheless I will add that the low point is now past, and even expectation rises again, as it must. You could have begun serious painting in New York, and if you had done so, you would have also continued and done well in commercial work.

(As far as Jane and I knew, Bill was now on his way to Cape Cod.)

(See the 64th session, page 172. Jane was smiling in a most amused fashion. Again now, she walked over to our couch and squatted down upon one arm of it as she had done in the last session. I wondered if again Seth was keeping her from her cigarettes, which lay on the table before me.)

The difficulty is in the construction of his images on a visual field, rather than in his perception of them. He should be able now to construct such images more faithfully, but habit and conditioning holds back, though the ability to construct images on a visual level has already improved.

I will now close.
