“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Wed. 7/8, I missed trying psychological time. Jane had nothing to report.

(Jane was up from her nap at 8:30 PM. As session time approached she felt a little nervous, yet not very much. By 8:50 PM, Willy was once again prowling through the apartment, both alert and stealthy at the same time. But again, as soon as the session began he calmed down and began to doze in a chair.

For the time being the word will serve, since I know what you mean by it. Of course, it was a valid construction. There is much to be said here. I told you I would use Mark for a demonstration concerning the nature of matter, and so I did.

(Thinking this point over after Monday’s session, I did not recall Willy making any fuss, except for the one time detailed on page 211, during the session.)

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.

It goes without saying that he will not stay at the gallery for any lengthy time in any case, and this is as it should be.

(During this break Jane and I checked one point we had thought of since the last session, and this was the amount of light available in the room during the time Bill Macdonnel and I had noted the change in Jane’s features as she stood in the bathroom doorway.

(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.

For one thing, we ran over last time. For another, I have already covered what I wanted to this evening. For a third, I do not want to overburden you with typing.

Ruburt was supremely right in his intuitions at that time, however, as far as almost forcing you to take a vacation, and far away.

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.

(“I’m just curious. Jane and I have talked about the possibility at times.”)

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.

In fact, cotton soaked in this water, and applied upon the eyelids before psychological time experiments would be the most beneficial. Bathing in the water, as you will of course, will help you both. At some times the temperature of the water will be as low as 58 degrees Fahrenheit.
