“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.

(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.

(Jane began dictating in a slightly husky voice, at a fairly rapid rate. Her pacing was brisk; her eyes darkened as usual.)

I mentioned that the change in Ruburt’s features was authentic, and also that what you prefer to call an apparition did indeed exist.

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.

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 this case such clues were not given you. Therefore the construction was only seen by the one person to whom the inner clues were given. The construction was then formed, more or less in faithful replica to the inner data received by Mark.

Mark among other things was given, and received, the impression of an intelligence superior to any you usually experience within your field. In his construction of the apparition therefore, he translated this conception into the large frontal lobes and cranium.

(Break at 9:26. Jane was dissociated as usual. She resumed in the same husky voice at 9:30.)

The construction of the apparition was formed, therefore, by atoms and molecules. The idea behind it came from me, and was received by Mark; and then Mark constructed the apparition, which did in fact physically exist.

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 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.

(Break at 10:00. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she could feel Seth leading up to this point through the last session. She also still felt it would be a short session. My writing hand felt no fatigue.

(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.

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.

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

You were definitely at a low ebb, that had its beginnings before you met Ruburt, being at loose ends in many respects, after the early financial success which was the result of work and expectation.

Again, I am no banker, but you have nothing to worry about, financially, in your purchase of the house. And Ruburt’s suggestion earlier this evening was a translation, and an excellent one, of some generalized advice which I gave him.

(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.)

(“I was just taking it easy on Jane for a change.”

(Already, due to my questions, the session had run well past the period where I was sure Seth would have ordinarily ended it.)

(Note that Seth did not answer this question directly; and I was so busy thinking up questions, writing them down, then taking down the answers, that I did not realize the question went unanswered.

(Jane was still squatting on the arm of the couch. She stared at me, her eyes very dark, her hands on her knees.)

(End at 10:40. Jane was dissociated as usual. My writing hand felt no fatigue.)
