“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.

(“Would you rather call it something else?”)

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.

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.

—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?

(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.

Many things could happen. You have nothing to fear certainly, and the peculiar circumstances will not reoccur. I should hope that the apparitions would not occur; and if they did, they would represent your fear of what they once stood for, and would not be the threats that they were originally, but after-images, so to speak.

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.

(“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.

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.

I would suggest a simple method for a while, of simply lying down, relaxing, and letting his thoughts stray where they will. This will allow inner data to come through more easily.

(“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?”)

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

I, of course, would suggest “the house of Seth” as a fitting name for your new residence. This might lead to embarrassing questions, so you may do what you wish.

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

Bathing the lids would be sufficient.

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.

Ruburt’s eyeglasses will shortly need changing, since he insists upon using them. The use of them, however, would not be necessary if he would utilize the healing abilities which he possesses.
