“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am going to give you some more material concerning our discussion of matter, but first I would like to make one comment.

The whole thing should be handled on a subconscious level, so that he seems to automatically prepare himself in advance in response to an inner knowledge as to whether or not witnesses will arrive. That is, I can let him know; but overly conscious preoccupation blocks him from knowing.

(Jane paused by the windows, looking down the rather large room to the door. I lay my board aside. As I did the door opened and the Pipers entered quietly. Neither of them had attended a session before, but Jane had made arrangements that they were to enter without knocking if they arrived after 9 PM.

(Jane then resumed; but now her voice was much stronger and some-what deeper, quite different from the easygoing tone and volume she had used to open the session.)

The atoms and molecules, energy in matter, appear and disappear instantaneously. Energy constantly is constructed into the guise of matter, but matter is the simultaneous expression of energy under certain conditions.

I have not known either of your guests before, but then I do not have to. I am not the nervous one. It is Ruburt who constantly, and oftentimes bull-headedly, blocks what I have to say.

He once, and not purposely, broke a man’s back in an accident involving horses. There was no deep guilt involved. Nevertheless in the woman’s existence he passed by a feeling of guilt. This time he mends people’s backs, but this is not the only connection.

The craft carried merchandise but not spices, rather perhaps cotton. There was also a soldier’s rather superstitious existence, in an involvement during the Crusade period, where if I may say so, men were driven like fools, and sometimes brainless idiots, in fine pursuit of an idea of God which they could neither conceive or construct.

There is still a tendency here to depend perhaps overmuch on intuitions which are basically sound; but such a dependence must go hand in hand with the discipline of which I have spoken. The death occurred in desert. It happened very close to Lepanto. He was then in his late fifties, and left two women. Not one. Also one son and four daughters.

There is much more along these lines. I believe he sent a message to one woman by a young man, and the message was not delivered. This will not mean much to his present personality on a conscious level, but the fact that the message was not delivered will mean much to the inner self, for that previous personality had set store by it.

I will suggest a short break. And incidentally, I have not forgotten the party, of which I have said already too much. I feel that after so many dry and studious sessions I owe you a night to remember, but I shall keep my dignity, and you may worry about your own.

Examination of the back of the painting would show nothing. The elements of the painting would expand in the same way that I have told you the universe expands, in a way that has nothing to do with space but of value fulfillment, which has its own kind of depth and perspective, and which exists not only behind but within the construction of matter.

I certainly do appreciate, and indeed do enjoy, your lively discussions. And I do indeed recall Ruburt’s rather daring, but more nearly stupid, blunderings into his first deep trance.

I will now close the session, somewhat early by a few moments or so, and again I would suggest that your visitors read as much material as possible. They are of course welcome to any session, but a familiarity with the material will add to the benefit that can be received by witnessing a live session; and indeed, I can be a lively one. I have been in my time quite reprobate. Ruburt does not allow me much leeway at present. I will now bid you all a fond good evening. Your psychological time experiments should go better next week.
