“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had nothing to report from her experiments with psychological time. On Tuesday, 7/28, I missed trying; on Wed., 7/29, 8:15 PM, I had a mild sensation in both my hands and feet, and a slight feeling of both categories being on a somewhat higher level than the rest of my body.

(Jane felt quite tired before the session this evening. She had no idea of the subject matter for it. The weather was much cooler, and Willy napped in his chair. As session time approached Jane was so unenthusiastic that I made her coffee to help pep her up, at her request.

(My writing hand felt no fatigue. During break I mentioned that I wondered whether Seth could tell us what Bill Macdonnel was doing on his vacation on Cape Cod., since we’d had but one card from him some time ago. The three of us had made plans to try some telepathic communication at certain times, but not hearing from Bill had sent these plans awry. See the 68th session, page 219.

I have hinted at the reasons for such errors. Habitual errors become part of the psychological perspective. Communication between individuals in the psychological perspective is almost exclusively telepathic, and is picked up early by the young from their parents. In the beginning, children actually begin their physical construction along lines telepathically received from their parents, at the same time that they learn their own manipulation in the psychological perspective.

I will outline the basic ones with which you need be concerned, at any rate, since there are many others which do not concern you at this time.

The shape of the physical environment, for example, is not static; though it is made of material it is not one thing at one place and within one time, and not something else. That is, the quality that you call environment, and speak of as if it were one thing with one shape and form always, is indeed at various times many things in many places, with you at the focal point.

You therefore at any time, physically, can change what you call your environment physically merely by changing your location. Environment therefore involves not a thing but a perspective that exists in relation to the individual.

(End at 11:03. Jane was dissociated as usual, although she said she was coming out of the state by the time she gave this last material on Bill Macdonnel. I had noticed that she spoke very carefully, almost guardedly, and she confirmed that she had done so, not wanting to make any errors.

(While trying psychological time I had the following experiences:

(Sat. 8/1, 9 PM: I experienced my familiar thrilling sensation in a mild but definite way before and immediately upon lying down. Later, I noted the now familiar feeling of elevation again. First my left foot felt somewhat elevated, then my left hand, and finally the entire left side of my body. This rather pleasant and definite feeling had good duration; at one time I felt as though I was turned to lie upon my right side, so that my left side was raised up. The feeling varied in intensity at times, and along with it I had the thrilling sensation in various limbs.
