“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The results when they are received will appear spontaneous. To say “I am weightless,” as Ruburt does, simply reinforces the idea of bulk, and should be discarded. Your vacation will help, and you should really be carefree and relax if possible as children do.

While it does appear spontaneously, a good deal of conditioning and expectation is behind it, and your subconscious mind brings it forth. A somewhat similar loss of the props can also be achieved by partial immersion in an idea with which you are already familiar, as a stepping stone; and this is really what contemplation is.

The idea should be an abstract philosophical concept. This at least, can be done by initial conscious intent. Contemplation of an abstract nature often leads further into valid psychic experience. You may try this for a change of pace. There must always be a balance between necessary conditioning, ritual and habit, and spontaneity, freedom, and what we will call instantaneous psychic relaxations.

The spontaneity of psychic experience cannot be stressed too strongly, and you will find it again following these directions I have given you. They represent the second step, as the initial experiments in psychological time represented the first.

Spontaneous attempts, rather spontaneous sessions on your own, may be beneficial if they are not overdone. I will not say more on this, this evening.
