“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Here Seth surprised us by referring to one of our little efforts of last Monday evening, after the session. In this experiment, we sat at a bare table in the dimly-lit room. On the table lay Jane’s ring, an inch from an ashtray. Our objective was to focus our psychic energies together and move the ring until it struck or touched the ashtray. From various information Seth has given us, I believe such things are possible at times, and Jane agrees. This time however, Jane quickly became impatient for some reason, and literally commanded the ring, mentally, to move. Of course it did not.)

Now here; this end, seemingly, to his mind could be achieved in no other more ordinary way. Whether the end could have been achieved in another way makes no difference. Emotionally he did not think or believe that it could be. This added to the strength with which he focused his abilities; and I will have more to say concerning this attitude, which often but not always accompanies such psychic manipulations, even ordinary ones of which you are not aware.

(Here, Jane’s voice abruptly boomed out, very loud, so loud it startled me. She herself gave no sign of surprise or strain. For a few sentences she continued in this deeper and stronger voice; then, as though she had been merely practicing, her voice began to soften.)

I have decided to tackle this to some degree here and now.

(Here Willy, who had been quiet all evening, now began to chase after Jane as she paced back and forth. Without breaking delivery Jane tried to shoo him away; but the cat persisted, so Jane finally stopped talking and pointed to the cat. I deposited him in another room and shut the door.)

He is not human in your terms, though he passed through human stages; and here the Buddhist’s myth comes closest to approximating reality. He is not one individual, in your terms, but is a psychic gestalt, an energy gestalt.
