“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once again throughout the session Jane delivered the material while sitting down, and with her eyes closed. Her voice remained rather quiet. Occasionally her delivery slowed down, but seemingly in compensation it would then speed up. She did not smoke during the session, and her glasses were off.)

It is difficult to explain this to you, since old concepts must be used in a new way. But in this electrical system a travel through time would merely involve a journey through intensities. This has many implications, as you should see when you read it.

To speak of backward and forward is meaningless. There are only various electric pulsations of varying intensities, from strong intensity to ever stronger, to weaker, to fading and again to stronger ever stronger. Since strong intensities are indeed natural results of weaker intensities, it would be meaningless to call one present and one past. Yet within your physical field, and with physical time, you ride the waves of these pulsations, so to speak.

The distance occurs within the intensity of an action within the electrical field, as to say, you could fall into depths of intensity. The falling into would itself involve action. The action as it happened, then, falling through the intensity, would be falling into what I mean by distance. Dreams have this kind of distance. Again, as a simple analogy, in a dream you may travel down a road. This involves distance in essence, although within your physical universe the particular road does not exist, so that spatially no distance would exist.

I mean that the distance would not exist spatially, but the distance would exist. Action within the electrical system, then, would involve this same sort of distance without space; the road would then be an imaginary road of intensity.

Now, I would like to make some comments concerning your own experiments.

Many effects are built up in this manner. Any personalities, any entities, that do enter your physical plane must use some camouflage material if they are to be physically perceived. In such circumstances Ruburt would act as a sort of director, gathering together the subconscious energies of those with you, and making those energies available to any possible entity.

The energies would be transformed literally into electric patterns, which such an entity could then use. But many conditions are necessary for this transformation.

Holding hands is most helpful. The feet, however, are also significant in placement. The best arrangement when possible physically would be to have each individual sit with his feet together; and if possible a circle being made also with the feet, or at least an arrangement where the feet touched.

All of this takes development. And, again, rather than force an intensification before the subconscious is ready for such experiences, I would much prefer that you carry on as you have been, at your own pace. There will be failures. This is to be expected, but you will learn from your mistakes, as well as from your successes.

There will be an interaction good for you both. It was natural for him to want to continue, under the circumstances, but to continue would not have been wise. You will learn to feel your way.
