“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane said she thinks her practice with psychological time experiments had much to do with the ease with which she put herself into a good state, since she achieved it in about five minutes. Nor were her gums sore at all afterwards.

(Jane also had another success involving her cooperating subconscious. Last Saturday afternoon she lost a package downtown while shopping. It was late in the day before she discovered this, and she just had time to make the rounds of the stores, all of whom reported nothing found and turned in. At home that evening she questioned her subconscious with the old pendulum technique, and learned she had left the package in the dressing room of a certain store—one which had already said no package had been found.

(Jane called the store Monday, and was told the package had been found. I drove her down to the store for it Monday evening. She plans to use these two experiences in her ESP book. Jane tells me that she now has little talks with her subconscious, requesting its help. I have been experimenting also with subconscious communication, at times with excellent results, and also using the permissive “I can” approach, rather than the commanding “I will” approach.

Later you will not need the pendulum. The habit of communication will then operate without it. All the information, for example, that I gave you earlier, very much earlier, concerning say your refrigerator, and the unsuitability of its location at that time, such details could have been received through the pendulum.

There are also for example, times of the month when you are both more actively inclined toward various activities, and less inclined toward others. Such periods can be discovered through the pendulum.

The ego thwarts the subconscious often out of mere perversity, to prove its superiority. You might also ask the pendulum, or the subconscious through the pendulum, about the times of the month, if any, when you may be more open to psychic phenomena. But here, check with me concerning the answers that you receive.

I am usually able to escape the personal subconscious area in general. However, as you know I speak only for convenience, for there are no real barriers to separate these layers. They are simultaneous areas, that merge one into the other. For an analogy you may say that upon some occasions, though few, Ruburt’s personal subconscious layer expands so that I must travel through portions of it, and at other times it contracts and bothers me not at all.

Translations, and faithful ones, of my communications are constantly made by a certain portion of his inner self. Nor is your capacity here a passive one. Your psychic energies help him make these translations. At times you join together to enlarge your psychic environment, allowing me to come within its limits.

Therefore, to some extent we are part of one vast sphere of action; and it is relatively more easy, therefore, for us to communicate. You in particular, Joseph, can benefit through the development of an easy access of communication with your own personal subconscious. Our Ruburt is indeed at times heavy-handed. At times he badgers you, but his remarks concerning the importance and indeed the strength of joy, should be well taken.

Again, I recommend that you continue your walks, and that Ruburt put his psychological time experiments once more on a regular basis.
