“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher were witnesses for tonight’s session, and the session was held in our large front room. Traffic noise was not a problem, the windows being closed because of the cool night. Jane began speaking while sitting in her favorite Kennedy rocking chair. Her eyes were closed, her voice good but not loud, her pace a little fast. She used few pauses, and sat much of the time learning forward with her hands clasped before her and her head tilted down slightly. She began speaking at 8:59.)

It would seem to be that the waking personality could learn much from his sleeping counterpart, and this is indeed the case. Theoretically speaking, and in theory only, anything that a personality can do or achieve in the sleeping state, he can do and achieve in the waking state. The limitations are those adopted by the ego, in many cases for good reason.

(As usual, some of the test material obviously applied, and other statements seemingly did not. By now however we have learned that material in the latter category is not necessarily distorted; it could merely be another example of the sometimes far-reaching impressions that attach themselves to test objects. Seth has said very little about the reasons for this. So we were now curious to learn what application, if any, such statements as four, a masterpiece, a voice, etc., had to the test object. Again see my sketch of the photographic negative on page 255.

Ruburt is still rather nervous in our tests; even with his good friends present, oh he is so frightened! However we are making headway in this respect, and he will learn with experience.
