“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These suggestions, as you know, were far from extreme. The exercises that I suggested Ruburt take also aid him in utilizing negative ions. Each individual has various ways in which he or she characteristically handles the protoplastic elements of which the physical being is composed.

As far as Ruburt is concerned, uncertainty as to whether or not a session will be held, is disturbing. There will be some circumstances when conditions are not of the best, however, when interruptions may bother. But generally we are beyond such disturbances.

Ruburt picked up energy in this way this afternoon, quite spontaneously, and without conscious consideration.

Ruburt may be nervous initially but this will pass. He is actually learning rather quickly, more quickly than I had anticipated. Again, we work with fine distinctions.

For if I did not get the names through, Ruburt did not distort the material in that instance, so that the record shows that I mentioned a man and a woman, and J. B.

Ruburt, or Jane Butts , in this case was the emotional connection. The test itself involved however a particular photograph that was of Jane Butts at York Beach, and in which the Instreams did not appear. I was not able to make the distinction clear to Ruburt, for it was definitely not a photograph of the Instreams.

However, on the date the test was given the Instreams were at York Beach. Therefore, the two people came through clearly; and specifically I did not say that you and Ruburt, or Jane Butts, were the two people involved. Hardly an exceptional performance, however evocative enough for a start.

In answer to your question, Joseph: both you and Ruburt were subconsciously aware of the Instreams’ location, and it was for this reason that you chose the photograph of York Beach, though you did not consciously realize the connection.

Ruburt is indeed being very cautious. But he is learning to open up more in these tests, to let more information through. The opening up of the channels is the important thing. Oftentimes information will come through in a rather indiscriminate fashion, and a spontaneous (underline spontaneous) choice of available information is important. A variety of impressions may be received, many valid, but not closely connected enough for your purposes. So it is in the area of distinctions that we must work.
