“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I will be very quiet this evening. Our energy will go into other matters.

The field that connects the personality to this kind of pseudoimage is actually formed by extensions of psychic energy. Imagine it, the field, if you will, as a thin but sturdy thread that connects the pseudoimage with the original image. There are some limitations here then as to range. These are not basic limitations, but have to do with the individual’s ability to so extend himself. Many dreams involve such roamings on the part of the personality while it is within this sort of pseudoimage.

The Jane ego stands further aside. There is an emotional rapport that also carries Ruburt along when my spirits or moods then also sweep him along; and again the Jane ego is content to stand aside. My emotional makeup comes to the foreground at times, of course. Energy is used for such demonstrations, so that it may seem that the material takes second place. But the practice is to the overall advantage of the material.

It is sometimes difficult to maintain the fine distinction that is necessary to you, for example, so that the voice is not too loud. I must use of course a buildup of energy, which is then expended. The rate at which it is expended controls the volume of the voice. There are delicate balances here, you see, so that while I sometimes fool with you in a joking manner, oftentimes the energy simply is not as finely controlled as I would like.

This simply involves practice again, as I learn how much energy is necessary to get certain effects. Since I am using Ruburt’s voice mechanisms, certain adjustments must be made as I discover how best to manipulate the necessary mechanisms.

The emotional energy I use as when I show good spirits, are the same energies that propel themselves outward through the voice. This is somewhat more complicated than it may appear. There is a similarity here between the extension of my self outward through Ruburt, and the extension necessary for example in an individual’s projection of a pseudoimage.

When others are present there is simply more energy available. Yet again, such use of energy does not imply a depletion. I am not stealing energy from others. In actuality Ruburt uses the energy, for it is in a form which is more accessible to him than to me. There is a pooling of energy in such cases, and in such a pooling of energy telepathic communications are facilitated; for the many selves present, in pooling their energy, extend themselves.

In good circumstances Ruburt then dips into this energy pool, which obviously must contain certain elements of personal experience on the part of the participators. I have meant to give you this information in the past, and shortly you will see why telepathy and clairvoyance occur more readily in the dream state.
