“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

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.

The exercise involved here will also help Ruburt in giving the material, and it will help in understanding the operation of the self under such conditions. As such these tests may be considered quite practical portions of the material itself, and we shall use them on various occasions to make certain points.

(I believe the book of Jane’s that Seth refers to here is her new project, dealing with the Seth material itself. Jane has been casting about for a good way to present the material, and has about decided upon her approach. She is not quite sure of it however as yet.
