“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When Ruburt learns a few lessons, he will be able to tell when his impressions are correct. Most of the wrong ones are not necessarily errors, but he has not made the proper connections, or gone far enough, but stopped short in processes of association. For the basic valid impressions are not picked up by the ego; and, again, must be properly transformed into data that can be understood. And this often emerges as associative material, that must then be deciphered. He is in training, so to speak.

These are impressions. Mud, and water, and umbrellas. An inkwell. He may be writing. He has been concerned with a schedule. (Pause.)

These are impressions.

(Once again Jane considered the test a failure, and attributed it to her being upset today. As it developed we did not ask Seth for specific information on the impressions, so I do not know whether they were merely too far-ranging for our purposes, or simply errors. I saw possible connections with a few of them, and will note them for the record.

(If impressions can attach themselves to the test object itself, they can attach themselves to any other object; so once again it appears that the problem for Jane is one of discrimination. She was disappointed at the results of this evening’s test especially when comparing it with the good results of last Friday’s spontaneous affair with the Gallaghers. See pages 316-321.
