“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The reasons do indeed have to do with electromagnetic realities which we have mentioned earlier. I have in mind some experiments that can be done in the future, but I do not suggest them now as you are busy enough. The suggestions have to do with the growing of plants under various conditions.

Now. It is not likely that I will be heard by anyone for some time in the way that Philip heard me speak. Again, the condition simply happened to be favorable. I have told you that all action is psychic action, but the terms used make little difference. All action does have an electromagnetic reality, which is usually not perceived by the physical senses.

This was the result of my attempt to give the voice an independence, to form sound within your physical system without working through Ruburt’s vocal cords, but to impress your physical system kinetically.

In Philip’s case, in one way, my job was easier, since the words were not picked up from the outside. He heard them, but clearly, from within.

In a fully ego-oriented state of consciousness this is not so, for the ego constantly tries to maintain a rigid electromagnetic balance. This is obviously impossible, but in the attempt egotistical identity is helped in its efforts to maintain a more or less closed system of perceptions.

(Break at 9:31. Jane had been dissociated as usual for a first delivery. Her eyes had been open at times. Her voice was average but her delivery had become quite fast.

A dream for example again does not have the solidity of a chair, but a dream does have reality in physical terms. The planets and the stars are materialized more fully than a chair, or similar physical objects. A thought has a particular electromagnetic identity which will fall within a certain range of intensities, and therefore indirectly as you know can be received by another individual who is simultaneously open to that particular range.

Your question is a nice one. That is, not as simple as you supposed, nor as easy to answer indeed, but we shall have a try at it.

The volume in Ruburt’s case was caused by proximity, among other things, and if I set up a small sound very close to him, so that it has an explosive and loud effect; but it was directed in such a manner that it was in a large measure closed off. That is, I affected the physical system but only a small portion of it, but then directed the effect purposefully in one direction.
