“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For all my humor concerning the particular communication to Philip, I wanted him to be conscious of hearing me. Actually this caused an interruption of action, in order to make the source of the communication stand out in his mind. Otherwise he would have merely automatically recorded my warning, and reacted to it smoothly without any realization on the part of the ego.

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.

(During the 68th session Seth stated that eventually, as Jane’s abilities grow, it should be possible for him to speak to us from different locations in the room, independent of Jane’s position, and that it might also develop that he could speak to us from his own apparition. During this session an apparition was seen by a witness. The phenomenon lasted for upwards of an hour, and we have the drawings of it, made by the witness, Bill Macdonnel, on file. See Volume 1.)

A small note here: my candle effect was quite legitimate the other evening. This sort of thing will almost always occur without Ruburt’s conscious knowledge for a long time to come. The reason is simply that conscious knowledge of such an effect would inhibit him, regardless of his best intentions, and the energy used would block the action or effect that I was trying to deliver.

I do not seem to find him at home, and I think of water, and of his walking near the water. (Pause.) In the back, behind his place of residence, and another person with him, I believe a male, though I am not certain of this. (Pause.)
