“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 sort of things with which we are involved then often imply an interruption of action of this kind, and a translation or transformation of data from one range of electromagnetic energy to another. On those occasions when Ruburt has heard me more or less directly in his psychological time experiments, there has always been on his part a sound quite independent of himself, from outside of himself, of static. If you recall, on several occasions he was so certain of the static that he checked to see if he had left the radio on by mistake.

(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.)

The other man seems to have a connection with three women in particular. A conventional relationship, perhaps a wife and two daughters (pause) or a wife and two sisters. (Pause.) The name Erickson is mentioned, and a trip of his, I believe a projected trip.

Could it be his wife’s birthday perhaps? In any case it seems that he intends to give her the box. (Long pause.)

(Jane now remembered that as Seth had spoken about her being able to hear the sound of his voice, the left side of her head and scalp, from the top of her head down to her neck, had tingled very strongly for several minutes. She had never had the sensation before, and found it difficult to put into words.
