“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Let me first make a few comments concerning the article which Ruburt has just finished reading.

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.

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.

They could not have been received by the physical ears because the necessary transformation of components had not been made within that range. Now, Ruburt helped me, though consciously he was not aware of this, because of the peculiar circumstances.

(When Seth is speaking rapidly I find that I write rapidly in order to keep up, often without much awareness of what I am putting down as far as meaning goes. Because of this I occasionally miss out on asking what may seem like obvious questions. A case in point in the above delivery would be the passage where Seth states: “Now Ruburt helped me, though consciously he was not aware of this, because of the peculiar circumstances.” I would have liked this explained at the time. As it is it must wait for the next session.

(I had planned a question to mention aloud at break, however, and this was simply whether it would have been possible for me to hear the static and the voice at the same time Jane has on her few occasions, had I been present and close to her.

In the particular instances when Ruburt heard me, I simply do not know whether or not you would have heard me, and there are several reasons for this. I impressed or affected Ruburt’s ear rather directly because this was the easiest procedure. In other words the actual sound effects, had you been listening, might have appeared as a loud whisper.
