“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was held in our back room and was a quiet one. Jane spoke while sitting down. Her eyes opened narrowly at times during the session. She was smoking as she began speaking, at a slow pace which grew faster as the delivery progressed.)

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.

The voice seemed to finally be formed, or to rise above this static, and on one occasion the voice was extremely loud.

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.

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.

Now give us a moment. (Pause, one minute long.)
