“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Again, any changes, or any lack of changes will be significant, and will help you distinguish the differences between various levels of consciousness as they show themselves physically within the organism. You see here that if temperature and pulse is noted before sessions, you may find a correlation that exists between these and specific instances of clairvoyance as demonstrated during a given session, and another given session. Do you follow my point here?

I could go on for quite a while, mentioning things that you could do. They all would add to your work load, though none of them alone would take much time. You have available, through your television set I believe, data having to do with outside temperature, wind velocity and so forth. For your own records you could note these before a session, and look for correlations.

Humidity and barometric pressure would also be helpful. You are functioning within an environment. The psychic and exterior environments are closely connected, and the correlations are available if you know where to look for them.

It will do no harm to note them down before you retire. I believe that you will note some rather significant correlations, if you find the time to carry any of these investigations through with any regularity. And the regularity will be very important.

These will only indicate correlations however, and not basic conditions. They will be correlations between basic conditions, and there is quite a difference here. There is so much that can be done, and I know that you have little time to do them. You see, there are also other circumstances which could be noted, to your advantage, such as the phases of the moon, and others which would be more difficult to ascertain.

The physical circumstances which you may discover should never be interpreted as conditions in themselves, under which we operate with varying degrees of efficiency, again, but merely as interconnecting correlations between two sets of intangibles. I will make this clearer at a later time.

As far as our dream experiments are concerned, I believe that you will discover definite correlations of a rather important nature that exist between the incidence of precognitive dreams, and data having to do with temperature and weather.

It would be necessary to take your temperature many times during the evening, and to correlate the findings with the various levels of the subconscious as they displayed themselves through their characteristic activities within the dream series. Such an experiment would be extremely difficult.

This correlation between the layers of the subconscious and temperature ranges is true, or rather observable, only when the personality is in an inactive state. Suggestions of motion or excitement given to it would change and affect the temperature reading, so that this characteristic temperature range could be unnoticed.
