“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

My greeting to Marleno, and my sympathy to Ruburt as he struggles to plow through his Dunne.

Other portions of self one are to some extent aware of these other dimensions. Now you see where we are heading. For now consider what we shall call self A. And we shall say that he is the physical self in the physical universe. He is composed of physical matter, he is composed of psychological matter, a portion of this latter being ego. From your own work you realize however that this individual, or self A, is indeed more than physical matter, even while he exists within the physical dimension.

In the dreaming state and in other states of consciousness, he can indeed to some degree become aware of perceptions which will be neglected by the ego alone. In other words, psychologically there is only one portion of self A that is limited in its perceptions to the physical dimension, and that is the ego.

They are rectangular, and fairly deep. (Pause.) He has been working there, I believe, on marking grades, or making out some sort of reports which are finding their way into these boxes. He sits now (at 10:09) at a table like a card table, I believe alone, with a game of some sort before him, or at least with a board such as a checkerboard. (Pause.)

The object before him on the table does have checks upon it. Some are black, and the object is flat and of cardboard. He is in a robe, slippers and pajamas, with a door behind him. I believe to a clothes closet. (Pause.)

I also pick up a rather uncharacteristic connection with a pipe. Either he has been given one, or he has purchased one; but there is a connection with a pipe here.

This has to do with two separate principles. First of all there was a retention of image. Second of all, there was quite separately an association because of the size of the card given as test object. In the second case the association was Ruburt’s, for on his own he picked up a file-card image, but he translated this into the image of a box in which such file cards are often kept.

Actually it was fairly legitimate, but not carried far enough on Ruburt’s part. In this case he did very well in closing off his own associations.

Now when he does so disconnect his own stream of consciousness in this manner, any correct associations on his part will automatically show themselves in the data through attraction. They will become incorporated with my data in a constructive fashion. This is fairly important, and we shall follow it up by examples when possible. For I will perceive certain types of information that are basic, and when Ruburt’s abilities, his own abilities as apart from mine, are fully developed, then he will be able to add certain specifics that have direct personal application.

My information will indeed be specific enough, but there are certain human interrelationships that he will more precisely perceive, for they have no particular meaning for me.

(Jane opened her eyes. Since Seth did not go into my latest vision this evening, I’ll save a description of it for next session. The last vision of mine that he discussed took place on August 30,1965, and is dealt with in the 183rd session. It was of the head of a man I had known centuries earlier in a previous life, according to Seth.)

(Here Seth refers to Lorraine Shafer, who had to leave at last break. He also did well with Lorraine during the last session she witnessed, the 195th of October 4,1965, delivering quite a bit of information on Lorraine’s past; she verified much of it. See Volume 4.)
