“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In your particular state of consciousness on that particular evening, your attention strayed beyond your ordinary fields of perception. You perceived an inhabitant of another system. There was indeed a quite unusual point of contact reached; most unusual indeed in that you not only perceived this individual, but he also perceived you.

The point of such contact can indeed be mathematically shown, and in the future I shall do just that. Part of your own reaction, I believe, was due to the fact that you realized that this contact represented a personal encounter, that this bizarre apparition was aware of you as you were of him.

First you displayed, if I may say so, a rather unfortunate reaction. You were quite ready to strike out physically at what you could not understand. And this reaction broke the contact.

You must understand however that momentarily you had a reality in the reference field of that other individual. The contact was mutual. Now we know what the conditions were at your end. We know that you made no attempt to aim your attention in the particular direction that would allow you to perceive that definite system.

(I have hoped many times for another such contact, with the promise to myself that I would do better next time. I have also used suggestion, although not nightly, to the effect that more such experiences would occur. Nothing has developed to date.)

Such encounters do occur with what would appear to be startling frequency, when those in your system are sleeping; but they are very seldom remembered. What was however extremely unusual was that this contact was recognized as such by two inhabitants of completely different systems.

You are not alone in this however. You have had no other experiences where contact was recognized both by you and the other individual from the other system, however; and he takes what he learned as part of himself now.
