“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

Because his range was so large, your dissociated conditions simply met more easily than otherwise. However, once his attention was centered here, he turned his conscious attention to full focus upon what he perceived. Nor did he perceive your physical form as you know it. But he picked up fully your emotional recognition and fear, and these were translated or perceived by him in his own fashion, so that to him you appeared as a mass of varying colors, and as movement of severe intensity.

The pulsations were caused by the action of your emotional state. And you, my dear Joseph, literally frightened him away. You on your part translated what was inner data into a form that you could, or hoped to, understand. The eyes were the first images that you saw.

He perceived that a portion of you was bound, however, within your present time, and this was almost incomprehensible to him.

A letter today from a man in the Midwest, or a letter about him. The man is on in years. He has two daughters, and is known for grumbling.

(The rest of the test data appears to be all of a piece, and can be connected with a young friend of ours with whom I used to work. Two years ago the friend enlisted in the Marines and was sent to Alaska. He returned to Elmira over the holidays on furlough. I met him twice but Jane did not see him at all. She did listen to me talk about him, of course.

(Our friend wore his civilian clothes, so even had she met him Jane wouldn’t have been able to observe his uniform colors. It chanced however that while we were waiting in line at the post office to mail packages, we saw a Marine in uniform. Jane noticed its color—this was not the dress blues uniform—and questioned me as to the soldier’s branch of service, etc. Then when we went shopping we picked out my sport coat in a similar color, although I believe neither of us thought of any such connection at the time.
