“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth referred to this bewildering multiplicity very early in the sessions, and dealt with it rather extensively in the 12th session of January 2,1964, in his first explanation of what he calls the fifth dimension. He has told us we could never cover even a portion of the numberless fields bordering even our own; some will be explained as they impinge upon our own in various ways; Seth also has mentioned his own ability to travel through a few other fields. See Volume 1.)

(“What was his reaction to me?”

Its general field of awareness however is much larger than any with which you are familiar, and he has a greater control and focus within this larger generalized field than you possess in your comparable generalized field of perception. His dissociated states, for example, make up a much larger portion of his perception, and they are more vivid than mankind’s generalized dissociated conditions.

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.

Some guests at his office earlier, in the nature of nuisances. A connection here with Ticonderoga. Perhaps one of the visitors was from there. I do not know, but this has application connected with his office today. (Pause.)

I believe he lost a scarf, navy blue. In any case, whether it was lost or found, I see a navy blue scarf on the chair by his desk, in his office. Now; that is, in his office now.

(“Crowded. Many voices, dancing,” refers to the first time I wore the new coat. This was to a party given by Bill Macdonnel at his art gallery on Thursday, December 30. It was called a New Year’s Eve party, was very crowded, and there was dancing. I have yet to wear the coat out of the house again.

(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.

Long enough, however, to make a few comments. Ruburt was not particularly at his best this evening, simply because he was somewhat upset over your reaction, Joseph, to the car episode.

Ruburt does this in his own way also. The one who is at any given time free of such difficulty should indeed help the other when such occasions arise. You actually put yourself in a trance state, and the suggestions take strong hold; and they are rarely constructive ones at such times.
