“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.

(Jane, her eyes still closed, gestured here as though to make this point clear.)

There is no use pretending of course not to be annoyed. The point is simply to do your best, so that you gradually learn not to inhibit your reactions to them, but to change the nature of your habitual reactions to them.

I am taking this incident as an example, but my remarks are to you both, for you both have much room for improvement in this respect. It is true that I am not concerned directly, so you may think that it is easy for me to speak to you both in this way. However it is because I am not directly concerned that I can see the problem and point out ways in which it can be solved. For there will always be such difficulties, and a habit of concentrating upon them could be most disadvantageous.
