“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are other self-conscious portions of the self however, with which the ego is not at all familiar, but of which the subconscious has intuitive knowledge. These self-conscious portions of the self exist in different reality systems. Before we go into our Dr. Instream material, let me remind you however that there is a whole self, composed of these various self-conscious selves, and that a portionof the self is indeed aware of the unity that exists to form the whole psychological gestalt.

(Jane spotted it at break at 10:28 before I did: part of the above data seems to pertain to this evening’s envelope object. This was interesting to me especially. I prepared tonight’s envelope sometime after supper, then forgot about it in the press of other business. When the time for the envelope experiment arrived, I then had the idea the envelope contained another object, one I had thought of earlier in the day. So my surprise was considerable, consciously, when Jane opened the envelope and revealed the coaster.)

Do you have a test for me, Joseph?

(I can offer a connection, but cannot verify it with Seth until next session. After this session I remembered that the Wilburs are reading what we call Book One of the Seth material. This consists of the first 26 sessions. The first formal session was held December 2,1963. My introductory notes contain a reference to Jane and me borrowing a Ouija board from our landlord “in the fall of 1963,” which compares with the date given by Seth this evening, of September 10,1963. The notes refer to our attempts to use the board early in November 1963 also, without success.)

(This reminded Jane and me that during Saturday evening, Marilyn had described to us how her young son had discovered what fun there was to the universal game of hanging by his mother’s apron strings, as she tried to go about her duties in the trailer home in nearby Wellsburg, NY.

(“What do you think of me asking you a question once in a while during an experiment?”

It would be better if you asked me a question at the immediate ending of a test, rather than interrupt the data. Simply say, I have a question for you, or I will have a question for you.

(“Well, it seems the data on the Instream object for last Monday became entangled with tonight’s envelope object data. Did you pick this up from me, telepathically, or clairvoyantly from the envelope object itself?”)

Yes. From the color red, which has strong connotations. The strongest elements are perceived more easily, as emotional elements are always perceived more easily. Initially with objects, I pick up shapes, and emotional connections, and then try to get Ruburt to let me narrow these down more specifically.
