“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the last session Seth said the possibility existed that we would have four or five witnesses for the session tonight. He had also mentioned such a possibility during Sunday’s unscheduled session of February 27. However no witnesses appeared.

There are a few points I would like to make. They will take us a bit away from our main lines of discussion, and they have to do with communication between essence personalities and those still within the physical system.

One of the reasons, incidentally, for Ruburt’s good performance for me is precisely his ability to use words well. We are building up a foundation here, in which words are important, and for which incidentally subconscious shorthand symbols would be of little use.

When the inverted time system is understood clearly, then the inadequacy of the cause and effect theory will be clear. If your psychologists and scientists would begin a study of their own dreams, they would learn much through personal experience.

They would tackle realities that cannot be measured with physical instruments. Since psychologists deal with psychological activity, it is all the more amazing that they have not concentrated upon psychological activity, observing it first hand as it exists in their own various stages of consciousness.

(“A connection with many people, and with something like a basement—low, that is. This leads Ruburt to think of your Myhalyk’s, his impression.” Jane believes her impression here is correct. Myhalyk’s is our favorite dancing establishment in Elmira. On Saturday, February 19, Jane and I met Marilyn and Don Wilbur and some others at Myhalyk’s for an evening of dancing. This was shortly after we had obtained the book on hands, and during the evening Jane asked the Wilburs if they would cooperate in having handprints made. The Wilburs, who have witnessed several unscheduled sessions, consented. Arrangements were made to obtain their prints on Friday, February 25, but were not carried out because of the difficulty in getting good prints. My print, made on February 27, was an experiment in an effort to learn just how to make a good print.

(“The darks horizontal,” Note the fold marks on the copy of the envelope object on page 327. When the object was folded and then held in a roughly horizontal position in the rectangular double envelope, the dark patterns of the fingers would be horizontal within the envelopes.

(“the verticals bright.” If this is a reference to the white spaces between the fingers of the print, then these would be horizontal also. We do not know why the vertical designation then.
