“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was held in our front room. Once again Jane smoked very little during the session. Her pace was again slow, with many pauses of varying length. She spoke while sitting down, and with her left hand raised to her lowered head. Her eyes were closed; she maintained this position until break.)

Now. There are indeed psychological frameworks that operate in communications such as ours, and I shall attempt to explain their function and composition.

I will first discuss our own particular circumstances, and then proceed to a more general discussion. There is Ruburt’s ego, and his subconscious, as you know. There are also other areas or levels that are part of his whole personality. In our case a gestalt personality or a psychological bridge

I am interested mainly in education, and with Ruburt’s training by me through our present methods, the processes themselves are more clearly seen and understood. Some information comes to Ruburt fairly automatically, in that he speaks for me without having to consciously translate for me.

Ruburt is of course much more familiar with sense impressions than he is with internal data, or with impressions that do not come to him through the physical senses. Therefore in our experiments, often, I will give him an impression, and he will automatically translate it into visual terms, although his eyes are closed. And then he is tempted to interpret it literally, as he would an ordinary visual image.

A beautiful example of this occurred in our last session, with the X image.

As a result in such instances, it is up to him to interpret the image correctly. The words that you hear are my words and not Ruburt’s. However, they are representations of my thought, as they are sifted through various layers, first of all of our composite psychological framework, and then through layers of Ruburt’s own personality.

This point is fairly important, for it shows how the personal associations are utilized up to a certain point, and then sometimes quite suddenly dispensed with, for they have served our purposes.

Now. Give us a moment, please, for our Instream material.

Now. We will shortly end our session.

All in all, hardly our best. However the color and the initials—the initials particularly—were quite specific.
