“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the 210th session for November 22,1965, Seth stated that he had picked up an “incipient malignancy” in Helen Dyer, who is a friend of our landlady, Marian Spaziani. See Volume 5, page 81. This data was given after the two women had visited us. We have heard nothing more on this, either from Seth or the two women. Last weekend Marian’s husband Jimmy told us that Marian herself must have an operation to remove a tumor on an ovary. Since Seth mentioned the abdominal region in connection with Helen, we wonder about possible distortion on Jane’s part here. The material in the 210th session was focused strongly on Helen however.

Sense data therefore may be the result of perception of outer and inner environment. It is simpler to translate information from the outer environment into sense data. It is more difficult to translate inner data in this manner. There are frequent distortions but there are also frequent distortions in more ordinary sense perceptions. Inner data so translated must be built up from scratch, so to speak. There is in the physical world an illusion of continuity, against which sense data can be checked. There is no like sense of continuity, as a rule, against which to check sense perceptions which are translations of inner data.
