“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. We shall have a quiet session. I shall deal with matters that are connected with you both.

I want to make myself clear here, so I am speaking slowly. Conditions that come about during your exercises bring forth this passive state, with you personally. Now this passivity is good, and you use it well. It also comes more easily to you however, because you have always been given to solitude and introspection.

This is not to be overdone however. The daily exercise period is fine. The tendencies are used and developed for the good of the overall personality. It is important that they continue to be so disciplined. I do not suggest that you give more time to this daily period however, now.

Now for today’s experience. You tuned in telepathically to a group of people, I believe in the Midwest. Their own abilities are well developed.

(Jane now took a long pause at 9:13. Geography is not one of her strong points, as the next sentence shows, but she has an unerring sense of direction.)

You, Joseph, are now learning to use your inner intuitions and inner abilities, and to focus them also outward creatively in your work, and also in your own physical activities and environment.

Now since this session is a rather personal one I have some comments to Ruburt before I discuss his experience. At least a year ago I suggested that a room divider be kept up to divide his working area. I specifically mentioned the benefits that could be expected from such an arrangement, and I now most strongly repeat my remarks, suggesting that the present arrangement be kept, or another divider substituted.

Now. What he saw was not an hallucination.

Now, both systems exist in actuality. Usually you only perceive your own. Ruburt turned off his usual focus of perception. He focused it differently, and so saw an image of which he would normally not be aware.

Now I suggest a break.

(Jane has always wanted to see an apparition, or survival personality, and now has had her wish. She said the experience was not frightening at all.

(It was now time for the 51st Dr. Instream experiment. As usual Jane sat with a hand to her closed eyes, speaking slowly. Resume at 10:05.)

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

A shell. A man’s hat on a table next to a shell, such as a seashell. A cluttered desk. I believe Dr. Instream is in his own office at the college, now. (Pause at 10:07.) He has had a male visitor within the hour.

April 66. Now this is connected with Ruburt’s letter image. Personally, I have the impression of Ruburt’s father.

We will say that it is a letter, and we will say that it is from one of Ruburt’s parents. Now take your break.

(“I think of July or April.” At the bottom of one of the objects is a reference to Spring 1963. Originally both cards were the same size, and contained two paragraphs of information. For some reason I do not recall now I clipped the second paragraph off one of the cards. Whether this contained a July reference, for instance, I cannot say.

(I now asked Seth to elaborate on the family group data. “The question, you see, leads Ruburt to think of a letter from your sister-in-law, concerning a change of dates for a family affair.” This does not apply to the envelope objects. Seth explains somewhat concerning why this data came about however.

(My second question asked for more specific data on the July or April reference already given. “April 66. Now this is connected with Ruburt’s letter image. Personally, I have the impression of Ruburt’s father.” Again, this material is off. I could feel Jane groping about, trying to right herself. I wondered if I could cut across the confusion here by asking her to name the object, so that was the third question:

Now. Much of the material you have figured out for yourselves.

Now give us a moment. (Pause.)

Now. The woman was not aware of Ruburt.
