“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

Either one should be permanent. Your home situation will be much more stable for one thing, and such an arrangement is really necessary for Ruburt’s efficiency. It enables him to direct his energy where he wants it, when he wants it. The divider may only be a symbol but it is a necessary one. It is the symbol for a discipline on his part that will enable him to override the vicissitudes of mood, and temporary inclinations.

I have told you that many other systems coexist with your own, simultaneously. Other fields exist that you do not perceive with your physical senses. Ruburt was not perceiving with his own physical senses, nor was he asleep.

What is unusual is that Ruburt was able to use his perceptions fully to see within the patterns of the physical system, or to see through them to the patterns formed by another system.

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.

The woman left your own physical system not long ago, according to your terms. She had a connection with this house, though not with you. She was a friend of the woman above you. This is the first time that Ruburt has allowed himself such freedom of perception, and he shall have other such experiences.

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.

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.

(We made some connections ourselves, and Seth elaborated on others. At times during the data I wasn’t sure who was speaking—Jane or Seth. Sometimes when Ruburt was mentioned, I thought it was Jane saying so, rather than Seth. After the session Jane said she had no awareness along these lines, but one of confusion concerning the data. Knowing it was wrong somehow, she tried to be objective, to get back on the right track without knowing how to go about it. There was a confusion of levels, she said, that left her groping.

(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:

(“We will say that it is a letter, and we will say that it is from one of Ruburt’s parents.”

This time your question led us astray. I did not want Ruburt to get away from the family group idea, you see, but he kept getting specific in the wrong direction. Still keeping however the family group image.

Very poor. Ruburt wore a string of beads.

It would take too long to explain it. I will if you prefer. Ruburt realizes the connection and he will tell you later.

The large circle shape was vaguely connected. Ruburt noticed a large orange sun, drawn by a child, in the hallway of the school. Something else here: He equated the cube with a large pill, which would be round and difficult to swallow.

Now. The woman was not aware of Ruburt.

It has indeed. Whenever you find time I will give you more personal material. And whenever you feel the need to rest from your typing, Joseph, by all means say so. Ruburt worries here.
