“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If your Friday get-togethers have become boring, it is to a large extent because you have both allowed them to do so, and not taken the lead in directing the conversations along more responsible lines. For these young people can offer much. They look at things with fresh minds, and their questions can lead both of you along new lines of thought.

I do not want to take any more time with this discussion. But I did want to impress you with these facts. The relationship between you and Ruburt also gives the young couple the basis upon which to build their own life together, and such a basis was quite necessary for them.

They were not trying any experiments at the time, but their energies were free, and reaching outward. Often you are trying your psychic wings, so to speak, when you do not realize it. This is rather important.

What you call the astral body does much of its traveling when you are not consciously trying to experiment. Telepathically you receive thoughts when you are not trying to receive them. This does not mean that conscious experimentation will not work however. It simply means that what you are trying to do, consciously, you have been doing without knowing it all the while.

(Many sessions ago, I believe within the first 50, Seth told us we should one day be aware of our dreams while fully conscious. At the time we did not have enough background material to see how this would be possible. We now believe it possible, and the closing paragraph above struck a chord within me; I think the very passive state I achieve at times after doing hatha yoga might signal a beginning here.

(The images, voices, dreams, etc., disappear when I deliberately bring myself back to the full waking state, but it might be interesting to see what I can do to prolong them through the use of suggestion. Perhaps I can carry them with me briefly as I get to my feet, etc.

This is an impression I do not understand: Minnow.

The object does not belong to Dr. Instream. Something to do with mileage. This is not the object now, but a separate impression. He plans a trip, to a specific location. A connection with Canada. Also I believe with a boat, though this will not be the main method of transportation.

The hypnosis experiments are slumping. There is disagreement about a score. Perhaps the initials R L, having to do with these and something to do with 14. These impressions all concerning the hypnosis experiments.

Also the impression of an illness of a relative. Another connection, separate, with Formosa. I do not know to what this refers.

You made rather too much of a point of our location in Wyoming, Joseph. We will see what we can do however, and if we do not get the correct data this evening, we shall do so eventually.

A connection with salt. I give Ruburt a break after our impressions, and I shall do so now. Then if you are not tired we shall continue. I leave the length of the session to you. Add the number 103 to our information concerning the location, and there is the whistle of wind.

You have both been so consciously concerned with your Ouija board pointer that it is difficult for me now to get much information through. The conscious demands inhibit inner information. However give us a moment and we shall see what we can do, despite the difficulty.

My best wishes to you both. If it were not for the labor involved on your part, Joseph, I would speak to you both more often. There is personal material that we do not seem to have time for, as I want to continue developing our basic material. You may always call upon me whenever you wish, however.
