“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I remembered very little about the bow, yet subjectively I was sure it had been taken from a greeting card of some kind. I work for a greeting card company, but did not remember seeing other ribbons like it there in particular. I did not recall the card the ribbon came from, nor why I had removed it—if I was the one who had done so. I hoped Seth could fill us in on the details. The bow was in poor condition, and I assumed I had carried it home in a coat pocket sometime last winter.

(Jane did not feel very well before the session, but when I mentioned calling the session off she insisted on holding it. She began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Although she was tired her pace was good. She was not smoking.)

Our friend is not at his best this evening, but we shall see what we can do.

You perceive portions of such actions consciously, some subconsciously, some with the inner senses, but you do not perceive the whole action. Your perceptions, your physical perceptions, cut a good bit of the portion that you could receive into bits and pieces. Since you do not perceive whole action that occurs within your own system, you do not understand it. So it should not surprise you that you misinterpret projections of other actions from different systems, when they appear as they sometimes do within your own.

Now. They represent energy in a much more pure form than any with which you are acquainted in your system. This does not necessarily mean that such energy as that displayed by the quasars does not exist within your system. We shall discuss that later. But you are not acquainted with the existence of such energy.

That is the simple reason. The profound reason is as simple to say, but more difficult to understand. Using your terms again, and your scientific framework, when you look outward away from your planet, and when you assume that you are looking backward in time, you are simply looking into, or toward, what may be described for analogy’s sake, the center, or core, of an infinite sphere; which exists, you see, in your terms as far on the other side of the inner core, and in all directions. You cannot look away from it, for you are not on any outward edge or skin of it, from which to get such a viewpoint.

Even in our discussions we use the terms past, present and future, but I have told you that your future can influence your past, and that the spacious present is the only time reality.

(Break at 9:27. Jane said she was really “out”, or that Seth was really “in.” She was aware of nothing but the material while speaking, and felt the ideas were good. Her pace had been fast toward the end of the delivery; her eyes had been open much of the time and very dark, and she had spoken with emphasis and many gestures. She now felt much better. She said she wouldn’t have been surprised had Seth called off the session in the beginning.

(Jane resumed at a somewhat slower rate. Her eyes were closed but she was smoking. 9:40.)

There is no intelligent life within them in your terms. They are composed of endless intelligence. They are not matter, but in your terms they have been matter.

I hope to be able to introduce concepts to Ruburt, but intuitively. These will then become also a property of his intellect, and help us put the words together that we need.

What they “see” (in quotes) is of course distorted. What they see has no physical mass however, but only electrical mass and intensity, which is a different thing.

Now, even the home skies about you are filled with other realities, as I have said often. You will perceive the existence of these realities with various instruments in the future, but only their existence. You will not perceive their nature.

(Break at 10:02. Jane was again very well dissociated, she said. Her eyes were open and very dark for much of the last part of the delivery, her pace fast but broken by pauses, her manner very emphatic. She said that when Seth comes in strong she feels more like him than she does herself. She smoked and sipped at wine.

Now I have the impression that the shadow-shapes are like a latticework of leaves, with the sky behind them. I do not know if this is literal, but it is the impression I get from the shapes.

A spring. This last is Ruburt’s connection. But three people together, but also referring to a fourth.

(I used the ribbon as object not only because I wanted to get its background for myself, but because this lack of at least conscious knowledge on my part would simulate the circumstances surrounding an object furnished by someone else.

(“I have the impression of a circular shape, with a smaller square in the center. The square much smaller than the circle.” As stated the ribbon had somehow become much flattened out, but before this the two bows would be circular in shape. As the tracing shows the knot between them is squarish, and quite small.

(We could make other connections but they would require checking out, and extra time. While giving the data Jane had the idea of my mother as being connected with the color red, but did not give voice to this because she believed it was incorrect. We agree.

Now, the numbers referred to a number on the card. I do not know if this was a catalog number, but some identifying number.

You do not handle the line now, but the card has been kept.

(Seth refers to a young artist I work with. I am not sure just when Curt joined Artistic, except that it was probably after 1963. But not much after. If the card in question was revamped in 1963 it is possible that Curt might have handled it as one of his first jobs.

(“The other day Jane said she’s never dreamed of you yourself, although she’s dreamed about the sessions. But she’s had experiences involving you in her psychological time experiments.”)
