“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I found this amusing. The symbol was a highly valuable one however, obviously. You will both improve with practice. Because of your ideas, you see, you experience more difficulty in getting out of the physical house. (Smile.) Ruburt’s window image, had the experience continued, would have effectively done this for him. He did not have the confidence to imagine himself, you see, passing through the physical walls.

Instead he has to form the imaginary image of a window, which is in itself some feat, and then project himself through this. It is quite all right. I merely wanted to point out what he did. When you project from the dream body, you see, consciously you are already outside, as a rule. You have already made the initial change away from physical focus.

It may be a photograph of the earlier mentioned impressions, you see, if not a photograph (Jane’s eyes now opened, wide and very dark. This is the first time they have done so during such an experiment.) A picture of some kind—an image of another man, rather than the thing itself.

(Break at 10:29. Jane was far out, she said. She wasn’t conscious of anything but the experiment, and her eyes remained closed through all of it. She had a few images during the experiment and these will be mentioned in place in the data.

(“A rectangular card, with printed matter.” The object is on a rectangular piece of heavy, porous-type paper, similar to card stock. Jane said she had an image of the correct size and proportion of the object, and that Seth was trying to get this data across to her. She had no image of a drawing, or herself.

(“The impression now of looking down, from a high position…” This is an excellent description of my position in the second-story studio, looking quite straight down as I sketched Jane on the lawn. She was perhaps twelve feet below me. Jane had an image in connection with this data, which is explained below. At the time I made the drawing I wondered if Jane would sense the fact even though she didn’t see me. Jane paused noticeably before she continued.

(This rock data and related data is a case where Jane decided to pursue her original impression of being up high. Often, she said, it is left up to her as to whether to so develop an impression. Sometimes she doesn’t know what to do. This time she followed up to some degree because she also had an image, of someone standing on high, looking down from some kind of rocky perch. She believes this image was distorted to some degree.

(“A card, such as the kind sent out by organizations for invitations.” Jane had an image here, of a rectangular card of the kind that used to be sent out by an art gallery where she worked up until a year of so ago. This image card was the same size and proportion, she said, as the rectangular paper the envelope object is drawn on; she believes Seth gave her this data to reinforce that idea.

(Jane did not have this image when she gave the “rectangular card” data interpreted on page 184.
