“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If you tune into that intensity imperfectly, you will have a pseudophysical object, that is in one or more respects different from a normal object. It may be obvious for example to some of your physical senses, and not to others. It may be only partially materialized.

What you perceive with your physical senses is of course real. It is one of the forms that reality takes. But if you insist upon believing that only physical data is real, then you see you will never learn what is within it.

Reality changes its form in order to become known to itself. It constructs varieties of consciousness with varying kinds of sense apparatus, or perceiving apparatus. Each consciousness then perceives reality in a different fashion. Yet all fashions you see are legitimate, as far as physical sense apparatus is concerned. But the mental or psychic energy behind all this is the one basic reality.

The images seen during the seance were quite as real as anything else in the room. They could have been photographed, if any one of the three of you had held the camera. (Broad smile, eyes dark. Seth refers to three here because Bill Macdonnel was a witness to the session.)

White flakes, resembling snowflakes. I have the visual impression of a round glass globe, one of the old-fashioned variety. When you turn it upside down snowflakes fill the globe.

The impression of two people. One bending down or over, perhaps a woman, and another smaller person, facing each other. One slightly taller, or tall in any case.

A connection with an initial expense. The impression on the object, on the lower bottom, of very small rectangles or squares, (pause) one after another—bright, but outlined in darker color, as perhaps a transparency of some kind.

The impression I mentioned of dark, and perhaps purple. Also a brownish tone. Perhaps a blue dress. Or the object that I pick up as a woman is a blue one.

I have the impression that it is a picture or transparency of some sort, or strongly connected. That is if the object is not a picture or transparency it seems to be strongly connected with one.

(“The impression of two people. One bending down or over… Now these may be objects, or representations, rather than persons, but I have the impression of two persons… In any case these two objects seem to be together, toward the lower center of the object perhaps, holding the object this way.” These are excerpts from succeeding impressions as a group, and are given here because Jane thinks the bending over idea here derived from the way the wings of the eagle bend in and down toward each other; they are together, or close, at the base, and in the center of the object.

(“A connection with an establishment,” We regard this as general, although of course the store where we bought the rifle is an establishment, one of a chain in the northeast.

(While Jane was giving the envelope data I detected nothing out of the ordinary in her delivery. She sat with her eyes closed, speaking quite calmly and easily as she usually does. The storm outside was the only one I was aware of.)

The blue was a reference to the typewriter, which was purchased at the same establishment, when Ruburt eagerly tried to substitute one test item for another, you see.
