“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was due yesterday but was not held. John Bradley, our friend from Williamsport, PA, who had witnessed a group of sessions, visited us yesterday evening. Jane, John and I then journeyed to the home of the Gallaghers, where the session was to be held. When unexpected company arrived at the Gallaghers shortly before 9 PM however, Jane and I put the session off until tonight.

(A very heavy rain and hailstorm developed at 8:30 this evening. It appeared to be over by 9 PM but actually was not. Our windows were open, and Jane began speaking in a voice heavier than usual, as in the last session. Her pace was average, her eyes closed to begin.)

In order to understand my answer it is necessary that our material on the construction of physical matter be understood. We shall also be considering the nature of sense perceptions very shortly, and this data will also help to answer your question.

As you know, you create or construct all physical matter. What you see are your own constructions. This does not mean however that there is not something within or behind what you perceive. All thoughts are composed of energy, and from our discussions you realize that there are electrical intensities within whose range all reality exists.

In such cases however definite atoms and molecules are utilized. Now. In our seance we were, again, manipulating energy and forming objects from it—objects that you could perceive with your physical senses. The whole matter, if you will forgive my pun (smile) on matter is highly intriguing, and we shall have several sessions at least, dealing with the reality of sense data, and the unreality, comparatively speaking, of matter itself.

You may take a brief break before our Instream material.

Now give us a moment for our Instream material. These are impressions. (Pause.)

(“Yes.” Jane paused at 10:12, then took the envelope for our 59th experiment from me without opening her eyes. She held it to her forehead briefly, lowered it to her lap, then raised it to her forehead again.)

(It had begun to rain a while ago. Now the storm resumed in full fury, the worst rain and hailstorm here in 16 years according to later reports. There is a large patio roof outside our living room windows, and this is covered with aluminum roofing. The sound of rain upon it is usually very pleasant. Now however the hail created a drumfire so loud that I could barely hear Jane, although she sat but three feet away. I almost called a halt, but since she seemed prone to continue I did also. The racket was disconcerting and I had to ask her to repeat some of the data.)

(“A connection with an initial expense.” Our buying the rifle represented an initial expense for us in October 1962. We owned no previous weapons, ammunition, cleaning equipment, etc.

I insisted on using phrases meant to put him back on the right track, by saying that the woman shapes were shapes, but I could not get this through clearly enough. Our friend will not see what he does not want to see.
