“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The envelope results contained a few valid points. The results were well below par however. Jane was very tired before the session, although she said she felt fine when I questioned her. Had I realized how tired she was the session would not have been held; both of us have been extremely busy lately and cramped for time. Jane said she did not let me know she was tired, because under such circumstances sometimes excellent material has come through.

(Jane and I had been quite puzzled at the visitors of this afternoon and supper time. All friends, they arrived this way: A group of two, a single, a group of three, for a total of six. They stayed long enough so that Jane got no work done during the afternoon, or very little.

Value fulfillment demands this slowing down of perception. This is most difficult to explain. Consider using psychological time. You have experiences within a few physical moments of physical time, experiences that are entirely independent of your time structure.

You are exploring the inner contents of a moment, delving into its experience. Now this is what the ego does you see within a lifetime, only to a greater degree. In projections, and in your dreams, your perceptions to some extent enable you to leap out of the ego’s time limitations. The physical body is indeed the ego’s vehicle. You do not need it, you see, for projections.
