“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A strong part of your personalities is therefore a product of the physical system in which you have physical existence. All ideas of reality must be glimpsed through the physical net which is the materialized form of these assumptions. You are, in other words, physically able to observe reality in a highly specialized fashion. You must, physically speaking, interpret existence in terms of these very definite assumptions.

Again physically speaking, you will find nothing to contradict these assumptions, since physically to you they are all that you can experience or perceive. These root assumptions are the framework of your camouflage system. As you attempt to explore other realities you almost automatically interpret such data in terms of the root assumptions of your own system.

(Break at 10:18. Jane was again well dissociated, as she had been all evening, she said. Her voice was not as loud this time but her delivery had been fast, as though she wanted to give the data without thinking about it. She reported no images that she remembered. Her eyes had remained closed.

(“Geometric.” An excellent reference to the character of the paintings. All of them are geometric variations, featuring lines, circles, triangles, blocks of color, etc., in a fashion definitely angular. In addition, the painting bought by the doctor is also strongly geometric in design.

(“A small building or house with a flattish roof. A lightish color in sunlight. An orange color, and perhaps with scrolls, or scroll shapes, and a banner.” This turned out to be confusing data, and at the same time quite interesting. I thought it all of a piece when Seth delivered it, and still do. It may also involve direct telepathy, Jane reading my thoughts here.

(As stated, neither of us has met Dr. Lodico, and up to and including the time of this session did not know where he lived, although we had his address. All evening however, since writing the letter used as object, I had pictured a certain medical building in our neighborhood as probably the site of Dr. Lodico’s office. The building has a flat roof, is one story high, is of red (orange?) wood that looks lighter in sunlight, and has a series of shingles or name plates hanging outside that might be called banners. I also thought I remembered cast iron grill or scroll works as decoration on the building.

(The photo idea however is quite legitimate, since a photo can be related to a painting in many ways. The areas on all of the abstracts are of course filled in, and also the abstract foundation of the paintings relates them to the idea of buildings. In fact a friend interpreted one of them as being a painting of buildings recently. Jane said Seth might not be able to very easily distinguish between the emotional charges connected to a photo and a painting; they might appear much alike to his perceptions. This is even more apparent in the next data, which I break into two parts.
