“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In all these experiments I receive the emotional and psychic impressions first, and then attempt to name your object.

There are various difficulties. I may quite legitimately receive the impression of unendurable heaviness, for example, but then this must be properly interpreted, does the heaviness apply to a heavy psychic sorrow, or a heavy physical weight?

The impression, colon: something presses down. Again, quite legitimate perhaps, but is this a threatening event, or is it perhaps a threatening physical object?

The initial impressions are simple, quite elementary, and always correct. It is in the interpretation and refinement that the only difficulties ever arise. The stronger the emotional charge connected with the item, however, the stronger the impressions received, and the more correct the data as a rule.

Your impression of the building the other evening contained the strongest emotional charge instantly available, that seemed to offer the needed information.

This is the sort of thing with which I deal. There is a constant transformation of data from one set of terms to another. (Pause.) The word short, or rather the impression of briefness. Now I must decide in which way this briefness shall be interpreted. Something brief in time, or brief in space, which could lead me for example to the impression of a small building. Do you see?

(Pause.) The impression stony: shall I follow this in dimensions of physical matter, shall I interpret stony as a rocky ground, or as a stony expression on someone’s face?
