“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are not aware, or Ruburt is not aware, of the direct inner perception. The physical organism cannot perceive it, hence some necessary transformations. The data may make itself known in visual or auditory forms. Some interpretation is always necessary.

I believe it will be found that differences will occur in the plus and minus charges in the body during such episodes. (One minute pause, eyes closed.) The girl’s emotional condition the other evening acted indeed like a psychological bridge, over which Ruburt could pass. Inner perceptions are never basically physical, you see. Basically, no perceptions are physical for that matter. Emotional patterns are quite wordless. (Long pause.) In other words, if you will forgive a pun, you can never be consciously aware of the basic inner perception, but you can follow backward to that point. You can discover how you use the data, and how you finally recognize it.

There is always a time scramble, for the inner senses deal with basic data in the spacious present. Then the data must be interpreted in the time scheme of physical existence. (Long pause.) With training and experience a neutralizing element will be developed that protects Ruburt against the full emotional charge that he experienced the other evening. The organism itself forms this as a self-protective mechanism.

To some extent this operates with Ruburt now, and has to some extent in the past. You may now take your break.

If Ruburt had done the same thing from the dream state, this could have resulted. A very slight amount of physical weight was lost on Ruburt’s part. This will always occur when any kind of projection is experienced. Much of your intimate existence implies projections of various kinds. Thoughts are indeed small projections of yourself, sent outward.

Now there is a tug and pull, a give and take, between you and Ruburt, as to the amount of emotional freedom you will allow yourselves. The conflict here, in the overall, results in a good balance, though of course there will be times when this is upset.

Ruburt is far more cautious than either of you suppose. When you become overcautious, this can at times, momentarily at least, hold you both back; because you do not count upon this less apparent but quite definite cautious part of Ruburt. All in all balance is maintained.

I do not want to take any more time with this episode. I should emphasize however that full control is possible, and with practice will be achieved rather easily. Ruburt’s personality is so constructed that he would not allow himself to take any real chances.

When I come through in an emotional manner at all, this is often transformed into the loud voice, an overvolume, a static. Ruburt has not learned as yet to transform these elements throughout the whole physical system, you see—(gesturing in a humorous way, Jane rubbed her outstretched arms alternately; eyes wide, smiling)—but focuses them at the vocal cords, which causes difficulty that I understand.
