“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are as a rule aware of one system only and not generally conscious of yourself as anything but a creature of that system. I refer here to humanity at this time. These psychological structures through value fulfillment, ever enlarge their abilities to form new realities and to act within them. It should not be forgotten that these environmental systems are directly created by those who dwell within them, and this includes your own.

Of itself such an experience will not give you psychological mobility through other portions that compose your own becoming psychological structure. I say here “of itself" because certain personalities will be advanced enough to use such an experience as a springboard into precisely these discoveries. (Long pause.)

A trained and flexible ego will be able to momentarily relinquish its dominancy during the experience itself. We will have more to say here in connection with these advanced psychological structures, and what is called the psychedelic experience. At our next session, I will begin also to answer Ruburt’s questions concerning such an experience without drugs. You have many hints, and I will give you further instruction.

I do not believe the following is precisely correct here: something like tottle (my interpretation) or turtle. Perhaps having to do with a name or address.

A note, somehow connected with a dissatisfaction. An inordinate amount of time taken. Too many of something to hold. JB, or Ruburt; that is, Jane Butts here.

(“A string of numbers. Either four numbers, the number four many times, or four separate indications on the item or object.” The only connection we see with the object here is that a number on it is repeated—1 cent is shown twice. See page 203. There is a string of symbols across the bottom of the object, but mainly of letters, rather than numbers.

(“And a solid horizontal line, black or dark". Perhaps close here. There are solid black lines on the object—both the border and the pattern on the shirt. When Jane carefully opened the double envelopes experiment, I found the object positioned thus far as I could tell:

(In addition, the idea of a federal building enters in, in that the object is a pseudopostage stamp. Monument can also apply, for in the U.S. only deceased persons are shown on stamps; thus an appearance on a stamp is a kind of tribute and a sort of monument. Jane said she did not know of this policy. I was familiar with it through collecting stamps years ago. Telepathy here?

(“A small round form that seems to be like a postmark or vaccination mark.” Here again Seth/Jane explores the mail connection with the object, which is a pseudopostage stamp. Jane had an image of a small round shape.

(“Printed or embossed.” Yes. Jane said by printing here she meant my hand-printing on the object, versus handwriting. Also, stamps of course are printed in production.

(“I do not believe the following is precisely correct here: Something like tottle or turtle. Perhaps having to do with a name or address.” Jane said this was her way of getting at a connection with Don Wilbur’s wife, Marilyn. The connection being that Don was spoofed on the object.

(“A note, somehow connected with a dissatisfaction. An inordinate amount of time taken. Too many of something to hold. JB, or Ruburt; that is, Jane Butts here.” We don’t know. Without Seth’s help we cannot see connections. As stated, Jane was present when the envelope object was shown to the Wilburs on their visit here; perhaps Seth was getting at the fact that Jane didn’t actually see the object that evening.

(2nd Question: In what way? “This could be a result of the newspaper connection. Something opened up, symbolically, I believe.” Possibly Leonard’s name arose here because of the earlier newspaper data which calls the Gallaghers to mind. Leonard does have a newspaper connection with Jane and me, in that he obtains the New York Times at work, then gives it to us each day after he finishes reading it. He also gives us the Sunday edition, and various news magazines on a regular basis, so in this sense he has a strong “news" connection with us. His name may have arisen in this data however through distortion, since it would appear the Gallaghers have a more direct newspaper connection with the object, through me.
