“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The inner psychological realization is the important event here, rather than, for example, the letter (from Prentice-Hall) itself. The true event is the psychological one. Ruburt’s readiness to do the kind of book he will now do was signaled by those episodes having to do with me in the dream book.

The signals were picked up though he did not realize either that he had come to the realization that his work would change, nor that he had signaled so. I add to make him feel better (smile), and you also, that he could not have done —I am going slowly here so as not to offend his sensibilities—he could not have done earlier the kind of book he will do now. His understanding, and even his writing abilities, were simply not up to it.

We will maintain some sort of sensible consecutive nature here in the material, though the separation is of course arbitrary. Give us a moment. (Pause.) We will also be developing the God concept in terms of my choosing (amused), the pyramid-consciousness gestalts of which I have spoken in the past. This will be given along with and as a part of the basic characteristics of reality, as divorced from camouflage materializations.

That sort of material has its purposes, and it does do some good, and it does explain reality in terms that many people can understand, for the props and fantasies are familiar ones. There is no necessity for them here, however.

Later, when such material does not affect him, this will make no difference. Some of the Cayce (Edgar) material (underline some)is included here. We will make an effort in the future to give you both some Direct-Experience-in-Concepts—hyphenated and capitalized.

(By now Jane’s voice was more powerful, her delivery sure and rapid, her eyes open often; they were very dark. As she said later, it was along in here that she really began to experience a great surge of energy, sweeping her along.)

(As Seth also suggested, I touched her leg at the ankle, since she sat across from me at the coffee table with her feet upon it. This too helped. I continued speaking to her and touched her other ankle. This time Jane jumped, very nearly violently, her eyes closed. In a few moments she said the mere touch caused her reaction. By now she was consciously aware that something definitely unusual had been taking place, and the second touch conflicted here.

(Jane said she knew that if I hadn’t closed her off she’d still be going; she still felt the energy surging within her. “It’s wild.” She found herself breathing deeply. She had an odd feeling of elephantiasis in her head, she said: “My ears feel like they’re out to here” —and she held up her hands a foot away from her ears. This is an effect both of us have noted occasionally before.
