“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 8:45 tonight Jane said that Seth was going to talk about the York Beach apparitions we created at that resort in the summer of 1963, while on vacation there, in Maine. Jane had been writing about the incident this afternoon and I had wondered aloud if Seth could give more data on this. He had also discussed it in the early sessions to some degree.

Now, as to your York Beach images. Here aggressive and destructive energies were unconsciously projected outward, given a pseudoreality and a temporary physical validity. There was a protein loss on your own parts.

Now even in the case of hallucinations, the originator uses projections from his own physical structure, which he then perceives. Though the mind, or brain rather, may be seemingly passive in the case of the perceiver, the metabolism is quickened, for the body is using energy at a quickened rate.

The emotional charge provides the pattern, and the impetus for creation, and in the York Beach affair and like situations, it provides for the actual projection or externalization itself. According to the physical validity or the extent of physical reality to be achieved, the physical body of the originator then lends, or transposes or transfers, portions of its own chemical structure. Proteins are used, and there is a high carbohydrate loss on the part of the originator.

You used your own bodily reserves to produce the images. You faced the bitterness head on, and saw it objectified. You then for the first time, completely accepted it as a portion of yourself. At this point it returned to you, and lost its explosive, isolated importance. It became merely an emotion among others.

Now. Ruburt was correct. He did not want to admit his own strong spontaneous nature. It has not gone anywhere. He need only strongly desire that it return, on his terms, and he will find it.

That is why it took so much out of him to restrain his own energy. (Leaning forward, eyes open, humorous manner:) To force a lid on that pot was a job.

It is not something to be controlled. It is something that will take its place with the other elements of his personality, merge with it, add its strength, and set up its own system of balances with other groupings of characteristics. These groupings balance themselves. Tell him this. There is no need to treat one characteristic as a stepchild.

(“While Jane and I were contending with those pseudoimages we had created at York Beach, in that crowded dancing establishment—did others in the room know what was going on?”)

They were observed by others. They were hysterical productions born of your own desperation and given instant physical validity. Your unconscious awareness was within them. They had no independent personality consciousness of their own.
