“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Much work went into this presentation, and a response has been materializing through phone calls, personal visits, and the mail. The series was built around the acceptance of the first book of the Seth material by Prentice-Hall.

I will thank our friend personally for the work that went into the article.

There was something rather important that I could not and would not force, and I have mentioned this before. There were several in quote “keys” that could unlock, direct and focus the full abilities in Ruburt’s personality. Our sessions were one of these keys.

Information quite literally must be sifted through the layers of the medium’s personality. (Pause.) The nervous system reacts to the information even as it translates it. Nothing is neutral. Nothing can be neutral in those terms. The information is received and translated, as it must be, into mechanisms which the nervous system can handle and interpret and translate in physical terms. The information then, like any perception, becomes a part of the nervous system’s structure. It cannot be otherwise.

It is literally impossible for you, and it is a logistic contradiction to imagine, with your physical structures, that any perception can be received unless the perceiver’s own inner situation is altered. I am trying to make it as clear as possible that information automatically blends with, is intermingled with, and enmeshed with, the entire (pause), physically-valid (hyphen) structure of the personality.

Now in any ordinary clairvoyant event, in a low mood, Ruburt or any individual may, according to time and circumstance, overemphasize or misinterpret information, overstating say, pessimistic elements. (Pause.) Personalities strongly (underlined) given to the need for self-punishment will consistently misinterpret such information, or any information.

Now. It is true that much of our work is done outside of session time. Session time often represents the end result of our work. In projections other portions of Ruburt’s personality leave your system. They are not portions needed for physical manipulation. The ego is not even aware of them. There is nothing particularly unusual in this. The unusual aspect, comparatively speaking, is that the information gained can be translated and used within your system.

There are simple stories that can be told, symbolically true enough, but they do not begin to explain the reality, and so I do not use them. The question of my availability, again, is a pertinent one only when you think of personality in terms of one individual, who cannot be in two places at once in your time.

My own identity, in simple terms, has fewer hang-ups than the personality that is operating in physical terms. My range of perception is far greater, as is my range of activity and the kinds of energy I am able at times to direct. Even the quality of that action is of a different nature.
