“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This is difficult to put into words. There is no reason, again, why you can’t achieve out-of-body proficiency, and when you do, you will be able to experiment with thought creations, trying out, forming, using or discarding, thought paintings. In an out-of-body state you can reach rather easily those environments which thoughts become a sort of plastic pseudo material, almost instantaneously.

Now within this framework you could test out many ideas for paintings, various techniques, and see them or their results immediately. This would be a conscious, alert experience. Do you follow me here?

There is personal evidence to be obtained here that can be obtained in no other way. Ruburt has talked of some renewed work, and I heartily suggest that you concentrate strongly at doing joint out-of-body explorations.

In the beginning it will be up to Ruburt to aid you, and with concentration and application he can do so. I do not want this suggestion to go by the board, as it will if you simply file the session and ignore it. I would like this work to begin, and to continue throughout your lives as a joint effort.

Now if you make a habit of doing this, of giving these suggestions two evenings a week, you will ultimately be highly successful. I suggest that the two nights be together. Ruburt should try on these nights one of his methods as he falls asleep, and if that does not succeed, tell him to use the other methods that he knows from the dream state.

Do you want a break?

Now then. You will not need too many experiences before your own confidence will allow you to leave your body without Ruburt’s assistance, but the joint traveling is still important. You can help and guide each other as you do in physical life.

I will help you if a need arises, but beyond that I will give you some instructions while you are in a projected state. I cannot do this until you achieve a certain proficiency. When you are ready, and after perhaps a year’s work on your own, I will outline a general program for you to follow.

You may visit your Miss Callahan, for example, as Ruburt has done. You may visit others now dead in those terms, with whom you were once acquainted. Generally speaking, such visits will involve you however with one main environment, so you could do that indefinitely, and we will want you to have more experience than that. (In Book 1, see Session 28 re Miss Callahan.)

These sessions have their own logic, and their own continuity. They are leading in certain directions that may not be apparent to you as yet, and they do undergo cycles, which are necessary and natural.

Some of this has to do with my intentions, some with my relative availability. If you recall what I told you, I am always here to some extent. Do you follow me?

Your faith in your own work is highly important. Your own out-of-body experiences, if followed through, will even reinforce the sessions, for you will be experiencing circumstances of which I have already told you. You will think of questions, therefore, matters that I take for granted. Do you follow me here?

The more work you do the better I can help you. There will be seasonal and other variations in your own out-of-body work. Over a period of years however this sort of thing will iron out. There are many factors that operate to help or impede our communications, on both your side and mine.

Now you should begin the same week with new suggestions to recall your dreams, but do it this way, as follows:

—visualize it, and feel yourself pleased that you have succeeded. The pleasure at your success is important. You have been too intellectual. Do you follow me?
