“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause, one of many short ones, etc.) Now I was teaching him, and I went along with his natural interests and inclinations. The antagonism he had for testing came not from the idea itself so much as from the idea of focusing upon detail for detail’s sake.

(Smile.) You might tell him that although he does not know it, he has a fine subconscious understanding of detail, which he then puts together and synthesizes. (Pause.) If he understands the creative uses of detail, then he will not be so consciously antagonistic to it. Now. Have you any questions on this?

Give us a moment. (Pause at 9:29.)

That course would not give the results you might think with Ruburt, or anyone else. When that course works it is because knowingly or unknowingly the suggestions given follow the natural inclinations. In extrasensory perceptions, so to speak, as in so-called normal perception, the natural inclinations of the personality dictate the kind of information that will be sought from any available field of data. The basic inclinations can be extended, for example, but not completely redirected, unless there is an extraordinary impetus.(Long pause.)

There are many areas of knowledge in which any given individual is uninterested. He will not bother to use normal perception to obtain it. Much of the material dealing with perception that I have given makes this point quite clear. (Pause.) Ruburt is correct. I give him access to large fields of focus, I help him change the energy that he uses in perception into other directions, to turn it inward. I made information available to him. Then according to his basic characteristics, he used that information accordingly. I gave him nudges to lead him in the proper direction. Do you have questions?

(Pause.) Are you asking whether or not I would be reached if Ruburt were hypnotized?

(“Yes.” [Pause.] “I see.”)
