“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This, then, was the question. The envelope object for the test in question was a piece torn from a hidden page of The New York Times. The piece was small in relation to the page, which I did not see. [Hiding it in the studio while my eyes were closed, etc.] Yet when Seth, through Jane, gave the test results, much accurate data was given concerning the full page that lay in the back room, as well as the actual small envelope object in Jane’s hand during the session. We wanted to know how such a thing was possible.)

The page was whole to me, regardless of the portion of it used as an item. Ruburt did fairly poorly on those test items that were without meaning, comparatively speaking, as far as your results were concerned. He did however leap out from the meaningless data for quite valid information connected to it, though often you could not check this out.

(9:42. Jane’s trance had been good. It is true that we can still learn from the envelope test series, which covered a year. In reviewing test results on two items for Jane’s chapter on tests in her new book, we are pleasantly surprised to unearth several more excellent bits of information that we had overlooked earlier, etc...

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.)
