“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

And secondly, of course, what you experienced. You were not picking up anything regarding Ruburt’s father, as you thought. Instead you were indeed perceiving in your own fashion what was happening here for the entire evening. You are well aware of any changes that occur as far as Ruburt’s own abilities are concerned, or any offshoots, say, from our sessions or work; and so though you were not here physically, you did indeed participate.

The time makes little difference. Earlier, you were beginning to put yourself in that frame of mind, and physiological state, which would bring about the particular changes that bring you to the eye method. This time, however, you were aware of what you were trying to do: you were trying to use your ability in a particular fashion and so you did. You were dealing with an energy source, and it was this that you were trying to perceive, and the reason for the brilliance and also the concentrated area with which you were dealing; not an expansion, but a small concentrated brilliant area.

(To me:) Now, you remember, because of one of your experiences and something I said in a session—or, rather, another portion of me said in a session —having to do with the fact that Seth II, if you could perceive him, would be as small as a brown nut. (To Rob:) And so you were perceiving a core of energy that radiated outward and infringed upon this reality—intruded upon it: hence, the fragmented area about it, you see, and the seemingly jagged effect.

Now, the energy here last night was strong enough so that it could be picked up very easily, but you perceived its approach. Do you follow me? Before it was here, in your terms, you were aware of its approach and began to prepare yourself to perceive it in whatever fashion you could.

Now, such a vision is not only something that you see that intrudes upon this reality, but also something that has its effects upon this reality, and often effects that you do not perceive. You perceive the appearance of the image, but its other effects escape you. The concentration of energy itself, is highly important, you see, and changes the behavior even of the atoms and molecules within the neighborhood of its appearance.

There are, incidentally, levels of motion so fast that they attain what seems to be a level of complete peace. Where motion is not perceived. Beyond such levels, the motion is perceived again and the period of peace seems over. Now, in the case of your experience last evening, the image itself by its appearance activates the air in the atmosphere. In that activation, however, it achieved, finally, a level of seeming peace where you do not perceive it, but in which it still exists. There is also a reason why you perceived it in the particular room that you did, you see.

Now, the energy that was here last night became suspended for a time between the two apartments so that there was a give-and-take. Had you been even more aware, for example, it would have been fairly easy for you to perceive more than you did, and you could have done it through sketching. You could have brought out forms that were here beneath your visual perception.

Now, as you (Rob) might perceive such information visually, it is translated for Ruburt in an entirely different fashion. Therefore, you see, I do not believe that at one time you will be able to get a translation of some of the old speakers manuscripts, but it still will be a difficult endeavor. The same information can be given, you see, in other ways. Now, I am interested in your reaching people at large.
