“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These habits become quite ingrained. They operate very smoothly. Now when anyone is involved particularly in formal experiments dealing with, say, PK, you run into cross activity in that respect. The conscious mind is set up by your belief systems to believe that PK effects are impossible, or at the best highly improbable.

(Pause at 9:20.) This opinion is backed up, you see, by the habitual use of accustomed neurological activity, and even while such an individual may agree that PK is possible at certain levels, there is a kind of neurological prejudice built in. Added to that is the conscious mind’s position as the arbiter of actuality. This in particular applies to events like metal bending of silverware or whatever.

The same applies to the conscious mind itself, which is not programmed in the same fashion to be the arbiter of microscopic events. It does not feel overly threatened, then, despite this, in many instances there will still be some blockage of PK effects. That blockage may still allow a kind of displacement targeting, however, in which case inner abilities are allowed to operate, but in a rather sabotaged way—not hitting the target with which the conscious mind is so familiar or concentrated upon, but hitting another microscopic target instead, in which effects are then noticeable.

(Long pause at 9:31.) The displacement target effect is highly important, for it operates in many other fashions. In all natural healing, of course (as Jane mentioned this noon), you are involved with PK activity—as you are ultimately with any physical act, and with any motion, microscopic or otherwise. Too much concentration, however, upon the desired end—too much concentration —can bring about a displacement target effect.
