“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 9:00 she told me she thought Seth would discuss my questions #5 and 6, about black-and-white thinking, and touch upon “that article” about micro metal-bending, or psychokinetic metal bending. I was surprised to hear this, for even though I’d been quite interested in the article I’d forgotten it for the moment. It appeared in the PSI News bulletin of the Parapsychological Association. Vol. 4, No. 1 for January 1981. She’d read the article this noon at lunch when I called her attention to it. Until I’d first read the piece a couple of days ago, I hadn’t realized that much progress had been made scientifically in the detection of psychic metal-binding on a micro scale. The presentation of information seemed to be very straight-forward, though I’m sure that it will be attacked by the skeptics in a variety of ways. Perhaps we’ll learn more about the situation as it develops. I’m attaching a copy of the article to this session, for Seth came through with some unique insights concerning healing and micro metal-bending, or PKMB.)

(Pause.) If such an individual can convince himself or herself that somehow the entire affair is more in the nature of a game, then you can have at times some success, because in a game the conscious mind is willing to make allowances, and to “pretend.” In a good variety of cases, however, the formal experiment itself sets up a barrier, for the conscious mind is being asked to cooperate in a venture that it considers nearly an impossibility.
