“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Going through the mail was rewarding, though — for in various letters I found checks adding up to more than $375. We are both grateful and touched. Now when a batch of mail arrives I have to open the letters at once to see if money has been sent. Otherwise the letters may lay there for some time before I investigate them. I used to keep them unopened until I picked them up to answer. A California resident called Maude Cardwell in Texas, to tell her that he has our permission to market the audio tapes of Jane’s ESP class, which ended in 1975. We haven’t given anyone permission to do that, so I’ll have to investigate the whole thing.)

For instance, the individual might be talking along normally enough when he or she hears the sirens of a police car in the distance. Instantly the person might leap up, convinced that that was evidence of the pursuit of the FBI or other agency.

The car with the siren might disappear, yet the alarmed person’s attitude and actions may very well instantly cause his or her companion to realize that something was clearly amiss. The disturbed person may immediately begin a long tirade, describing previous episodes in which he or she was hunted from city to city. There may be further complications, in which the person insists that phones were bugged, letters opened, and privacy was constantly invaded.

The point is, that in such circumstances the person will try to use evidence from the outside world to prove that he is indeed being pursued.

In the same fashion, the person who hallucinates the voice of God or a demon actually does so to preserve the idea of sanity in his own mind. As long as he or she believes that a god or demon is involved, then the person can consider the entire affair most extraordinary, decidedly apart from usual experience, but valid.
