“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“A connection with squares or cubes that seem to fit one into the other.” See the pencil drawing on page 72. Both Jane and I thought this a good description of the little plastic viewer and the transparencies my brother brought with him to show us. The transparencies are of Jane and me, taken several weeks ago. They measure exactly square, and the viewer is cube-shaped, the transparencies fitting into it as indicated by my sketch.

(Jane now explained at break that Seth didn’t want her to say transparencies when I asked her to name the object. While in trance, she said, she had strong thoughts of Loren and Betts and the pictures, although she had no images. She also had no thoughts that she is aware of, of the viewer. When I asked her to explain the object, she explained, the inhibiting idea of the transparencies got in the way. Since Seth didn’t want her to say transparencies, a compromise emerges in which a connection with the actual envelope object is given.

You cannot now do this physically, but you can do this through the use of the inner senses, trance states, hypnosis experiences, and intelligent use of the intuitions and imaginative powers. The universe is transparent to the inner senses. It is transparent functionally. It exists electromagnetically. All realities within it exist in their own band of intensity.

(“A connection with a camera and pictures.” As stated the object is related to transparencies, in that Doug’s father Loren brought his camera and transparencies with him. Jane heard our conversation about pictures and joined in the discussion. She did not know about Doug and me writing on the envelope flap, although she had seen the envelope and flap attached earlier in the day in a casual way.

A good use of transparents in oils will make you more pleased with using them. Movement can be best portrayed also with transparents, and even for rocks. While opaques may be used to suggest physical heaviness, transparents should be used also to show that in actuality rocks are as light as air, and to hint at the ever-mobile energy that forms them.

Now the energy can be best suggested by transparents, rather than opaques, for the opaques are too ponderous. The opaques can be used effectively to suggest the form, superimposed lightly over the transparent energy, but never with a heavy hand.

[...] Let transparents represent the constant renewal of energy that always escapes the form. [...]

With oils again the transparents for the mobility and vitality that gives the form meaning, the opaques to suggest the idea of physical time, and to suggest the apparent (underlined) duration of form.

[...] Of itself it is like a peephole or a transparent area through which other areas can be glimpsed, and through which information from other dimensions can flow.

The personality ego structure had to be strong, for the whole personality is in many respects a transparent one through which we can speak and through which other realities can be seen. [...]

[...] The personality is transparent also with your nature, and learning to use those abilities which are natural to it, can indeed then rather easily learn to merge consciousness with natural phenomena.

[...] Again the idea of transparency. The walls are truly transparent to me though I am not sure I would perform, dear Joseph, and Ruburt, for a party demonstration.

[...] These as I have said have also boundless solidarity and depth, yet in usual circumstances to one side the other is transparent. [...]

[...] I have initiated the idea of motion, for true transparency is not the ability to see through but to move through. [...]

Nevertheless to me the walls are transparent. [...]

I have the impression that it is a picture or transparency of some sort, or strongly connected. That is if the object is not a picture or transparency it seems to be strongly connected with one.

[...] The impression on the object, on the lower bottom, of very small rectangles or squares, (pause) one after another—bright, but outlined in darker color, as perhaps a transparency of some kind.

(“I have the impression that it is a picture or transparency of some sort, or strongly connected….” [...]

[...] However he interpreted them literally you see in terms of the small transparent rectangles or squares. [...]

Many sessions ago we spoke of transparency, and I said that true transparency was not the ability to see through, but to move through.

[...] You are enabling the energy which is yourself to realize its existence within other systems; and speaking merely in terms of energy and action, we are here involved with transparent motion as energy moves from one system to another.

We will later be concerned more deeply with this transparent mobility, for it operates within all systems. [...]

[...] These, as I have said, have boundless solidarity and depth, yet to one side, the other is transparent. [...] I have initiated the idea of motion, for true transparency is not the ability to see through, but to move through.

[...] The walls of your room are transparent to me, though I am not sure I would perform, dear Joseph and Ruburt, for a party demonstration.

“Nevertheless, those walls are transparent. [...]

[...] I also noticed that the skin on her right elbow—the only one I could see—looked much more normal in texture and color than it had, as though a deeper rejuvenation was taking place; that transparent, fragile look was disappearing. [...]

[...] I will try to put this as simply as possible: There is within his psyche what amounts to a transparent dimensional warp that serves almost like an open window through which other realities can be perceived, a multidimensional opening that has to some extent escaped being clouded over by the shade of physical focus.

[...] The feeling now, about the object, of something transparent, or that opens up without actually opening up.” [...] The folding here could give rise to the transparent, depth and dimension, and opening-up data, etc.

[...] The feeling now, about the object, of something transparent, or that opens up without actually opening up.

[...] You are used to thinking in terms of opaque or transparent color. In those terms there is opaque light, and transparent light as well. [...]

[...] The centuries are transparent. [...]

[...] Either it was transparent, appeared so, or was connected with something transparent. [...]

[...] These, as I have said, have also boundless solidarity and depth, yet in usual terms, to one side the other is transparent. [...]

[...] I have initiated the idea of motion, for true transparency is not the ability to see through but to move through. [...]

[...] So, in a like manner, the wires that we constructed are real to us in the universe, although … to me, the walls are transparent. [...]

You must allow the normal waking consciousness to become transparent, so to speak, without however disturbing its flow. [...]

[...] But time is as transparent as the air in this room and your 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 o’clock flies through the air like birds. [...]

[...] Both of those gadgets turned all colors and achieved different stages of transparency and opaqueness. [...] The center section of the rectangle was most opaque and the ends most transparent. [...]

[...] The physical moment is transparent, though you give it a time-solidity. [...]

(Malba said that she is still a woman where she is; she can see herself; she is not transparent for instance. [...]

[...] I believe there is some difficulty, or was (there was!) with the lower right-hand corner, a matter perhaps of needing more transparent lights — not too obviously applied however. [...]

Also a circular object, something transparent. [...]
