“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This end would then represent the extension of the self outward toward the physical universe. This extension, as I have mentioned, is theoretically endless. The world of inner reality would then be imagined as existing at the other end of this tube. And in the same manner that one end of the tube would represent the extension of the self into the world of physical reality, then so too would the other end of this tube represent the extension of the self into the inner world of reality.

(Jane had picked up a roll of copper tubing that we had not used on the table. Now she touched the left end of the tube as she held it before me.)

The system or the mental enclosure, again, is only closed comparatively speaking. An endeavor is made to close one opening from one plane, and keep the alternate or inner communication channel open. As an analogy here, the conscious ego could be said to exist within this copper tube, located at approximately its center.

Their definitions in fact squeeze human motivation into an impossibly small tube of action. (Long pause.) When that tube of motivation is all squeezed out, the tube is supposed to then become empty. [...]

[...] But I felt tubes coming down my neck where they’d been so rigid that they bent where they shouldn’t, and the blood flow wasn’t as good in those bends. [...] And I felt the same thing happening down toward the arms, and that there was one long tube in particular in my left arm that had been bent and twisted, like a portion of a rubber hose —and that also had to do with the release of wrist and elbow motion, and that that was releasing, getting straighter and unbending. [...]

[...] There are also lesser temporary kinks caused as the tubes—whatever they are—unknot and straighten out. [...]

[...] But again, it included the straightening out of even smaller tubes, in which energy flows so that blockages were cleared. [...]

(I learned the name of the enzymatic debriding agent, or ointment that’s been prescribed for the ulcer on Jane’s right knee, Travase Ointment [Sutlains Ointment], and copied down much of the information on the small tube one of the nurses had left lying on a table in 330. [...]

[...] In February, again, company officials revealed the discovery of extensive corrosion in the bundles of small-diameter tubes in the two steam generators powered by Unit No. [...] The tubes circulate hot radioactive water from the reactor throughout the steam generators. Replacement of at least several thousand such tubes will cost millions of dollars; if engineers simply plug the damaged tubes, the reactor will operate well below capacity. [...]

[...] From its position atop the pole at the head of Jane’s bed, the Bactrim still drips into the plastic tube, on its way into Jane’s right arm. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) We dwell in dimensions that are far beyond your comprehension, and in many instances what we say is squeezed, as if through a tube, so that the knowledge may enter the relatively smaller dimensions of your present existence.

(At 4:25 Phyllis cleaned Jane’s ears at her request—and with the swab drew out of my wife’s left ear the drainage tube that she’d had inserted almost two years ago. [...]

[...] We would not want to blow a tube.

(In those days, tubes for paints did not exist—all color had to be prepared fresh each day by the artist or assistants, from dry pigment. [...]

Jane’s hearing is much improved after treatment with decongestants and a pair of minor operations in which tiny drainage tubes were inserted through her eardrums—the procedure is called surery—to relieve internal blockage. [...]

[...] At these times you get something of the same effect as when you look through a telescope, and you may think of the long tube of the telescope as the channel of the subconscious.

[...] We would not want to blow a tube. [...]

[...] No keys or other tubing visible, just the long sweep of the horn, perhaps three feet long. [...]

(The snorkeling device enables the diver to breath through a tube to the surface while remaining underwater. [...]

[...] This is always done, of course, with the idea that the right combination of simple ingredients (water, methane, ammonia, et al.) in the test tube, stimulated by the right kind of energy under just the right conditions, will automatically produce life. [...]
