“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I mentioned that the change in Ruburt’s features was authentic, and also that what you prefer to call an apparition did indeed exist.

The apparition, therefore, was constructed by Mark. You did not see it, Ruburt did not see it, because an individual only sees his own constructions; and in this case the idea data was only given to Mark.

(“Did our cat see it?”

For reasons that we will mention later, the cat did sense the apparition. Now, I have told you that there are many factors involved in the construction of matter, and I have explained that telepathy and many other factors which I have listed are important.

This is what I am leading to. Outer constructions are always translations of actions from inner reality into material. Their validity is dependent upon the individual’s ability to receive inner data, to translate inner data, to manipulate energy, and to construct it onto the material field.

I am pleased about the house as you know, and you will both benefit in unknown ways. I am, as I mentioned and as Ruburt surmised, going to keep you but briefly.

(“What about those fragments you said Jane and I created at York Beach, Maine, last August? Were they apparitions?”

Ruburt has passed the crisis point as far as his own sphere at the gallery is concerned, for which I am thankful certainly.

However, instead of our glasses, please consider a very simple situation: the two of you in this room. Now. Ruburt constructs his own physical image, which is, I hope, obviously conscious. You construct your physical image of Ruburt. Now the question is: What about your construction of Ruburt, which is valid as a material construction. Is it conscious—

—and to what degree? If five people were in this room, then they would each construct, in their own personal perspective, their own image of Ruburt, which would be composed of definite, material, atoms and molecules. You would have five actual physical constructions, plus Ruburt’s own. Do all five constructions, plus Ruburt’s own, contain Ruburt’s consciousness?

(“All right, just one question. What if Jane and I go to York Beach in Maine again, and meet those fragments we created; what will happen, if anything?”)

Ruburt was supremely right in his intuitions at that time, however, as far as almost forcing you to take a vacation, and far away.

You were definitely at a low ebb, that had its beginnings before you met Ruburt, being at loose ends in many respects, after the early financial success which was the result of work and expectation.

I would by all means suggest some kind of vacation, and/or weekend excursions of some sort, as they will be most beneficial, particularly for Ruburt.

Again, I am no banker, but you have nothing to worry about, financially, in your purchase of the house. And Ruburt’s suggestion earlier this evening was a translation, and an excellent one, of some generalized advice which I gave him.

Yes, although I want you to develop your own abilities. Ruburt has been trying too hard lately with psychological time, and trying to make his subconscious function and focus, in the same manner that the conscious mind does.

(“You said earlier that when Willy and the bug created each other, they saw solidity in infrared. Would this apply to their constructions of Jane and I also?”)

The trees are most beneficial. The water, applied with cotton, will aid Ruburt’s eyes and help his eyesight.

Twice a day would be excellent. If I know Ruburt, twice a week will be all I can expect.

The temperature will vary. Nevertheless, the temperature is generally cool and for Ruburt’s particular eye ailment the coolness is important, although in other ailments heat might be desired.

Panic causes heat. Ruburt’s eye condition is a result of conditioned early panic, and the cool temperature, plus the mineral components of this water on your land, will help him.

Ruburt’s eyeglasses will shortly need changing, since he insists upon using them. The use of them, however, would not be necessary if he would utilize the healing abilities which he possesses.
