033 Cosmic Scalawags and Falling Trees -- Decoding Seth's 'Essence-Energy' and the Psychology of Psychic Confidence

Session 33, recorded on the evening of Monday, March 9, 1964, explores the fundamental nature of the entity known as Seth, the complex dynamics of the communication process, and the interplay between inner senses and physical reality.

The Nature of Seth’s Existence: Energy, Structure, and Consciousness

A central theme of the session is Seth's detailed explanation of his own existence, a topic he addresses to assuage the concerns of the medium, Jane Roberts (referred to as "Ruburt"). Seth emphatically rejects conventional spiritualist terminology, defining himself not as a disembodied "spirit" but as a structured, conscious energy form.

An Existence of Malleable Structure

While rejecting formlessness, Seth confirms that he possesses a definite structure, which he compares to an "energy transferral complex." This structure, however, is not fixed. He explains his ability to alter the alignment of his core components to operate under different conditions, a process he likens to a human contorting their body to fit into a small space, but on a vastly more fundamental level.

Dynamics and Mechanics of the Seth Sessions

The session provides significant insight into the psychological and psychic interplay among Seth, Jane (Ruburt), and her husband, Joseph. It highlights Jane's anxieties, Joseph's crucial stabilizing role, and the mechanics of the trance state itself.

The Trance State and Vocal Phenomena

Joseph questions Seth about the mechanics of the trance state. Seth explains that he does not induce it in a conventional sense. Rather, "Ruburt switches another channel on, through which my essence can enter more readily." This is described as a focusing upon an "objective inner stimulus."

Inner Senses, Precognition, and Data Distortion

The session delves into the practical application and reliability of the inner senses, using recent events in Jane's and Joseph's lives as case studies. A clear distinction is made between direct experience via the inner senses and the "camouflaged distortions of translated secondhanded experience" provided by the outer senses.

The Falling Tree Limb

Before the session, Joseph recounts an incident where a large limb from a dead elm tree fell, narrowly missing their house. He had studied the tree earlier, noting its decay, and wondered if he had unconsciously known it would fall. Seth confirms this was an instance of precognition.

The Kennedy Assassination Poem

A more profound example of precognition discussed is a poem Jane wrote on November 20, 1963, two days before the assassination of President Kennedy. The poem, titled "If You Are Ruled By Facts," speaks of a slayer who will find his features changed "Into the victim’s mask."

Specific Guidance and Information

The session includes answers to several direct questions posed by Joseph, covering professional advice, personal health, and the nature of Seth's own plane of existence.
