039 Cosmic Revelation, Cat Chaos Seth's Secret Inner Senses and the Seventh Sense Portal

Session 39, recorded on the evening of Monday, March 30, 1964, though intentionally brief, serves as a crucial outline for future discussions, introducing advanced concepts related to the inner senses and offering a glimpse into the dynamic between Seth, the medium Jane Roberts (Ruburt), and her husband Robert Butts (Joseph).

Session Context and Dynamics

The session was held under unusual circumstances. Both Jane and Rob were very tired due to a change in their daily schedule, and they considered skipping the session. They proceeded only to maintain their established routine. Just before the session began at 8:57 PM, Jane experienced a "strange sensation" after a short nap.

Despite their fatigue, Seth's presence was noted as "extremely strong," which he later explained was intentional given the session's planned brevity. This strong energy had a noticeable effect on their cat, Willy, who became unusually agitated and persistent in trying to get Jane's attention, even attempting to climb her leg. Seth explained this behavior as the cat directly sensing his powerful presence and being confused by the change in "his Ruburt."

Seth acknowledged their weariness and accommodated them with a short session, emphasizing the importance of consistency while allowing for flexibility.

The session concluded at 9:27 PM. Notably, Rob's notes indicate that on this day, he mailed the first 38 sessions of the Seth material to the American Society for Psychical Research, marking Session 39 as the beginning of a new volume of work.

Key Topics and Future Outlines

Though concise, the session acted as a preview, outlining several profound topics that Seth promised to elaborate on in subsequent meetings.

Personal Acknowledgments

Seth began by addressing personal matters in Rob's (Joseph's) life, demonstrating an awareness of and involvement in their daily affairs.

The Sixth Inner Sense: Innate Knowledge

Seth briefly revisited the concept of the sixth inner sense, likening it to the "instincts of the inner self." He provided a more refined definition of its function.

According to Seth, the inner self possesses complete knowledge of the universe. The sixth sense acts as a conduit, delivering highly specialized and complete portions of this data to an organism. This information is tailored to the organism's "camouflage environment," enabling it to function and manipulate its specific reality.

The Seventh Inner Sense: Extension and Contraction of the Self

The most significant new material concerned the seventh inner sense, which Seth directly linked to the "strange sensation" Jane (Ruburt) had experienced just before the session.

This sense is an actual inner ability that facilitates an expansion of the self's boundaries, leading to a widening of conscious comprehension. Ruburt experienced this on a physical level as his system attempted to "translate inner data into sensation that could be recognized by the outer senses."

Seth's Explanation of the Cat's Behavior

When asked about the cat's frantic behavior during the session, Seth provided a clear explanation rooted in the energetic dynamics of the evening.

This interaction highlights the tangible nature of Seth's energy and its perceptibility, not just by the human participants but by animals as well.
