136 Why Identical Telepathy Is Impossible

Session 136 recorded March 1, 1965.

Grab a drink, kick back, and let’s explore the electrical vibes Seth was laying down while Jane Roberts (referred to as Ruburt) was busy smoking and channeling in a deep trance.

The Marketing Side-Hustle

Before getting into the heavy metaphysical lifting, Seth starts with some surprisingly practical career advice for Ruburt. He suggests setting aside just one day a week for the "marketing of his own manuscripts" and forgetting about the business side the rest of the time. Even in 1965, the struggle between being a creative and being a salesperson was real.

Energy is a Cosmic Juggling Act

Seth describes the electrical universe as a restless, high-energy performance. If you think reality is stable, think again. Energy is never still, and no electrical impulse is identical from one nanosecond to the next.

• The Change Rule: Without change, there’s no identity, no experience, and no "value fulfillment." If things stayed the same, you wouldn't even exist.
• The Anti-Clone Policy: Seth is very clear: there are no duplicates. Not even identical twins are actually identical.
• Electronic Identities: Our identities exist in a "codified form" within this electrical universe. Essentially, you’re a unique piece of cosmic software that can’t be copy-pasted.

Telepathy: The Ultimate Game of "Telephone"

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, Seth has the receipts to prove why. When Person A sends a thought to Person B, B does not receive the original thought.

• The Transmission Glitch: At the point of transmission, the sender forms an electrical pattern to try to duplicate the thought. But since action forces change, the impulse shifts the moment it's sent.
• The Receiver’s Interpretation: Person B receives a "new thought" that looks like the original but isn't. They then interpret it based on their own "accustomed range" of frequencies.
• The Loss Factor: If A actually gave B the identical thought, A would no longer have it. Since A keeps the thought, B can only ever have a similar approximation.

Why Emotions Hit Different

Ever notice how a text from an ex or a high-stakes argument sticks in your brain better than a grocery list? Seth explains that emotions have a "particularly strong electrical mass."

• Vividness: Thoughts wrapped in strong emotion carry more weight and are more likely to be interpreted successfully by the receiver.
• High Intensity: Emotional impulses fall within powerful intensities that we are all habitually accustomed to reacting to. It’s like the "bass boost" of the electrical universe.

The "Ice Water" Warning

The session ended abruptly because someone knocked on the door at 10:23 PM. Jane was in such a deep trance that the interruption felt like being "doused with ice water." Pro tip from the 60s: if you’re channeling a multidimensional personality, maybe lock the front door and move to the bedroom for some peace and quiet.

A Note from the Medium

"Change alone allows for the possibility of identity within any universe, for without change there can be no value fulfillment, no experience, and no identity."
