Briefing Doc: Seth Material - The Early Sessions, Book 2, Session 69
Session 69 of the Seth Material's recorded on the evening of July 8, 1964, is where Seth decides to unpack the absolute mind-melter of an apparition he cooked up in the previous session. Let's get into it!
The Case of the Invisible Ghost
So, remember when a spooky apparition appeared, but only one guy, Mark, could see it? Seth kicks things off by confirming it was a totally legit event. This wasn't a hallucination; it was a "valid construction." The big question is, why was it an exclusive viewing?
Seth explains that reality is basically a personal DIY project. As he puts it:
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...
Seth sent the "idea data" telepathically, and Mark was the only one who got the memo. Mark then translated that inner data into a physical form. That ridiculously huge head Bill drew in his sketches? That was Mark's interpretation of receiving the impression of a "superior intelligence." Even the cat, Willy, only sensed the visitor but didn't actually see it.
Your Reality vs. My Reality
This leads to a chillingly brilliant explanation of shared reality. Seth states that we normally appear to see the same things because we're all receiving similar "inner clues" and constructing objects that are nearly identical. But in the case of the apparition, Seth "purposely short-circuited" those shared clues for his demonstration.
He then completely shatters our simple view of the world by introducing the concept of Primary and Secondary constructions. He asks us to imagine a room with five people in it, plus Jane (Ruburt). Jane builds her own physical image (that's the Primary construction). But then, each of the other five people in the room builds their own physical construction of Jane from their perspective. This isn't just a perception; it's a separate material construction made of atoms and molecules. This leads to the absolute brain-breaker of a question:
You would have five actual physical constructions, plus Ruburt’s own. Do all five constructions, plus Ruburt’s own, contain Ruburt’s consciousness?
And with that cosmic cliffhanger, he takes a break. Classic Seth.
Practical Magic for Daily Life
Just when you think it's all high-level metaphysics, Seth brings it right back down to earth with some incredibly practical advice. He drops an absolute golden nugget for everyday living:
In all cases without exception, fear leads to defective constructions, and the cycle is vicious.
He advises Jane and Rob that they are learning to erect their own psychic protection, especially from the "faulty and distorted" constructions of their parents. He also provides a fascinatingly specific remedy for Jane's poor eyesight (which he attributes to "conditioned early panic"): she should bathe her eyelids twice a day with the cool well water from their new property, as its unique mineral and temperature properties will help heal her. Who needs a doctor when you've got a multidimensional entity prescribing magic water?
