Session 135 recorded on February 24, 1965 had a bit of an audience. John Bradley (entity name: Philip) was in the room, which apparently made Jane (Ruburt) a little jittery. Despite the nerves, Seth came through loud, proud, and faster than usual. Jane was seated, eyes shut, and throwing out gestures like she was conducting a symphony of metaphysical truth.
Key Insights: The Electrical Universe
Seth spent a good chunk of time blowing minds regarding how the universe is actually built. Forget miles and kilometers; we’re talking about "intensities."
- Inner Vitality: Everything is composed of an "inner vitality." This stuff is formless and exists independently of the physical "camouflage" objects we see every day.
- The Electrical Impulse: Our reality is a materialization of this vitality. Seth explains that every electrical impulse contains an "infinity of variations." It’s basically action within action, like a cosmic Russian nesting doll.
- Distance Reimagined: In the electrical universe, distance isn't about physical space. It’s about varying intensities. Seth uses the analogy of a dream: you can travel "endless" distances in a dream without actually taking up any physical space.
- The Frog Metaphor: You can't find the "life" of a thing by cutting it up. Seth notes, "But as you cannot find life by dissecting a frog, you cannot find this sort of distance by exploring space. When you dissect the frog you destroy that which you had been seeking."
On Spirituality and Critics
Seth has a pretty hilarious take on people who think they have "spirituality" all figured out. He isn't interested in being a "holy" figure in the traditional, boring sense.
- Not the Holy Ghost: Seth quips, "I have never pretended to be the Holy Ghost." He argues that modern definitions of spirituality are limited because they try to split man into halves (the "spiritual" and the "physical").
- The Duality Problem: This duality has "besieged mankind now for centuries," leading us to divorce ourselves from our own spirit.
- Handling the Haters: Seth is quite confident about his material. He tells Rob (Joseph) and Jane not to worry about critics, saying he will "effectively deal with any such criticism" and they won’t even have to open their mouths.
Homework and Personal Notes
Even a multidimensional personality likes to give out a little "tough love" regarding practice.
- Psychological Time: Seth calls out Joseph and Ruburt for slacking on their psychological time experiments. He basically tells them they don’t deserve a "gold star" lately.
- The Neighborly Duty: Seth shows his practical side by suggesting Jane bring the mail to their neighbor, Miss Callahan, for a few days to keep her off the stairs.
- A Mystery: The session ends with a cryptic puzzle for Joseph: "The number five, a Saturday evening." Classic Seth cliffhanger.
Essential Quotes
- "No action basically is ever completed... All possibilities are open to an action, an electrical action."
- "I show to you those facets of my personality with which you can attune yourselves most readily. I am indeed here, and with you more than you realize."
