Physical Images of Individuals

It should be remembered here that all physical images of other individuals are basically telepathic images, formed subconsciously by the perceiver.

Advice To Ruburt

... I have some comments to Ruburt before I discuss his experience.  At least a year ago I suggested that a room divider be kept up to divide his working area.  I specifically mentioned the benefits that could be expected from such an arrangement, and I now most strongly repeat my remarks, suggesting that the present arrangement be kept, or another divider substituted.

Either one should be permanent.  Your home situation will be much more stable for one thing, and such an arrangement is really necessary for Ruburt’s efficiency.  It enables him to direct his energy where he wants it, when he wants it.  The divider may only be a symbol but it is a necessary one.  It is the symbol for a discipline on his part that will enable him to override the vicissitudes of mood, and temporary inclinations.

Two Realities Coinciding Momentarily

Now.  What he saw was not an hallucination.

I have told you that many other systems coexist with your own, simultaneously.  Other fields exist that you do not perceive with your physical senses.  Ruburt was not perceiving with his own physical senses, nor was he asleep.

The image had no specific personal meaning for him at all.  He simply perceived a woman, a survival personality if you prefer.  She was standing motionless within her own system, and momentarily the two systems coincided, which is not at all unusual.

What is unusual is that Ruburt was able to use his perceptions fully to see within the patterns of the physical system, or to see through them to the patterns formed by another system.

Now, both systems exist in actuality.  Usually you only perceive your own.  Ruburt turned off his usual focus of perception.  He focused it differently, and so saw an image of which he would normally not be aware.

The woman left your own physical system not long ago, according to your terms.  She had a connection with this house, though not with you.  She was a friend of the woman above you.  This is the first time that Ruburt has allowed himself such freedom of perception, and he shall have other such experiences.

… Now.  The woman was not aware of Ruburt.

Her abilities are not much further advanced than they were.  Death does not automatically bring enlightenment or development.  Those that are muddled continue to be muddled.  Individual differences always operate.

Death brings a certain knowledge that things have changed, as on earth you know when you have walked from one room to another, but nothing can automatically make the survival personality understand or perceive clearly the new conditions.

A developed personality will perceive them as he would perceive new conditions in the physical environment.  An undeveloped personality will keep his characteristic attitude and capabilities.  There is some difference, naturally, but the degree of perception is determined by the personality itself.

Some understanding is almost automatic, simply because some elements are unmistakably different.  You must understand however that basic characteristics of the personality as a whole operate more fully after death.  Subconscious drives for good are liberated from egotistical fears.  Do you have any other questions?

(“Was the woman Jane saw aware that she had died?”)

In this case yes, but this is not always the case.  Certainly not immediately.
