“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Alone, each negative interval may be negligible, but taken en masse this adds up until there is as much negative matter as there is positive matter.

[...] You will not be able to determine its existence by any calculations aimed at discovering the existence of weight of mass. [...]

[...] It had something to do with her perception of two identical masses of landscape, one being meant to duplicate the other. At the same time, she said, the duplicating mass would have to displace another equal mass to make room for the duplication.

[...] During the week after the Dutch edition arrived, we received from Tam the contracts for God of Jane and Mass Events, both of which contain phrases and clauses in an effort to get around Prentice-Hall’s habit of withholding percentages of earnings against returns. [...] Prentice-Hall even wants to apply any losses for God of Jane against Mass Events after 18 months, in an effort to make one book pay for another! [...]

[...] I bitterly resent the cutting in the first place, and the time that will be spent away from Mass Events, now, as I do all the work necessary to make our points. [...]

[...] The notes Seth referred to are those I wrote this afternoon and tonight for the first session of the latest Seth book, Mass Events. [...] At the moment I still feel that I’m searching for that one intense focus-approach to my work for Mass Reality that will finally mean I’m under way on that project.)

[...] I’m quoting the first verse of the poem in the front matter for Mass Events. [...] Jane also described events relative to her creation of “A Psychic Manifesto” in Chapter 14 of God of Jane [I expect to finish the notes for Mass Events within a couple of weeks.]

[...] Events can trigger genetic activity—not simply through, say, chemical reactions, but through individual and mass beliefs about the safety or lack of it in the world at large.

[...] It is not therefore of the same intensity, though it may contain the same approximate electrical mass.

[...] They have a particularly strong electrical mass. [...]

(And here we have an excellent capsule answer as to why Jane has grown progressively worse since beginning Mass Events—see her paper of last December about her unease over that book and God of Jane—and why her symptoms have become even worse as the publication date of Mass Events draws near. [...]

[...] She continued that she felt that my feelings about Prentice-Hall had influenced my own feelings about Mass Events, and so they have. [...]

The main issues with which the Sinful Self was concerned were focused most clearly in Mass Events and God of Jane, since more than the other books they represent a direct confrontation “attacking” the very legitimacy of the entire concept of sin and evil, insisting more dramatically on the good intent of man’s basic impulses. [...]

[...] I’d forgotten to do it last night, so absorbed was I in working on the copy-edited Mass Events. [...]

[...] Many of the ideas I have given you lately were indeed in Mass Events (as Jane remarked today), but they have become alive now. [...]

(Session 819, which was held last Saturday evening, had nothing to do with Mass Events. [...]

[...] We’ve had 31 private or nonbook sessions since then, and a number of them contain information on Frameworks 1 and 2 — much of it relevant to that presented in Mass Events. [...]

(Today I mailed to those in command at Prentice-Hall eight copies of our letter to the legal department, in response to their letter of November 24 explaining the disclaimer they want to use in Mass Events. [...]

[...] He felt also that my ideas in Mass Events, and his ideas in God of Jane, were almost bound to bring about some controversy from the beginning—for reasons he largely worked out for himself—and they are related in his book. [...]

[...] You may perfect, in other words, but you cannot again enter into that frame of reference as a completely participating consciousness following, say, the historic trends of the time, joining into the mass-hallucinated existence that resulted from the applied consciousness of your self and your “contemporaries.”

[...] Your life is your own personal experience- perspective, and when at death you take it out of the mass physical time context, then you can experience it in many ways. [...]

[...] The anima serves not only as a personal but as a mass-civilizing influence, mellowing strongly aggressive tendencies and serving also as a bridge both in communicating with women in a family relationship, and in communication also as it is applied through the arts and verbalization.

Ideally, left alone, these operations would result in a balance individually and en masse, where aggressiveness was always used creatively, as indeed it can and should be.

[...] Jane and I attended a jazz mass presented by Joe Masters in the Presbyterian Church, in Horseheads, just north of Elmira, NY, where we live. [...]

(Shortly after the mass began, I became aware of what seemed to be solid but invisible waves that beat against both ears externally. [...]

(Jane also felt strong thrilling sensations at the jazz mass, saying they were like the sensations she attains during psy-time, that she calls her good state, and occasionally ecstasy.

There are many kinds of mass or shared dreams. For now, we will be concerned with mass dreams that have an almost universal nature; that is, dreams that are shared at one time or another by the majority of living persons on your planet.

[...] Coherence, illusion of permanency, placement in space, mass and color are all arrived at and agreed upon in the ways already explained. [...]

“Precognitive and Mass Dreams”

[...] The people already know them in mass dreams before they are recognized in physical reality.

[...] Action may have mass. It may not have mass in other instances. [...]

[...] Mass Events was supposed to come out on March 13, but this date is evidently in error, since we’ve just learned we won’t see front-matter proofs until next week. [...] But we’re still uneasy over the whole Mass Events affair —the disclaimer question, Jane’s reaction to the book itself since Seth started giving it, etc.—and any delay only serves to make us more suspicious, I’m afraid. [...]

[...] the condition of your physical world is the result of your mass inner thoughts and desires. And your physical world is the result of your mass inner thoughts and desires. [...]

After death, for example, an individual may continue to create these — masses of individuals may — until they realize that the frameworks are no longer necessary. [...]

[...] The outward manifestations given to the masses of the people became so distorted, however, that the original unity of the religion finally decayed.

(And those strange feelings of Jane’s are precisely why we’re presenting this session in Mass Events, even though it isn’t book dictation. [...]

[...] You do not understand or perceive the ways in which your reality contributes to the foundation of the mass-world reality that you experience. [...]
