“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Sound was a conveyor of weight and mass.

[...] There was a different attraction of land mass having to do with the altered position of the poles. [...]

As a continent does not exist alone, but also in relationship to other physical formations, so in your terms you form events so that they fit into a mass framework. [...]

Dreams, then, operate as vast mass communicative networks, far more effective at certain levels of the psyche than, for example, television is at a physical level.

(“Despite the beliefs and teachings of religion and psychology, impulses are biological and psychic directional signals, meant to nudge the individual toward his/her greatest opportunities for expression and development privately—and also to insure the person’s contribution to mass social reality.”

[...] These computations are made by drawing upon the psyche’s innate knowledge of probabilities on a private and mass basis.”

(In connection with that material, Jane wrote a paper on March 26, in which she briefly outlined the probable direction Seth would be taking in Mass Reality.

[...] She’s mentioned having Seth get back to Mass Reality quite often lately, so we know that’s what will happen soon.)

(Saturday afternoon Jane finished typing the final version of her Introduction for Mass Events, and yesterday morning I mailed it to Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall.

[...] You can see how your own creativity is emerging in the notes for Mass Events. Granted, you need time to write physically, but the basic creativity has its own ‘time.’

(This morning at 10:00, I took a special delivery package from the postman — a translation in French of The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events. [...]

[...] This happens on a personal and mass basis. [...]

[...] The idea of an infinitely expanding universe, with all of its stars ultimately burned out and all life extinct, is still the view largely accepted today; it’s based on the red shift measurements of some of the supposedly receding galaxies, their apparent brightnesses, the “missing mass” of the universe, and other very technical data. [...] One of these is the discovery of at least some of that missing mass, thus indicating that gravitational fields may exist among the galaxies, and galactic clusters, strong enough not only to halt the expansion of the universe but to pull all matter back together again.

From the 250th session for April 11, 1966: “The atom you ‘see’ does not grow larger in mass, or expand outward in your space, and neither does your universe.”

[...] They have practically no mass, no electric charge, and hardly ever interact with matter. [...]

[...] As a result you forget your natural selves, and become involved in a secondary, largely imaginary culture: battles that are projected negatively into the future, individually and en masse. [...]

[...] It is the one portion of your body, the mouth, that you have so far been willing to “sacrifice” to old mass beliefs.

¹Rob describes Framework 2 in Session One, Footnote 2. Seth discusses Frameworks 3 and 4 in The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events as creative environments to keep in mind also. [...]

[...] It is the … creative product, en masse, of our individual and joint dreams … Our world is a dream level for some other types of consciousness; it’s shared to some extent, then, and can serve as a meeting point.

[...] This intensely moving drama, with all its joys and tragedies, can be compared with your present life, your present environment, both individually and en masse.

In each play, both individually and en masse, different problems are set up. [...]

[...] This session can help, particularly if you make comparisons yourselves along these lines between the private creative event and the mass one. [...]

(We’ve been talking about Frameworks 1 through 4 in recent days because of my notes for Mass Events. [...]

(Pause.) It is not as easy for the ordinary individual to enter, and it deals with group presents, with mass probabilities, racial matters, the movement of civilization. [...]

Directly beneath this is A-3. You have an extension, again, here dealing with mass issues — movements of land, the history of your planet as you know it, the knowledge of the races that inhabited it, the history of the animals, the layers of gas and coal, and of the various ages that swept across the planet and changed it.

[...] You make your own flesh and your own world as now en masse you form the evening. [...]

[...] Now en masse there is an inner religious drama, if you will. [...]

It is also highly charged to hide from yourself the fact that, as a cousin of Richelieu, you dwelt in a highly artificial intellectualized environment in which words were spoken about constantly without any understanding, and in which you personally held forth using words to cower both your friends and later the masses. [...]

All of this may seem to have little to do with your daily personal experience, and yet it is intimately connected, for personally and en masse you can indeed create “the best” of all possible worlds.

[...] Break came at 10:25, after Seth had delivered material for his book on the mass psyche. [...]

(We’ve begun getting letters mentioning Mass Events—all laudatory—and these have helped, as Seth mentioned they would.

[...] Make Rob ill, or contaminate his feelings towards Mass Events and Seth’s latest book: [See last PM Seth session, which Rob is typing as I write this.]”

[...] In your terms, after class broke up last evening another class began, as those events were experienced in the private and mass psyche of those involved. [...]
