“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, the Greek philosopher Plato [427?–347? B.C.] described how the fabled island continent of Atlantis sank beneath the ocean west of the Pillars of Hercules — the Strait of Gibraltar — some 12,000 years previously. Looking backward in time, Plato heard the story of Atlantis from his maternal uncle, Critias the Younger, who was told about it by his father, Critias the Elder, who heard about it through the works of the Athenian statesman and lawgiver, Solon, who had lived two centuries earlier [c. 640–559 B.C.]; and Solon got the story of Atlantis from Egyptian priests, who got it from ———? Whether Atlantis actually existed in historic terms, its location, the time of its suggested demise, and so forth, are of course points strongly contested by scholars, scientists, and others.

“As I was getting ready for bed after our last Seth session, I suddenly wondered about Atlantis. Then from Seth, mentally, I thought, I got the information that Atlantis, as it’s come down to us in myth and story, was actually a composite of three civilizations. Atlantis is a myth in response to a truth, then, I suppose. Next I got that Plato picked up the Atlantis material himself, psychically — he didn’t get it the way he said he did. I never ask Seth about Atlantis; I’m afraid the cultish ideas connected with it turned me off long ago.”

[...] Plato conceived [of] it as the world of ideals, seeing within it the perfect model behind each imperfect physical phenomenon.

[...] Plato then saw Framework 2 as a splendid, absolute model in which all the works of man had their initial source. [...]

You are each as valid as Socrates or Plato. [...] Socrates and Plato — and William James (note that I smiled) — specialized in certain fashions. [...]

You may signify this to yourself symbolically, so that the board or the automatic writing designates its origin as being Socrates¹⁰ or Plato. [...]

4. Plato, the Greek philosopher, poet, and logician, lived from about 427 to about 347 B.C. Throughout his mature life he treated what he considered to be man’s God-given ideas in a series of Dialogues, or free conversations.

[...] Apart from that, the legend as picked up, so to speak, by Plato (see Appendix 14) was a precognition of the future probability, an image of an inner civilization of the mind actually projected outward into the future, where it would be used as a blueprint, dash — the lost grandeur, as, in other terms, Eden became the lost garden of paradise.
