“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] One result of our meeting [as I wrote at the beginning of the Introductory Notes for Volume 1], was the decision to publish this long manuscript for “Unknown” Reality in two volumes.⁵

5. Five months ago, in the 721st session, I noted Jane’s speculations “that ‘Unknown’ Reality might prove to be so long that it could go into two volumes — a probable development I hardly took seriously.”

[...] In Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, see the 686th session from 10:37.

9. See Note 2 for Session 695, in Volume 1.

[...] (RC, as everyone calls it, was founded by Maude Cardwell in June 1980; she began it as a two-page mimeographed newsletter.) Richard Roberts, of Vernal Equinox Press, published A Seth Reader, a volume consisting of excerpts from six of the Seth books. [...]

[...] The set of eight volumes will be called The Early Sessions, and will be sold by subscription only, at least in the beginning.

Sue Watkins, who described Jane’s ESP class so well in her two-volume Conversations with Seth, recently began doing research for Conversations with Jane Roberts: A Multidimensional Memoir.

[...] It is scattered through the following sessions that John has witnessed: 37, 54, 63, 70, 95, 135, 166, in Volumes 1 through 3.)

A few times the voice reached startling volume. [...]

[...] They had recognized elements of my voice, but because of the volume did not really think it was mine. [...]

(I think Seth commented on Volume 2 of “Unknown” because of all the returns Volume 1 is getting these recent weeks, after initially selling very well. [...]

“Unknown” Two will indeed almost immediately bring about an excellent increase of sales of volume 1—and when the two books are out they will give you an excellent additional steady income. [...]

[...] The Tone and Volume One controls are set as far to the left as possible during recording. The Volume Two control has been set at 4, and unless otherwise noted this setting will not be changed for the rest of the evening, whether I am speaking as Seth or myself. [...]

(During this paragraph Jane’s voice really grew in strength and volume, although it was to become stronger later on. She began to approach the volume of the voice used in the 158th session. [...]

(Jane’s voice again climbed the scale in volume. [...] During some passages, up until break time, the volume of sound she produced made my ears ring. [...]

(Jane’s voice had been slowly growing in volume since last break. [...] The electric eye on the recorder closed, meaning that it was recording, as far as I know, at maximum volume.)

[...] We’re up to Volume 77 for the “regular” and book sessions, and Volume 22 for the private or “deleted” material. Here’s the note Jane wrote this morning and inserted in Volume 77, where I’m keeping a few sheets of paper to record the next session: “Something from Seth over the weekend—only got a little—something about earth’s grid of perception being so constructed that…. [...]

[...] See Appendix 8 for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality.

[...] Seth, in Session 705 for June 24, 1975, in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality: “There is no transmigration of souls, in which the entire personality of a person ‘comes back’ as an animal. [...]

The volume of the voice is the result of a buildup of power, or energy. [...]

The volume exerts a kind of kinetic cadence that results in certain electromagnetic and biochemical changes. [...]

2. I’ve directed the reader to them before — but in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality see Jane’s information on neurological speeds in appendixes 4 and 5. As I wrote in Note 19 for Appendix 12: “My personal opinion is that although many may find it difficult reading, Appendix 4 contains some of the most important material in Volume 1.” [...]

8. A longer version of this material from the 657th session is presented in Note 3 for Session 683, in Volume 1; I wanted to tell readers a little about counterparts then — not only to get them interested in Volume 2 before it was published, but to show the direction in which Seth’s material was headed.

(Continuing to trace such references back through the material, I’d like to direct the reader to several passages from the 683rd session for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality; in them Seth contends with variations on the counterpart theme as they’re developed in certain other probable realities:)

6. Perhaps I should have briefly discussed it in Volume 1, but ever since Seth originally gave his “Joe, Jane, Jim, and Bob” material (as I call it) in the 683rd session, I’ve wondered about possible connections between the probabilities described in that session and our own reality: How much of our species’ distorted, intuitive knowledge of those probable realities may appear as myth and oddity in our camouflage universe? [...]

(Among others, see the 60th-73rd sessions in Volume 2.)

[...] All in Volume 3.)

[...] Volume 3.)

(The value climate of psychological reality has been designated by Seth as the first of the basic laws of the inner universe, and was first discussed in the 44th session, in Volume 2.

2. See the 683rd session in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. As Seth told us: “All kinds of time — backward and forward — emerge from the basic unpredictable nature of consciousness, and are due to ‘series’ of significances … Memory operates backward and forward in time.”

[...] See, for instance, the quotations from the 690th session in Volume l; Seth discussed the ability of our species to precognitively alter the present from the future. [...]

3. In the 684th session for Volume 1, Seth came through with one of my favorite statements (even if it is grammatically incorrect): “The cells precognate.” [...]

At 10:48 in the 705th session for Volume 2, see Seth’s remarks on introducing “new” genetic information into a damaged cell; a time-reversal principle is involved.

[...] I quoted a few lines from the same session midway through the Introductory Notes for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality (as well as after the 724th session in Volume 2), and considered some thoughts about our attempts to grasp Seth’s concept of simultaneous time. The notes introducing this first volume also contain other applicable material having to do with Jane’s trance production times for the Seth books.

[...] Jane’s voice had very gradually increased to a near-normal volume.)

[...] See the notes in Volume 4, on page 274, for a summary given during the 190th session. [...]

(See the sessions from 122-130, in Volume 3.)

The volume in Ruburt’s case was caused by proximity, among other things, and if I set up a small sound very close to him, so that it has an explosive and loud effect; but it was directed in such a manner that it was in a large measure closed off. [...]

[...] See Volume 1.)

[...] With Winged also makes interesting reading along with the verse from her much earlier poem, Summer Is Winter; see page 1 of Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality).

(See the notes on page 269, Volume 5, of the 232nd session, dealing with Jane’s recent poetry book and the request by Jane’s publisher, F. Fell, that she send it to him along with a tape of some of the poems, also by Jane. [...] See the notes on page 312, Volume 5. Seth hasn’t named any specific publishers in his predictions, nor have we asked.

[...] See Volume 5, page 287.

[...] See Volume 5, page 81. [...]

[...] On page 293, Volume 5, he stated that he is hardly omnipotent—“Nor, strictly speaking, is such omnipotence possible.” [...]

2. Did I go overboard on “Unknown” Reality? Why did I choose to do notes for it —let alone publish it in 2 volumes? [...]

7. Because I think they contain some of Seth’s most basic information, I also presented these quotations from the 14th session in my Introductory Notes for Volume 1. Additional material from the 14th session can be found in Appendix 13 (in Volume 2), and its Note 4.

1. In Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, see the 683rd session just after 10:11. [...]

2. See Chapter 3 (among others) of Jane’s Politics: “Models and Beloved Eccentrics,” as well as Note 11 for the 721st session in this Volume 2.

5. Jane used an imaginary musical analogy in describing her sleep-state experience with “mental earphones” — but here are two psychic events of hers that can serve as real-life analogies: 1. Her reception 10 months ago, while asleep, of multidimensional data from Seth, which she followed the next day with her own material on neurological pulses; see Appendix 4 in Volume 1. 2. Her hearing Seth’s thunderous voice in her sleep two months ago, as described in the opening notes for the 710th session.

I will congratulate you both on your handling of today’s situation and Prentice, and taxes (and sample page proofs for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality). [...]

[...] It should be obvious that the two volumes of “Unknown” Reality are further ramifications of that thesis, for here Seth shows us the usually invisible psychological dimensions that underlie the known world. [...]

The two volumes of “Unknown” Reality hardly tie truth up in neat packages, though, so that after completing them the reader can claim to know all of the answers. [...]

Now it seems that my own purposes in preparing these volumes were too gargantuan to ever accomplish more than partially. [...]

[...] By using simple session notes only, we can get that next book to the public in a minimum of time, and it should be published shortly after this second volume of “Unknown” Reality — perhaps within just a few months.

(There were clear-cut connections between her creative performance today and her reception of the outline for The Way Toward Health last March; see the notes at 10:45, as well as Note 8, for Session 713; and in Volume 1, see Appendix 7. But there was even more creative expression to come through Jane this evening, not only in the session itself of course, but after it, as I try to explain in the concluding notes.

[...] Since it’s obviously part of “Unknown” Reality too, however, the entire session is presented in place in Volume 2. The same reasoning applies to the material each of us contributed at session’s end.

But see Note 1 (with its references) for Session 697 in Volume 1; it contains some of Seth’s material on the consciousness connected with any information.

[...] For some Atlantis material and references in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, see Appendix 14.

[...] I had indeed been watching the volume of her voice, for several times during this delivery I thought I noticed a tendency to escalate in volume. [...]

[...] See Volume 3.)

[...] See Volume 3.

[...] Incidentally, I depend upon you, Joseph , now, to watch the volume of the voice. [...]
