That applies even more of course to Da Vinci, who was a social dilettante besides, but a man of incredible vision—a psychic if you prefer, who invented in his mind gadgets that would not physically come into your world for centuries. [...]

Now: the man who wrote Alice in Wonderland was, I believe, a mathematician of note in his time. [...]

(Jane said she had felt her facial expression change, as described; at this time the data began to change, she said, from the abstract into an emotional personality who was responsible for it. [...]

(“Who was that personality, Jurinis?”)

[...] I thought Ruburt might like to get some information directly from someone who had a greater interest in such matters than I, and I paged our good friend.

The young woman, Frances (Gardella), who wrote Ruburt, with no evidence was certain she would be followed—tomorrow if not today. [...] This should be obvious, because for example there are healthy people also, with no evidence of any disease, who have utter faith that disease is hidden within them, or swiftly approaching.

[...] You were like people who visited the same building for different reasons. [...]

[...] For one thing, men who perform seemingly evil acts but who believe those acts to be right and justified, can be carried along in relative safety for some time before their errors catch up with them, because the power of their own self-approval is so strong.

[...] I used the front page of the newspaper as an analogy, saying that it exhibited far worse behavior and beliefs than any we were responsible for, yet the news and world events seemed to be made by individuals who behaved much more badly than we did, and that further the people involved seemed not to suffer any consequences of note, beyond say losing a job or an election, etc. [...]

[...] In it she described how she’d been approached by a subscriber who wanted to start a fund to help Jane and me with medical expenses. The letter I’d had published recently in the November issue of Coordinate Point International, describing Jane’s challenges, had come to the attention of the reader in St. Paul, MN, who had called Maude with the idea of a fund. [...]

[...] Jane called her editor at Prentice-Hall, Tam Mossman, who had no knowledge of the Dutch Seth Speaks being marketed either; he’s to check with Ankh-Hermes and let us know. [...]

Onchocerciasis doesn’t kill, and the percentage of victims who lose their sight varies according to location. [...]

[...] Let it be known that anyone who wants to attend private sessions must then arrange so in advance. [...]

[...] The “past” races of men live to that extent within your Now, as do those who will seemingly come after. [...]

[...] These checked out in physical reality and are recorded in my book, The Seth Material. Some of these episodes concerned strangers who had written to me. [...]

There are, indeed, others who can help you in such experiences, and they can be of great assistance as guides. [...]

[...] Now in the actual future you are the self who hears the voice of a past self, perhaps in a dream, or perhaps in a projection into the past.

[...] I had no idea who the women were, but I decided to see whether I could leap from the ground in this state to the top of one of the hills. [...]

You chose, both of you, the two people who are the most psychically gifted of your acquaintance, and you called them here. [...]

(The death connection enters in because the bill was filled out by the worker at the lumberyard who obtained and cut the Masonite so it would fit into our station wagon. [...]

[...] Jane is subjectively sure Seth was getting at the name of Mrs. Marilyn Wilbur, who lives with her husband Don in Wellsburg; the Wilburs are good friends of ours. [...]

Those who prove interested in these sessions, and who become part of a group, will be sustained; but always I will work with you in the development of your inner senses, without the display of fireworks for display’s sake alone.

I am pleased that Roarck came for a regular session, and also that he brought with him a friend, who has been a friend of his, though not of mine, on countless instances.

[...] She has not seen Curtis Lundgren, who is now a grown man, since our marriage ten years ago. [...]

When he approached the hill in Perspective Two, he spoke to the contractor who was there before him. [...] The contractor agreed, and shouted orders to people who were working in Perspective Three, where the building stood.

[...] I’m the one who’s got to do it….” [...]

[...] He is not a doctor of anything, for there is no one alive who could give him a degree in his particular line of research, or in yours … He hides behind no credentials, or social system, or dogma….”

Those who look upon physical life as inferior to some other more perfect spiritual existence do a great injustice to physical existence in general. [...]

[...] The Sinful Self concept is a personal one for each who holds it, but it is also projected outward onto the entire species, of course, until the whole world seems tainted. [...]

At the time the sessions began (pause), the world was beginning to seem senseless, truly incomprehensible, to anyone who held any sense of poetry or sanity. [...]

[...] Another image of the self comes into consideration, so that it seems to him that he is expected to be nearly a saintly self—or at least that he is regarded as someone who is expected to perform in an altogether superlative fashion. [...]

[...] Much of this appears in your pendulum work of late, but you both then project those ideas upon the world, so that you think of your readers as overly credulous, or of critics who are overly critical. This leads of course to people who are for you, but dumb; or against you but intellectual.

Now there are some people who consider overall balance a prerogative, and you will usually find them in decent health, with average concerns, and you will not find them taking risks. [...]

(She said the “buried” material about Christ and mainline Christian thought had to do with occult [meaning hidden] teachings and the Essenes, who were one of the four major Jewish sects known to exist in the Holy Land early in the first century, A.D. [see chapters 21 and 22 in Seth Speaks.]

[...] To a certain extent you do carry the knowledge of your forefathers within your [cells’] chromosomes,¹ which present a pattern that is not rigid but flexible — one that in codified fashion endows you with the subjective living experience of those who, in your terms, have gone before. [...] A completely different kind of focus was presented, in which the ancestors were understood to contribute to the “new” experience of the living; one in which the physically focused consciousness clearly saw itself as perceiving the world for itself, but also for all of those who had gone before — (gradually louder for emphasis:) while realizing that in those terms he or she would contribute as well as the generations past.

(Pause at 9:57.) Let those who will, laugh at tales of spirits turning into the trees⁵ — a simplistic theory, certainly, yet a symbolic statement in such societies: The dead were buried at home in the same close territory, to form in later times the very composition of the ground upon which religions grew.

When communication takes place between a survival personality and one who exists within the physical system, this involves a reshuffling on the part of the survival personality, where the ego is momentarily given greater reign … If this was not done, then in most cases communication would not be possible, just because the survival personality would have such difficulty impressing the personality who was still ego-oriented within the physical system.

[...] And so you are not the only ones who grow weary in this respect. [...]

[...] Saturday morning, then, as I was in Robinson’s lumber for parts for Jane’s chair, I met Curt Kent, who used to work with Cec and myself at Artistic; I haven’t seen Curt for perhaps two years, Cec since last Christmas. [...]
