“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane wrote an intuitive dissertation on the wonderworks idea as soon as she received the title; this took up two single-spaced typewritten pages. She was in “a slightly altered state of consciousness” while transcribing the data. The following excerpts from her paper show the unity that underlies her daily activities; for she thinks that her own dream experiences, “Unknown” Reality, and The Wonderworks — to use a set of recent examples — are so interrelated that practically speaking it would be futile to try to separate them.

(We also see creative connections between the way Jane produced The Wonderworks this month, and the book outline for The Way Toward Health last March, as described in Appendix 7. She conceived and delivered the latter while in a dissociated state also. And as with The Way Toward Health, she doesn’t know whether she’ll ever carry The Wonderworks any further.

“The ways in which dream material becomes real, the processes involved, are the same ones by which the universe itself becomes objectified to our views and experience. The universe is the result of a certain kind of focus of consciousness; the stuff of it, the matter, rises out of inner wonderworks — of which the private wonderworks of each of us is a part.

(The heading The Wonderworks first came to Jane as she sat at her desk last Friday morning, May 17. She realized immediately that it was connected to the extraordinary series of dreams she began having early this month. [These total 33 so far and their number increases almost nightly. I’ve barely mentioned them in recent notes — just for sessions 696 and 698 — but Seth has had a good deal to say about them in current personal material.] Many of the dreams have been quite long and involved. I’d say that some of them are classics of their kind; Jane’s own symbolism is beautifully illustrative of the way dreams can offer insights and solutions to very real physical challenges. Her whole nighttime adventure here is a most practical one, and is worthy of an extended study elsewhere.

[...] [Appendix 11 contains excerpts from The Wonderworks, the paper Jane wrote almost two weeks ago on Seth, dreams, and the creation of our reality. In my notes for The Wonderworks I described her own recent dream series — which still continues, by the way.] And: “In our case,” Seth said a bit later, “Ruburt almost ‘becomes’ the material he receives from me. [...]

(1. At the end of the paragraph of material begun at 10:35, where Seth touched upon the “withinness of consciousness”: I thought his data there echoed Jane’s own, as she recorded it in The Wonderworks.

[...] He will discover further correlations with his dreams and the wonderworks, and I will have other comments.

[...] Two months later, in May, she produced the summary for The Wonderworks, which would be a shorter dissertation on her own dreams, Seth, and the dream-formation of the universe as we know it. [...] Neither Jane nor Seth had delivered their respective world-view ideas when she came through with Health and Wonderworks, so another significant aspect of her abilities has since become conscious. [...] In turn, of course, all three potential endeavors — Religious States, Health, and Wonderworks — must have origins that are closely related to the source of information behind the “psychic library” Jane tells of visiting in Politics.

[...] On Friday, however, while in an altered state of consciousness, she tuned into some material on Seth, dreams, and other species of consciousness; she calls it The Wonderworks, and excerpts from it are presented as Appendix 11.

[...] Ruburt calls this The Wonderworks,² and with good reason. [...]

[...] That appendix contains excerpts from The Wonderworks — material which Jane wrote last month while in an altered state of consciousness, and which was at least partly inspired by her dream series. [...]

[...] They are formed, however, in response to your own conscious intents, and of those materials that you supply to the inner wonderworks.
