“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(She wrote down the “Latin” book title as best she could: Enada Inaventum [Deus ?].The E could possibly be either an I or an A. Then at 10:10 she told me the translation of the title would be Spiritual Adventures. At 10:15 she elaborated; the title would be The Spiritual Adventures of a Monk at Large.

[...] “I’m not sure, but maybe the Spiritual Adventures thing is connected with you when you were doing those manuscripts; maybe you wrote it....” [...]

[...] This particular kind of adventure in consciousness (smile) has occurred before, and in your terms will again.

(Here Seth was making a little joke, for Jane has been doing some writing lately which she has tentatively entitled “Adventures in Consciousness.”)

[...] The adventure was a highly creative one despite the obvious disadvantages, and represented an “evolution” of consciousness that enriched man’s subjective experience, and indeed added to the dimensions of reality itself.

(We’ve largely finished correcting proofs on both the text and the drawing captions for Jane’s Adventures in Consciousness, which will be published in June. [...]

In The Nature of Personal Reality I stated that the point of action occurs in the present.¹⁰ In Adventures in Consciousness Ruburt said, quite properly, that time experience actually splashed out from the present to form an apparent past and future.¹¹

4. Material (and further references) concerning production details for Adventures and Dialogues can be found in the opening notes for sessions 718 and 735. [...]

[...] See her material on Sumari in Adventures in Consciousness.

1. In the Glossary for Adventures, Jane defines prejudiced perception as “The propensity for organizing undifferentiated data into specific differentiated sense terms.” Also see Chapter 14 in Adventures.

[...] In his book Adventures in Consciousness, Ruburt mentions what he calls “prejudiced perception.’’¹ It is an excellent term in this regard.

[...] Overall, that dream, and today’s, both represented deep feelings that challenges could be met successfully, even in an adventurous fashion—that he was safe. [...]

Nightly adventure: Last PM we ask German couple from Big Flats over, the woman mentioned in God of Jane, decide we should change the pace from intense sessions, etc. [...]

[...] One day in April, 1973, she had a fine series of encounters with massiveness, many of them embodying those extra qualities; see her own account of the whole adventure in the notes for the 653rd session in Chapter 13 of Personal Reality.

[...] Her first massive sensations in March [estimated], 1962, were followed by these phenomena in 1963: our York Beach experiences in August; her reception of Idea Construction in September; her massive feelings in October [estimated]; the outline she produced for ESP Power [or The Coming of Seth] as a result of the Idea Construction adventure; and the beginning of these sessions in November, through our trying certain experiments listed in that outline [as Jane explains in Chapter 1 of The Seth Material]. [...]

Then those of you who are adventurous can begin to embark on some night time experiences such as you have never remembered before. [...]

[...] I expect your adventures to begin this evening. [...]

[...] Instead, of course, art must first of all be a private adventure, sought for itself. [...]

[...] Practically all of the session deals with material stemming from her dream adventures of September 25 and 27. [...] Then on the afternoon of the 25th she had a nap-dream adventure featuring a family reunion, my father, and others. [...]

1. In Appendix 3 of Adventures Jane listed and described the altered states of consciousness that she’s attained so far in her psychic development. She also considered Seth Two in various other parts of Adventures. In Chapter 2, for instance, the Seth Two quotations are cast in the editorial “we,” the guise in which that energy gestalt often comes through: “We are trying to appreciate the nature of your present existence … For you there may seem to be an unbearable loneliness, because you are so used to relating to the warm victory of the flesh, and [here] there is no physical being … Yet beyond and within that isolation is a point of light that is consciousness. [...]

[...] During that time she finished Seth Speaks and helped me proofread it, wrote her novel, Oversoul Seven, and worked on another Seven book [still unfinished], as well as Personal Reality and Adventures. [...]

(I remind the reader that Appendix 3 also contains a reference to Jane’s extraordinary adventure with — and in — massiveness on April 4, 1973. [...]

[...] She was led to develop her own, therefore, and this book is an extension of certain ideas already mentioned in Adventures in Consciousness.³ To write that book, Jane Roberts drew on deep resources of energy.

3. Actually, Jane began the final draft of her manuscript for Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology, earlier this month (February, 1974). [...]

[...] Right now she’s working on the final draft of Chapter 5 of her own theoretical work on psychic matters, Adventures in Consciousness.

[...] She’d written the dreams down, as usual, while wondering about their significance without being able to explain them: “But this material doesn’t go into Adventures,” she noted after one of the dreams, since she’d thought of that possibility first.

(I’d like to add that I hardly think it a coincidence, however, that within less than a month from my “first Roman,” Seth was to initiate a body of information in which he began to clarify many of the questions I had about certain of my own psychic adventures. [...]

[...] So Joseph “was” Nebene, a scholarly man, not adventurous, obsessed with copying ancient truths, and afraid that creativity was error; authoritative and demanding. [...]

At the same time, in the same world and in the same century, Joseph was an aggressive, adventurous, relatively insensitive Roman officer, who would have little understanding of manuscripts or records — yet who also followed authority without question.¹²

The Neuman adventure shows the high activity in Framework 2 for Oversoul Seven, but is also an offshoot of your own new feelings of hope regarding Ruburt’s situation. That adventure alone is rearousing Ruburt’s feelings toward Seven, and his anticipated renegotiation of the Seven contract is a direct result of your pendulum activity and understandings.

[...] You form your private and joint adventures, and bring them into experience by using your physical apparatus — your body — in a particular way, tuned in to a large programming area in which, however, there are many different stations. [...]

[...] You will blithely ignore certain televised dangers as sheer good adventure, while others may strike you to the heart as “too real.” [...]

[...] In Adventures he will be able to do so.

[...] In connection with the practice element that Seth gives below, plus the following two paragraphs of related information, I’d like the reader to refer to chapters 7 and 8 in Jane’s Adventures in Consciousness. [...]

8. Seth’s material here can apply to the “case histories” Jane described in chapters 15 and 16 of Adventures.

I recommend a rereading of Chapter 8 for Adventures in connection with the material in this note.

[...] But those of you who are more adventurous can count on me in the meantime. [...]

(To Ned.) Though we had an honest answer from someone over here in the corner, I would still like a more adventurous spirit so when you ask yourselves the questions during the week then allow yourself, my dear friend, to feel the uniqueness and the integrity of your own personality as you now know it and realize that there is none like it, in this universe or any other.
