“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I can see that my analogy comparing the soul to an organ within a multidimensional psychic structure of the entity is confusing you. [...]

As earlier mentioned (at 10:20 in the 637th session), and simply following the analogy, each self has its own soul within the oversoul, and the oversoul is itself a part of the entity’s multidimensional structure.

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.

[...] One image had to do with an analogy involving plants and counterparts, she said; in it, the leaves of the plants “gave out” messages as counterparts did. [...]

[...] She went on to develop an analogy involving two lines of music that eventually come together into one melody.⁵

[...] Seth is, however, independent, and continues to develop as I do … Simply as an analogy, and only as an analogy, I am what you would refer to as a future Seth, as Seth in a “higher” stage of development. [...]

[...] The few references to Seth Two in Appendix 18 were all meant to be resolved below, including my note that “Seth Two exists in relation to Seth in somewhat the same manner that Seth does to Jane, although that analogy shouldn’t be carried very far.”

[...] Before the emergence of the atom … oh, dear … as an analogy, you could say that the dead hole we’ve been talking about emerges as an atom in another universe. [...]

[...] Often I do need analogies, for to me that simultaneous, creative, cooperative nature of events exists with a sublime simplicity—a simplicity I am afraid that of necessity becomes complex as I try to describe it in terms that will make sense in your space-time framework. [...]

(Pause.) All of our analogies taken together, you see, only hint at the true picture, but if I cannot describe clearly to you in your terms the interaction between Framework 1 and 2, then we will have difficulty with other later material. [...]

[...] It is as if—forgive the crossing analogies—the production of the book (pause) is transferred to another level. [...]

Now: When I speak of probable selves, of course I am not speaking of some symbolic portion of the personality structure, or using the idea of probabilities as an analogy.

From the 13th session for January 6 of the same year: “If I speak in analogies and images, it is because I must relate with the world that is familiar to you.”

[...] This would loosely represent an analogy to my traveling to other planes. [...]

We will be making an analogy here, so understand it as such. [...]

[...] For this analogy alone, meant to further develop your joint understanding of the relationship between your conscious mind and your body, we will make further points. [...]

[...] Seth probably used his 90’s analogy because the other evening on TV Jane and I saw a program about Eubie Blake, the jazz pianist, who is still performing on stage in his late 90’s, and doing very well at it to. [...]

[...] Yet in using the inner senses, you yourselves probe into this universe, and at least in analogy dissect it, the inner self acting as the imaginary knife.

[...] The electric reality of it, coded in a particular range of intensities, is now in my possession, in what you may call capsule form, though this is not a good analogy. [...]

[...] Your beliefs are your palette, using the analogy of a painting again.

[...] This is far more than an analogy, however, for in simple terms it explains quite clearly the way in which your beliefs form your reality. [...]

[...] I know it’s not right, not a good analogy, but they’re like gargoyles on a steeple….

[...] Seth finally found something he could use to make analogies. [...]

This is not necessarily the best analogy, but I wanted to make the point that various scales of awareness contain their own infinities, no matter how finite they may appear to be.

[...] I like the ocean analogy because you get the idea of continuous flow and motion without apparent division.

(The TV screen entered the data because Jane used an analogy in the first couple of pages of chapter five of the dream book, involving a TV screen; she mentioned it quite extensively on two pages. The analogy does not show on the half page used as object. [...] It is found instead in the second draft; rewriting the chapter, Jane then inserted the television screen analogy to help make some points clear.

[...] Coming across the TV analogy made Seth’s data about a screen clear to her—particularly when it also reminded her that she’d had a good image of a TV screen while giving the envelope data. [...]

In fact, the analogy of a plane with an emotional state is much more valid than the analogy between a plane and a geographical state. [...]

[...] Therefore these wires, if we may use a small analogy, will grow thick or thin, or change color completely, like some chameleon-like animal constantly camouflaging its true appearance by taking on the outward manifestations of each neighboring forest territory. [...]

[...] If you will imagine the various reincarnated personalities—and this is a most unpleasant analogy—as the various limbs and other faculties of the entity, then you will see why if one fragment is disintegrated it can be regenerated in the same manner that a physical cell of your body can be regenerated.

[...] I have told you this before in my analogy of the stream and the streambed.

[...] This is basically what I told you in our early analogy with the mazes and the wires.

[...] So you plot a straight course, it seems, through time, never realizing in our analogy that the wheel’s circular motion allows you to transverse this ongoing road. [...]

[...] Cause and effect as you think of them appear only because of the motion, the relative motion, of the wheel in our analogy.

[...] Recall Ruburt’s episodes with the [psychic] library.¹ Those are examples of far lesser versions of my activities, and yet in those terms, and using an analogy, I travel to many great universities of the mind.

[...] That framework of course, again in terms of an analogy, exists another step away from your own Framework 2.³ I do not want to get into a higher-or-lower hierarchy here, but the frameworks represent spheres of action. [...]

In the 28th Session, he used an analogy to explain this dual conscious focus:

The subconscious, in this rather ludicrous analogy, would exist between the two brains and would enable the creature to operate as a single entity. [...]

Actually, this is a simple analogy and only carries us so far, but in the beginning Seth used it as a way of giving us some idea of man’s current (and artificial) relationship to dream reality. [...]

[...] He is not concentrating upon the symptoms—but he is trying to watch his progress with too heavy a hand, if he will forgive the murky analogy.

This may not be a very apt analogy, but the principles are sound behind the analogy. [...]

Here is an analogy. [...]

[...] To continue with our analogy, this cosmic sphere which we have imagined would be a model for every action.

This is only an analogy, but for working purposes it is a fair enough one. [...]

Now: Using this analogy of the white hole and the black hole: To make this clearer, the white hole is within the black hole. [...]
