“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is no doubt that I was caught between life’s contrasts, and only too aware of the endless questions that came to mind. On the one hand there was the Seth material itself, and Seth’s performance in his books.

Certainly our lives and the lives of others have been strongly influenced by the Seth material, changed for the better. Certainly our comprehensions have deepened as a result—yet in the face of that great promise, what was I doing barely able to leave my chair? And if spontaneous order was such a vital ingredient in the workings of the universe, then what was I doing trying to shut it down in my own daily life?

(Long pause at 7:40.) In the meantime, Rob and I often thought that this very book would never be completed. I might decide that I’d given enough years and energy to the Seth pursuit. Without making any conscious decision, I might simply cease having sessions. (Long pause.) I did continue with the sessions, of course. The book is finished. I realize more and more that life’s experience is played out in a framework that stretches between life’s contrasts. We live in a world slung between our dearest hopes and greatest fears, while seldom encountering either in their pure form.

Value fulfillment is the largest issue here, both with Seth’s book and my own experience, and if I really understood what Seth was saying in this book, I would not have needed to undergo such an uncomfortable drama in my daily life.
