“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane called me at 8:15 for the session, but it was 8:50 before we actually sat for it. She wanted to start early because she was so relaxed: “Come on, Seth, if you want a session you’d better bail me out,” she laughed. “But I feel him around….”)

This time reference is perhaps the most important within earth experience, and the one that most influences all creatures. In experience or existence outside of time (pause), there is no necessity to make certain kinds of judgments. In an out-of-time reference, theoretically speaking now, an infinite number of directions can be followed at once. Earth’s time reference, however, brought to experience a new brilliant focus—and in the press of time, again, certain activities would be relatively more necessary than others, relatively more pleasant or unpleasant than others. Among a larger variety of possible actions, man was suddenly faced with a need to make choices, that within that context had not been made “before.”

The differences among all species are caused by this kind of organization, so that areas of choice are clearly drawn, and areas of free activity clearly specified. The entire gestalt of probable actions, therefore, is already focused to some degree in the species’ differentiations. In the vast structure of probable activity, however, far more differentiation was still necessary, and this is provided for through the inner passageways of reincarnational existence.

(9:39 P.M. “Before the session, I knew he was going to talk about the Garden of Eden, choices, and reincarnation, “Jane said. “I felt this great big block of information, and again I felt it was shattering, that he broke through doors once more. I really got the best I could get, or whatever. Do you know what I mean?”

Before I could answer: “Jesus, that was short, though,” Jane said as she looked at the clock. The session had lasted 45 minutes. “I feel like I’ve been gone five centuries’ worth. I could have been to the moon. I think I’ve got psychological jet leg,” she said—a great phrase. “That’s weird. You can’t believe the time when you get back, sometimes, but you couldn’t have gotten the information any other way. I feel it’s good, anyway….”)
