“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

She’s just as enthusiastic over having organized the rest of her God of Jane. She finished Chapter 17 today, and wrote in her journal after supper: “Very very very good on Chapter 17—oodles of new insights! Pleased!” She envisions at least another half dozen chapters for the book, but at the same time she’s leaving final decisions up to her creative self. And her book of poetry, If We Live Again, hovers in the background of her consciousness. She’s done little with it since late February. I last mentioned it a month ago; in Chapter 6 for Volume 1 of Dreams, see the opening notes for the 907th session.

Sue Watkins has informed us that she’s approximately halfway through writing Volume 2 of her Conversations With Seth.

1. In Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, see Note 8 for Appendix 19. In it I wrote: “Ordinarily we think of mass as meaning the bulk and/or weight of an object. In classical physics, the amount of matter in a given object is measured according to its relation to inertia, which in turn is the tendency of matter to keep moving in the same direction, if moving, or to stay at rest if at rest. An object’s mass is arrived at through dividing its weight by the acceleration caused by gravity.”

3. Seth’s material in this paragraph reminded me at once of Jane’s own early, intuitive concept of the moment point. In Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, see Note 5 for the 681st session, which was held on February 11, 1974. I wrote that at the age of 25, nine years before initiating the sessions, Jane expressed the moment point in her poem, “More Than Men.” I still think these lines are most evocative:

In the very next session for Volume 1, which Jane gave two days later, Seth stated: “There are systems in which a moment, from your standpoint, is made to endure for the life of a universe. I do not mean that a moment is simply stretched, or that time is slowed down alone, but that all the experiences possible within a moment become realities within that framework.”
