“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Jane was so much at ease tonight that she thought of skipping the session, but she decided to try for it because she’d picked up material on it from Seth today, and made a few notes. “I’m sort of confused,” she said now, “because the stuff I got from him is kind of difficult, and I don’t know whether I’m up to it or not…. But I feel him around. I guess I’ll start in a minute, but it’s amazing to me….”

(9:52. Jane’s delivery for Seth had become quite fast by break time. “Wow,” she exclaimed as she put on her glasses, “I was so far out of it, and the material got so complicated, that I didn’t know what was going on. I remember the stuff on particles, but I don’t even know if I got it all. I do know there’s a certain amount I’m supposed to get through tonight. I got confused….”

10:07 P.M. Once Jane was out of trance, I told her that most of Seth’s material since break can also be considered book work, including his hint about his own reality. He’d alluded to her notes a little more, but I was disappointed that he hadn’t developed two particular thoughts Jane had picked up from him today. I could almost hear his amused elaborations upon: “Alone, reason finally becomes unreasonable. Alone, the imagination becomes less imaginative over time.”

2. Just for my own study, I later inserted “[almost]” in Seth’s sentence because I hadn’t been quick enough to ask him to elaborate upon “the end result of an infinite series of sequences” when Jane delivered his material for him. After the session I began to wonder if Seth hadn’t contradicted himself by saying there could be an end result of something infinite. Yet I also felt that he meant just what he’d said—and that even from our human positions alone the ramifications of our individual and joint realities are enormously greater than we ordinarily conceive them to be. Seth had indicated in the preceding paragraph of the session that such faltering of the reasoning abilities may occur. I also thought my intellectual hang-up over the concept of infinity was inevitably mixed up with the limitations of meaning that we usually assign to words.

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:
