“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Jane and I haven’t had any sessions for the last 12 days, while we worked on God of Jane and Mass Events respectively. “I feel like having a short session tonight,” she said, “but it won’t be for Dreams. I have a few ideas he’ll discuss….” Yet when Seth came through his material certainly sounded like book work to me.)

(9:54.) Time’s framework does not exist as you think it does. Intervals of existence are obviously not the same. In ways impossible to explain, there are what I can only call inner passageways throughout the universe. You know how one association can suddenly in your minds connect you with a past event so clearly that it almost seems to occur in the present—and indeed, a strong-enough memory is like a ghost event. So there are processes that work like associations, that can provide passageways through the universe’s otherwise time-structured ways. These passageways are simply a part of the greater nature of events that you do not perceive.

2 After the session I wanted to tie in Seth’s material on infinity with mathematical ideas of that concept, but my reading soon convinced me that such an idea was too involved a task for a simple note like this. However, I told Jane, in his own way Seth had incorporated mathematical ideas in his material: I saw correlations between his probable realities, his intervals, and the concept of an infinite number of points on a line—and that some mathematical definitions of infinity are considered to be more basic, or of a greater order, than others. Actually, in various branches of mathematics, from the works of Euclid (the Greek mathematician who flourished around 300 B.C.) to modern information theory, I found many relationships with Seth’s ideas. I do think that Seth’s material on the “origin” of our universe can be termed an “ideal point,” embracing our mathematical systems, and that his concept of All That Is has no “limits” in mathematical terms. I do not know whether my comments here will make sense to mathematicians.

“In high school, I flunked algebra twice, then passed, and I think the same for geometry,” she said. “Most of it I couldn’t get—the teachers just went too fast. When I did understand something I’d get real excited. Sometimes I’d work out the correct answer to a problem, but do it the wrong way, so the teacher would mark it wrong—and that always made me furious. I even had trouble figuring out the cost of ounces of candy when I had that job in the five-and-dime store. I don’t know how many free pounds of candy I must have given out….”

Jane was born in a hospital in Albany, New York, on May 8, 1929, but grew up in nearby Saratoga Springs. She began working at the variety store in the summer of 1945, when she was 16 years old. It was her first job; she had to get working papers and a Social Security number. She was always nervous in the store. “I remember when the war ended that summer,” she said, meaning Japan’s surrender to end World War II on August 14. “They closed the store to celebrate.” That fall she continued on the job after school hours, and on an occasional Saturday.
