“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Actually, my wife has become pretty much housebound. She’s spending her time with the sessions, working on her book of poetry, and painting. For a long time now I’ve been doing it all in the outside world. I’ll summarize the central challenge of Jane’s life, and of my own, by presenting in Note 1 the private, or deleted, portion of the session she held last Monday night. We’ve been quite discouraged at times lately, yet Seth has had a different story to tell. Our struggle, our challenge, and one that’s most difficult for us, is to understand his material as much as possible.

Such effects may (underlined) appear suddenly within time’s context, rather than slowly emerge, say, into that framework. It is, of course, that kind of outside-of-time activity that in your terms explains the origin of your universe. There are dimensions of activity, then, that do not appear within time’s structure, and developments that happen quite naturally, following different laws of development than those you recognize. It is not just that highly accelerated versions of time can occur at other levels of actuality (long pause), but that there are dimensions in which those [versions] are no impediments to the natural “flow” (pause) of events into expression.

(Long pause at 9:44.) It is probably almost impossible for man to see that he forms the idea of historical context through his own associations and focuses. The heavy, specialized use of so-called rational thought has often caused him to narrow even his neurological recognition of other kinds of experience that might enlarge his view. In dreams there is greater leeway in that regard. Consciousness becomes more familiar with its own inner motion, and even with the kinds of work and actions it performs outside of its usual waking prejudices. The story of the Creation, as Biblically stated, is the symbolic representation of a master event—a legend that became its own event, of course, forming about it whole arts and cultures, religions and disciplines. The same applies to Christianity itself, for all of the seemingly historical events connected with the official (underlined) Christ did not happen in physical reality. They happened at another level of actuality, and were inserted into your time framework—touching a character here, a definitely known historical event there, mixing and merging with the events of the time, until the two lines of activity were so entwined that you could not unravel one without unraveling the other (all very intently).
