“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Write it down for yourself. You do not understand. Our friend here can tell you (to Sue), you can be determined to write such an experience down and forget to do so. You must do it immediately. Now, you say, no, I will not remember immediately after the experience.

Now what I tell you, to some extent, must be distorted because when I speak I use words, but the inner self interprets the words that are spoken. You do not need the words. You do not need me to sit here and speak to you but physically you think that you do and so I am here. Physically you believe that you are here and so you are here but other portions of your identity are in other places and other times, and I use those terms very loosely. They are only to make you happy because the words, times and places, have a meaning to you but in your basic reality you do not know times nor places.

(After break, Seth:) Now, the time has come for some of you, and I have said this before, to go beyond kindergarten class so that we can sneak in a third-grade lesson now and then and that is what we have been doing. What our friend, the Dean (Theodore) here said, does indeed apply and also I acted as a translator. Such messages will be given in slightly different terms. They will often be devoid of the comfortable images that you all know. They are, therefore, less distorted. You like the word warm-blooded, but where do you think your emotional abilities come from. They come from realities that you, as yet, cannot understand and you would not comprehend them and so they must be translated.

All of our regular students attend classes, whether you know it or not. I get you here once a week, as a rule, but I also get you in other dimensions of reality. You all have tasks to perform. Some of you do help persons who have immediately left this system to acclimate to the new conditions. You are smarter when you are asleep than when you are awake. You are learning as much then, therefore, as you do between lives. That is a point that I wanted to make. In your waking existence you are simply focused upon physical reality. When the body sleeps you are no longer focused within it, instead you embark upon other adventures and, in your terms, you advance your own education.

(To Sue.)Now, our Mathilda over here, you see I am not looking at her, is becoming more and more aware of her nightly adventures.

(To Theodore.) And I expect over here, for our Dean, a return to the Great Hall and there you should receive your own answer to the question that you asked earlier, but if for any reason you do not, then I will answer it for you. I am interested in helping you develop your own abilities—therefore, I answer those questions that I think you will not be able to answer for yourselves for a while and those answers that you will receive yourselves I leave open. I like to make you work, it is good for you.

You did not need to wait for me to say good evening. You need not stand or sit upon ceremony, but in case you are waiting for me to formally bid you good evening I do now here forthwith do so. I bring the meeting to a close.
