“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now all of you, in your own way and even you (Nadine), have begun to be familiar enough with concepts so that in your dream states and in some of your conscious states you are beginning to play around with them, and so we are in a new playground. And in this playground the root assumptions and the rules and the regulations are somewhat different. And the concepts are not to be used as elegant fences that you climb up and, hopefully, over or that you admire, but the concepts will begin to open up for you so that you experience their reality. And any reality to you, at this time, involves emotional awareness and gradations of it. And so, you cannot ignore your own emotions or the emotions of others in the room and expect to use your abilities.

You can all learn to use this initial state of altered consciousness, and we will be dealing with it often in class, but you will each be dealing with it in your private lives. You will learn to examine it, but more than this you will learn to cherish it as you should cherish all the states of consciousness that you discover in yourselves and in others.

Now some night for a small demonstration I will have Ruburt come up from his present state through the various stages of consciousness so you can see them. He is plunged so quickly to the level that we want, you see, that oftentimes he is not aware of the intervening stages. But you will have no difficulty starting with the stage that was discussed here this evening, and each of you know intuitively what that stage is. And you will all learn what true communication is, for you will learn to communicate in various levels of consciousness and you will learn to listen to me in various levels of consciousness, and you will learn to know me in various levels of consciousness so that you can see (feel?)[sic] beneath the words as well as hear the surface of the words.

Quietly. Relax in the way that is natural to you and forget all ideas of tension and, for now, forget all ideas of trying to ferret out the secrets of the universe.

The secrets of the universe are within you.

You were learning what the feel of your own energy was, and each of you must learn it individually for yourselves. You direct it beyond this place and this time, and so it is about time that you learned to recognize it within yourselves and within the others within this room. We should change the name of the class and simply call it a class in communication and direction of energy. Now I would speak to you in my Alpha I except the state is somewhat different than the one with which you are now becoming acquainted. But before we are finished you will feel the power of your own energy and learn what to do with it. (To Eva.) And this applies over here. Now you are receiving some valid inner information. You will have to learn what to do with it. There are distortions, and you should expect them, and there is no perfect state of consciousness. Perfection implies, automatically, something done and finished, beyond which, there can be no growth nor development. Relax. Revelations come through the earth. Revelations come through the seasons.

You will not force secrets from the universe. They only flow and appear, but you are pressing.

Now I am shortly going to close my session, but I have a few words for you. Now, as Ruburt told you, the Alpha I state is an adjacent state of consciousness, and when he has talked about it he has spoken about going below into other deeper layers, and also in his mind, he also has the idea of going above into other layers.

Now if you take any number of layers of consciousness and layer them in this manner, you should realize that each of them has adjacent levels of consciousness on either side, so to speak, so that it is not simply a matter of going up and down as if you were playing with scales. But you can also choose any number of adjacent areas, and there are interconnections between them. But since you must start somewhere, we will start with Alpha I and not with Alpha II. But you will learn to feel your own experience in reality in many other layers of consciousness. And I hope that in class, and alone, you will learn to communicate at various levels of consciousness. And I hope you learn to follow the changes in your own symbolisms that occur in these various stages.
