“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The evening was very humid but cool after a late-afternoon thunderstorm. Jane felt the humidity as we sat for the session at 9:15. She had no questions for Seth, but expected him to continue his material of last Wednesday night, when he’d started an answer to my question about the relationship between the host organism and disease. This idea had come to her “pretty strongly” after supper: “It won’t be dictation. I think there’s a whole lot there — but you know, it’s not quite here yet,” she said.

As always, I will do the best that I can (smiling), using concepts with which you are familiar, at least to begin. I realize that current experience may perhaps seem contradictory to some of these ideas, so bear with me. I will, therefore, combine the idea of a disease with the idea of creativity, for the two are intimately connected.

It “sings” with the quality of its own life. It cooperates with other cells. It affiliates itself with the body of which it is part, but in a way it lends itself to that formation. (Pause.) The dreams of the species are highly important to its survival — not just because dreaming is a biological necessity, but because in dreams the species is immersed in deeper levels of creativity, so that those actions, inventions, ideas that will be needed in the future will appear in their proper times and places. In the old terms of evolution. I am saying that man’s evolutionary progress was also dependent upon his dreams.

(She paused. Then: “I seem to get things that are different toward the ends of books, like where one is leading into the next one. Take the idea of the book Seth mentioned on therapy and value fulfillment, and so forth, and what you said today about body consciousness. Everything’s related.”
