“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane said she didn’t want to postpone the session even though she felt “so great”— so much like just taking it easy. While we were talking about health in general, I wondered why so many people in our society wore glasses. I mention this here because the subject unexpectedly crops up in the session.

1. Hormones are the secretions formed by the ductless glands of the endocrine system — the adrenals, thyroid, pancreas, etc. These complex compounds are then carried by body fluids to other organs or tissues, where they have certain effects. Here, as always, Seth maintains that we’re not at the mercy of such involuntary processes.

2. Seth here referred to the Frenchman Emile Coué’s famous autosuggestion. Coué was a pioneer in the study of suggestion, and wrote a book on the subject in the 1920’s. His ideas were well received in Europe at the time, but weren’t in this country to any large degree. In fact, his lecture tour of the United States turned out to be a failure because of the hostile press reaction.

Again, this is quite necessary. There is some information and data that does not “apply” to physical reality. Some of it is perceived by “nonphysical entities” who organize it into their system of reality, where it does have meaning, but we will not be concerned with it here.

You know the importance of exterior sound. It is used as a method of communication, but it is also a by-product of many other events, and it affects the physical atmosphere. Now the same is true about what I will call inner sound, the sound of your thoughts within your own head. I am not speaking here of body noises, though you are usually oblivious to these also.

(Pause at 11:05. It might be noted here that Seth devoted a group of sessions last November, December, and January to some of the meanings and uses of inner and outer sound. That material was new to us, and included information on the Egyptians’ use of “inaudible” sound to help build the Pyramids; according to Seth the Romans also employed such sound in erecting the enormous, truly awesome city of Heliopolis at Baalbek, in what is now the Middle Eastern country of Lebanon. See the continuation of these notes at the end of the session.)
