“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At supper time this evening I told Jane that tonight she was going to  start dictating a new book for Seth, the “energy personality essence” for whom she speaks while she’s in trance — and that she was going to do the notes also. I’d record the “sessions,” adding times, dates, and the barest sort of other material, so that Jane could build up her own notes around those ingredients. My idea here was that as soon as I had a session typed from my original “shorthand,” Jane could add whatever she wanted to about her trance states, feelings, or ideas, while the session circumstances were still fresh in her mind.

In private life and on the world stage, action is occurring all the time. It is easy to look at yourselves or at the world, comma, to see yourself and become so hypnotized by your present state that all change or growth seems impossible, or to see the world in the same manner.

(Pause at 9:49.) The sciences still keep secrets from each other. The physical sciences pretend that the centuries exist one after the other, while the physicists realize that time is not only relative to the perceiver, but that all events are simultaneous. The archeologists merrily continue to date the remains of “past” civilizations, never asking themselves what the past means — or saying: “This is the past relative (underlined) to my point of perception.”

This will not be a dry treatise, studiously informing you about some hypothetical structure called the psyche, but will instead evoke from the depths of your being experiences that you have forgotten, and bring together from the vast reaches of time and space the miraculous identity that is yourself.

(“Okay, go ahead,” I said, bantering. “Cop out if you want to.” I reminded her of the full title of Psyche, and made a few suggestions as to how she could proceed with her own written comments for the book stressing that she could handle them any way she liked. I just didn’t have time for more than the barest of session notes. However, I confessed to Jane, I couldn’t say that I really expected her to produce both the book itself; through Seth, and then do all the work involved in writing the notes too — yet as it turned out, to some extent she did help me annotate this work.

Now: The earth has a structure. In those terms (underlined), so does the psyche. You live in one particular area on the face of your planet, and you can only see so much of it at any given time — yet you take it for granted that the ocean exists even when you cannot feel its spray, or see the tides.

Where is the television drama before it appears on your channel — and where does it go afterwards? How can it exist one moment and be finished the next, and yet be replayed when the conditions are correct? If you understood the mechanics, you would know that the program obviously does not go anywhere. It simply is, while the proper conditions activate it for your attention. In the same way, you are alive whether or not you are playing on an earth “program.” You are, whether you are in time or out of it.
