“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The first half of this session came through because of a dream Jane had last night, and interpreted on her own today. Although they aren’t book dictation, we’re presenting here some of Seth’s own comments about the dream, since they have a general interest and also fit in with his earlier dream material.

(The balance of the session is in response to a discussion of evolution that Jane and I had before the session. This came about because of a note I’m writing for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, and I may quote part of Seth’s material on the subject in that note.

(We hadn’t expected that he’d deal with either topic in tonight’s session, since we hadn’t asked that he consider them. Seth’s presentations clearly illuminate the subject matter of both Jane’s dream and our questions about evolution. First he went into Jane’s dream per se, then continued as follows.)

(As Seth, Jane delivered all of the above most forcefully.)

Give us a moment… If we must speak in terms of continuity, which I regret, then in those terms you could say that life in the physical universe, on your planet, “began” spontaneously in a given number of species at the same time. I am going slowly in order to get the material as clear as possible.

(11:01. Jane’s delivery was very slow with this material. She took many pauses, some of them long. Her eyes remained closed for the most part. What Seth had to say about the spontaneous beginnings of life, in our terms, surprised me….)

(Long pause.) Words do nearly forsake me, the semantic differences are so vast. If I say to you: “Life came from a dream,” such a statement sounds meaningless. Yet as your physical reality personally is largely dependent upon your dreaming state, and impossible without it, so in the same way the first cell was physically materialized and actual only because of its own inner reality of consciousness.

(“Thank you, Seth. It’s very good.”

(11:40 P.M. I was surprised at Seth’s remark, since it seems to me that my energy has been “good” for as long as I can remember. And it developed that I did quote portions of Seth’s material on evolution and time in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. See Appendix 12.)
