“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

However, the sleeping portion of the species represents the brain’s unconscious activities in the body — particularly when you think of the motion of all of the species’ actions en masse in a given day. Those conscious motions have an unconscious basis. If you think of a mass world brain — one entity — then it must wake and sleep in patterns. If you think of mass daily action as performed by one gigantic being, then all of those conscious actions have unconscious counterparts, and a great intercommunication of an inner nervous system must take place.

(As can be seen by Seth’s comments about the mass world mind-brain, he was all ready to launch into some new material. And though he mentioned a new book, Jane and I had no idea that he’d begin one within a few weeks’ time — yet that’s exactly what happened.

(Volume I of “Unknown” Reality came out in the fall of 1977 — and by then Seth was well into his latest, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, even though this book, Psyche, hadn’t yet been typed for publication. I was still working on the notes for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.
