“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This book is Seth’s way of demonstrating that human personality is multidimensional, that we exist in many realities at once, that the soul or inner self is not something apart from us, but the very medium in which we exist. He emphasizes that “truth” is not found by going from teacher to teacher, church to church, or discipline to discipline, but by looking within the self. The intimate knowledge of consciousness, the “secrets of the universe,” are not esoteric truths to be hidden from the people, then. Such information is as natural to man as air, and as available to those who honestly seek it by looking to the source within.

To our way of thinking, we have kept over six hundred appointments with the universe — though Rob would never describe it that way himself. These appointments are kept in our well-lighted, large living room, but in deeper terms they take place within the spaceless area of human personality.

The next chapter will deal with your physical reality as it appears to me and others like me. This chapter will contain some rather fascinating points, for not only do you form the physical reality that you know, but you are also forming other quite valid environments in other realities by your present thoughts, desires and emotions.

Now this is my outline for the book, but it contains merely a sketch of my intentions. I am not giving a fuller outline, for I do not want Ruburt to anticipate me. The difficulties involved in such communications will be given thoroughly. It will be made clear that so-called paranormal communications come from various levels of reality, and that those communications describe the reality in which they exist. So I will describe mine, and others of which I have knowledge.

[...] But as I now recall them, without directly checking on our friend the Pope, who has, you must understand, gone his own way, I am coming as close as I can. We did not have as many guards at that time, but we had many stolen paintings and jewels of great merit. [...]

It is not my purpose to go into my past existences in any great detail, but to use them to make certain points. First of all, I have been many times both man and woman, and I have immersed myself in various occupations, but always with the idea of learning so that I could teach. [...]

[...] In that life my main occupation was that of a merchant, but I was a highly curious gentleman, and my travels gave me access to many different groups of people.

The bells were only a small portion of my business, which dealt largely with cloths and dyes, but they fascinated me. [...]

[...] But now… “I almost don’t want to hold the session,” Jane said as we waited for 9:00. [...]

[...] We made various joking remarks about what would come next in the sessions, but I could see that Jane didn’t really feel humorous. [...]

[...] He’s got something for you, I think, about those biblical times; the Crucifixion… The thing is, I know what Seth’s going to start telling you, but it’s confusing. [...]

[...] After Seth began that chapter Jane and I realized we could become quite interested in biblical history, but our time for learning had been brief. [...]

[...] But in your terms, Seth Two is far further divorced from my reality than I am from Ruburt’s. You can imagine Seth Two as a future portion of me if you prefer, and yet far more is involved.

[...] My reality includes, then, not only reincarnational identities but also other gestalts of being that do not necessarily have any physical connections.

[...] In the same terms now, only, Ruburt may become what I am, but then I will be something far different.

[...] It will not be found outside of yourselves, but through an inner journey into yourself, through yourself and through the world that you know.

The records would show one reign of one pope; but one, two, or even three different men may have filled the position. [...]

[...] Her pace had been rather slow, but picked up when she resumed at 10:32.)

[...] Yet now I am not concerned with them, but turn my concentration into other areas of activity.

[...] It is the same as a child saying: “I am going to grow up, but I am never going to change the ideas that I have now.” [...]
