“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Here is a copy of that outline, which was given to us in Session 510, January 19, 1970. As you’ll see here, Seth calls me Ruburt, and Rob, Joseph. These names represent our entire personalities as distinguished from our present physically oriented selves.

Rob kept telling me not to worry about it. Friends and students seemed astonished that of all people, I should have any doubts, but I thought — of all people, who else should have doubts? Here was a stated intent. Could Seth follow through?

Looked at merely as an example of unconscious production, however, Seth’s book clearly shows that organization, discrimination, and reasoning are certainly not qualities of the conscious mind alone, and demonstrates the range and activity of which the inner self is capable. I do not believe that I could get the equivalent of Seth’s book on my own. The best I could do would be to hit certain high points, perhaps in isolated poems or essays, and they would lack the overall unity, continuity, and organization that Seth has here provided automatically.

In what terms? Quite honestly, I don’t know. The closest I’ve come to explaining my own views was in a short intuitive statement I wrote for my ESP class, as I tried to clear my ideas for myself and my students as well. Rob had told me about the “Speakers”, as Seth calls them in this book — personalities who continually speak to man through the ages, reminding him of inner knowledge so that it is never really forgotten. This evocative idea inspired me to write the small piece which I am including here. It points up the framework in which I think Seth and others like him may exist.

I am myself using simple terms here to try and make these ideas clearer. [...]

Here he seems to make contact with impersonal symbols whose message is somehow automatically translated into words. [...]

[...] As Seth has already indicated, there is a wealth of information here waiting to be acquired. [...]

The times and names and dates are not nearly as important as the experiences, and they are too numerous to list here. [...]

Perhaps you will see an analogy here when you compare the situation with age regression under hypnosis. [...]

[...] You will have to give me time here. [...]
