“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.

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.

The plea, “Peter, why hast thou forsaken me?” came from the man who believed he was Christ — the drugged version. Judas pointed out that man. [...] Therefore he handed over to the authorities a man known to be a self-styled messiah — to save, not destroy, the life of the historical Christ.

[...] You cannot throw the burden of proof upon another, or expect a man or teacher to prove to you the validity of your own existence. [...]

[...] The man chosen was drugged — hence the necessity of helping him carry the cross (see Luke 23) — and he was told that he was the Christ.

Mary came because she was full of sorrow for the man who believed he was her son. [...]

[...] Sometimes the name of one man would be given as a reign covering a span of years.

The original man may have been assassinated, another taking his place, carrying on as if there had been no change as far as the populace was concerned. [...]

In the historical time of Christ, I was a man called Millenius, in Rome. [...]

[...] Because of my interest in them I did far more traveling about the countryside and the region than any prudent man should. [...]

[...] He also told me that the man, Christ, was kidnapped by the Essenes. [...]

[...] 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. [...]
