“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Monday night’s regularly scheduled session was postponed until tonight.

(Jane’s pace was quite slow, with many long pauses. A few are indicated in the material. Her voice was average; her eyes were open often.)

(10:07. Jane was out of trance easily and quickly. She had no idea, she said, of her pace, fast or slow, or of the passage of time per se. She said she had the impression that the material from Seth was highly condensed and directed, aimed at the reader, that he was trying to get the ideas across as clearly and concisely as possible.

I am saying, of course, that there is no such thing as dead matter. There is no object that was not formed by consciousness, and each consciousness, regardless of its degree, rejoices in sensation and creativity. You cannot understand what you are unless you understand such matters.

The ego is a jealous god, and it wants its interests served. It does not want to admit the reality of any dimensions except those within which it feels comfortable and can understand. It was meant to be an aid but it has been allowed to become a tyrant. Even so, it is much more resilient and eager to learn than is generally supposed. It is not natively as rigid as it seems. Its curiosity can be of great value.

(11:35 P.M. The session was interrupted because Rooney, one of our two cats, wanted to go out for the night. Seth had been doing well. Jane left trance quickly. After I let the cat out she waited briefly, then decided to call it an evening before Seth could return. It doesn’t seem that Chapter One is quite finished.)
