“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As far as we knew, Seth would resume dictation on Chapter Three of his book this evening. A minute or two before the session began Jane told me that she had a “glimmer” from Seth — a few sentences. “Then,” she said, “I settle down and wait for the session to start. But I still can’t tell you just how I do it.”)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

Now your closest environment, physically speaking, is your body. It is not like some manikin-shape in which you are imprisoned, that exists apart from you like a casing. Your body is not beautiful or ugly, healthy or deformed, swift or slow simply because this is the kind of body that was thrust upon you indiscriminately at birth. Instead your physical form, your corporeal personal environment, is the physical materialization of your own thoughts, emotions, and interpretations.

(As Seth, Jane leaned forward for emphasis while speaking. Her delivery was somewhat different this evening. I thought she was reacting to our own environment. Sounds seemed to carry through above and below us. Jane would deliver a sentence, then pause longer than usual, so that her accustomed rhythm was a little off.)

(9:27.) The intensity determines both the strength and the permanency of the physical image into which the thought or emotion will be materialized. In my own material I am explaining this in depth. Here, I merely want you to understand that the world that you know is the reflection of an inner reality.

(Now Seth briefly discussed some out-of-body episodes that Jane had experienced yesterday afternoon.)

(“Good night, Seth.”

(11:05 P.M. See the 519th session, in which Seth suggests that Jane try turning our bed to a north-south position. We haven’t done this yet.

(Jane still reads Seth’s material on his book. I can tell that her concern about it is much diminished, but also that her interest in it is as lively as ever.)
