“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(During the past few weeks Jane has had but a few sessions for her ESP class and a couple of personal ones for us. That’s been it, even though I had hoped at various times that work could be done on Seth’s book. Many things caused us to lay it aside: other work, the holidays, the plain need for a change of pace, travel, and the approaching death of my father….

(Jane said she was nervous, now, about resuming dictation after the layoff. Her feelings were similar to those she’d had before starting the book. She hasn’t read it beyond the first part of Chapter Four, although I gave her a short excerpt from Chapter Six to read to her ESP class. I had no doubt that when Seth resumed dictation, it would be impossible to detect any sign of a break in continuity.

Now: We will return to our book tonight and Wednesday, and the following Monday and Wednesday, until it is finished.

(9:19.) All of this may seem very strange to you, simply because your concepts of existence are so specific and limiting. Ideas of probable realities and probable men and gods may strike some of you as quite absurd, and yet as you read this book, you are but one of the probable you’s. Other probable you’s would not consider you real, of course, and some might indignantly question your existence. Nevertheless, the probable system of reality is not just a philosophical question. If you are interested in the nature of your own reality, then it becomes a highly personal and pertinent matter.

(A note: According to Seth, the Lumanians were the second of a group of three highly technological civilizations that existed on our planet long before the time of Atlantis. In the 563rd session Seth mentioned that he would soon discuss the third of these cultures. This material was never received. It could have been, but because of the long break between the last two sessions on Seth’s book, we simply did not remember to ask for it….)

(9:30.) Let us take an example. You are reading this book when the telephone rings. A friend wants you to meet him at five o’clock. You stand considering. In your mind you see yourself (A) saying no and staying home, (B) saying no and going somewhere else instead, or (C) saying yes and keeping the engagement. Now all of these possible actions have a reality at that point. They are all capable of being actualized in physical terms. Before you make your decision, each of these probable actions are equally valid. You choose one of these, and by your decision you make one event out of the three physical. This event is duly accepted as a portion of those serial happenings that compose your normal existence.

And we will have book dictation Wednesday, with any personal material at the end.
