“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We sat for the session at 9:00, as we almost always do, but Seth didn’t appear with his usual promptness. As the time passed, Jane said she thought she was somewhat uptight because of the questions; she had read them after supper. The session was held in my studio for more privacy. Finally, Jane took off her glasses.)

(“Okay. Here’s question number one: You said you’d tell us about the third Christ. Also, do we need to know more about the other two personalities belonging to the Christ entity: Christ Himself, and John the Baptist?”)

The greatest Speakers do not only translate and communicate inner data, but also go much further into these inner realms of reality than others connected with your physical system. They add, then, to the basic inner data. The greatest Speakers have not needed the intensive training necessary for most. Their unique combination of characteristics has made this unnecessary. (Pause. One of many.)

(“Do you want to spell that?”)

I know that one of your questions has to do with a first Speaker.

You — being the ten of you — would be aware of existence in each of the ten places. It would be impossible to ask which of the ten arrived first, except to say that all began with the original who decided to visit the ten locations. So it is with the Speakers, who in the same way do not originate in the locations or in the times in which they may appear.

Do you have more Speaker questions?

The original source of the Speaker data is the inner knowledge of the nature of reality that is within each individual. The Speakers are to keep the information alive in physical terms, to see that men do not bury it within and dam it up, to bring it — the information — to the attention of the conscious self.

Do you have any more Speaker questions?

They can, and do indeed. Both of you are being trained by other Speakers who are themselves between lives, this occurring in your dream states. The Speakers themselves obviously attain varying degrees of efficiency.

(And of course, the above data gives rise to more questions: such as who is training us? Have we known them in past lives, etc.? Not knowing what to do, I asked no questions….)

(I told her that question number nine was next on the list. It had to do with Seth’s perceptions while speaking through her, and had been inspired by the ESP class session for February 9, 1971; excerpts from this are included in the 575th session in Chapter Nineteen. In the meantime I thought of another Speaker query, which I wrote down. Resume at 10:40.)

Now which of the two questions do you want me to answer first?

I see this composite image myself. It is not registered by Ruburt’s eyes (pause), which do not have the multidimensional depth perception necessary. I see the composite image clearly, whether or not I am looking through Ruburt’s eyes. I use his eyes because they narrow down the focus for me, to the one “present” self of which the individual is aware.

To a large extent the methods of communication may vary. A personality based within physical reality, between lives for example, would find entry in many ways easier. The information he would be able to give, however, would also be limited because of his experience. I do have a memory of physical existence however, and this automatically helps me in translating your mental data into physical form. I do perceive objects, for example. Using Ruburt’s mechanism is of great help here also. At times I see the room and the people as he, or rather his perceptive mechanisms, do.

(It was. I skipped down to number nineteen, a question I almost hadn’t bothered to write down. “Do you have any interest in perceiving our daily lives when you’re not speaking through Jane? Is this possible?”)

I do not make it a practice to observe. We are connected, however, in our psychological gestalt, and so I am aware of any intense feelings on your part, or strong reactions of any kind. This does not mean that I am necessarily aware of all events within your lives, or that I always break down the feelings I receive from you into specifics.

I think that will do for that one.
