“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As instructed by Seth in the last session, I had compiled a list of questions for this chapter. It wasn’t complete but, surprisingly, it already ran to five typed pages and some fifty-two items. I contributed a lot of them, but also consulted with Jane. The list included some of the many interesting questions Sue Watkins had asked; we had saved these, along with those raised by ourselves and others in connection with various older sessions. All of the questions, we thought, had a timeless quality.

(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.)

It was not distorted. The Speakers are gifted according to their own characters, some having far more abilities than others, but all playing roles in the communication of inner data. In your terms, therefore, some Speakers would be much more accomplished than others. For example, there have been a far smaller number of truly prominent Speakers than the number given.

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.)

M-A-U-B-U-N-D-U, in Africa, 14 B.C. The Speakers, more than most, are highly active through all aspects of existence, whether physical or nonphysical, waking or sleeping, between lives or at other levels of reality. As certain physical data are carried along in the gene structure, so this inner information is codified within whatever psychological structures the Speakers may inhabit; but far more readily available than it is to other personalities. It needs, often, trigger points to release it, however. These can take place in either the waking or dream state, and they serve to open up the reservoirs of knowledge and make past training available.

Ruburt would not be familiar with a good many of the words and phrases used, even if translation from the original languages was made. There is a difference even in some basic concepts. To maintain any purity of translation, training in different kinds of inner perception would be necessary. Some of these languages dealt with pictures rather than words. In some the symbols had multidimensional meanings. To deliver such information through Ruburt would be an immense task, but it is possible. Oftentimes words were hidden within pictures, and pictures within words. We speak of manuscripts, yet most of these were not written down.

Some were, but at much later dates, and portions exist underground and in caves — in Australia, parts of Africa, and in one area of the Pyrenees.

(10:12. Jane’s pace had speeded up considerably, as though she had lost some sort of nervousness. She said that now she felt much better about the question-and-answer format. So did I. The studio had cooled off considerably. Jane said she hadn’t been cold in trance, but was now.

I perceive people in a room in a far different manner than they perceive themselves; their various past and future reincarnated personalities, but not their probable selves, are perceivable to me.

(11:00.) Some of the events that I see connected very clearly with these persons in the future may not, in your physical system, occur. They exist as probabilities, as potentials, actualized in thoughts but not turned into definite physical form. I told you that no events were predetermined. I would have to tune into a future date, in your terms, and probe it with all of its ramifications in order to ascertain which of the probable actions I saw in your earlier would be actualized in your later.
