“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: The Physical Universe as Idea Construction, mentioned by Ruburt in his Introduction, did indeed represent our first formal contact, although Ruburt was not aware of it at that time.

The personality involved can react in many ways. Great adjustments are necessary, and often changes of behavior. The individual now realizes that he is indeed a living web of reality, and this becomes immediate conscious knowledge.

Such knowledge requires not only more responsive and responsible behavior, but involves a sympathy with life that may earlier have been lacking. The sympathy brings with it a sensitivity that is strong, challenging and intense. Many individuals have experienced unusual, quite valid and intense expansions of consciousness, but found themselves unable to correlate the new knowledge with past beliefs, to make the changes necessary to handle the sensitivity. Indeed, they were not strong enough to contain the experience. In such cases, they tried to close it off, deny it, forget it.

Now: Such “new truths” can still be very ancient indeed, but truth is not a thing that must always have the same appearance, shape, form, or dimension. Those who persist, therefore, in shielding their truths from questions threaten to destroy the validity of their knowledge.
