“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

As far as our experiment with this new procedure, it is coming along well. We are taking it gradually and gently, and upon any occasion when Ruburt feels momentarily panic-stricken, though I do not believe he will, by now he will merely come out of his state more or less automatically. I believe that this signal has now been set up as a precaution.

We will speak this evening concerning the importance of the existence of planes or fields of actuality which are as yet generally unrecognized within your own field. Due to mankind’s present general insistence upon recognizing no other fields of actuality but his own, the advance of knowledge is curtailed. No efforts will be made to determine the existence or importance of actualities when such actualities are not believed to exist to begin with, particularly when such a discovery would shatter the very foundations of knowledge as it now exists.

It is precisely because of this failure, because of man’s endeavor to explain data in terms of his own field only, that so much seems either unexplainable, mysterious, or beyond the realm of intellectual comprehension. By following such a course mankind severely limits the amount of data that reaches his own perception. He tries, therefore, to construct a model of the universe with only a handful of available clues.

In other sessions I have explained precisely and in detailed fashion the steps by which this individualized vitality forms its own energy into molecules and atoms, which are the basis for further more advanced gestalts. For his refusal to pursue the examination of such forces, mankind suffers greatly the results of his own ignorance.

As you know, at one time it was necessary for the ego to focus exclusively upon outer data, but the channels never closed between the inner self and the ego. The ways for communication between the two have been left open. If they had not been left open, man would have no knowledge at all, nor any hint, of his basic inner existence. There is no real dual state. The inner self will make itself known. For the species this present period is transitory, but the length of this period, if drawn out, could bring about results most unfortunate.
