“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane and I had an interesting little adventure this evening. Jane walked to our neighborhood store while I set to work typing. Since she did not return as soon as usual, I became a little concerned. More time passed, and my concern increased. I continued typing. Then I found myself picking up my pen. On a scrap piece of paper I wrote down: “Jane is at the Piper’s. 6:45 PM.” The thought had come to me clearly.

A particular consciousness is a gestalt of these conceptual patterns; but there is nothing to prevent a consciousness from increasing itself by experiencing other conceptual patterns or patterns of perception. This assimilation would increase, not decrease, any given consciousness. We use, or you use, words merely as a convenience. We therefore say that a consciousness is a gestalt of patterns of perception, by which action knows itself. But the patterns of perceptions may grow, and the consciousness reach out. The consciousness has changed. It is no longer the same consciousness, since it has extended itself. Yet it is the same consciousness, on the other hand, because it is that which has extended itself. So words can confuse us.
