“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Because there is no time, as you think of time, we will not say that action retains a memory of all its previous actions or selves, for this would be misleading. Action is aware of itself in all of its spontaneous and simultaneous workings. The self that you are, in a basic sense, is the self that you were in past instances within this existence, the self or series of selves that you were in previous existences within the physical field, and also the myriad selves that you are now, in various perception experiences unknown to the ego.

(End at 10:45. Jane was well dissociated. This last delivery was much more rapid. Jane said she felt carried away, as she had been in the Father Trainor episode. See pages 261-63. This took place on February 11, 1965. During this experiment, while reading some poetry aloud that the now-dead Father Trainor had often read to her when she was in high school, Jane’s voice had taken on an enormous male volume and strength. To me it had sounded alien. Jane said it was Father Trainor’s voice, at times, or a close approximation. I can only say it was not the Seth voice; I had never known Father Trainor.

(Jane also said she wasn’t sure the session was over. I had asked for its end in order to spare her fatigue, as a matter of routine. She barely had time to give me the above information, when she sat down again, resumed her trance state, and began dictating. 10:48.)

(Jane said she believes Seth is using these experiences, within the experience of the session itself, as a compensation for the psychological time experiments he has requested her to abandon for a while. It will be remembered that in the 140th session Seth stated that at times Jane would advance “too fast, too soon”, with her own experiments. She speculated that these recent experiments within experiences were Seth’s ideas re a more controlled approach.)
