“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session tonight did not dwell on the recent experiments however, although Seth did express himself as pleased because we were pleased. Jane has made copies of the clairvoyant material from the three sessions involving the Gallaghers; they are to write in their account of what actually transpired after each of Seth’s predictions or statements. We will then assemble all of the data into coherent form and include it in an early future session. Jane’s psy-time experiments will also be so treated so that we have a unified body of work covering this experiment. We are most grateful for the wholehearted cooperation of the Gallaghers.

I will let our Ruburt rest, at least for a moment or so. Now and then I do indeed look down at him from my painting. I have at times been more presentable than that. Someday we shall show that face, and this face (Jane pointed to herself) for I am a stubborn gentleman, and in my own time we shall indeed give quite adequate proofs of what I am.

(Note that in the unscheduled 192nd session, Seth and Bill also had an interchange concerning underwater artifacts, Indians, Vikings and Jesuits in this section of the northeastern USA. If what Seth said in that session can ever be verified, some history books will have to be rewritten. Again, see Volume 4.

Your Christ had abilities which I still do not have... and he did appear in your form, but he was not of your form... Your people saw but a small fragment that they could understand... a fragment that was part of a larger reality they could not understand...

We have discussed this to some degree in our sessions... I speak of psychic gestalts. You see but portions of these pyramids of intelligences... what we are able to see at any one time.

It will involve an expansion of consciousness, not physical knowledge... You will directly and simply perceive more... I cannot make Ruburt find all the words. Your God is part of a larger reality. We see what we can see... This larger reality is also a part of our dreams: it is more important and vital than breath, for you are all part of this individually. There is a give and take between you and the stars on a physical basis, just as there is also a connection between selves and what you call a god.

(Bill asked Seth what he thought of the direction in which the writings of Father Teilhard de Chardin led, and Seth enthusiastically agreed these writings are valid. Jane, her eyes open, looked at Peggy sitting quietly on the couch.)

Your finger is a part of your physical organism... It does not know what your brain is doing. Prayer is very important... Your toenail is also a part of you... In the same way we are related to God.

(Peggy asked Seth what religion, in his opinion, came closest to God as defined by Seth.)

Sentiment is practical. The idea of birth and death each day is close. Those who cry when they hurt a flea come close... Those who appreciate the consciousness in every rock, tree, bird... come close. Fools and idiots are often wiser than the wise man. Hatred is death. All things are sacred, and every thought is a reality and has its own potential for creation and destruction.

Experiencing every moment comes close. I myself am not known for humility. Nevertheless my existence is dependent upon many things of which I know not. I learn through many existences, but I do not set myself up as many of you set yourself up, and I do not determine what shall be destroyed or who or what shall remain... Such actions... are based on cowardice... Any idea of a God, no matter how distorted, will triumph, for He exists in everything that you know. And when you kill so much as an ant, so do you kill part of Him in most practical terms.
