“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

All in all however they came much closer to reality than most; and therefore there is an added dimension in their works. This added dimension is simply a result of their intimacy with other dimensions of time, about which most others remain as ignorant as possible.

Now. Priestley puts it somewhat differently but the results are the same. According to him the consciousness, the individual consciousness of time one, becomes something else at physical death, and the consciousness that is part of time two in physical life becomes dominant in the next existence. There is one large difference here between us however, and I believe an important one. Priestley’s individual, after death, with his dominant time two consciousness, has available to him what was time one during physical life.

Time three, after the individual’s physical death, becomes for him what time two is for him during this existence. It is therefore available only to the same degree that time two is available to him now.

(Break at 9:26. Jane was dissociated as usual, she said. Her eyes had opened narrowly frequently. She said that consciously, at the moment, she could not explain what she had just said. Her pace had been fast, and my writing hand was aware of this.

The flame feeds the fire and the fire feeds the flame. Therefore, while this time one of continuous moments is no longer experienced after death, it is still a reality within basic time itself, a reality toward which the personality simply is no longer focused. Because the individual is focused within time one now, you still realize, or should, that the time one is only a small portion of time, and that other kinds of time exist of which you are not aware.

These times do not go on indefinitely in the precise manner that Dunne thought. Neither do they stop as Priestley believes, at time three. There is a merging of selves into what you may call a superconsciousness, a synthesis; and from then on, dear friends, there is a beginning toward something new, and a something of which I am not prepared to speak this evening, but of which I shall speak in the near future.

I pick up a rather disconnected or disjointed impression concerning an elephant, or perhaps this is a trunk. I do not know to what it refers. (Pause.) Unless it has to do perhaps with the farewell earlier mentioned.

Now, give me a moment and we shall see what we can do.

(Seth did not elaborate on the test envelope impressions, so what follows are our own interpretations. For his own part, Seth was too eager to get on with his discussion of Priestley’s book, it developed.

(Jane was again smiling. Seth devoted the 88th session of September 16,1964, to explaining what he meant by this. He had mentioned it before at various times without elaboration. He also dwelled on the subject to some extent in the 152nd session, the 157th, and others. Again, reincarnation is involved in a basic way.)

The difficulty lies in making this communication, which is direct from me, to what would be Ruburt’s time three self, clear to the time one self of Ruburt’s, which must speak these words, in what could be called Priestley’s time one.

(In the 44th session, Seth began a list of qualities and attributes which are included in the spacious present. To date there are eleven of these: Value climate of psychological reality; energy transformation; spontaneity; durability; creation; consciousness; capacity for infinite mobility; law of infinite changeability and transmutation; cooperation; arrival and departure, meaning physical birth and death; and quality depth, the perspective in which an idea can expand, replacing our time and space.)

With porch enclosures that are round. The base is not round. The portion between the... what would be the porch railing and the roof is round. They bicycled.

I have the impression: Clor-ra-door, but do not know to what it refers. (Phonetically.

None of what I saw was very clear. I felt I stood on a long narrow porch or verandah with a railing. On either a double-story motel, or a motel of one story that was raised up higher than usual somehow, from ground level.

(Jane’s second version of what she saw.)

Now, we shall see what we can do. A talk concerning survival of your nation. Our friend the cat lover attends this discussion.

(“You will meet a man you do not like” is one of the advance predictions given Peggy by Seth during the unscheduled session of December 3. Jane and I have wondered what part suggestion might play in such a case. Peggy told us she had also been aware of this, and that she could say that her dislike of the individual in question transcended any suggestion that conceivably could be operating.)

A measurement of abilities, though I do not know to what this refers.
