“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I have mentioned this before, and do not intend to hammer you both over the head with it. Nevertheless an evening a week spent out of your own quarters, a social evening, reaps many benefits which you may not as yet understand, and is, all in all, quite necessary for overall well-being on your parts.

Predictions, per se, do not contradict the theory of free will, though free will is dependent upon much more than any freedom of the ego alone. If the ego were allowed to make all the choices, with no veto power from other layers of the self, you would all be in a sad position indeed.

I will endeavor to warn him of the beginning of such episodes, as of now, so that they will never become extended. Such depletions minimize the ability of the inner self to draw upon all the available information from other layers of the self, concerning the field of probabilities.

All of this data is instantly available to layers of the self, and only the ego is not aware of this field. It would be snowed under completely. Now, this field of probabilities has existed in your past, and formed your present.

This probable field seeds many other systems beside the one physical system with which you are familiar. The probable field is strongly composed of thought images, not physically materialized, but extremely vivid and actual storehouses of energy. Here is the material from which all pasts and presents and futures are made.

I have the impression of a group of miscellaneous objects, bearing no particular relationship to each other: a stone, a pencil, a grape, something that looks like a twig. Another, a banana shape. All of these in a circular arrangement. (Pause.)

(In order to understand the data it was necessary to write out a schedule of events; most of this was done after the session. As it was we spent about half an hour during break in an effort to begin to sort out the impressions. It developed that four letters were involved with the envelope object, and that one of these was enclosed in the experimental object. The common denominator here is that the date, January 25,1966, is somehow involved with all four letters. Seth uses this as a springboard for his impressions.

(“A willingness to achieve.” In both letters #1 and #4, Jane expresses her willingness to do all she can to help with publicity re the ESP book—write copy, appear on radio or TV shows, etc. In the February 8 phone call, F. Fell told Jane he would try to get her on some shows to publicize the book.

With good circumstances it would have been quite an achievement to separate all the impressions connected with these letters.

Most of them are legitimate enough, but far from specific enough. Ruburt’s concentrated work on our test data today simply resulted in his strained efforts on my behalf. This is all right, and sometimes to be expected.
