“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I discussed with Seth the surprise with which Jane and I have watched young people take to his ideas on time, dreams, clairvoyance, telepathy, etc.; with this I speculated as to the reaction of Jane or myself had we been introduced to such ideas at the age of 20 or so. Seth said there was no cause for surprise here, that young people are intuitively aware of much more than one gives them credit for, and that when Jane and I meet young people who express interest we should help them by recommending books, giving our own ideas, etc.

The inverted time system should be at least briefly explained in the Seth book. I do not want to dictate to Ruburt, or tell him how to write this book. It occurs to me however that it would be advantageous to include in the middle section my ideas concerning the construction of physical matter, the inverted time system, moment points, a discussion concerning the dream universe, and the system of probability. All of this in direct quotes from the material itself. The last section of the book could then deal with what evidential material we have, and you shall have more. I am certain that Ruburt could so organize the center portion of the book so that stress could still be given to the personal story line.

In this manner a tantalizing sample of the material in several aspects would be given. Questions would be raised in the minds of the readers, and in other books the various ideas could be expanded from the material, and these questions answered. In this way you would be presenting an overall picture that would later be filled in.

The initials M S connected with him. A stomach disorder. A mole, fairly noticeable, on the face, perhaps in the region of the nose. He is cautious about money, but prides himself upon an open mind. He holds on to his ideas however, as he holds on to money.

(Break at 9:59. Jane was dissociated as usual. Earlier in the evening we had noted a similarity in some of the comments on her manuscript with J.B. Priestley’s ideas on time. Jane had the idea that Priestley and our unknown commentator were contemporaries. Priestley we believe to be 70. Jane said she had the personal association of Norway when she heard herself giving the data on ice, regarding the name.

A page, I presume from a book, that somehow deals with history. I do not know if it is a history book, but it deals either with events in the past, or with ideas of the past.

(When she saw the smudges on the back of the tracing-paper drawing, Jane said this was what gave her the idea of “ribbonlike shapes.” The “dark color” and “dark red” references were her attempts to further refine this data.

(“Star shapes.” This is related to the geyser data on page 321, and out of it grows a personal association of Jane’s. Note that my tracing-paper drawing bears a formalized six-pointed star. Jane said she had an image of a star of sorts, and that this gave her the idea of fireworks shooting into the sky—thus the idea of a geyser, and something rising and explosive, etc.
