“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth had some interesting things to say about using suggestion. The kernel of thought here is that it is important to use whatever suggestions we want to, daily; he stressed the importance of not missing a day. He explained that in a given period of say, thirty days, the suggestions on perhaps but three or four days within that period would be really effective, and that as of now we have no way of knowing the best days. So if we miss a day, we run a chance of missing out on a particularly effective day for suggestion. Seth said that on occasion suggestion will reach all levels of the personality, that our voice will be heard throughout the personality, and that effective action will follow. There was more here but the above is the main point made.

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.

There are certain self-regulating devices at work here, psychologically speaking, that insure necessary periods of passivity and rest. In any well-balanced personality these operate automatically, as in Ruburt’s case.

(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.

Something ground up or tattered. I do not know to what this refers. A woman in old-fashioned clothing, a representation rather than a person. The color red, large flowery first letters, open sentences or paragraphs.

(“and locomotion”, is to me a personal association of Jane’s derived from the machine data above.

(“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.
