“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The second session was held at our apartment Friday evening, December 30, with Jane and me, Wesley Swan, Bill Macdonnel, Pat Norelli and Claire Crittenden present. Seth discussed computers and their future use; Wesley Swan agreed with the data. Seth also gave a good deal of personal data concerning a Brian Houlihan, a friend of Pat’s and some data concerning Claire and Pat, and answered questions from all of us. Evidently a good amount of the data was correct, being called so by Pat and Claire, although without notes we cannot check. One interesting bit: Seth named Claire’s birthday correctly—as falling on February 13, but missed the year by one. He said 1948 when the correct year is 1947.

These probable realities exist within what may be generally termed your own sphere of activity, your own plane. There are many other realities that are far divorced from your own however. Every thought, as I have told you, is an action and must seek to fulfill itself. It is a fragment, therefore. You are literally surrounded by other realities that you do not perceive consciously. Some of these are perceived by the inner self, but all are not.

I can perceive much that you do not for example, but I hardly perceive all, and what I do perceive is but a fraction of All That Is. Survival personalities exist both as they were and as they are. This is an important point. What they were still exists, and under certain conditions can be perceived.

What they are now, so to speak, also exists, and as something distinct and different from what they were. The personality has experienced new realities since death, and is no longer precisely the person that was. The person that was exists as a sort of psychological unit, however. The person, the survival person that is, contains all that he was, and more.

The psychedelic experience, or any mystical experience, is sometimes apt to put you in touch with what may seem to you to be a future self. This self of course, again, always existed. The inner self has the ability to delve beneath all your camouflage data to perceive these other reality systems. For the fullest development however these perceptions must be made conscious. Even the ego must become aware of them.

A small box, and that is all.

(The equalization, Jane believes, refers to the book by Louis Pomerantz, that along with the object and the mimeographed list were mailed to her by Caroline Keck from Brooklyn, NY, in August 1964. All three of these items refer to the conservation of paintings. The title page of Louis Pomerantz’s book shows that it was published by A Chicago Chapter Artists Equity Publication, 332 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago 4, Illinois. Artists Equity Association is dealt with in the book’s forward also.

(“Several small letters or numbers, and a stamped card, from a distant place.” See page 230. The object contains small printed letters in the address in the upper left corner. It also contains numbers in the date. It is a card, but is not stamped; instead of being mailed alone it was enclosed in a small package or envelope with Louis Pomerantz’s book and the mimeographed list described earlier; and all addressed to Jane.

(6th Question: Anything else you want to add? “A small box, and that is all.” At this date we cannot recall. The book, the mimeographed sheet and the object itself may have been mailed to us in a small box, or a manila envelope, etc.
