“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Because Monday’s session was so unusual, Jane felt a little hesitant about holding a session tonight. We sat quietly at 9 PM, waiting to see what developed. When Jane did begin speaking in trance, her voice was peculiarly gentle in quality—lighter than the usual stronger and heavier Seth voice by a good bit, almost as though she was proceeding somewhat cautiously. But there were other reasons for this different voice, as we learned later.

The laws of the universe, of the inner universe, for example, are not laws in some book. (Smile.) Such laws that might be proclaimed in so many words. They are attempts to explain in words the nature of the inner reality that forms All That Is. I must disentangle concepts, unravel them, in order to explain them, and much is necessarily lost in the process.

As words would tell little, or give small hint of the reality of sound or color to someone who did not experience these, so the words used can only give insight into the nature of reality. I hope through the addition of various subjective experiences in the sessions to give you the feel of concepts when this is possible.

The inner senses to some extent will allow you to perceive the reality of inner existence, and Ruburt incidentally in this new development is involved with the use of these inner senses in a more effective manner than before. There are some changes in the way connections are made. This gives Ruburt a feeling of strangeness as he makes inner adjustments.

Seth is what I am, and yet I am more than Seth is. Seth is however independent (smile, eyes open), and continues to develop as I continue to develop also. (Smile.) In the spacious present you see, we both exist.

Some material he can present to you more clearly than I. This was particularly true up to this present point. (Pause. I wondered: if Seth isn’t speaking now, who is?) He is closer to you in personality makeup and closer to your reality, therefore he could transmit ideas to Ruburt in more understandable terms than I.

Simply, as an analogy, and only (underlined) as an analogy, I am what you would refer to as a future Seth, as Seth in a quote “higher” stage of development. This is not to be taken literally however, since both of us are fully independent, and exist simultaneously. (Pause.)

Regardless of the apex point however, attraction operates, and there are reasons why these particular connections have been made rather than others. There are events that unite us and that have served as turning points in the development of our various personalities. In some strange manner, what I am, now, is linked to what you are. (Pause. Jane looked at me.

This communication, while taking place in your time, and in your present, is nevertheless partially responsible in other dimensions for what you would call future developments in your own personalities, which you can now in turn contact. This is partially what I am, far more than you are, or that Seth is as you thought of him.

(Voice still gentle and lilting.) I look back on you as the selves from which I sprang, and yet I am more than the sum of what you will be when you are finished with the other dimensions and times that I have known. For I have sprung entirely away from you, and would be alien in your terms. That you can even contact me (pause), is a most remarkable development. Yet had you not been able to contact me I would not be what I am.

I am far more however than this portion of me that you contact, for it is only one portion of me that experienced that reality. (Pause.) It is highly important that the material not be distorted then, for most communications take place on far different levels than this, so closely connected with your own system that even the most undistorted material is highly distorted, because the communicators themselves are so closely involved with camouflages, and do not realize that they create the realities which they then describe.

I do not want you to feel I have taken away a friend. I am also a friend. In many ways I am the same friend. Still, only a small portion of what I am speaks to you now. (Pause.) Other portions of me are concerned elsewhere, for I am aware of my own existence in other dimensions, and keep track of them, and direct my many selves. (Pause, eyes closed. Then Jane said in a faint voice:) Call him.
