“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

What you call thinking is a dim shadow of true comprehension. (Pause. Jane lit a cigarette. Her voice, with its distant quality, was not faint however.) This involves being united with knowledge in a way you cannot now appreciate. This kind of comprehension automatically puts you out of self- (hyphen) structures as you think of them, but does not deny identity. Since you are very involved with self-structures as you think of them, then knowledge must be given in such a way that it affects the structure as you know it.

Now you are merged with a concept, now, of what you are. So merged that you cannot see your way clearly out of the concept, nor easily imagine reality from any other viewpoint but the self-structure that you presently imagine yourself to be. (Pause.) Another part of your whole identity is quite aware that you are delving into one concept of yourself. To delve into it, you gladly and willingly momentarily forget the greater portions of yourself. You experience the concept fully. Your prime identity is quite aware of other self-concepts that are also being experienced. (Pause.)

(Jane now said that she felt the larger personality, speaking freely, might present its data in something like musical notes or tones, rather than words. We viewed this idea and the cone effect as Jane’s efforts to construct methods to explain the sessions’ data on levels close to consciousness.

Seth was all of myself that could come through to you. You are in contact with a larger portion of Seth’s reality. You are learning that self-structures are transparent. Any contradictions are merely the result of interpretations. Your first Seth is independent, and I am independent. (Pause.) Because he is a part of my reality does not mean that he is less an individual. My reality simply includes more, now, within your particular coordinates; and that last is important.

Now the pyramid or cone structure Ruburt senses is his symbolic way of feeling, in your terms, the approach of certain coordinates. (One minute pause; voice unchanged.) These are projected into your system and opened. Instead of saying, “I will meet you at the corner of Water and Walnut,” for example, I meet you within certain precise coordinates. (Long pause.)

Now you may end the session. If you feel lonely you may speak with Seth the earlier, if you wish. (Pause; smile.

(Jane had been sitting relaxed on the couch. Now she leaned forward, eyes closed but with the familiar gestures and mannerisms of Seth.)

(“Well, maybe. So now we speak to Seth One and Two, huh?”

On the one hand, in your terms, I have not reached that point yet. I am not your Seth Two yet. I am aware of him. I will maintain myself as you know me now at the same time, even in your terms, then. (Emphatic delivery, eyes open.

Or I would not be speaking to you now. Our friend, our dear bewildered Ruburt, has had a time of it, and I suggest we end the session. But if you have particular questions, you may ask them.
