“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Her pace as Seth was slower than Monday’s, but still a good one. Pauses and eyes open, etc.)

Now when I say there was a state of nonbeing, and yet speak of All That Was, existing simultaneously in that state, I mean (pause), that All That Is did exist, itself, obviously in a state of being, but in a state in which it could not find expression for its own being. This was the state of agony of which I spoke. Yet it is doubtful that without this “period” in quotes, of contracted yearning, that All That Is could concentrate its energy sufficiently enough to create the realities that existed in probable suspension within it.

The agony itself and the stupendous desire to create represented its proof of its own reality. The feelings in other words were adequate proof to All That Is that it was. (Pause.)

This was indeed in your terms a primary cosmic dilemma (pause), and one with which he wrestled, until All That He Was was completely involved and enveloped within that cosmic problem.

The pressure, in one way, came from two sources; from the conscious (underlined) but still probable individual selves who found themselves alive in a God’s dream, and from the God who yearned to release them. On the other hand you could say that the pressure existed simply on the part of the God, since the creation existed within his dream. But in these terms such tremendous power resides in such primary pyramid gestalts that even their dreams are endowed with vitality and reality. (Pause.)

(Long pause.) This session needs reading many times, for there are implications not at first obvious. (Pause.) Now give us a moment.

It seems some definite change in the present situation, from the status quo, that is, concerning the book. (Pause.)

A turnabout of some kind can be expected, in your mundane affairs. (Pause.) I suggest we end the session, though I will be here for some time. Ruburt on other levels has requested that I help him in various endeavors. You should imagine yourself in your studio, working, as you fall to sleep. It will facilitate projection there, for you. My heartiest wishes to you both. The deeper trance state is to offset Ruburt’s reaction to heat and to some natural adverse circumstances that do occur atmospherically at this time of the year.
