“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The evening was again very hot and humid, and Jane had been bothered by such conditions all day; but she wanted to hold the session as usual. Shortly before nine she reported glimmerings from Seth.

(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.

He then purposely gave these more and more detail, and yearned toward this diversity and grew to love that which was not as yet created from himself. He gave consciousness and imagination to individuals while they still were but within his dreams. They also then yearned to be actual, so there was this final breaking-through that was still necessary.

In his massive imagination, he understood the cosmic multiplication of consciousness that could not occur within that framework. Actuality was a necessity if these probabilities were to be given birth. He saw then an infinity of probable, conscious individuals, and foresaw all possible developments, but they were locked within him unless he found the means.

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.)

(9:43. Jane had again been in a deep trance but emerged in short order. Her pace had been relatively fast. She resumed at 9:55.)

The motivating force is still All That Is, but the individuality is no illusion. Now in this same way do you give freedom to the personality fragments within your own dreams, and for the same reason. And you create for the same reason, and within all of you is the memory of that primal agony—that urge to create and free all probable consciousnesses into actuality.

On other levels Ruburt is doing well, and should experience more conscious projections on other levels also. There was something he did not catch last night, but he will have an opportunity to do so shortly.

(10:23. Jane again had a deep trance but returned from it easily. But strangely, and for the first time after a session, she discovered she couldn’t operate her voice. She smiled and several times attempted to answer my questions. Later she said she wasn’t worried, that she knew her voice was okay. I suggested she clear her throat, making a noise that way. She did so, the sound being usual. Then she whispered the word “there.” When I asked her to repeat what she had said, she spoke the same word again, loudly and rather explosively. Her voice then operated as usual.

(Jane said she thought the other person I had helped astrally, from high-school days, was dead. She said the impressions seemed to come to her from another level, between that of Seth and herself— “sort of on a different radio signal,” but she couldn’t explain.)
