“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. Desire, wish and expectation rule all actions, and are the basis for all realities.

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.

Now had he not solved it, All That Is in ways that cannot be understood, would have faced insanity, and there would have been literally a reality without reason, and a universe run wild.

This then is the dilemma of any primary pyramid gestalt. He creates reality, period. Now. He also recognized within each consciousness massive potential that existed. The means then came to him. He must release the creatures and the probabilities from his dream.

All That Is therefore “lost,” in quotes, a portion (underlined) of itself in that creative endeavor. Yet all individuals remember their source, and now dream of All That Is, as All That Is once dreamed of them. And they yearn toward that immense source, and yet to set it free, to give it actuality through their own creations.

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.

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

I have nothing, now, on sepia.

(Another question asked before the session: Seth’s own definition of electrical reality, in connection with the book on the Seth material Jane is now writing.)

The material I am giving you now is an offshoot from the material on time that you requested, that will shortly return to that subject, and the electrical-reality material will follow in there naturally.

Now, I will try to make contact with him in his astral excursions. He did not want me involved in them in the past, and this automatically made it highly improbable that he would perceive me.

(I graduated from high school in Sayre, Pennsylvania, in 1937, and believe Dave Lake did so a year later. He lives now in Waverly, New York, 18 miles from Elmira. We see each other on rare occasions, and once in a while I will hear some news about him through my family or a friend in Sayre, which adjoins Waverly. However, I haven’t seen Dave in well over a year, and do not know if he’s been sick. Nor have I heard anything concerning him during this time, to the best of my knowledge.)
