“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. A few remarks. The material need not be presented in one way only, as I have told you in the past.

Do not insist that it be published in chronological order, in other words. Now, large portions of it will be published in chronological order, but not if you insist upon this now. (Pause.) It is in one way the natural order of the material, but also your own development was my beginning point. Though you were not acquainted specifically with such phenomena, you were good readers, and my presentation was, if I may say so myself, shrewdly and cleverly geared (leaning forward intently) to your own individual possibilities.

(Long pause, hand to closed eyes.) Perceptions in general physical terms usually seem to involve information picked up from an arbitrarily designated structure, of an event seemingly occurring in another structure outside of itself. In the entire act of perception, however, there is a oneness and a unity between the seemingly objectively perceived event and the perceiver.

Now. Perception is constant. There is no place where one perception begins and another ends.

On the one hand his own personality is enlarged in that the self structure includes far more perceptions than ordinarily. Further actions are recognized and interpreted. The speaking systems however and mental faculties have to be trained to handle the additional data; this of course causing some distortions along the way.

Another dimension in your terms is simply added, a more extensive one, and when this training is done properly, as I have tried to do, then the medium’s personality is not only strengthened but its abilities used far above the usual normal. The process however is highly involved with perception, and is largely a matter in learning to handle, recognize and use constructively perceptions that other personalities are not equipped to handle.

(10:22. Jane was out of trance quickly. She remembered the last sentence Seth spoke. This was a reference to the fact that Jane got “mad” at Seth—one of the few times this has occurred—at an ESP-class session last night, for some remarks Seth made concerning Jane’s tendency to intellectually categorize people. See the 461st session in this respect. I had found the situation rather humorous.
