“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To me:) Now, you remember, because of one of your experiences and something I said in a session—or, rather, another portion of me said in a session —having to do with the fact that Seth II, if you could perceive him, would be as small as a brown nut. (To Rob:) And so you were perceiving a core of energy that radiated outward and infringed upon this reality—intruded upon it: hence, the fragmented area about it, you see, and the seemingly jagged effect.

Now, such a vision is not only something that you see that intrudes upon this reality, but also something that has its effects upon this reality, and often effects that you do not perceive. You perceive the appearance of the image, but its other effects escape you. The concentration of energy itself, is highly important, you see, and changes the behavior even of the atoms and molecules within the neighborhood of its appearance.

Now, remember what I told you in the book about the black holes and the concentration of energy. Now, such occurrences allow you unusual exchanges of energy from one system to another. They are fountains, therefore, of new energy; and their very intrusion into your world activates that reality in a different fashion, usually in a quickening, stirring, transforming fashion—an activation, say, rather than a slowing down.

Now. Give us a moment. (Pause.) There are alliances in all levels of reality—there are attractions that reach even bright space and time, groupings of consciousness, associations, psychic attractions that hold and mold various kinds of consciousness in a loose organization. There are personalities who come together for certain reasons, varying reasons, whose individual inclinations are somewhat the same, and purposes. You may think of the guilds in the Middle Ages, for example. These groups of consciousness range throughout history as you know it. In their own way, and according to their capacity and purpose, they change and alter the nature of the universe, sometimes by being born within your historical time, and sometimes by trying to reach those who are within your historical time. They are far closer in your terms because of their natural affinity than they are, for example, sometimes even to other portions of their own entity, as you might be closer to a strong friend than you are to certain members of your own family, though they may be of your own blood. It is a membership of choice, in other words, of attraction and respect, and usually this is bound by like purpose and endeavor. These are true families.

(Long pause.) I am trying to find words that will not offend our friend, and sometimes it is difficult. This group, therefore, has always been involved in the kind of work in which you are now involved, and on a grand scale. They never forget their members. There are indeed initiates, but all of you passed that stage in another layer of reality, in your terms, some time ago. Their main activities take place in other levels of consciousness. You are on missions, in certain terms. You do attend meetings, when you are in the sleep state, between lives. You work through many layers of reality at the same time. Now, these are the people, for example, that you (me) were speaking of, the strangers that you see in your dreams. You are affecting each others’ realities, but you have always done this to some degree.

Now, this is different from the speakers. A speaker may or may not be a Sumari. Some speakers are Sumari, and some are not. There are bonds of affection and understanding that unite this group, and a speaker may or may not be one. The relationships, however, go between realities; you can be closer, then, with another Sumari than you are with a husband or wife, particularly if you do not like the husband or wife overwell. It is not true to say that this is a religious group in any way, but it is true to say that this is a very strong alliance. And the alliance is of a kind that is difficult to explain. Whole, for example, may work. Together, and have, to initiate certain discoveries on various worlds, or to prepare the groundwork, in your terms, for future events. They interweave, not only through your centuries as you understand them, but through other realities. They are great coordinators.

Now, many are efficient in one particular reality, and devoted to it. But the Sumari coordinate very well, and move within a freedom that is denied to many. It is simply their nature.

In their strong psychic alliance and in their coordination abilities, and the agility with which—the agility with which—they can manipulate between systems, consciously, with purpose, and with some exuberance. They are communicators in that they spread knowledge from one system of reality to another. They are given much more, for example, to ideas rather than to the various camouflage realities within systems. Many groups, you see, deal exclusively with the camouflage reality between systems, with building it up, with its maintenance.

(“Then the Sumari have experienced the various kinds of physical realities,” Rob suggested.)

Ruburt is quite correct. He will learn how to translate those realities.

It is not indeed. I want to go into, and I will at a later date, the connections between this kind of reality and the astrology that is now popular.

The session is not over. Now. There are several reasons why the personal last evening appeared feminine in the first instance; and this is a matter again of translation. The Sumari are initiators and creators. They are filled with feelings of abundance; they have great energy, you see. There is not a word in your vocabulary to explain what I am trying to get at. The word “graciousness” as used last evening comes faintly close. The feminine seemed to apply, therefore; it was a way of getting these characteristics across. It was also a way that Ruburt used to translate the idea of the particular kind of creativity involved; the idea, indeed, of birth, for this is the birth or a system, of a new kind of reality, that this group is involved with.
