“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.

And you knew it is what you are, and what you will be; and as the other developments in the sessions also rose out of what you are and what Ruburt is, so did this one. It is the reason, again, why you participated in your own way, though you were not at class. And you will indeed receive the full story, in good time.

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, 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.

Because of the bonds of affection and understanding and instant intuitional comprehension that allows them to recognize one another. It is an instant recognition of brotherhood and unity of purpose, and in a strange manner, overall, of temperament.

Now. Astrology, as it is thought of, and as it is taught, you see, represents but a vague shadow of something far different. Consciousness generally can be divided into certain characteristics, hardly the number, the small number, presently given to it, for example, in charts, the twelve houses. Now, that sort of thing is a dim shadow, in three-dimensional terms, dealing with one planet, of a much more vast system. And in that vast system there are this particular group of people, who are united by certain traits and similarities.

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.

Initiate and nourish, in his particular case. The Sumari, however—and they all initiate—initiate the birth of systems. They constantly carry communications between systems, and they deal with the initiation and communication of ideas, from one system to another. Because they are initiators therefore, they are creators. They are, however, comparatively speaking, like those who create and then are satisfied to go on to other creations. They want someone else to take care of what they have created. They do not want to hang around to now the grass, in other words. But those who mow the grass could not create it.

Now, there are some things that I will have to explain to you slowly. And the true answer to your question will take time. One Sumari is all Sumari. There are gradations, in those terms, within the Sumari alliances; therefore, everyone is not at the same level, if you follow me: it is an organization of affection, loyalty, and abilities; and there will be varying grades within their alliance. Now, everyone who was here last night was Sumari, and many who come to class, even for one time, are Sumari.

You were listening in one respect to the voice of your people. The second voice, therefore, also had its own part to play, bringing in the idea, hopefully, both of ancient knowledge and of youth. And in that case, the feminine idea was not used. Do you follow me?

(Long pause.) The multidimensional experience of this group was suddenly and surprisingly present for Ruburt to draw upon last evening. Now, he translated this into layers of voices, and various languages, and did not know how to translate or contain the information that was quite legitimately available. Now, this is a storehouse of knowledge, not of one personality in your terms but, for example, it can be compared, to your racial history, to the achievements of your people, its goals and purposes.

Now, as you (Rob) might perceive such information visually, it is translated for Ruburt in an entirely different fashion. Therefore, you see, I do not believe that at one time you will be able to get a translation of some of the old speakers manuscripts, but it still will be a difficult endeavor. The same information can be given, you see, in other ways. Now, I am interested in your reaching people at large.

(“What?” Rob said. The tape was off, and I switched it on in a hurry. “What was that?” I asked. “One more time, Seth,” Rob said.
