“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

They are considered as notself, dangerous or alien. Only in the dream state is any such communication allowed. The greater reality of the self is therefore largely unsuspected, and the great knowledge possessed by it remains unknown at a conscious level.

When it is so materialized much of the creativity is automatically expressed (pause), the individual being aware of only that ability that the mind can understand. Most individuals therefore do not contend with larger portions of their own reality. An individual sets for himself those challenges that lie within his realm at any given time. He does not tackle challenges that in his terms are too great to be solved.

Now. (Slowly.) Through the years (pause), Ruburt has been more and more aware of other kinds of psychological realities and structures than those usually experienced. He was born with that capacity, having chosen the course. The capability was there then long before it showed itself.

You recognized them as signs of caution and acquiesced. The freedom of Seven was the first sign of release, but not accepted on all levels. (Pause at 10:15.) You understand, though imperfectly, what happens when you are between beliefs—sure that one is no longer adequate, unable to rely upon it as you once did, but not yet able to fully accept another.

(10:23. Jane’s trance had been very deep. Her delivery had been very deep, especially on the last page. “He’s still got a whole bunch of stuff,” she said, “and I have a vague idea of what’s going on.... I’ve got an awfully funny feeling, too—I’m waiting to see if you get it also.”

(I didn’t know exactly what Jane meant. Before the session she’d made remarks about it being significant. I agreed that it was but my interpretation of that significance wasn’t as positive as Seth’s, I’m afraid. I didn’t ask Jane what her interpretation of this significance was, by the way. But at first glance I thought a good case could be made for not opening the doors to psychic developments to begin with, going by the contents of this session so far.

(I thought at least that Jane could use the psychic awareness as intuition, etc., in her work, as everyone else did, do her “straight writing,” and let it go at that. At this time, in view of our own experiences, I seriously doubted that very many individuals in our reality were truly ready or equipped to handle such developments without a great struggle—chosen or no. There was, I felt, a great chance the struggle would get the best of them.

(“In its own way tonight’s session is as significant as the first session we had,” Jane said. “It’s like you’ve been through a training period you didn’t even know you were going through—and now, in our terms,” she said with surprise, “it’s taken all that time. Like I’ve been scared as hell to move out of the old framework. I didn’t know where the hell I was going...Take the Sumari, and when I hear the voices: what in hell am I supposed to do with those things?”

With the development of abilities however the importance of conscious thought became greater than before. The mind in one way was becoming more aware of reality, using greater energy and taking ever greater responsibility, which it did not bear to that degree before. The acceleration of mental creativity therefore meant that the creative energy of thoughts became ever greater in practical terms. Do you follow me?

(11:08. “He isn’t done, I can tell you that,” Jane said after she’d come out of a deep trance. “I can sense other stuff coming—I don’t know what I’m going to think when I read it.” When Jane got up she could barely move about her chair. She sat down heavily, then said she had to get up to go to the john—which she did, slowly.
