“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session Jane said she thought Seth might discuss some of the ideas in a book by Fred Hoyle, the English astronomer that she’s reading, on the ten different universes of man. To our considerable surprise, much in the essays has turned out to be not what one might expect, and Jane disagrees with a number of points therein. She’s found Hoyle to be, in an odd way, more “unimaginative” than she expected, and strangely idiosyncratic and even dogmatic.

(I mentioned that it would be interesting to get from Seth sometime information about the counterpart—families of consciousness concepts as pertaining to other than human creatures. Seth hasn’t gone into the ideas as related to insects, say, or birds or the animals—or viruses or bacteria, for that matter—at all, and I’m sure there is a wealth of fascinating information there. I came up with the question the other day, also, because I’m working with his counterpart material for Section 6 in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.)

They “unite” to form, of course, the larger particles in the physical world. These particles are invisible to the human eye, and do not appear in the mundane affairs of daily life—that is, you do not meet a quark on the corner (with amusement) and say “Hello, how are you, state your name and business.” You are familiar then with the idea that matter is composed of a conglomeration of particles that reach seemingly infinitely “beneath” the physical stuff of the world. (Rob: re particles & elements, created without end, distortive instruments, etc.—see session 19, January 27, 1964. Excellent.)

The counterpart idea is merely a small attempt to hint at that interrelationship—an interrelationship of course that includes all species and forms of life. Ruburt’s idea of the four-fronted self is also an attempt to hint at that complexity in human terms.

A thought, in those terms now, is as physical as a foot—and a foot is as mystical as a thought. The physical body must be born and die. Within that experience, however, there is full freedom, and regardless of any ideas Ruburt might have had, the body can right itself in a moment—regardless of how long, in your terms, it has been in difficulty. That is why I have stressed the importance of impulse, and Framework 2’s activity, for there you are not confined to cause and effect.
