“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Notes for the records On Tuesday, Sept. 20, I received psychically rather strong impressions about Nebene, one of “my” personalities in the first century AD. These were triggered, I believe, as I looked over Seth’s material on counterparts in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, and by his material on my Roman captain life in the same period, as he gave it in the deleted session for Sept. 12.

(The sketch of Nebene is rather successful and would make a good painting. Most interesting is the pendant I showed him wearing; I did a couple of enlarged sketches of this feature, noting that I didn’t understand its meaning or origin. I was quite surprised to find two days later, in the New York Times for September 12, a photograph that contained strong resemblances to my drawing of Nebene’s pendant: an Egyptian pendant possibly dating from around the time of King Tutankhamen, circa 1355 BC. It seems that currently Egyptian-motif jewelry is the rage in New York City, at least. My own notes contain a detailed chronology of events between my drawing, when we were given the newspaper containing the photo in question, etc. I asked that Seth possibly comment tonight. It seemed that the similarity between the Egyptian piece shown and my own drawing was a bit too coincidental. Nor do we know that much about the circumstances of the Nebene life to begin with. I thought it interesting that Nebene’s land, Jerusalem, say, was geographically next door to Egypt, and not great in physical distance, as far as miles go.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

In Framework 2 in your terms, time is foreshortened, and work is done there in a flash, so to speak. Some time may be involved physically for the materialization, but in usual terms the foreshortening effect can be quite startling, for time is affected and used in an entirely different fashion. The ideas for Aspects, Politics, and the entire library experience germinated one evening in a flash of inspiration just before the flood (in June 1972).

Your kitchen is a room you walk through in your house. Ruburt tried to explain this in terms of lighting, though that did not particularly apply. But you are everywhere surrounded of course by your own suggestions, physically materialized.

The same applies to you for more material about Nebene on your own. Nebene prayed and meditated often, so his framework, you see, is often the same as yours, and those meditative periods provide the necessary conditions on both of your parts.

I will tell you what I can of what you want to know about Nebene’s times, for example, but you can also obtain from him, if you understand tonight’s material, information of that nature, and “firsthand” data about the various sects he visited. I suggest that for your enjoyment and education. He also obtained some information about you, you realize, for the channel is open. You would not get such information unless both of you consented.

(“Thank you very much, Seth.”)

(A note: When Seth remarked about the pendant Nebene wore being an unorthodox procedure for those times, it reminded me that I’d had the same thought while doing the drawing. However, I forgot to write it down in my notes, and didn’t mention it to Jane.

(Additionally, when Seth suggested that I see what I could find out about the particular sect Nebene followed, it flashed through my mind that I could almost start writing out a list of the beliefs, the credo, etc, connected with it. I may try this.)
