“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Wade Alexander and his son Brian visited us for 3/4 of an hour at supper time. We discussed the Seth tapes Wade is keeping for us, and Yale University Library. The visit was very pleasant but it disrupted our schedule enough so that we ate an hour later than usual. This in turn left Jane feeling not quite ready for the session at the usual time. But we sat for it as usual, and eventually Jane began to feel Seth around.

(Pause.) In your terms man is of course still learning, and as he set up barriers between lands and formed separate nations, so he also set up divisions between aspects of his own consciousness and awareness, in his terms, so he could deal with them one at a time. He made distinctions that are largely arbitrary.

The spontaneous self was never meant to appear as an alien to the conscious personality. The spontaneous self, of course, represents your closest private touch with the universe, with your origins, and with your relationship to All That Is. Your impulses, intuitions, and creative abilities have always innately provided open channels of communication through which man was guided toward those probable actions most beneficial to his private reality—and those actions would automatically, again, add to the best probable reality for the species as well.

(Long pause at 9:30.) The physical universe had to spring from a source that exists beyond life itself. The universe came alive through a divine spontaneity that knew its own order—a spontaneity whose creations would automatically fall into meaningful patterns. At what point did apelike mammals alter their own genetic message, in terms of evolution’s tales? What sperm first knew itself different, knowing it would mature—if it did as a man instead of an ape? And what apelike female changed her genetic messages, knowing that her egg, if it matured, would literally give birth to an entirely new species, one that centuries later would read and write?

(Long pause.) Consciousness makes its own patterns. Creativity is still the closest field of endeavor that can possibly teach you about the origin of the species, for your creativity mimics that higher creative spontaneity, out of which all (underlined) order emerges (again intently).
