“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I began this piece soon after finishing the Introductory Notes for Volume 1 in the summer of 1976.

So by now Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality is well along toward completion. Seth finished his part of the second volume over a year ago, and since then I’ve carefully gone over my original notes for it; I’ve rewritten almost all of them (often many times) in an effort to get them just right, in my view. Those who are interested in the more detailed mechanics of Seth-Jane’s production of “Unknown” Reality, especially where qualities of time are involved, should review my Introductory Notes. But personally, I think the most important part of those notes is Jane’s contribution to them, wherein she discusses her subjective relationship with Seth.

Many good things will be found in Volume 2. Perhaps I can intrigue our readers by giving Seth’s headings for the three sections it will contain. In length those sections may somewhat exceed the three in Volume 1, and are rather complicated.

The headings can only hint at the mass of material behind each one, of course. But as Jane enthusiastically put it when we were discussing where to divide the six sections of “Unknown” Reality, Volume One, provides the general background and information upon which the exercises and methods in Volume 2 depend.” Then she reminded me of Seth’s final lines for this first volume (given after break ended at 11:05 in the 704th session), and I suggest that the reader review that material now.

Section 6 also contains the story of how Jane and I searched for the “hill house” we bought and moved into before the last section of “Unknown” Reality was finished. That material makes an excellent ending for Volume 2. For Jane and me, our house-hunting adventures were an intensely interesting journey through a complicated skein of probabilities. Seth’s information and my own notes detail the interdependent, yet spontaneous, psychic and physical relationships within which each of us elects to move; they reveal how a conscious understanding of such factors, some of which may reach back into one’s childhood, can help greatly in practical daily living. As Seth comments in the 742nd session for April 16, 1975, in Section 6: “It is obvious that when you move from one place to another you make an alteration in space — but you alter time as well, and you set into motion a certain psychological impetus that reaches out to affect everyone you know … Such messages are often encountered in the dream state. Empty houses are psychic vacancies that yearn to be filled. When you move, you move into other portions of your selfhood.”
