“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

One of Jane’s earlier travels through an altered state of consciousness, in September, 1972, resulted in the first session on her unique “slow” and “fast” sounds, then led into information on faster-than-light particles, black holes, white holes, and “dead” holes. The entire episode is presented in an appendix in Section 4. In another appendix I explore the relationship between Jane and Seth, using many quotes from previously unpublished sessions.

Among other information in Section 5, Seth gives considerable material designed to help the reader achieve psychic travel; related here is his session on dreams and dream photography. He also lists more practice elements, and discusses language, personhood, physics, and some of my own reincarnational experiences. Jane initiates information on “world views,” with examples: Seth defines that concept as “the view of reality” held in the immortal mind of each of us, the “living picture” that exists outside of time or space, and that can be perceived by others. Seth also offers major material on his theories involving “counterparts.” He explains in some detail how we live more than one life at a time, how “the greater self ‘divides’ itself, materializing in flesh as several individuals, with entirely different backgrounds — yet each embarked upon the same kind of creative challenge.” (And yes, I can write here that sometimes counterparts meet.)

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.”
