“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“At 8:45 I walked into the living room to waken Jane for the evening’s session. She continued to lie quietly on the couch, eyes closed, but in a few minutes told me she’d just been visited by a most strange sensation. From her description of it I thought she might have been exploring an ability related to the inner senses. So far, Seth has explained six of these. (Several years later, Jane was to list nine such inner senses in Chapter 19 of The Seth Material.) Jane said that upon coming slowly awake from her nap she’d had the very peculiar feeling of ‘growing larger.’ The laughing phrase she used was that she’d felt as ‘big as an elephant.’ Her boundaries of awareness seemed to have expanded. Holding her hands up on either side of her head, she indicated a width of almost three feet; her head had literally felt that wide to her.

I am rather surprised that Ruburt hit upon this one at this time, as it is usually a rather difficult ability to attain…. Ruburt experienced this on a physical level, trying to translate inner data into sensation that could be recognized by the outer senses. This seventh inner sense represents an extension of the self, a widening of its conscious comprehension … or a pulling together into … a minute capsule that enables the self to enter other fields.

“Using the senses developed on a particular plane to perceive its characteristic camouflage patterns, it is almost impossible to see beyond these boundary effects. The inner senses are inherently equipped to do this, but for many reasons they do not. The appearance of an expanding universe is also caused, therefore, by this distortive boundary effect …

“Jane added that when we close our eyes we’re aware of a certain ‘area of blackness,’ one we’re used to. While she’d been in this unusual state, that area was much enlarged — she used the words ‘infinitely large’ to describe it. Jane said it was as though her eyes had actually moved further apart to create this expanded field of awareness, of infinite black. She hadn’t sensed anything happening within this area, but thought that she might have, given more knowledge and experience. She hadn’t been frightened by the sensation, and went along with it. She didn’t have it now that her eyes were open, yet the physical feeling of enlargement had been so strong there could be no doubt of it …

[...] In practical terms of sense data, those worlds do not meet. [...]

In your terms, consciousness is able to hold its own sense of identity by accepting one probability, one physical life, for example, and maintaining its identity through a lifetime. [...]

[...] This is only because you focus upon those actions that “make sense” in your reality, and ignore all others. [...]
