“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“I think Seth’s heading toward something new,” Jane said at 9:20, as we sat waiting for the session. “Funny — not that we’re going to come up with new words, but some new ideas. I feel like I’ve had three or four drinks, or as though I’m in a different state of consciousness already — and here I haven’t had anything except this apricot juice …”

So I prefer, here at least, to speak of these units of consciousness instead. (Long pause.) Their nature is the vitalizing force behind everything in your physical universe, and others as well. These units can indeed appear in several places at once, and without going through space, in your terms. Literally now, these basic units of consciousness can be in all places at once. They are in all places at once. They will not be recognized because they will always appear as something else.

These basic units move toward organizations then of a selective nature. Having an unpredictable field to draw from, they select activity according to those significances. Period. Various kinds of significances are the result of the units’ individual natures. The body that you have is a probable body. It is the result of one line of “development” that could be taken by your particular earth personality in flesh. All of the other possible lines of development also occur, however. They occur at once, but each one simultaneously affects every other. There is actually far greater interaction here than you realize, because you are not used to looking for it. The harder you work to maintain the official accepted idea of the self in conventional terms, the more of course you block out any kind of unpredictability.

(“I’d say the part of her that was close to us is. But that part may be resting there, too. “For reasons too personal to go into here, we haven’t yet tried to “tune into” my mother in her new environment. I suggested that the rest of the session be devoted to Jane herself, but Seth had other ideas. Resume at 11:15.)

(Long pause at 11:29.) While words are difficult to use here, again, what I am saying applies, in different ways perhaps, to the behavior of worlds, atoms, and psychological structures. Give us a moment … In the life that you know, as given in Personal Reality, your beliefs act to specify the particular probable events that will become “real.”¹⁰ Because you are a probable self, an understanding of your own nature will show you some of the abilities, not used here, but present, that you can indeed choose to actualize. You can draw then from your own bank of probable abilities, for there will be traces of them in you. They are being developed in another reality; therefore in this one they can be utilized far easier than you might suppose. When you exercise your right arm, your left arm benefits. When you develop abilities in one system, to some extent they are easier to develop in another. (To me:) In deciding to do some writing (for the Seth books, as an example), you are also drawing upon abilities that you have worked on in another system, and through your intent you are to a certain extent blending probabilities.¹¹

10. Much of Personal Reality contains material on beliefs, of course; see chapters 14 and 15, among others. Seth’s information on “the point of power,” given in the 657th session in Chapter 15, is especially appropriate here.
