“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“All right. Thank you, Seth. Good night,” I said at 12:01 A.M. and Seth was gone almost at once. See the Preface at the beginning of this book. Jane said that although Seth hadn’t actually considered my specific questions about psychology after all, they had served as an impetus for the Preface. She felt good. I read the Preface to her — and she felt even better.

(When Jane lay down for a nap late this afternoon she had quite an unusual experience. From her notes: “Just before I went to sleep, I had a sort of mental projection that seemed to be into the past, my past. I was a baby in my hometown, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The time was about 1931 to start with. Everything was misty, gray, without color. First, ‘I’ looked down on ‘myself’ in my carriage. Then, I moved through the streets easily enough as I got ‘older’ during the projection. Wait — just now as I wrote this I picked up something [from a part of my consciousness other than Ruburt or Seth], to the effect that the projection environment is as focused as mine is, really, but that it’s a probability of mine. Biologically I wasn’t keyed into it in my ‘now’, I was in it and not in it, between focused realities … traveling in or through these fluctuations of consciousness Seth talked about in the last session. He mentioned probable kinds of consciousness in that session, too. Was I trying to develop one of those here in my own physical reality? But this was definitely a waking event, taking place just before my nap. I described the whole thing to Rob as soon as I got up….

(I discussed with Jane the questions I’d thought of when Seth had commented, above, on “… how limiting previous concepts of psychology have been.”: As a discipline, why was psychology so narrowly developed? Why hadn’t it continued expanding until it encompassed ideas like those Jane was delivering tonight, for instance? Her work was unique in that it was coming through her individual personality, I added — yet, why wasn’t the theory of probabilities, or its equivalent, say, common knowledge, or at least considered, in psychology today? I asked if Seth cared to comment.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Here in the last paragraph, then, is a pertinent clue, and one that Jane arrived at without asking Seth: She’s experienced such translation challenges often since beginning “Unknown” Reality — hence her talk before many of these sessions [from the 679th on] about attaining that “certain clear focus,” or “the one clearest place in consciousness,” before she began speaking for Seth.

“Toward the end of the material (in the second statement) I briefly thought the Seth level might be involved, but the wording didn’t come through as automatically and smoothly as it does with Seth, and I didn’t feel his … personality. [...]

(As she often has following recent sessions, after the 685th session Jane discovered herself delivering Seth material in the sleep state. [...]

[...] Since the first session on Seth’s book (the 679th) was held — and before we knew it was a book — I’ve been getting material on it in my sleep after each session. [...]
