“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Within 15 minutes of finishing her statement, Jane spontaneously began writing a second, longer one. She produced it in an altered state of consciousness — albeit a sort of grudging one, as her subsequent notes show. But first the material: She regards its method of reception, as well as its content, as representing breakthroughs of a kind for her, and because both that reception and content are related to “Unknown” Reality we’re presenting considerable portions of the statement here:)

(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.

“Usual memory is as much a sifting process as it is anything else, in which experience’s intensity varies — sometimes ‘alive’ neurologically and sometimes not — just to focus our consciousness in one probable action or series. (As I type I add: We forget anything not pertinent to our selected series of probable actions. The psyche knows its own parts. Seth says so in his books, but we ask the psyche the wrong questions.)

“In these side pockets, memory, so-called, is not so structured. Its ever-present living elements are apparent; and its growth. Its material is ever-fresh. Here the past still happens. Usually we experience it through neurological connections; that’s when it seems vivid or alive, but actually it’s that way all the time. Past motion and acts still go on, not recurring — it’s hard to explain — but those past actions are still exploring other probabilities, while our nervous structure focuses us in the one (physical) probable reality we’ve chosen. To us those other actions seem terminated … but that’s only because usually we can’t follow them.

[...] Was I trying to develop one of those here in my own physical reality? [...]

[...] The main identity continues to exist, even as the consciousnesses of millions of cells still exist that at one time were part of the body.

(A one-minute pause at 9:59.)

(A long pause, one of many, at 10:07.) The body’s very structure will in itself set patterns for the kinds of probabilities that can be practically experienced. [...]
