“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“I had all kinds of sudden flashes about this when I was doing the dishes (less than half an hour ago) — about Seth’s book, and that in a strange way it was difficult for me to get this book material. It was new, maybe; it would involve concepts that by themselves went against the grain of usual conscious thought, which wants to go consecutively. It’s as though my consciousness is trying to use a new kind of organization — for me, for it — and so there’s a kind of unfamiliarity. No scientific language would be used — not that I know any — but that would structure what I’m trying to do; and unwittingly, perhaps, it might lead me into a scientific dogma without recognizing it. Besides, that would put an unnecessary burden on the reader, who might feel he or she needed a particular vocabulary. The use of a normal vocabulary would put the ideas within the reach of the ordinary person as much as possible. Although most people might need to work at it to understand the material, there’d be no automatic difficulties with words.”

“Now I’m getting ideas from so many places at once, so fast, that I can’t express them all. I need you to coach me, to ask, ‘What’s happening now?’ to keep me focused on one channel…. Because our mental habits automatically block out such material, we only recognize one series of neurological happenings — it takes time for the message to leap the nerve endings [the synapses]. We just recognize one speed. Other messages leap too fast or too slow for us to focus upon them. By altering our consciousness in the way I’m learning to do now, though, we can line up our focuses with these other ‘ghostly’ messages, that are quite as real as the neurological validity we usually accept.”

(She laughed again.) “I also have an awful feeling that I’m going to get some kind of instructions from Seth about what I’m to do physically in order to get this material, and so compensate for this new way of receiving things … but don’t put that in the notes …

[...] To do this particular kind of experiment, it was necessary that physical manipulation be concentrated upon. [...] Do you want to rest your hand?

(“Do you mean in all areas of the planet, for instance?”)

[...] You cannot kick an “enemy” who does not live in your village or country; an enemy, furthermore, whom you do not even know personally. [...]

(Louder:) Now I do not think you can reasonably be expected to take any more notes without a break, and so I give you one.
