“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(9:24.) “Now while giving all of that, I’m in some kind of altered state of consciousness that I can’t quite identify. What’s so strange about it, I guess, is that I don’t seem able to verbally put my fingers on it.” (Jane laughed, scrambling her syntax.) “I can’t pick it up, and for that reason it can get quite exasperating when I talk about it. I feel, though, that all of this is part of tonight’s session.”

“I almost feel that if you asked me at any time of the day, ‘Jane, what are you getting now?’ that I could tune into any of these areas of information, and tell you … As the messages leap the nerve ends they form certain pulses; we recognize these as messages and ignore all the others. I feel as though I’m learning to jump in between the recognized pulses and pick up usually inaccessible ones. Trying to make all this verbal is very difficult.”

(9:10 P.M. Jane began her own dictation before tonight’s session by saying that as she’d typed her statements yesterday [for Appendix 4] she would “get glimpses” of some of the concepts Seth was going to talk about in “Unknown” Reality — yet they would immediately vanish from her consciousness, so that all she had left was the knowledge that she’d experienced the insight.

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.”

[...] With memory, however, mental projections into the future were of course also possible so that man could plan his activities in time, and foresee probable results: “Ghost images” of the future probabilities always acted as mental stimuli for physical explorations in all areas, and of all kinds.

[...] I had it down all right; I hadn’t lost my way after all.

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

(I felt all right, but Jane, still in trance, held up her empty cigarette pack. [...]
