“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.”

(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 …

(Once new developments in Jane’s psychic abilities begin to show themselves, one can start backtracking to find possible origins. I’d say that her own awareness of multiple channels has grown out of her initial sensing of the channels available from Seth, as described in the 616th session in Chapter 2 of Personal Reality; and that her material on neurological speeds is related to the observations of Jane that were noted by Sue Watkins in Seth Speaks; see the 594th session in the Appendix of that book. I also think that a thorough search of earlier sessions would turn up many other clues, foreshadowing both eventualities.

New paragraph (and more rapidly): As egotistical consciousness expands to include hereto largely neglected data, then it will experience, practically speaking, a new kind of identity; knowing itself differently. [...]

[...] The specialized “new” kind of consciousness in one body had to respond pinpoint fast. [...]

The race was dealing with the creation of a new world of physical experience. [...]

Where your physical survival, in those terms, once depended upon a narrowed focus while you learned physical manipulation, now the success of that manipulation necessitates a broadening of focus — a new awakening into the larger existence of the selfhood, with what will be a corresponding rerecognition of neurological activity that is now only briefly sensed by some (like Jane), but present in the heritage of your corporal structure.
