“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane said that I might better ask questions only during break, at least for now. My inquiry about early man hadn’t “seriously” disturbed her; but I’d been correct in feeling that I shouldn’t have interrupted her then. She also talked about possible confusions or conflicts between Seth doing “Unknown” Reality while she was writing her own Adventures in Consciousness. She’s had no trouble, however, and is still enthusiastic about her book; she’s putting Chapter 4 into final form. Adventures is due at her publishers, Prentice-Hall, Inc., in September 1974.

I have my own existence, that is quite different from Ruburt’s, and yet I also have a reality that is connected to his psyche.⁶ Each of you also have the same kind of connection with other “more knowledgeable” portions of yourself, or your greater identity, that are independently themselves and yet also alive in your psyches. They are portions of the “unknown” reality.

Now I am able to obtain information that Ruburt, in his terms, does not have. In other terms he does have it, and so do you, but you have been mentally, spiritually, and biologically prejudiced against it. As a race, you are ready to become more aware of your greater reality, however, and to explore its “unknown” aspects. Period. Hence this book.

(Jane’s trance had been very deep. Now she was bleary-eyed: “I feel as though I don’t want to think for two weeks …” Seth hadn’t said so during the session, but Jane told me she’d “picked up from him” that she should eat an extra meal a day for a while — usually late at night, as, say, after a session. Also, she should take extra exercise each day, moving as rapidly as she could. She wasn’t under any additional strain while producing “Unknown” Reality, she added, since she wanted to do it, but those simple actions would help refresh her. Her use of energy since starting the book has been lavish. Jane’s comments before tonight’s session about possible instructions from Seth are given in Appendix 5.

(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.
