“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now — that is the end of Section 1, to be composed of the sessions as given, except with the Preface first. Section 1 should be entitled “You and the ‘Unknown’ Reality,” with “Unknown” in quotes. Give us a moment….

(I’d never seen so many in one flock, or gaggle, before. A certain number of birds shuttled back and forth within the formation at any one moment, changing their positions for reasons unknown to us, “talking” all the while. Once again, I found great reassurance in watching the spectacle of their flight. Those birds, I thought, knew where they were going — they knew what they were doing, in ways man could barely comprehend. I followed the formation until it disappeared in the mists and trees on the horizon.

(Another one-minute pause.) Give us a moment … The “unknown” reality sustains you and the web of life as you understand it. Your conscious concepts must enlarge so that the conscious self can understand its true nature. As you think of it, consciousness is barely — barely — half developed. It has learned to identify with one small group of neurologically accepted responses. Portions of the brain not used lie latent, waiting for the recognition that will trigger them into activity (intently). When this happens, the mind will become aware of the rich bed of probabilities upon which the ego now rides so blindly.

(Pause.) Speaking now in those historic terms that you understand, let me say that there was no single-line development from animal to man, but parallel lines, in which for centuries animal-man and man-animal coexisted cooperatively. In the same way now, unknown amongst you, many species of what you may call probable man⁶ dwell in embryo form.

[...] However, we’ve accumulated quite a bit of unpublished Seth material on dreams, and I’ll start looking for chances to insert some of those data in the rest of “Unknown” Reality.

[...] Aside from the question of whether “evolution” in ordinary linear terms has been scientifically proven [concerning which point Jane and I have many reservations], we were drawn to the article because we thought its “factual” information might eventually supplement some of Seth’s material for “Unknown” Reality.
