“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had been in another lackadaisical mood most of the day, yet she’d told me after supper that she wanted to have a session tonight. At 9:15, as we sat waiting, she had her first intimation from Seth that a session would actually take place. “And it’ll be on the book … I’m not used to being so relaxed beforehand, though …” What developed was a very short session, and contrary to her expectations, Seth devoted half of it to Jane herself. I had two questions prepared, both growing out of material in “Unknown” Reality, but had to lay them aside until next time.)

Give us a moment … I said earlier in this book that the world you know arises from basic unpredictability, from which significances then emerge. ⁴ No system of reality is closed. The particular string of probable actions that you call your official experience does not just dangle, then, out in space and time — it interweaves with other such strands that you do not recognize. In the waking state the conscious mind must focus rather exclusively upon that one particular point of concentration that you call reality, simply so that it can direct your activities properly in temporal life. It is quite equipped, however, also to direct you to some extent in other levels of reality when it is not needed for specific survival duties.

(Seth’s last statement had to do with his contention that “hormones are also automatically released into the system, encouraging either periods of activity or tranquilizing periods, according to the specific portions of the overall process [of healing]. The dreams provide a steady give-and-take between conscious and so-called unconscious activity. This is also a time of deep unconscious creativity….”

Seth began talking about dreams and related subjects from the time these sessions began over 11 years ago. His material led Jane to do some excellent work with dreams on her own. See, for example, chapters 4 and 5 in The Coming of Seth, and Chapter 14 in The Seth Material. Actually, Seth and Jane dream data run through all of the books those two have produced so far, either singly or together.

[...] Jane’s use of it here in her own material was rather unusual, however, and took us way back to the first time we heard it from Seth, in the 16th session for January 15, 1964.
