“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

1. Today Jane had been looking at Einstein’s own book on his theories of relativity. (Relativity, The Special and the General Theory, Tr. by Robert W. Lawson, © 1961 by the Estate of Albert Einstein, Crown Publishers, Inc., New York, N.Y.) She soon laid it aside, telling me that she couldn’t understand much of it except by making a strong effort of will. The mathematics it contained were beyond her entirely. I had ordered the book last month after she expressed interest in seeing it. Einstein died in 1955 at the age of 76.

Now it’s suspected that, in many cases at least, some of the fundamental laws of nature aren’t directly available to us — that often our world presents to us only an approximate representation of its basic qualities. Science needs new theories to unify as many of the four forces of nature (gravity, electromagnetism, and the atomic “strong” and “weak” forces) as possible, instead of separating them as in the past. We are now told that simplicity is the thing.

(And, very simply, the idea that the “event horizons” of black holes may radiate detectable light could be a step in the unification of some of those forces — gravity and electromagnetism — as they are treated in relativity theory and quantum theory, respectively. See Note 4 for Session 681, and Note 4 for Session 688.)

7. Evidently Albert Einstein wasn’t a great mathematician. He often commented upon his poor memory. He did much of his work through intuition and images. Not long after the outline for his Special Theory of Relativity was published in 1905, it was said that Einstein owed its accomplishment at least partly to the fact that he knew little about the mathematics of space and time.

In the 45th session for April 20, 1964, I find Seth saying: “Einstein traveled within and trusted his own intuitions, and used his inner senses. He would have discovered much more had he been able to trust his intuitions even more, and able to leave more of the so-called scientific proof of his theories to lesser men, to give himself more inner freedom.”
