“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth’s phrase, “… you cannot see before or after what you think of as your birth or death….” triggered a set of associations for me, but they proved to have their complications. I thought I remembered a statement he’d made long ago, but now I couldn’t locate it within the body of his material. One by one my mental connections fell into place as I searched for it, yet for a time I was quite frustrated while I tried to physically verify my unconscious knowledge of its location.

(First I thought of Seth’s assertion in the 92nd session for September 28, 1964, that “trees have their dreams”; [in Volume 1, see the quotations in Note 1 for Session 698]. Then I remembered that he’d come through with extensive material on tree consciousness in a much earlier session. With Jane’s help the next day I found that information in the 18th session, which had been held on January 22, 1964. Most of that session is unpublished, although someday we’d like to print it in full. It contains many intriguing ideas — as, for example: “A tree knows a human being also … [yet it] does not even build up an image of a man, which is why this is so difficult to explain … And the same tree will recognize the same man who passes it by each day.”

(The morning after the above session had been held [on September 30, 1974], I asked Jane to write down what she’d told me at about 1:15 A.M. I remembered her description of it at the time, even though I’d been pretty bleary by then, but I wanted her own version for use here. [...]

[...] Try to remember what you did when you got up; what you wore. [...] Try to remember what stray thoughts came into your mind.

[...] Ideally it is possible not only to remember “past” lives, but to plan future ones now. [...]

[...] She vaguely remembered that Seth had talked about “sleepwalkers.” [...]
