“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(There are four recognized [electrical] brain waves, and in speed they range upward from 0 to 26 and more Hertz units, or cycles per second. These rhythms can vary somewhat, and are best thought of as areas of activity. Brain waves overlap. Very simply, delta brain waves are connected with dreamless sleep, theta with creativity and dreams, alpha with a relaxed alertness and changing consciousness; beta — the fastest — with concentration, and with an intense focus upon all of the challenges [and anxieties and stresses, many would say] faced in the ordinary daily world.

I do believe, however, that on occasion Jane has known a stepped-up awareness that almost equates with Seth’s concept-essence. One such instance is described in Appendix 7 for Volume 1: her reception of the material for a book called The Way Toward Health. At that time she tuned in to a different “neurological speed,” a faster one, so that much of the book was available to her at once. Jane’s pleasure at having the ability was strongly tempered, though — for while she “could feel the bulk and immediacy of the book,” as I quoted her in Appendix 7, she was “also frustrated that what I’ve got down is so little and sketchy — WHEN IT’S ALREADY HERE … If I could have immediately spoken the whole thing, it would have been done at once … I can’t tell you how frustrated — how blocked — this made me feel at the time.”

(In Volume 1, see the material on neurological speeds in Session 686. In Appendix 5 for the same session, see Jane’s own notes on that subject.)

“Consciousness forms patterns of identities. They move faster than the speed of light. They can be in more than one place at one time. (See notes 5 and 6 for Session 702.) They can operate in a freewheeling fashion as identities in themselves, or as ‘psychological particles.’ They can also operate in a wavelike fashion, flowing through other such particles. They can form together into endless, infinite combinations, forming psychological gestalts. Certain portions of these gestalts can then operate as ‘psychological particles’ in time and space, while other portions operate in a wavelike manner outside of time and space. These represent the unconscious elements of the species, which become ‘particleized’ in physical existence.”
