“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“The truth is,” Jane said to me the other evening, “I’m alone in this psychic thing. I’m the one who’s got to do it….” We were discussing the material Seth had given after 11:38 in the last [712th] session; he’d talked about some of the strains Jane had experienced while serving “the first portion of her apprenticeship” in the development of her psychic abilities. I’ve heard her say the same thing before, of course; see Note 13 for the 712th session. Basically, her examination of her inner dimensions must be a solitary one. When she began the sessions over 11 years ago, we requested advice and help from a few people,¹ but as we slowly began to understand the very personal nature of her gifts we realized that she’d have to find her own answers as she went along, with whatever help I could learn to offer.

(This afternoon Jane told me that in her sleep last night she’d had bleed-throughs from Seth about the material to come next in his book. She described it to me — and tonight Seth followed that subject matter very closely in the first part of the session. I suggest the reader review the 711th session in connection with this evening’s data to 11:26.)

(9:50.) We are trying to make an analogy here on two levels, so please bear with me. In terms of your psyche, each of your own thoughts and actions exist not only in the manner with which you are familiar with them, but also in many other forms that you do not perceive, colon: forms that may appear as natural events in a different dimension than your own, as dream images, and even as self-propelling energy. No energy is ever lost. The energy within your own thoughts, then, does not dissipate even when you yourself have finished with them. Their energy has reality in other worlds.³

(“I get the strangest feeling of ‘folded time’ during the sessions,” Jane continued “I’m caught. I can get more on the book or some on me. I don’t know what to do. I know the book stuff is all right there — but it takes time to get it. It’s too bad I can’t get it instantaneously.⁸ I really want both sets of material, so I guess I’ll wait and see what happens….”

He was determined to find the kind of mate that would best suit him and his own unique characteristics. That intent was in his mind. When that challenge was met he used his will and mobilized all of his power to fulfill his abilities, and to bring about conditions in which he hoped Joseph (as Seth calls me) could also fulfill his. The will, again, operates according to the personality’s beliefs about reality, so its desires are sometimes tempered as those beliefs change. In his own way Ruburt always concentrated upon one challenge at a time — boring in, so to speak, and ignoring anything else that might distract him.

(End at 12:23 A.M. At the breakfast table some hours later, Jane told me that once again she’d “worked on Seth’s book all night.”

Seth continued the session by expressing his concern lest this kind of material lead to feelings of insignificance on our parts. (In Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, see Session 681 at 10:00, with Note 2.) However, in a poem she wrote for me a few years later — at Christmastime 1973 — Jane herself dealt equally well with the idea of simultaneous interactions between realities:
