“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon Jane called Tam Mossman, her editor at Prentice-Hall, and told him: “I’ve got my next book.” She’s calling it Psychic Politics. Already she thinks of it as another aspect psychology book, a sequel to Adventures in Consciousness.¹

(Jane, in an obvious state of altered or enhanced consciousness, not only outlined all of Politics today, but wrote four manuscript pages that will either go into its Introduction or Chapter 1. All of the material poured out of her in a most remarkable, unimpeded way — “… as though it was already finished somewhere else, just waiting for me to get it down. But I had to do it just so, right to the last word,” she said, then added enthusiastically, “I think it’s a classic.” Involved with Politics is her perception of another version of herself in a psychic “library,” from which, evidently, she is to acquire a significant portion of her new book.

(As we sat waiting at 9:32, Jane reported that she was getting her “pyramid” or “cone” effect. At such times she feels that subjective shape come down just over her head — always pointed upward, symbolically perhaps, toward other realities. She also thought she might go into her “massive” feelings at any moment. “But I don’t think any of this has to do with Seth Two,”² she said. She was still exhilarated from her work on Politics. “I’m getting two things: The session’s going to be book dictation, which surprises me, but it’s also going to be on what’s happening to me now…. And I am getting the massive thing….”

(So, given Jane’s satisfying yet exhilarating expressions of consciousness throughout the day, I hardly regard it as surprising that she plunged into additional excellent states this evening. Paradoxically, her inspired reception of the material for Psychic Politics came about not only because of her innate knowledge feeling-tones, but because she gave that basic creative phenomenon expression in Politics.

3. A note added later: Jane used certain portions of the 714th session in Chapter 1 of Politics, while making her own points there. Since it’s obviously part of “Unknown” Reality too, however, the entire session is presented in place in Volume 2. The same reasoning applies to the material each of us contributed at session’s end.

6. In her work on Politics today, Jane had already begun writing about the Akashic Records. Her inspiration had been the result of her quite unexpected, humorous, appalling — yet finally illuminating — encounter this morning with a visitor who’d attended her ESP class last night.

Occasionally we’ll meet one or more of our secondhand detractors. Then of course we’re greeted with polite smiles; the conversation may touch upon the weather, but hardly ever upon matters psychic. Sometimes we’ll discover that the “knowledge” of us held by the skeptic(s) in question is so far removed from our actual beliefs and activities that it would take us a very long time to establish any real understanding among all involved — if it would be possible to begin with, that is. We always elect to pass up such “opportunities.”

“Each frequency, so to speak, functions as a messenger, triggering body response before an actual reaction is apparent … In any body difficulty, the light and sound frequencies become out of tune, you might say. The overall ‘true tone’ is muddied. When Ruburt began Politics he experienced his ‘true tone’ mentally and psychically. Though he did not realize it, this gave him something to go by, so that now … he is unconsciously [still] bringing about the physical equivalent of that true tone.”
