“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(She enjoyed the exchange a great deal, she made sketches while speaking on such subjects as the many facets of the electron and its behavior; time and its variations; gravity, its changes with motion, and its attributes in the past, present, and future; the velocities of light; mathematical equations; astronomy, including perceptions by telescope of the future as well as of the past; the structure of the earth’s core; earthquakes and “black” sound/light; language, including glossolalia and her own Sumari; pyramids, coordination points, and so forth. Our guest recorded it all and is to send us a transcript [which he did]. Jane plans to quote parts of it in Psychic Politics.² These bits are from her material about gravity and age: “There is a different kind of gravity that surrounds older objects than that which surrounds younger ones, but we don’t perceive this at the level of our instruments. We can pick it up, however, if we know where to look. Age affects gravity … Older objects are heavier. This is ordinary gravity — not some new kind.”

“It seems to be an easy natural state for me to take; I go into it ‘like a duck takes to water,’ I guess, but it’s difficult to explain. It’s a state in which hardly any resistance is encountered; answers are ‘just there.’ The only problem is in getting the information across to another person in terms of his or her vocabulary. I enjoy this particular ‘alteration of consciousness,’ although I don’t really recognize it as alien to my regular one; it’s just different. It’s an accelerated condition mixed with passivity, poised. If [our scientist’s] attitude had been critical, I probably wouldn’t have done as well, though.”

3. Both Jane and I think Seth’s statement, that in another probability “Ruburt … learned all there is to know about science …” is pretty strong, but since it came through that way we let it stand. However, as Jane wrote later in Chapter 11 of Politics: “Finding out what’s happening to electrons, say, is something I really enjoy. I admit I feel much more free than I do when I have people’s emotions to deal with. I’d rather ‘find’ a lost electron than a lost person any day, for example.”
