“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

But such pictures are there for any of you who want to view them. When you are ready to see them, you will. Many of you are not ready to meet those kinds of data … for a certain kind of finesse is required — a balance that you are learning. And each of you knows intuitively when you are open to such encounters.

Each of you takes part in your world — and in your time as you understand it, and in your terms, all the creatures of the earth participate in the century. You work out creative challenges and possibilities. You are born into different races, into different cultures, with different — but the same — desires … There are many things that you are learning. And so, if you will forgive me, my dear Florence, I will use you as an example.

(“Well,” I said to Jane after class, as we discussed the Chinese-American situation cited by Seth, “I don’t know about counterpart relationships in other kinds of realities, but it’s certainly obvious that at least some physical counterparts can hate each other …” So the larger self, I thought, would be quite capable of seeking experience through its parts in every way imaginable. Although it might be difficult for us to understand, let alone accept, the whole self or entity must regard all of its counterparts as sublime facets of itself — no matter whether they loved, suffered,⁵ hated, or killed each other or “outsiders.” Within its great reaches it would transform its counterparts’ actions in ways that were, quite possibly, beyond our emotional and intellectual grasp. At the same time, the self would learn and be changed through the challenges and struggles of its human portions.

(Seth’s material on counterparts did make us wonder about Jane’s and his earlier uses of the word and its concepts. Checking backward through past sessions and Jane’s poetry, I soon learned that her intuitive grasp of the term had always been truer than mine, for I’d carried the idea that “counterpart” implied a status of opposites rather than the complementary one it really does. Seth also used the term in its correct sense.⁷

[...] Seth: “Ruburt’s science kit is something picked up, in your terms, from another probability — in which he learned all there is to know about science as you know it. [...]

[...] The unknown reality is there presented to your view, and there is no biological, mental, or psychic reason why you cannot learn to use and understand your own dreaming reality.

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. [...]
