“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(2. Once when Jane woke up she had the idea of “counterparts and four-fronted selves” in mind. As she wrote today: “There might be four counterparts alive in one general time period — a century — for example. These form a psychic ‘block’, and any of the four can pick up information from this joint pool [of identity]. Each person is distinct, yet each is an added dimension of the others, so that on different levels the four [in this case] create an alliance and become a four-fronted counterpart self; covering a given century … This is a ‘working alliance’ that exists in potential form always. But the four-fronted counterpart self’s own sense of continuity is not broken up; it persists outside of space and time, while its parts — the individual selves, or counterparts — live in space and time….”⁶

Those seeds form the physical races, which are all variations on a theme, or as Ruburt would say, eccentricities² of an everchanging model. You accept the fact that there are biological connections in terms of family, country, and race, between yourselves and the other individuals on your planet. The species divides itself up, so to speak, and the members of the different races at any given time distribute themselves in the various lands and continents. You are used to making organizations. You say: “This race is thus and so, and we can trace its history through the ages.”* Or: “That race initiated language.” Generally speaking, you see certain races as having their own characteristics. When you do this you often ignore other contradictory tendencies that are not as apparent. No one, however, feels less a person because of not being in a race by himself or herself.

(The next morning Jane told me that she’d been “getting stuff all night again” on “Unknown” Reality. As they have rather often recently, the phenomena had persisted in varying forms through her sleeping and waking states. They had been very creative phenomena, though. After breakfast Jane enthusiastically set to work writing about her new ideas; she plans to use them in Psychic Politics. Here I can barely touch upon a couple of examples of what she experienced throughout the night, and wrote about today. She may revise her copy somewhat before it appears in Politics, but I prefer to quote from her original notes:

6. A note added a few days later: In revised form, Jane did soon discuss her material on “counterparts and four-fronted selves” in Politics. See Chapter 12.

You form your history. You form your reality, and so no one is thrust into a position which first was not accepted as a challenge. [...] You have comrades, and you come to this earth at a given time and place of your choice, and so do you reap and form the great challenges of your age.

“Not long after I closed my eyes I saw, almost in silhouette, a Roman soldier standing on the top of a square, crenelated tower that formed a corner or angle in a massive stone wall. [...]

[...] Aerial photos show that now, at least, there’s more than one southeastern corner of the city formed as the battlemented, meandering southern wall turns north in a series of steps or right angles. [...]
