“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Louder:) The creator is not the master of his creations. He is simply their creator, and he creates because he does not attempt to control. Period.

(Again loudly:) Michelangelo⁵ roamed the centuries, picking up visions and ideas as others might buy postcards, journeying from one country to a foreign land. His genius shows you what you are, and yet it is but a hint of the potential with which your species is endowed.

That soul constantly creates the body, and each individual on the face of the earth at any given time places his or her trust in that reality. That feeling of certainty is the same that any plant knows. Any idea, creative insight, or dream, rides upon the same sure thrust.

1. Seth, way back in the 23rd session for February 5, 1964: “Nor do I know all the answers. It is, however, a fact that even man, in his blundering manner, will discover that he himself creates his own physical universe, and that the mechanisms of the physical body have more functions and varieties than he knows.”

2. At about the time Seth was producing his material on patterns for “Unknown” Reality, Jane was dealing with the same concept from her own much more personal viewpoint. See Chapter 18 of Politics: “It’s the entire human element that is so perplexing, vast, humorous, and tragic all at once. To some extent, my humor helps me avoid pitfalls, and lets me help others to see their lives in better perspective.

3. See Seth’s material on his units of consciousness, or CU’s, in sessions 682–83 for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. In the 682nd session after 9:47, for example, he discussed relationships between CU’s and probable realities.

6. Much of Seth’s material in this session (and in this paragraph), along with his obviously intense feelings about what he was saying, reminded me of a group of sessions he gave well over a decade ago on the three creative dilemmas of All That Is. In them he discussed at length the “agonized search” for expression of the powers of creativity and existence, and how the beginning of that search “may have represented the birth throes of All That Is as we know it.”

Seth’s almost casual remark here: “So does it appear to my consciousness,” embodies a new thought for us in connection with Jane’s adventures with massiveness; it’s the kind of clue about the Seth phenomenon that we’re always interested in getting. I also think the statement represents one way in which Jane, while speaking for Seth, interprets his reality for us in terms we can understand.
