“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the 737th session, after 11:55, Seth mentioned the “other dentist” who lived and worked around the corner from the apartment house Jane and I moved into in 1960, upon our arrival in Elmira. We soon became acquainted with him and his family on a very casual basis, since the back of his property abuts the west yard of the apartment house.

Many of the children are grown, and the adults have more time to think and ponder. They also need to see other life-styles. The mixture of families of consciousness allows you also to take a close look at the ways in which these tendencies merge to form communities. You are not moving into a closed psychic area, then, where everyone sees the world as you do, even generally speaking. Nor should you.

[...] I’ve always had the knowledge of Sumari, I think … Funny — I don’t know how to describe it, really, but I feel that through all of my lives at least one of my functions has been to act as a sort of catalyst between the Sumari and other families of consciousness. [...]
