(11:36.) Next chapter [Nineteen]: “The Concentration of Energy, Beliefs, and the Present Point of Power.”

[...] (See the 645th session in Chapter Eleven.) In your own experiences, many of you may find yourselves concentrating upon certain areas of activity with such energy that you ignore others, considering them restrictions.

CHAPTER 19

Today, Monday March 26, 1979 I briefly look over the start Seth has on chapter 6 of Mass Reality. [...] (There was some other stuff I got but I’ve forgotten it already.) Anyway the chapter was to be followed according to what I got, by one on frightened people who suddenly break out of old ideas, open their mental environments, and seemingly work miracles in their lives; like the old man, the old woman....

Dictation: The natural therapies of the body can be called upon with great effectiveness, as you will see in the next chapter. [...]

End of chapter.

(When he originally gave us the 812th session some 16 months ago, Seth told us it would “be part of a chapter later in the book….” [...] They fit in well with material in Mass Events, however — indeed, as soon as Seth confirmed Jane’s headings for Part 3 and Chapter 6, we knew that we’d found the place to present this material. [...]

CHAPTER 6

[...] A note: This will be part of a chapter, later in the book, on mass events.

[...] Then I remembered that Seth hadn’t given headings for the first eight chapters of his book. He’d told us not to worry about this in Chapter Seventeen. [...] Impossible as it seemed, well over a year had passed since she had stopped reading the book, session by session, early in Chapter Four. [...]

(During the break Jane read over parts of Chapter Eighteen of The Seth Material, then announced that she thought there was a contradiction, between that material — originally from the 491st session on July 2, 1969 — on the three Christs, and the information given by Seth this evening. Here are the paragraphs in question from pages 246–47 of the chapter on “The God Concept”:

[...] Again, Ruburt picked this up from me this afternoon: When I deviated from the original outline as given (in the 510th session for January 19, 1970), I gave chapter headings. [...] I inserted many chapters where none were mentioned, and so used the headings from then onward.

(Jane preferred that Seth simply start in where he had left off on the chapter — a feat I was sure he was quite capable of. [...]

[...] We are beginning the next chapter and the heading is: “Grace, Conscience, and Your Daily Experience.”

Thus far I have rather frequently mentioned the state of grace (in the 636th session in Chapter Nine, for instance), because while it has many dimensions it is, practically speaking, the cause of your sense of well-being and accomplishment. [...]

(12:25 a.m. Seth, Jane said, was all ready to keep going if we gave the word — the rest of the chapter “was right there.” [...]

CHAPTER 12

[...] Chapter Three: “Suggestion, Telepathy, and the Grouping of Beliefs.”

[...] Note the difference between Seth’s heading for this chapter and the one Jane gave before the session.)

[...] As mentioned (in Chapter One), the ego, while a portion of the whole self, can be defined as a psychological “structure,” composed of characteristics belonging to the personality as a whole, organized together to form a surface identity.

[...] I told you (at the beginning of this chapter) that it was important to realize the ego’s position as the most “exterior” portion of the inner self, not alienated but looking outward to physical reality. [...]

End of chapter. [...]

In Note 1 for Session 939, in this Chapter 12, I quoted myself as telling Jane last December 1 that she hadn’t walked for “two weeks over a year now, I think it is. [...]

[...] Well over two and a half years ago, I wrote in the opening notes for that session that Jane had “some 17 chapters in fairly good shape for her third Seven novel, Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time.” [...]

I can’t note the same for The Magical Approach to Reality: A Seth Book—the very promising work that Jane and I first discussed a year and a half ago [in August 1980], after Seth had started his group of excellent private sessions on that subject.⁸ I watched Jane try to write the book a number of times; last month, in Note 6 for Session 939 [in this chapter], I finally expressed the opinion that she wouldn’t finish the job. [...]

(10:41 to 10:47.) Now: I will begin the next chapter, or you can have an early session if you prefer.

Chapter Fifteen: “Which You? [...]

CHAPTER 15

[...] She hasn’t read it beyond the first part of Chapter Four, although I gave her a short excerpt from Chapter Six to read to her ESP class. [...]

[...] In the following chapter we will discuss you and your probable selves.

1. Among other sessions in Personal Reality, see the 634th in Chapter 8, and the 642nd in Chapter 11.

[...] Jane describes the whole development in chapters 7 and 8 of Adventures. Various Sumari examples can also be found in Chapter 20 and the Appendix of her novel, Oversoul Seven. [...]

Now: End of dictation, and very near the end of the chapter. And at the end of the chapter ask those questions that you have in mind.

[...] As the chapter progressed, though, Seth was automatically answering many of our questions about religion; originally we’d included these in our list for Chapter Twenty.)

[...] After listening for a bit, Jane asked me not to pursue this subject now; she suggested I ask these questions at the end of the chapter, if Seth hadn’t volunteered the answers before then. [...]

We’ll have a good chapter.

[...] The following material is included because it supplements Seth’s data in Chapter Twenty-one. After Seth began that chapter Jane and I realized we could become quite interested in biblical history, but our time for learning had been brief. [...]

(In the last two chapters Seth has answered just about all of the questions remaining on the list we had prepared originally for Chapter Twenty.

[...] She’d mentioned such feelings occasionally before, since Seth began work on the last two chapters.)

I titled this chapter “A Goodbye and an Introduction.” [...]

The change in his subjective life is considerable, as the psychic work and his easy manner in the chapter clearly shows. [...] He did not want to admit the importance of the chapter, although he knows it is good. [...]

[...] He was afraid the chapter would catch him up, just when he was ready to relax and let go, a deep breath signifying a breath of relief. He should be able you see to take a deep breath of relief, and feel relaxed because the chapter is completed, and he knows well he can follow through with the book. [...]

He is attempting to hide from himself the importance he feels connected to the chapter he has just finished and will send to Mossman. [...]

[...] Again, the point is that he covered up the fear of rejection, and tried to minimize the place of importance that the chapter has for him.

2. In Chapter 2 for Psychic Politics Jane presents not only her library material, but quotations from the 715th session for “Unknown” Reality itself. [...] By late November, in other words, Jane had signed a contract with Prentice-Hall for the publication of Politics in 1976, and had also had time to do considerable work on its early chapters. We already knew that she would initiate some transposition of material from Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality into Politics, since she was so intimately and enthusiastically involved in producing both works at the same time: I first wrote about such an exchange in Note 3 for Session 714 (when indicating that she’d used portions of that session in Chapter 1 of Politics).

[...] She also wrote about those transcendent experiences in Adventures; see Chapter 9 for her “paper” perceptions (in March 1972), and Chapter 15 for her encounters with the rain creature and the light (in February 1973). Both Jane and Seth had things to say about the rain creature and the light in Personal Reality; see the 639th session for Chapter 10.

[...] See, therefore, Seth’s material on reincarnation in Chapter 4 (among others) of Seth Speaks; then see his material on probable selves in Chapter 16 of that book, and in Session 680 for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality.

[...] [And added later: I remind the reader to see her own much-longer account of the whole experience in Chapter 2 of Politics.] )

(Both of us were looking forward to some private material we’d asked for earlier today; Jane already “knew” that Seth would give it tonight, but first she wanted some dictation on Chapter Twenty. [...]

[...] (See Chapter Eighteen.) In somewhat the same way, you have a part to play individually in the creation of the dream landscape. [...]

[...] As I mentioned earlier (in the 652nd session in Chapter Thirteen, for instance), the division is largely the result of your mass and private beliefs in the nature of reality, and in the habits the race has acquired of separating “objective” data from subjective.

[...] The reference to probabilities in the material reminded me of Chapter Sixteen in Seth Speaks. In that chapter Seth voices one of my favorite quotes: “Each mental act opens up a new dimension of actuality. [...]

[...] (See the footnote about hormones in the 621st session in Chapter Four.)

There is another consideration involving medicine; though as I mentioned earlier (in the 624th session from Chapter Five), if you accept Western medical beliefs I am not suggesting that you suddenly forsake all doctors. [...]

[...] As mentioned earlier in this book (in the 627th session in Chapter Six), you may become hard of hearing because you firmly believe that this must come with age. [...]

[...] She finished Chapter 17 today, and wrote in her journal after supper: “Very very very good on Chapter 17—oodles of new insights! Pleased!” She envisions at least another half dozen chapters for the book, but at the same time she’s leaving final decisions up to her creative self. [...] I last mentioned it a month ago; in Chapter 6 for Volume 1 of Dreams, see the opening notes for the 907th session.

[...] New chapter (8). [...]

CHAPTER 8

She’s been most intrigued by Seth’s referrals to the concept of “master events” ever since he gave them in the final session for Chapter 8—preparations, she hoped, for his material this evening. [...]

[...] New chapter (9): “Master Events and Reality Overlays” (all with much humorous emphasis).

“Sunday, June 8, 1980: As I went about the day, showering, doing my hair, reading the paper, doing my exercises and so forth, I kept getting stuff from Seth on … the next chapter of his book, I think to be called ‘Master Events and Overlays.’ There can be overlays of one civilization onto another, so that a ‘real’ civilization in one sphere of existence can appear as myth in another…. [...]

[...] He gave it in the 832nd session for Chapter 5 of Mass Events (on January 29, 1979), and I quoted it in the Preliminary Notes to the Preface for Dreams: “Nature in all of its varieties is so richly encountered by the animals….”

[...] (See Chapter Six, and the 633rd session in Chapter Eight.) Augustus felt powerless, considering power in terms of aggression and violence, so he isolated that portion of himself from himself and projected it into a “second self.” [...]

[...] See her notes at the end of the 660th session in this chapter.)

[...] (See the 634th session in Chapter Eight.)

If you utilize the point of power properly (as described in the 657th session in Chapter Fifteen), you will feel the nonphysical energy translated into effective personal power through your intersection with flesh. [...]
