“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Prime identities cannot be duplicated. Duplication, exact duplication, is always merely an effect of insufficient knowledge. In some cases two thoughts may indeed appear identical, but whether or not examination can show it, such exact duplication is impossible. Now. When receiver B receives this transmitted thought, he may react and interpret that part of the thought that is similar to the original.

Practically, your own identities exist electronically, as I have explained, in codified form. At some later occasion, we shall go into seeming duplications, for such duplications are only apparent, of a nature that could be compared to a reflective result. In such cases almost, though not entirely without exception, such a duplicate is projected by an original electronically. We are not quite ready yet for this material. I wanted however to mention the possibility of such occurrences, since such projections have and do happen with some frequency.

Whether or not A, the sender, knowingly transmits this apparent duplicate, at the point of its transmission the sender forms an electrical impulse pattern that is supposed to duplicate the original thought. But no such identical duplication is possible, as far as I know, within reality of any kind.

If you will consider the projection of a thought, that is intangible, so that it affects another individual, and hence both directly and indirectly affects the action of physical matter, then you may consider the possibility of other such projections. We have here a rather delicate point. I have said that there are no duplicates. Yet you may say, are not some thoughts duplicates? The variations may indeed be slight, but the variations are always present. A thought transmitted knowingly or unknowingly by “A” is not precisely the same thought when it reaches receiver “B”.

“That’s why we don’t bother with effects that can be duplicated,” Seth suddenly said, “but with this performance and our books, which cannot be duplicated. [...]

[...] It had something to do with her perception of two identical masses of landscape, one being meant to duplicate the other. At the same time, she said, the duplicating mass would have to displace another equal mass to make room for the duplication.

[...] There are, as I mentioned, no duplication of identities.

[...] The chair created then by any given individual, and perceived by him, is an identity in that it exists at any given time, without any exact duplication. Basically, for any duplication to appear, the exact atoms and molecules would have to be used, and this is obviously impossible.

[...] He does not even send an exact duplicate. [...]

[...] There is no need to duplicate material. [...]

[...] Since it is for 25¢, there is ample room there for “something two times, in duplicate, or as twins.” [...] “It’s a duplicate [mentioned in test] of a money order,” Jane wrote later. [...]

Something two times, in duplicate, or as twins.

[...] As before, we sat in our living room, with the shades pulled and a couple of soft lights on, trying to duplicate the atmosphere of our first session. [...]

[...] A copy will be added to this session, hopefully, if I can remember to do so after having it duplicated.)

[...] For later reference now add this: along these lines a number can be more than itself, and be duplicated invisibly as an equation, changing the nature of the equation and of the results, while never showing itself. [...]

[...] (He then implied that spirits that had left the earth were seldom responsible in the first place.) Worry itself will, however, induce (he may have said “duplicate” ) a state similar to the preliminary stages of possession. [...]

[...] It would be impossible to truly duplicate it. [...]

[...] The 1’s behind are not serial, nor identical, nor duplicates.

I’m still not finished with the duplication of Jane’s and my papers for Yale University Library. [...]

[...] I’ll attach a copy of the Sinful Self’s material to this session if Jane ever types it in duplicate. [...]

[...] I would delight in seeing it duplicated today, using identical stone, tools, etc., with time trials.

[...] We get the duplicated transcript of each ESP class the following week, so we do not have the record for last night’s ESP class session, for January 11, yet.

There are such subtle qualities affecting the nature of all thought, such emotional gradations, that no one is ever identical — (smile) and incidentally, no physical object in your system is an exact duplicate of any other. [...]

In the life of the psyche a dream is no more or less “true,” whether or not it is duplicated in waking life. [...]

[...] We must also make sure that no words, sentences, or paragraphs have been inadvertently duplicated or omitted. [...]
