“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The properties of the earth are meant to lead you into the nature of the soul. You create physical reality, yet without knowing how you do so, so that the wondrous structure of the earth itself is meant to lead you to question your own source. [...]

[...] The physical portions of earth are all related. [...]

[...] Physically you are a part of every other person upon the earth, and you have a connection with each leaf and frog and nail.

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. [...]

There are endless planes upon your earth, or rather endless planes occurring simultaneously with your earth. Your solid earth is not a solid to inhabitants of other planes that would seem to take up the same space as your earth. [...]

(“Do you mean planes here on earth?”)

These other planes that you would say exist simultaneously with you in the same space as your earth, are unperceived of course by you. [...]

There are several of these culture establishment existences or planes, coexisting in the same space as your earth; but when I say coexisting in the same space I am speaking on your terms and simplifying to an alarming degree.

[...] But if people loved the part of the earth that makes up their bodies, then they’d treat themselves more gently. And the earth would know. [...]

Earth, feeding her desire,

I shall be part of earth and spring again, grandfather.

[...] Although she begins by once again expressing doubts, or at least qualifications, about her mystical status, I think her comprehension that she’s part of the day, of the earth, and of time, is surely a description of her independent pursuit of the mystical way. [...]

[Many of] the flying saucer appearances come from [such] a plane, [one] that is much more advanced in technological sciences than earth at this time. [...] Its actual structure is caught in a dilemma of form … between transforming itself completely into earth’s particular camouflage pattern, and retaining its original pattern. The earthly viewer attempts to correlate what he sees with what he supposedly knows or imagines possible in the universe.

(“Can hypnosis send an individual ahead into his next incarnation, or into life after his earth cycle is completed?”)

(“Did you ever try anything like that while you lived on earth?”)

(“How many times have the continents on earth risen and fallen?”)

[...] God the Father would be recognized and the Earth Goddess forgotten. [...] Man would believe he did indeed have dominion over the earth as a separate species, for God the Father had given it to him.

[...] Men and animals will again meet upon the earth, with the old understanding in yet a new situation.⁷ There are no closed systems, and in deep biological orders each species knows what another is doing, and its place in the overall scheme that has been chosen by each. You are perceived in one way or another by all those inhabitants of earth you may consider beneath you. [...]

While it (ego consciousness) recognized its deep oneness with the earth and all creatures, it could not at the same time develop those abilities of specialization and its own particular unique focus. [...]

(Pause.) The human body would be used in earth’s great husbandry as, from it, dying and decaying new forms would arise. [...]

(With emphasis:) I am not saying, for example, that the living consciousness of each individual returned to the earth literally, but that the physical material permeated and stamped with that consciousness did, and does. [...]

[...] It would become highly important again, however, when the planet was populated extensively, as it is now — only the original feeling of home area has to be extended over the face of the earth. [...]

[...] You will also be connected through the physical framework of the earth in the large give-and-take of its space-time scheme.

(“Does this include the actual physical construction of the earth itself? Or are you referring to the beginnings of life upon an earth already in existence?”)

That includes constructing the earth itself, and when I spoke of the first particle I referred to the very first materialization of physical matter, period. It was this first particle before earth had its form to which I referred when saying that it was the result of the will of all the entities who would ever be born upon it.

[...] The smallest minute first portion represented the will and vitality of all the entities that would ever dwell upon the earth that would come after.

[...] It involved a foresight hardly imaginable, and I repeat that you had your part in the initial reaction, as did every entity who lived or will live upon the earth; and here we are getting into something rather difficult but certainly no mystery.

The earth has gone through entire cycles unsuspected by your scientists. Modern man, then, existed with other manlike species, and appeared in many different places on the earth, and at different ages.

[...] Man, as you think of him, shared the earth with the other creatures just mentioned. [...]

[...] In a manner of speaking they had the earth to themselves for many centuries, in that modern man did not compete with them.

There are organizations of consciousness, however, that leapfrog the species, that produce no arts or sciences per se — yet these together form the living body of the earth and the physical creatures thereon. [...]

The natural structures of the earth are formed as the result of the biological cooperation of all species, and consciousness itself is independent of any of the forms that it may at one time or another assume.

[...] “It” is also aware of the state of the earth’s health — even of the environmental conditions on the other side of the planet. [...]

[...] The dream state provides the impetus for growth, and opens up to the earth-tuned consciousness avenues of information for its physical survival.

Now: The earth has a structure. [...]

You take it for granted that the earth has a history. [...]

[...] In the same way, you are alive whether or not you are playing on an earth “program.” [...]

[...] Yet there is indeed an inner commerce that occurs, and as the exterior continents rise from the inner structure of the earth, so the lands of the psyche emerge from an even greater invisible source.

(Many sessions ago, Seth told us he had a dog fragment personality still here on Earth. [...] “Number twenty-five: Do you have any physical fragments of any kind still here on earth?”)

(10:35.) Perhaps reincarnations are over for a given individual, for example, yet within him is still some sense of yearning for the natural earth with which he has so often been involved. [...] When this is done, the earth is then experienced in the way natural for the form. [...]

[...] The wind outside and the breath were felt to be one and the same, so that the wind was the earth breathing out the breath that rose from the mouths of the living, spreading out through the earth’s body. [...]

[...] Yet the grandeur of the emotions was allowed full sway, and the seasons of the earth and the world were jointly felt.

[...] The wind makes certain sounds that are dependent upon the characteristics of the earth. [...]

[...] To develop its sense of specialization, the ego forgot the great cooperative venture of the earth. [...] Biologically the man knows he has come from the earth. Some of his cells have been the cells of animals, and the animal knows he will look out through a man’s eyes.³ The earth venture is cooperative. [...]

[...] Yet such experiments represent a strong line of probability only in its “infancy,” in which man could sustain himself without draining the earth, live without killing animals, and literally form a new kind of physical structure connected to the earth, while not depleting its substance.

Now, the image of the god was to be put into the earth, flat upon it. And by the pressure of the ivory image upon the earth, the months were also told and it sank into the ground, little by little. [...]

Now these eyes were actually means of telling not only the time but also the circumference of the earth. [...]

In your terms the earth at any given time represents the most exquisite physical, spiritual, and psychic cooperation, in which all consciousnesses are related and contribute to the overall reality. [...]

[...] Put simply, the stuff of the body is constantly returned to the earth,* where it forms again into physical actualization — but always differently.

There is indeed a communication existing that joins all of nature, an inner webwork, so that each part of the earth knows what its other parts are doing. [...]

[...] The energy within the grass sinks into the earth, and in your terms is again reborn. [...]

the sweet smell of earth

[...] As the physical properties of the earth distribute themselves in a certain given fashion about the surface of the planet, so do the properties of the earth-tuned psyches distribute themselves. [...]

[...] Yet through all of these changes the earth retains a landscape, and at any given time the features of the land are quite dependable and permanent enough for your purposes.

[...] Each blade of grass helps form the life of the earth. [...]

“… the inner senses of the tree have a strong affinity with the properties of the earth itself. [...]

[...] It is quite true to say that their reality consists not only of the core of their own identity, but also is reinforced by those projected thoughts and feelings of the earthly audience for whom the drama is enacted.

[...] Obviously, then, beyond these earthly historic religious dramas, the seemingly recurring tales of gods and men, there are spiritual realities.

[...] (Jane paused, a hand to her eyes.) He created them in so far as he found himself forced to admit certain facts: In that world at that time, earthly power was needed to hold Christian ideas apart from numberless other theories and religions, to maintain them in the middle of warring factions. [...]

[...] The earthly personalities were not aware of them, although in periods of trance and exaltation much was made known to them.

[...] Now I have been speaking of earthly developments, realities therefore clustered about earthly aspects as you know them.
