“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Present actions can change future events that would otherwise occur. But when this is admitted, then we must admit also that present events can alter the past, for there is no element in the past that has a different structure or composition or characteristic, that is not present in the future.

[...] He can give this information about this event to his own image as it existed in time before the contact was made. [...]

[...] The year for example 1943 was simply an artificial collection of events loosely agreed upon. [...]

A schedule of events. [...]

[...] As for myself, I’ve progressed to working with Session 860 [for June 13, 1979], which bridges chapters 8 and 9 in Mass Events.

[...] [She also relayed to me Seth’s comments about an article on bird migration that I read to her while we were having lunch, but I lost those too.] Jane called me early for the session—at 8:20, while I was still busy with Mass Events. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The species cares for itself in the event of any possible circumstance, so that the genetic messages also carry an endless number of triggers that will change genetic combinations if this becomes necessary.

[...] That is, no genetic event is inevitable.

You need not experience those past dream events, although if you just turn your attention in that direction then the dream’s past will become apparent. [...] The past and future ripple outward from any event, making it “thicker” than it appears to be.

[...] It seems, therefore, quite inconceivable that in certain terms any present event can bring about a memory of a similar event that occurred before, while instead each actually occurs at once.

[...] In your system of reality this does not seem to be the case at all, since your senses project a forward kind of motion outward upon events. [...]

Give us a moment … In the dream state, the freedom of events from time as you understand it can be more apparent. [...]

[...] Often these spring to the surface through events that may seem bizarre. [...] You often structure your life according to that exterior pattern of events. [...] That inner world is your only real connection with the exterior events, and the objective details make sense only because of the subjectivity that gave them birth.⁶

This does not mean that an alienation results in those realities — simply a relationship in which the body and consciousness relate to other events. [...] In that period, however, at an inner order of events, you are highly active and do much of the interior mental work that will later appear as physical experience.

[...] Any event of any kind that does not directly, immaculately intersect with your space-time continuum, does not happen, in your terms, but falls away. [...]

In the same way, when you look at the current state of the world, or at history, you often structure your perceptions so that only the topmost surfaces of events are seen. [...]

[...] Let me try to put that unhappy event in perspective now, in the continuing chronology of our lives as they’re enmeshed in the Seth material in general and in Mass Events in particular.

(The events of our lives kept on unfolding. [...]

[...] Even though he didn’t call this 840th session book dictation, we’re presenting part of it here because the material fits in so well with his themes for Mass Events.)

(After a long pause, Seth launched into a good bit of material that was outside of any related to his subject matter for Mass Events. [...]

[...] The world’s activities always include the insertion of surprising events. [...] The theories of both evolutionists and creationists strongly suggest and reinforce beliefs in the consecutive nature of time, and in a universe that begins in such-and-such a fashion, continuing on to such-and-such an end—but there are horizontal events that appear in the true activity of nature, and there are horizontal entry points and exit points in all experience. These allow for the insertion of unofficial new energy, the introduction of surprising events. [...]

[...] They yearn, often without recognizing it, for the remembered knowledge of early childhood, when it seems that they experienced for a time a dimension of experience in which the unexpected was taken for granted, when “magical events” occurred quite naturally. [...] Surprising events that were earlier covered up or ignored seem to appear with greater frequency, and everywhere a new sense of quickness and acceleration gradually alters the expectations of people in regard to the events of their own lives, and to the behavior they expect from others. [...]

[...] More and more remarkable events begin to occur, both in private and mass experience, in physical and mental behavior, in the events, say, of both stars and man.

[...] Before going into our chronology of personal events for those three months, however, I want to continue my brief study of the affairs—really the consciousnesses—involving Three Mile Island, Iran, and the war between Iran and Iraq. [...]

[...] I couldn’t say too much, considering my own panicky reaction when I shoveled snow yesterday, but I did remark that we’d slipped back into the old ways of dealing with events.

[...] Worrying about future events, or dwelling upon past unfavorable situations, only confuses the body’s mechanisms, and undermines their precise activity in the present moment.

[...] It is also true, however, that advantageous events occur with a far greater frequency than do negative ones — otherwise the world that you know simply would not exist. [...]

[...] Above all, do not concentrate upon past unfavorable events, or imagined future ones.

[...] You are quite capable of dealing with your life’s events, and with handling daily stress. [...]

[...] If one unpleasant event today automatically causes you to think of 20 more that might happen in the future and you dwell upon those, then you hopelessly confuse your body. [...]

[...] The lives and events of all those involved with his trip—the neighbors, the children, and so forth—all of those issues were arranged in Framework 2, so that while the events seemed most unpleasant, they were highly beneficial.

(9:40 in an intent delivery.) You must begin somewhere, so you state your purpose clearly in Framework 1. Then you have the faith that the event will be brought to pass.

[...] If he never learned of the plane crash, and did not have faith in the beneficial nature of events, then he might simply remember the entire affair as highly unpleasant, stupid, and even think that it was another example that he could do nothing right.

[...] Indeed, you do change your psychic organization, and hence attract the significant events you want. [...]

In a manner of speaking your experienced, practical reality is made up of events that seem entire to you, or relatively complete, while from my dimension it is apparent that your recognized events are simply portions of larger ones. I move naturally, then, in a realm of greater dimensionalized events.

In your terms I see not only greater chunks of time than you do, but I can to some considerable extent view the probable actualizations of events and times.

[...] Jane devoted Chapter 15 of Adventures to a discussion of the inner order of events and “unofficial” perceptions.

[...] Moreover, this event had taken place in the apartment house we lived in on Water Street; not in our own quarters there, however, but in the apartment of another tenant whom we’ve known for a number of years.

Events seem to happen to you. [...] Sometimes, however, your own dreams or inspirations startle you by giving you information that is usually not available in the recognized order of events. [...] You are so conditioned that even when you sleep you try to monitor your experiences, and to interpret dream events according to the habitual frequency that you have learned to accept as the only criterion of reality. [...]

[...] To make matters more confusing you may automatically try to interpret the dream events according to your usual picture of reality, and switch channels, so to speak, as you waken.

Remember, when you look at events, to classify as significant those improvements and events that are most favorable to your cause, and let other ones dwindle as far as your attention to them is concerned. [...]

[...] It is very important that in times of stress from the outside that you hold your own emotionally, and then you will be least affected by any events that seem (underlined) to be disadvantageous. [...]

The night and day constitute a framework within which your experience is couched, providing the conscious mind with needed stimuli and relaxation, and allowing for proper assimilation of events. [...]

As a rule you have enough difficulty dealing with the day’s occurrences, much less next week’s, and so in the sequence of events the reality of probable actions is usually hidden from your view. [...]

The next brief chapter will be devoted to methods that will allow you to take advantage of greater options, to bring into your daily experience events and experiences that have so far remained “latent.” [...]

All events are known in advance, but still there is a selectivity that is unknown. Dreams as you know have their own electric reality, their own psychic energy, and their effect upon physical events is extremely strong. [...]

(“A looming shape… literal or symbolic… as an unpleasant event could be seen to loom ahead.” Don Wilbur was faced with such an event on April 15. [...]

[...] Shared dreams present their own historic organization, for the shared memory of your race does not only include physical events, but reaches much further than this.

[...] This can be literal or symbolic, as an unpleasant event could be seen to loom ahead.

[...] According to the day, the situation, you may then want to work with the pendulum, considering some specific event or issue from that day—but this need not be a lengthy session at all. With your discussion, perhaps 10 minutes with the pendulum would be sufficient, The pendulum also can be used when any event occurs—again, when specifics apply.

[...] You did not work with the pendulum however regarding those specific events (since they all took place after our morning pendulum work). [...]

[...] The pendulum can best be used to deal with specific events, with specific attitudes. [...]

[...] Writing things down is excellent for Ruburt in particular, and so again on those days when no specifics events occur, to be included in his notes, then I want him to write down his feelings about 1: inspiration, 2: work, 3: “Unknown” Reality, 4: Psyche, 5: Emir. [...]

[...] The universe as you know it is your interpretation of events as they intrude upon your three-dimensional reality. The events are mental. [...]

When I enter your system, I move through a series of mental and psychic events. You would interpret these events as space and time, and so often I must use the terms, for I must use your language rather than my own.

[...] In one way, I translate what I am into an event that you can understand to some extent. [...]

[...] You accept as real only certain classifications of events and ignore others. We have mentioned events. [...] You choose one particular group of these, and latch upon this group of events as the only ones possible, not realizing that you have selected from an infinite variety of past events.

[...] You are presently focused not only in your physical body, but within a particular frequency of events that you interpret as time. [...]

[...] At other levels it enjoys playing with such concepts and perceiving great unity from events that occur outside of a time context — mixing, for example, events from various centuries, finding harmony and points of contact by examining both historical and private environments, plucking them out of the time framework.

[...] It is said that memory of past events drops back into the subconscious. [...]

[...] If the situation is not understood, then the personality may find it difficult to relate to physical events. [...]

[...] Events from any given layer of consciousness are reflected in all other areas, each being actualized according to the characteristics of the given layer. [...]

(7th Question: What kind of events? “Future events. Connected with past events.” [...]

Future events. Connected with past events.

[...] A schedule of events, and an accounting.

(“What kind of events?”)

[...] Therefore it perceives events in a peculiar manner, almost in slow motion, so that the whole effect is of a series of separate events, one happening before or after the other.

[...] Therefore the appearance of separate events trains the intellect. [...]

[...] A cluster of events he considers too many. [...]

[...] I believe a rather bizarre event will occur, regarding the Gallaghers, at approximately five o’clock during their vacation.
