“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

4. This material reminds me of Seth in the 681st session in Volume 1: “The deeper explanations, however [in this case of probabilities], demand a further expansion of ideas of consciousness … It is not so much a matter of Ruburt’s vocabulary, incidentally, since even a specialized scientific one would only present these ideas in its own distorted fashion. [...]

[...] Jane and I have yet to ask him to elaborate upon it: “There is, incidentally, a Framework 3 and a Framework 4, in the terms of our discussion — but all such labels are, again, only for the sake of explanation. [...]

In these terms, and giving the simplest explanation since your friend is not well acquainted with our previous discussions, my last growing-up period occurred in Denmark, in the same approximate period as the one given previously for a previous life of your own, Joseph, and of Ruburt’s.

[...] Her explanation had sounded better than mine, and tallied closely with Seth’s presentation above. [...]

[...] For this reason I am continuing this chapter with excerpts from sessions 426, 427, and 428, where Seth began with a fuller explanation of space, time, and probable realities and then led us, step by step, into a discussion of God.

[...] The term consciousness, as I am here using it, may need some explanation, although you should by now understand my meaning.

[...] I am trying to keep this explanation simple, since the term “at a time” is somewhat misleading.

[...] And Seth’s explanation of the moment point¹¹ encompasses the seeming paradox through which consecutive time can be allowed expression within simultaneous time.

Again, we run into difficulties in explanation simply because there are few verbal equivalents for what I am trying to say.¹³

[...] The mind can ask too many questions to be satisfied with mechanistic explanations, and nurturing that characteristic of dissatisfaction alone may be one of the most valuable contributions the Seth material can make.

The deeper explanations, however, demand a further expansion of ideas of consciousness, and a certain reorientation. [...]

I do not wish to become so involved that you literally screech at me for explanations. [...]

[...] Seth’s explanations in ESP class last night and in this evening’s session helped clear my mind considerably, though: According to him, consciousness has no difficulty in making such alliances while maintaining continuity of identity, though its vast abilities are certainly almost impossible for us to grasp.

[...] As their physical instruments become more sophisticated, they will be able to glimpse more of this reality, but since they will not be able to explain it within their known system of references, many curious and distorted explanations of reported phenomena will be given.

(Seth referred to this bewildering multiplicity very early in the sessions, and dealt with it rather extensively in the 12th session of January 2,1964, in his first explanation of what he calls the fifth dimension. [...]

[...] These questions, with Seth’s explanations, are the heart of Volume 1. Because “Unknown” Reality is organized along intuitive rather than consecutive lines, though, it’s difficult to provide a brief résumé. [...]

(“Well, assuming that my intuitions were reasonably accurate when I picked up on those two personalities,” I said, “there have to be explanations.”

[...] To our knowledge, this explanation is original with the Seth Material To say the least, the supposition that we actually create matter gives rise to all kinds of questions, and Rob and I have considered many of them at one time or another. [...]

[...] See the explanation re. [...]

[...] However the explanation will take nearly an hour, and is not what you think. [...]

(To Rob:) We will begin with an explanation of your experience last evening. [...]

[...] There are bleed-throughs, so to speak, in the form of unofficial perceptions that often occur, or “impossible” events that are seemingly beyond explanation. [...]
