“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do not want to go into long explanations about tonight’s earlier material. [...]

[...] In Jane’s final class, Rob read Seth’s explanation having to do with family ‘mergings.’ Right away, right there in class, I knew what was behind the feeling I’d had about this family: Members of the Grunaargh, and I personally, were involved in the invention of movable type. [...]

[...] But later, after thinking it over, she said it could be the reason or motivating force behind her own explanation.

(“Does this explanation apply to places also?”)

(Quietly amused:) Now, with that simple explanation, when you know your brothers will visit, you instantly leap to the old beliefs of childhood, when your mother wanted you to set an example—which meant be someone in society, in normal middle-class society, now. [...]

The man of letters is not understood either, and you feel that your brothers cannot understand what you do, since their minds seem relatively closed —relatively closed—to the books themselves, which would automatically offer an explanation. [...]

[...] Now, does that explanation clear up the matter for you?

[...] Again, the material is indeed dealing with a far more valid explanation for the working ways of reality than the old official beliefs — and again, we are not just (underlined) dealing with evocative, creative hypotheses.

Later, for the book, I will use this sort of explanation to show for example how various groups of people, planning say a vacation to one spot, will all choose two or three airplanes for the journey—knowing unconsciously quite well that one very well might crash, even though the final decision is not made until the last moment.

I am sometimes at a loss for words, believe it or not, for often explanations make things sound more difficult than they are. [...]

The boxcar elements, beside the explanation already given, also represented the body as a vehicle, moving easily and swiftly. [...]

I am using terms of continuity now simply for explanation. [...]

[...] I don’t believe that there can be any single answer or blanket explanation, but we have had two readings involving such children, and I can give you the explanations offered in these specific instances.

[...] Its cause is unknown, and there is no reason to go into my explanation here. [...]

[...] I mean it kindly, you have no idea of the difficulties involved in explaining time to someone who must take time to try and understand the explanation.

[...] On the other hand the effort to communicate explanations does involve very real effort on my part. [...]

[...] If I sound ponderous it is only because these necessary explanations cannot be given to you in a playful manner. [...]

[...] For explanations of this subjective experience see earlier sessions: 411, 412, 413, 419, etc. [...]

[...] But an explanation will have to wait until you understand more clearly the nature of electrical reality itself.

This verbal description must necessarily distort the true picture, because the true events completely escape your vocabulary, but the explanation is valid-enough to give you some idea of what I mean. [...]

[...] Since in all of these experiments Seth was helping us through actual suggestions and explanations as to how we perceive such information, I simply couldn’t minimize his importance just to get the ESP book published. [...]

[...] While I used that explanation as a handy whipping boy at times, I didn’t really believe that either: my subconscious was getting enough expression in my short stories and poetry—and without adopting other personality characteristics. [...]

[...] This is rather important, since an explanation will do much to account for the frequent difference that occurs in telepathic communications.

[...] (Long pause.) The Sinful Self’s explanation represents a fascinating psychological document in that regard, and also shows the self’s mobility and willingness to learn and change—once the intent is made to take a stand (intently). [...]

[...] This is simplified, but basically an adequate explanation. [...]

Your explanation of a Nebene reaction would be so reasonable, later. [...]
