“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[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. However, this is still not a mental-science plane. Therefore the camouflage paraphernalia appears, more or less visible, to your own astonishment. Now, so strong is this tendency for vitality to change from one apparent form to another, that what you have here in your flying object is something that is actually, as you view it, not of your plane or of [whatever] plane of its origin … The atoms and molecules that structurally compose the UFO, and which are themselves formed by vitality, are more or less aligned according to the pattern of its own territory. Now as the craft enters your plane a distortion occurs. 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.

(Seth hasn’t often talked about UFO’s — unidentified flying objects — in the sessions. He thinks they have various states of origin. Occasionally he’ll mention them in connection with another subject; as an example, see the two paragraphs about “saucers” and the pulsating nature of atoms and molecules in the ESP class session for January 12, 1971, in the Appendix of Seth Speaks.

The strange thing about your flying saucers is not that they appear, but that you can see them. As science advances on various planes the inhabitants learn to travel between planes occasionally, while carrying with them the [camouflage] manifestations of their home stations …

What he sees is something between a horse and a dog, that resembles neither. The flying saucer retains what it can of its original structure and changes what it must. This accounts for many of the conflicting reports as to shape, size, and color. The few times the craft shoots off at right angles, it has managed to retain functions ordinary to it in its particular habitat.

[...] When he finds himself in such physical circumstances then it is difficult for him to fly in the face of such “physical evidence.”

In any area, an attempt to alter an unfavorable circumstance will always find you, at one stage, flying in the face of all physical evidence to the contrary. [...]

He must project that same sense of freedom and understanding into the physical situation, and fly as freely in the face of that situation. [...]

Many birds in their fantastic migrations demonstrate an amazing optimism, traveling thousands of miles to distant shores, almost literally flying by faith, as it were, ignoring all dangers, unbeseiged by doubts. [...] They simply fly toward their destination. [...]

Monarch butterflies, in their remarkable migrations, often fly toward land that they have never seen themselves — and yet they reach their destination.

[...] “It feels like flying—like my fingers were to fly off.” [...]

[...] I took her cigarette and ashtray away before she knocked them flying with her rapidly moving hand. [...]

The flying saucer appearances come from a plane that is much more advanced in technological sciences than earth at this time. [...] Now, so strong is this tendency for vitality to change from one apparent form to another, that what you have here in your flying saucers is something that is actually, as you view it, not of your plane nor of the plane of its origin. [...] When the flying saucer as you prefer to call it starts out toward its destination, the atoms and molecules that structurally compose it, and which are themselves formed by vitality, are more or less aligned according to the pattern inflicted upon it in its own territory. [...]

[...] The time seemed to fly. [...] During this break I mentioned that I would like to ask Seth about flying saucers. [...]

I certainly do hesitate to go into your flying saucer question this evening.

[...] Note that I had also remarked at the end of the first break how the time seemed to fly, and commented upon the amount of material we were accumulating.)

(With emphasis:) In a matter of speaking (underlined), the birds and the insects are indeed living portions of the earth flying, even as, again in a matter of speaking (in parentheses) (with a smile and again with an emphasis upon the word “matter”), bears and wolves and cows and cats represent the earth turning itself into creatures that live upon its own surface. [...]

Man thinks as naturally as the birds fly. [...]

[...] Jane and I were both surprised at the amount of material delivered in forty-five minutes; the time seemed to fly. During break, I mentioned to Jane that I would like to ask Seth to say something about flying saucers. [...]

[...] It also includes a brief mention of flying saucers that I didn’t delete because of its obvious general interest. [...]

The strange thing, incidentally, about your flying saucers is not that they appear, but that you can see them. [...]

[...] … The flying saucer appearances come from a system much more advanced in technological sciences than yours. [...]

My thoughts go flying

and flying free past

(Pause at 9:30.) What about the poor unsuspecting fly? [...] (Whispering, and dryly:) For surely flies are the victims of such nefarious webby splendors. [...]

[...] (Louder:) It amazes the spiders that flies so kindly fall into those webs. [...]

[...] In a way impossible to explain, the fly and the spider are connected, and aware of the connection. [...]

[...] There was energy on both sides, but Seven was, and is, literally Ruburt’s inner self flying quite as the Seagull flies—for fun, freely, without having to answer questions, and without having to be brought down to specifics.

[...] Its readers will find more where its author found more, so the Seagull flies truly.

[...] Timothy Foote to fly here Friday, October 13, etc., to call back re plane schedules. [...]

fly into tomorrow’s skies,

(Student Bill Herriman is a professional pilot who flies a considerable distance to Elmira for class; his counterpart in class, Carl Jones, lives in Elmira each summer while giving instructions in sailplane flying, the third member of the counterpart trio, Bill Granger, is not a member of class, lives in Elmira, has always had a deep interest in aircraft, and is now learning to pilot sailplanes. [...]

[...] She was exploring the “world view” of a fly. [...]

(The letter from the Jungian psychologist evidently provided the immediate impetus for the fly episode and for Monday evening’s events, though. [...]

[...] The libido knows itself as God, and therefore all fractions fly out of the self-structure of its own reality.”

[...] End of dictation — though I will have something to say about Ruburt’s experience as a fly.

[...] It is very difficult to admit that you are in many ways more effective and creative in the sleep state than the waking state, and somewhat shattering to admit that the dream body can indeed fly, defying both time and space. It is much easier to pretend that all such experiences are symbolic and not literal, to evolve complicated psychological theories, for example, to explain flying dreams.

The simple fact is that when you dream you are flying, you often are. [...]

as the snowflakes fly

[...] Take the child home with as little delay as possible, for then will the banners (pause) fly in new formation—freer, easier, and closer to nature’s ways. [...]

[...] Now, I refused to go back out the window and down the wall, like a fly or an animal might. [...]

[...] It involved her flying, material about the world—newscasts—and her rediscovery of some beautiful objects, including a sofa, that may have been hers before. [...]

[...] My voice is turned up to show you once again that vitality and your search is not sorrowful and is not for repentance, but is a joyful—and ambitious—and lively thing—and that the energy within you flies through your own being as the birds fly though the sky. [...]

[...] It does you no good for me to come here and give you a symbolic pat on the back, and say, “My chickadees, fly away—you are doing well!”—not when you are not doing well. [...]
