“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Most such instances historically have involved males, who claim to have the powers of clairvoyance, prophecy, and omnipotence. [...]

[...] They play at being historic known characters. [...]

[...] In your historical times, no civilization has been based upon the precepts I have given you. [...]

(The questions I referred to concern the fact that once in The Seth Material and nine times in Seth Speaks, by my count, Seth spoke of Atlantis as being in our historical past. [...] At any given “time,” depending on whatever information he’s given previously, Jane could just as easily quote Seth as placing Atlantis in our historic past, or in a probable past, present, or future — or all four “places” at once, for that matter. [...]

(After this evening’s session, however, we decided we’d like to know why in Seth’s view Atlantis had moved from its long, if uneasy residence in our “historical past” forward into a future probable reality. [...]

[...] It wants to see inner knowledge projected outward onto the physical reality then, to some extent, it will accept it and so through the eons that you know this inner knowledge, this inner vitality is projected outward onto history and onto historical events as you understand them. [...]

Now certain individuals, certain historical events, seem suddenly struck with inner brilliance. [...]

[...] They are recognized at once on the historical scene. [...]

I am speaking in your historical terms because before the historical system that you recognize, man had indeed experimented with these other directions, and with some success. [...]

(Pause at 9:16.) There are cycles in which consciousness forms earthly experience, and maps out historical sequences. [...]

Knowledge is usually passed down through the ages in your reality, through books and historic writings, yet each individual contains within himself or herself a vast repository: direct knowledge of the past, in your terms, through unconscious comprehension.

These counterparts are psychic relationships, formations that in the deepest terms flow into historic time and out of it. [...]

[...] 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.

[...] These dreams actually bring about the resulting change that will then happen in a historic manner. [...]

[...] Those are the ideas you are combating—not simply Freudian or Darwinian concepts from your lifetimes, but the accumulated misinformation from that historic past. [...]

[...] No single historic past could explain what you are now as an individual or as a member of a species. [...]

[...] At least in some historic periods, people kept their teeth longer, knowing that nothing could be done to repair the damage. [...]

New sentence: In your historical past, when man identified his identity with the soul, he actually gave himself greater leeway in terms of psychological mobility, but eventually the concept of the soul as held resulted in a distrust of the intellect. [...] Part of man’s latest over-identification with the intellect is, of course, an overreaction to those past historical events. [...]

(12:19.) “Some of the experiments with man-animals didn’t work out along our historic lines, but the ghost memories of those probabilities still linger in our biological structure, and in our terms can be activated according to circumstances.

[...] Each of you have been members of different races, and so each of you have shared in both the advantages and ignominies attached, in historic terms, to such conditions of birth.

[...] All of this is further complicated by the purposes and intents of the generations in any historical period, and the reincarnational influences.

[...] There are different historical periods, in your terms, where the species has showed what it can do—and what is possible in certain specific directions when the genetic and reincarnational triggers are touched and opened full blast, so that certain characteristics appear in their clearest, most spectacular light, to serve as individual models and as models for the species as a whole.

[...] (Humorously:) I’ll have a hell of a time with my list of chronological lives (which I have yet to work on, by the way) if I start turning up a whole group of them in one historical period. [...]

[...] So you work out your problems and challenges in whatever way you choose, historically. [...]

For those who may wonder: I’ll close here by noting that historically the time period within which my impressions took place would embrace the reputed visits of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem during Pilate’s tenure, including Christ’s crucifixion around A.D. 30 — but that my experience per se had nothing to do with the Messiah.

So you look back through the historical past. [...]

[...] “Seth’s going into historical probabilities in the next session,” she said. [...]

12. A note added later: I’m sorry to write that Seth didn’t discuss historical probabilities in the 736th session, or national counterparts either. [...]

[...] Sue Watkins, a member of Jane’s ESP class and our personal friend, has been very helpful; she has loaned me books on the period so that I could be sure of historical references.

[...] Historically they are thought of as a peaceful group.)

[...] (long pause).... that the tale of Israel, with all of its wars and so forth, and its historical and biblical past, represents some ancient brilliant knowledge that man once had, of the self being so diverse as to behave as a nation of a million individuals, each looking for their homeland.
