“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

([Joel:] “I guess in the beginning Jane and Rob were a little ambivalent as to whether they wanted to go and check the Frank Withers thing, and we have not made any attempt to check the stuff that Bill gave the first time—That I, in the ‘40s and having been a lawyer and went to Northwestern law school, practiced law in the Loop, that kind of thing. [...]

Raindrop patterns in a puddle follow certain laws having to do with the contours of the land, the weather, the nature of the rain, of the clouds, the height from which the raindrops fall, and the conditions operating in the nearby and far portions of the world. [...]

[...] Objects, however, follow certain laws of a physical nature as you experience them, just as violets on the ground do not suddenly change into rocks.

[...] I am simply an intelligent personality no longer bound by your physical laws. Nevertheless these are limitations, when I must accept these physical laws in order to prove to pompous nincompoops that what we, you and I, know exist does in fact exist.

[...] I had written to Dr. Instream on June 1,1965 and sent him sessions 138, 141, 142, 149, 153 and 154, plus lists of the inner senses and the basic laws of the inner universe as defined by Seth. [...]

(In our reality, the first law of thermodynamics tells us that energy [matter] can be changed from one form to another but that it can’t be created or destroyed. [...]

(At the same time, Jane and I read these days that physicists are beginning to question the immutability of such rigid “laws” as those applying to thermodynamics, causality, etc., saying that they are either in error after all or need to be modified….

You will simply be learning to operate in a new environment in which different laws apply, and the laws are far less limiting than the physical ones with which you now operate. [...]

[...] You can call that a scientific law if you prefer. [...]

The laws of evolution were self-limiting laws in one respect, but involve a necessary discipline in formation. [...]

The patterns evolve according to certain laws. [...]

In a manner of speaking, thermal qualities are involved, and also laws of attraction and repulsion. [...]

They are electromagnetic, in your terms, following their own patterns of positive and negative charge, and following also certain laws of magnetism. [...]

[...] Venice said that her sister-in-law’s name was Martha. [...]

[...] Florence said that her sister-in-law’s name was Martha. [...]

The sessions imply contact with an emotional and psychological existence that has its reality outside of your physical laws. [...]

[...] In the course of conversation, my father-in-law told us that on July 3, from his window, he had watched a near-accident involving a motorcycle. [...]

[...] Here, however, I think the precognitive event was actually the discussion with my father-in-law, rather than the incident itself.

[...] No one we knew even owned a cycle, and neither my father-in-law or myself had the slightest idea who the driver was. [...]

[...] She had a particularly knotty problem and she wanted me to try to contact her deceased mother-in-law. The student had been to only a few classes, and her mother-in-law lived and died in Florida. [...]

[...] My student was convinced that her mother-in-law had expressed herself through me, because I used her gestures and her language—including some pet phrases that were pretty purple.

[...] Besides the mother-in-law episode, there had been a few other upsetting ones involving emotional situations I’d “picked up” from living people. [...]

[...] Now as these wires pass seemingly from plane to plane they actually form the boundaries of each plane and become subject to the particular laws of the plane. [...] And they become subject to other laws, if not laws of time, on other planes.

[...] As your paintings are solidified feeling on board or paper, apparent in the physical universe and therefore vulnerable to the laws of that universe, so is the universe itself on your plane physical materialized feeling, only with more dimension than a drawing or a painting. [...]

[...] Overall the phenomena follows quite natural psychic laws. [...]

Seth maintains that the dream universe has its own basic laws or “root assumptions” — mental equivalents to our laws of gravity, space and time. In other worlds, dream reality only seems discordant or meaningless because we judge it according to physical laws rather than by the rules that apply within it.

[...] Established science is quite certain that no energy can now be created or destroyed, but only transformed (as stated in the first law of thermodynamics). Science sees energy and matter as being basically the same thing, appearing differently under varying circumstances.

Insertions I make in parentheses and italics, like “(as stated in the first law of thermodynamics),” are meant to be informative and obviously aren’t from Seth.

A new product that has been hard to come by, and laws have held it back. [...]

Most such people expect a period of chaotic time, in which all laws are broken down. [...]
