“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I have said that the topmost part of the subconscious contains personal memories. That beneath these are racial memories and so forth. [...] But continuing with the necessary analogy, on the other side of (or beneath to you) the racial memories, you no longer exist within your plane, and look out upon another with the face of this other self-conscious part of you. [...]

[...] Since she has at times exhibited a faulty memory, and suffers from hypertension, Jane and I did not think much, for or against, Miss C’s inability to place Frank Watts. [...]

[...] You do share psychic memories, and hold in common the memories of other selves who did live in the time of your (fourth) Roman-soldier incident.

[...] When I checked the 724th session, I affirmed the reason for that reaction: Seth had stated therein that Peter and I were not counterparts, although “closely enough allied so that in certain terms you ‘share’ some of the same psychic memories….” [...]

“Those memories exist as patterns. [...]

[...] This would be quite an early memory for her. She had not made any conscious connection with this memory and the border data given in connection with the second test, however, until Seth mentioned it tonight.)

[...] He said Jane has an early memory of a border of flowers around a garden.

[...] Part Two depends on my memory and on Jane’s to some extent. [...]

When you arrive, or emerge, into physical life, not only is your mind not a blank slate, waiting for the scrolls that experience will write upon it, but you are already equipped with a memory bank far surpassing that of any computer. [...]

[...] Your personality as you now know it will indeed persevere, and with its memories, but it is only a part of your entire identity, even as your childhood in this life is an extremely important part of your present personality, though now you are far more than a child.

Now: This new kind of consciousness brought with it the open mirror of memory in which past joy and pain could be recalled, and so the realization of mortal death became more immediate than it was with the animals.

An association could trigger the clear memory of a past agony in the bewildered new mind. [...]

[...] Unless I summon the self that I was at that time, the memories for details are not that clear. [...]

(To group.) And all of you attend the classes of which you frequently remember your experiences, and I expect even more frequent memory on your part as time goes by. [...]

[...] If you do not want to remember a particular dream, you yourself censor the memory on levels quite close to consciousness. Often you can even catch yourself in the act of purposely dropping the memory of a dream. [...]

[...] She has of course had contacts with the book, aside from her own imperfect memory. [...]

[...] There are indeed various kinds of memory, so that the right information can be at your fingertips when you need it. [...] Physically speaking, there are chemical interactions when thought occurs, and memories ride on the chemicals’ smooth flow. [...]

(The dream suggests numerous subjects that Seth didn’t go into, and that I’ll leave for the reader to consider: reincarnation, the shifting of ages and the independence of memory from time in the dream state, and so forth. I do have a few clear conscious memories of Grandmother Butts; the last time I saw her she was ill, a few months before her death 52 years ago. [...]

[...] The consciousness as it reasserts itself within physical reality has no memory of the interval in which it did not physically exist. The inner self however retains all memory. [...]

A large variety of dreams are the memories of this nonphysical existence that constantly occurs, though in waking life you are seldom aware of them. [...]

(Right after the session began, Seth showed how Jane’s personal subconscious memories had, during the sitting with the Gallaghers, on August 20, distorted the material we received. [...] Seth mentioned that Jane’s own memories of the shredded-wheat incident should have told her what had happened. [...]

[...] What follows is my reconstruction from memory, made immediately after the session ended. [...]

[...] Also, tell yourself that you will be enriched immensely by a memory of the encounter and the journey, and use those words.

[...] In the morning I was vexed to realize I had a memory of an experience involving Seth, but it was such that I couldn’t recall enough consciously to make notes.)

Now: you know generally how associations work in your own mind, seemingly bringing memories or images to you out of context—that is, not following the usual patterns of time or cause and effect.

You know also that your own previous memories in this life are all available to you at other than conscious levels. [...]

All That Is, in your terms, retains memory of that state, and it serves as a constant impetus toward renewed creativity.

Each self, as a part of All That Is, therefore also retains memory of that state. [...]

[...] Today when Seth mentioned it she hadn’t seem distressed, though, so perhaps that memory can be put to good constructive use by us now.)

[...] Jane remembered the name of the retired newspaperman who’d written about us in his history of Chemung County — “Burs.”And this triggered my own memory: Tom Byrne.

The odor experience becomes a part of memory and can be recalled through hypnosis. Sometimes it will arise spontaneously, as any memory may. [...]

[...] The memory of the odors is imprinted and registered by the physical body as faithfully and realistically as any—quote—“real”—end of quote—odor is in the waking state.

[...] If it is recorded and registered by the physical organism it becomes a part of, and an equal part of, memory. [...]

[...] You merely block out the memory from the normal waking ego. [...]

(Jane said my asking questions helped her a good deal in recalling details, whereas she thought she had no memory of any detail. [...]

[...] I had no memory of actually leaving my body and moving into the bathroom.

If you are presently experiencing a life in which you have chosen high emphasis upon physical locomotion, for example, then through vague dream memories of flying you can be inspired toward, say, the invention of airplanes or rockets; but if you actually understand the fact that your own consciousness can indeed travel outside of the body, then the impetus toward physical developments in locomotion is not nearly so intense.
