“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The personality itself therefore, as a mental action, is responsible for the point or midplane, for without the personality or mental act, this particular reference point or midplane would have no meaning.

The father is mainly finished with the physical field. He is on what you may call a midplane of existence. Personalities in such transition are thereby allowed to acclimate themselves in a period of neutrality and relative passivity.

At this point of course the self moves beyond or through the particular midplane involved. The term itself merely applies to a reference point duration that has meaning only in so far as it is related to a specific personality that is in a transitional frame between dimensional actualities.

I’ll go along with your little joke about Malba Toast of the Midplane. Malba of the Midplane was your apt description. [Rob had made a remark to this effect earlier.] The midplane is indeed an excellent description of the semi-plane which she now inhabits. [...]

The midplane contains a conglomeration of fragments … who have not attained sufficient knowledge or manipulability to progress further at this point. [...]

[...] Now there is an in-between stage of relative indecision, a midplane of existence; a rest area, comparatively speaking, and it is from this area that most communication from relatives occurs. [...]

The midplane is indeed an excellent description of the semiplane which she now inhabits. [...] The midplane or semiplane contains a conglomeration of fragments at all stages of development, except that they have not attained sufficient knowledge or manipulability to progress further at this point.

[...] She said that she died in South Dakota in 1946, at the age of 46, and that presently she inhabited a “midplane.” She said that she knew Seth, who was however on a higher plane, and that he would explain the term midplane to us. [...]

(The term midplane is nearest she could come to a translation, they don’t use words on her plane. [...]

(Jane’s maternal grandmother is on a midplane—at least one, and perhaps more, lives to come yet. [...] Later: we believe Bill’s mother is the one on the midplane.)

[...] However at 8:55 Jane got flashes from Seth that perhaps Seth was educating other personalities on midplanes to contact personalities on our plane.

[...] In other methods than my own this transference takes place at a later time, usually on a midplane after the death of the personality on your plane.
