“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Perhaps this symbolizes music. [...]

[...] The connection, Jane believes, while far-out, was an attempt to get at Marilyn studying music. [...]

[...] Music is not better than the visual arts, for example. A sculpture cannot be compared with a musical note. [...]

(“Music or Muzak.” Music is involved in Jane’s job at the JCC. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Music or Muzak. [...]

[...] Seth’s material had reminded Jane that several times in the past she’d had the experience of hearing music when none was to be heard—that is, no radios were playing within range, etc. Jane has very acute hearing, but was still sure the music came from within. [...]

Ruburt’s forgotten-till-now experience with music was legitimate. [...]

(Loud rock music was playing in the apartments above and below us as we sat for the session in our living room. [...]

(Art O.: “Is that life the reason why I like African music now?”)

[...] The other reason has to do with another life in which you were musically inclined.

[...] On the other hand, it was also triggered by Ruburt’s suggestions, when he playfully (musically almost) imagined himself telling you of significant improvements, without wondering what they would be. [...]

(“Soothing music perhaps.” Jane said this is a distortion of the massage data above, massage and music both being soothing.

Soothing music perhaps. [...]

[...] We listened to music. [...]

Now, there is no need for a musical accompaniment to this session.

[...] He died as a young child upon one occasion, a girl with musical abilities. [...]

[...] The musical ability was picked up again in the 16th century in England, where we find him as a minor composer for organ, where he used the scribe’s ability as well.

(While this sensation was developing, I heard many scattered indefinite sounds, music and voices, and had some exceedingly brief flashes of people in various postures, all too vague to identify.

[...] 7/15, 8:15 PM: A few results; vague sounds of music and voices.

In one life the first girl was a niece with a love of music and excellent musical abilities. [...]

Ruburt will be more and more familiar with easeful motions as his body tastes its growing freedom, and (musically) safety. [...]

There are, of course, close relationships concerning this delivery of Seth’s for the 740th session, the material in this note, and the musical analogies Seth presented in the 735th session, when he discoursed upon the inaudible variations inherent in the compositions played by the young classical guitarist who’d visited us over the weekend of February 2. (I’ve been saving this reference for this particular note.) At 9:45, for instance, in that 735th session: “An infinite number of other ‘alternate’ compositions were also latent within the [first] note, however … They were quite as legitimate as the compositions that were played … and … added silent structure and pacing to the physically actualized music.”

For the same session Seth also offered evocative analogies involving heard and unheard musical compositions on the one hand, and counterpart, probable, and reincarnational selves on the other.

[...] Is it American to be a homosexual and love poetry or dancing or music or children? Is it a cliché to think that all homosexuals are sensitive and love music, and children? [...]

[...] Let alone the bulk of Jane’s other work: her poetry, novels both published and unpublished, her other published books, an unfinished autobiography, the records of her ESP class sessions, her journals and paintings, her singing in musical trance language, Sumari, her never-ending correspondence. [...]

[...] Music can be extremely beneficial. [...]

[...] And loud noises that are music. [...]

[...] The music, the chants, are richly endowed with what you might call for now racial memory, striking psychic as well as biological chords, and thereby releasing certain inner mechanisms and memories.

[...] She went on to develop an analogy involving two lines of music that eventually come together into one melody.⁵

5. Jane used an imaginary musical analogy in describing her sleep-state experience with “mental earphones” — but here are two psychic events of hers that can serve as real-life analogies: 1. Her reception 10 months ago, while asleep, of multidimensional data from Seth, which she followed the next day with her own material on neurological pulses; see Appendix 4 in Volume 1. 2. Her hearing Seth’s thunderous voice in her sleep two months ago, as described in the opening notes for the 710th session.
