“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“It is a gift, a boon, an exquisite pleasure, to become physically alive on your functioning planet, couched securely within your dusk and dawn, your existence supported by the seasons and by an overall operation of spontaneous order.”

[...] They need to rise up like new planets into your own consciousness, and you need to treat them gently and not give them labels or names. [...]

[...] While you think, “I am man, a member of a certain species, inhabiting a planet named Earth in this space and in this time,” then you place artificial barriers between you and your perceptions. [...]

[...] The universe that you seem to perceive, either visually or through instruments, appears to be composed of galaxies, stars, and planets, at various distances from you. [...] This does not mean that you cannot travel to other planets, for example, within that physical universe, any more than it means that you cannot use tables to hold books, glasses, and oranges (as our coffee table did at that moment), although the table has no solid qualities of its own.

[...] You face your first day upon the planet with skills and abilities already built in, though they may or may not be used; and they are not merely the result of heredity as you think of it.

NIRVANA, RIGHT IS MIGHT,
ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS, AND THE
HUMAN BODY AS A PLANET WORTH SAVING

We will continue dictation, starting a new chapter, to be called: “Nirvana, Right is Might, Onward Christian Soldiers, and the Human Body as a Planet Worth Saving.”

[...] The sky vaults above the entire planet. [...]

[...] In order to endure, the planet itself must be involved in constant change and instability. [...]

I also think Seth’s passages in this (826th) session bear upon his remarks in Session 821, concerning man’s “true identification with nature,” his “place in the context of his physical planet.”

[...] The oceans rise and fall also, and in some cases the floor of the ocean becomes the surface of the planet, only to be covered again by water. [...]

[...] As the physical properties of the earth distribute themselves in a certain given fashion about the surface of the planet, so do the properties of the earth-tuned psyches distribute themselves. [...]

[...] In such a way, one part of the body knows what is happening in every other part, and the body as a whole knows its precise position on the surface of the planet. [...]

[...] Natives divorced from your technology do very well, as wild animals also do, in probing the life of the planet and their positions within it.

[...] A plane—and I am using your term, I will try to think of a better one—is not necessarily a planet. A plane may be one planet, but a plane may also exist where no planet is. One planet may have several planes. [...]

What they do is take quick glimpses of your plane—and hold in mind that the saucer or cigar shape seen on your planet is a bastard form having little relation to the structure as it is at home base. [...]

Planets have been used as planes and used again as other planes. [...]

[...] In those terms (pause), your world’s reality stretches back far further than you imagine, and in those terms—you need the qualifications—your ancestors have visited other stars, as your planet has been visited by others. [...]

[...] There is a rhythm, again, to all existence, and so in your terms your species returned to its home planet, to renew its roots, refresh its natural stock, to return to nature, to find solace again amid the sweet ancient heritage of dusk and dawn.

The planet has seen many changes. [...]

(9:42.) Give us a moment … Without an identification with the land, the planet and the seasons, all of your technology will not help you understand the earth, or even use it effectively, much less fully. [...]

[...] There have indeed been civilizations upon your planet³ that understood as well as you, and without your kind of technology, the workings of the planets, the positioning of stars — people who even foresaw “later” global changes. [...]

[...] The author explains the various theories for the origin of our observable universe of planets, galaxies, quasars, and so forth, presenting the evidence for and against each theory. [...]

From the 715th session in Section 4 of Volume 2: “There are civilizations of the psyche, and only by learning about these will you discover the truth about the ‘lost’ civilizations of your planet — for each such physical culture coincided with and emerged from a corresponding portion of the psyche that you even now possess.”

[...] I saw the last few minutes of the program: At a large open-air site, a medium, evidently speaking for “a great council” sitting on one of the outer planets like Saturn or Uranus, was delivering a ringing, generalized message to us earthlings. [...]

A scientist who would threaten the very survival of life on the planet in order to increase life’s conveniences (underlined) is, however, truly displaying ludicrous behavior (with irony).

[...] I think that each person at that gathering shown on television was looking for news about man’s origin and nature—even if, in our opinions, it’s too simplistic to postulate the existence of a great council on one of the far planets of our solar system. [...]

[...] There is not just one dimension in which nonphysical consciousness resides, any more than there is only one country on your planet or planet within your solar system.

[...] Molecules would appear as large as planets to these units. Atoms and molecules and planets and these electromagnetic energy units are simply different manifestations of the same principles that bring the units themselves into being. [...]

[...] Now the seasons come each year as they have come for centuries upon your planet—and they come with a magnificent spontaneity and with a creativity that bursts upon the world. [...]

[...] That is, it’s a result of the good things that we do that we maintain—that we create and maintain this fantastic planet that we get our sustenance and food from—and everything else. [...]

[...] And if the image were projected against a midnight sky, within its apparent boundaries then you would see a multitude of planets and stars. [...]

[...] In our analogy, the projected image would seem to float, including ever-different stars and planets within its boundaries. [...]

[...] It includes other interweaving physical relationships that bind you with all others upon your planet at the same adjacent level of time. That is, to some extent or another you are related to all of those alive upon the planet. [...]

[...] It would become highly important again, however, when the planet was populated extensively, as it is now — only the original feeling of home area has to be extended over the face of the earth. [...]

[...] Animals, without such designations, still know their position on the planet itself, and they are aware of the tides and the movement of the earth and planets.

[...] Because I have left your planet doesn’t mean that I must be somber and speak in somber tones. [...]

[...] I am more alive than many who walk the face of your planet now. [...]

For if you listen inwardly, you can hear the first words spoken upon your planet. [...] You can hear the first breath and the last breath that will be breathed in your terms upon this planet. [...]

As they sit thus comfortably ensconced (leaning forward with a smile), they observe dramas in which planets explode, and otherworld intelligences rise to challenge or to help the dauntless captain of the good ship Enterprise and the fearless “Spock” — but none of this threatens our friends, Ruburt and Joseph. [...]

[...] Planets can explode on the television screen, and Ruburt will not spill one drop of coffee. [...]

[...] And we will see how this applies to your attitudes toward specieshood, and man’s relationship with other conscious entities and the planet he shares with them.

(9:45.) Instead, you have an inner dimension of activity, a vast field of multidimensional creativity, a Creator that becomes a portion of each of its creations, and yet a Creator that is greater than the sum of its parts: a Creator that can know itself as a mouse in a field, or as the field, or as the continent upon which the field rests, or as the planet that holds the continent, or as the universe that holds the world—a force that is whole yet divisible, that is one and the inconceivably many, a force that is eternal and mortal at once, a force that plunges headlong into its own creativity, forming the seasons and experiencing them as well, glorifying in individuation, and yet always aware of the great unity that is within and behind and through all experiences of individuality: a force from [which] each moment’s pasts and futures flow out in every conceivable direction.

[...] Man explored the planet because his dreams told him that the land was there.
