“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In those terms each living person has other counterparts of himself or herself alive, generally speaking, at the same time, sharing the physical face of the earth. There are psychic pools of identity, therefore; and generally speaking those alive in any given century are as much a part of that inner pool as they are a part of the particular race to which they may belong. Each member of the species is an individual, and each member of a psychic pool of identity is an individual.

(Intently:) As certain races possess their own characteristics and shared biological background, and come from the same biological pool, however, so these counterparts come from the same psychic pool, and physically seed the members of the races at any given “time.” In such a way mental abilities and propensities are given a greater range, and distributed about the earth.

[...] Next it flows into our probable (physical) reality (which itself changes all the ‘time.’) We inherently possess separate pockets or pools of experience (biologically valid among the cells’ characteristics), sidepools where information collects for processing before flowing into the ‘official pool of consciousness.’

“Using these side pockets or pools where data are still unprocessed, in our terms, you can pick up several other strands of your own consciousness ‘at once,’ though retention may be difficult. [...]

[...] come together in my body better and felt small secret places within my body for which I have no names, relax, open, pools in the back of the ears ripple and relax. [...]

[...] There is a pooling of energy in such cases, and in such a pooling of energy telepathic communications are facilitated; for the many selves present, in pooling their energy, extend themselves.

In good circumstances Ruburt then dips into this energy pool, which obviously must contain certain elements of personal experience on the part of the participators. [...]

[...] There is, however, a pooling of inner knowledge that is highly helpful to all of you. I do not expect you to drown in that pool, for I have taught you how to swim, you see. [...]

[...] Once head felt very full on that side, then the moisture felt as if it were flowing downward; pooling in ear maybe, then down neck—all right side; then as I continue to write and try not to concentrate on all this—a feeling in right leg below knee of blockage for a moment; uncomfortable; I massage it just for a minute; the feeling of moisture then goes into right foot. [...]

(In the first one, after lying quietly for some time, and approaching the necessary state [close to sleep yet not asleep, but unaware of my body lying on the bed], I saw myself; I was at a public swimming pool in the summertime, although I saw no one else. [...]

(Beyond my figure I saw the typical blue-green opaque water of the tiled swimming pool, and some shining pipe work, evidently a fence or ladder. [...]

[...] Upon awakening I thought of the Sayre swimming pool, but as far as I know the two settings would not be the same.

[...] She was most uncomfortable sitting in the pool of moisture yesterday, and couldn’t keep that up since she spends so much time sitting—to begin with. [...]

[...] On the other hand, within these other systems there is a strong innovative group consciousness developing, in which identity is retained but greater inner play allowed between individuals, a large creative interchange of symbol-pools, a drawing upon mental and psychic symbols with greater facility. [...]

[...] It is the fountainhead or pool in which reservoirs of energy are held in reserve, pulled between the more interior self and the outer self. [...]

[...] As one dream is like a stone thrown into the pool of dream consciousness, so any act appears in this pool also in its own guise. [...]

[...] Now she told me how earlier today she’d imagined herself visiting Enfield Glen.^* She said she did very well thinking of herself walking and climbing around the park and the pool — but then she ended up blue, thinking of all she had to go through yet before she could do those things. [...]

4. In Appendix 4 for Session 685, Jane wrote of her attempts while in the dream state to sort out multidimensional, probable data of her own, and of how they collected for processing in sidepools of experience “before flowing into the ‘official pool of consciousness.’” Then, she added a bit later, through bypassing direct neurological activity, and using the “side pockets or pools where data are still unprocessed … you can pick up several other strands of consciousness ‘at once,’ though retention may be difficult.”

The various, numberless individual human abilities are part of your, say, gene pool as a species, so the drive to creatively use individual abilities is a spiritual and biological necessity. [...]

[...] Any health difficulties will flow into the pool of your beliefs—but the body is not meant to be more than the reflection and materialization of your inner reality as it appears in space and time. [...]

[...] I looked over and down at a pool, and felt that beyond this either the ocean or a large body of water was visible. [...] I had an impression of Peg sitting by the pool, with Bill in it.

[...] Perhaps some connection with a pond or pool shape. [...]

(“Perhaps some connection with a pond or pool shape.” [...]

It can only accept certain kinds of help, and the help in one way or another must be initiated at least from its own pool of energy, and its own bank of personality gestalts.

It will manipulate those memories in its own way, and alter them, and add to the pool of energy from which it has emerged. [...]

[...] There are gaps in your awareness that are actually filled with data, and Ruburt was letting these pool up, so to speak. [...]

For many reasons at various periods in your time there has been particular work to be done requiring numbers, a broad stratum, a physical pool, that would serve as a basis for future generations. [...]

[...] Abnormalities of any kind in birth always represent probable versions of the species itself — and they are kept in the gene pool to provide a never-ending bank of alternates.
