“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do not believe you will have any saucer landings for quite awhile, not physical landings in the usual sense of the word. These vehicles cannot stay on your plane for any length of time at all. The pressures that push against the saucer itself are tremendous … The struggle to be one thing or another is very great on any plane. To conform to the laws of a particular plane is a practical necessity, and at this time the flying saucer craft simply cannot afford to stay betwixt and between for any indefinite period.

(Seth hasn’t often talked about UFO’s — unidentified flying objects — in the sessions. He thinks they have various states of origin. Occasionally he’ll mention them in connection with another subject; as an example, see the two paragraphs about “saucers” and the pulsating nature of atoms and molecules in the ESP class session for January 12, 1971, in the Appendix of Seth Speaks.

The strange thing about your flying saucers is not that they appear, but that you can see them. As science advances on various planes the inhabitants learn to travel between planes occasionally, while carrying with them the [camouflage] manifestations of their home stations …

[Many of] the flying saucer appearances come from [such] a plane, [one] that is much more advanced in technological sciences than earth at this time. However, this is still not a mental-science plane. Therefore the camouflage paraphernalia appears, more or less visible, to your own astonishment. Now, so strong is this tendency for vitality to change from one apparent form to another, that what you have here in your flying object is something that is actually, as you view it, not of your plane or of [whatever] plane of its origin … The atoms and molecules that structurally compose the UFO, and which are themselves formed by vitality, are more or less aligned according to the pattern of its own territory. Now as the craft enters your plane a distortion occurs. Its actual structure is caught in a dilemma of form … between transforming itself completely into earth’s particular camouflage pattern, and retaining its original pattern. The earthly viewer attempts to correlate what he sees with what he supposedly knows or imagines possible in the universe.

[...] To conform to the laws of a particular plane is a practical necessity, and at this time, the ‘saucers’ cannot afford to stay betwixt and between for any indefinite period.

[...] It also includes a brief mention of flying saucers that I didn’t delete because of its obvious general interest. [...]

[...] During break, I mentioned to Jane that I would like to ask Seth to say something about flying saucers. [...]

The strange thing, incidentally, about your flying saucers is not that they appear, but that you can see them. [...]

The flying saucer appearances come from a plane that is much more advanced in technological sciences than earth at this time. [...] Now, so strong is this tendency for vitality to change from one apparent form to another, that what you have here in your flying saucers is something that is actually, as you view it, not of your plane nor of the plane of its origin. [...] When the flying saucer as you prefer to call it starts out toward its destination, the atoms and molecules that structurally compose it, and which are themselves formed by vitality, are more or less aligned according to the pattern inflicted upon it in its own territory. [...]

[...] During this break I mentioned that I would like to ask Seth about flying saucers. [...]

I certainly do hesitate to go into your flying saucer question this evening.

[...] This was followed by a discussion of the data Seth introduced in last week’s class session, concerning the pulsating nature of atoms and molecules — and this in turn led to the consideration of possible origins for the so-called flying saucer phenomena.)

One small note: In some respects these pulsations represent what happens in some of your flying saucer incidents, for you do not have a vehicle such as the one you think you perceive. [...]

[...] That is why your flying saucers are so funny to me.

The inhabitants of the flying saucers are not of your own plane. [...]

[...] See the 16th session for Seth’s dissertation on flying saucers and their dilemma of form.

[...] A great danger at this particular time would be that an admission of the saucer’s existence would, strangely enough, serve to unite the far-left and far-right extremist groups in this country. [...] Nothing was said about the source of the saucers, their inhabitants, etc.

(Seth had some very interesting comments to make when the conversation turned to flying saucers, and the recent rash of reports on such craft in the newspapers. [...]

[...] How did the material you gave us on flying saucers come through? [...]

The flying saucer material came through with flying colors, and it is also helpful in understanding the problems involved in the transference and materialization of energy from one level to another.

[...] I suggest when you can that you reread the material on the inner senses, the fifth dimension and your precious flying saucers. [...]

—regarding published photos of your flying saucers, in parenthesis.)

(Now follows Jane’s impressions concerning a news photo of a drawing of flying saucers, which we had discussed recently. [...]

A connection with a blue saucer, with an event of 1965, winter, and with an event I believe occurring approximately 1947.

(“Blue saucer” rings no bells, or “winter,” or “an event I believe occurring approximately 1947.” [...]

[...] Perhaps the flying saucer people had located our plane in that fashion.

[...] We learned about the death of Otto’s daughter Mary, on a conscious level, this week when we bought a recent book by Otto on flying saucers, and read the dedication. [...]

[...] Dreams, yours and Ruburt’s, your flying saucers, some of your visions, planes, planets and radio stars. [...]

[...] This material may not be as startling as your flying saucers, but it may be extremely useful. [...]

[...] In your room keep some cotton in a saucer. [...]

(Now Jane suddenly pounded her left fist on the table so hard that the cups and saucers and other objects jumped violently. [...]

Who do I share this image with?
What ghost haunts this house?
I smile and reach for a cup of tea
And motions beyond my will begin.
My fingers move smoothly out
And lift the curving spoon.
With just the proper touch
They pick the china saucer up.
Yet I have nothing to do with this.
Who moves the cup? [...]

[...] Seth presented some very interesting material on flying saucers, time, other systems, etc. [...]

[...] In some respects these pulsations represent what happens in some of your flying saucer incidents, for you do not often have a vehicle such as the vehicle that you perceive, or think that you perceive. [...]

A certain distortion must be expected, in the same manner that a distortion occurs in the form of your flying saucers. [...]

[...] I have described the effects of entry into your plane of the so-called flying saucers, and my entry into your plane is something of the same.
