“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Below is a copy of the question-and-answer session I held with myself and the pendulum on the afternoon of June 12, 1967, today, in an effort to see what subconscious knowledge I might have that would benefit Jane.

[...] You do not see your subconscious in the mirror. [...]

[...] When you suddenly cannot remember a name that you should know, you have in essence the same kind of feeling of which you are always subconsciously aware.

The unconscious and subconscious areas, however, are aware of much more of this information than the ego, for it receives only the minute residue of dream material as a rule. [...]

[...] Each sensation we have received since our birth is still intact in the subconscious. [...] We focus our attention upon a certain group of events—the “present” ones—and then drop them into the subconscious where they seem to fall away and become distant. [...]

As to who or what Seth is, his term “energy essence personality” seems as close to the answer as anyone can get. I don’t believe he is a part of my subconscious, as that term is used by psychologists, or a secondary personality. I do think that we have a supraconscious that is as far “above” the normal self as the subconscious is “below” it, though Seth maintains there are no real levels to the self—the terms just make things simpler. [...]

[...] Subconsciously you knew this. [...]

[...] Our Jesuit finds spontaneous projections most beneficial on a subconscious level, to relieve pressure. [...]

[...] For the weather is created by you, on a subconscious level. [...]

([Derek:] “Is consciousness overriding our natural subconscious?”)

It is indeed, but what you do not understand is that your so-called subconscious is highly conscious, you simply are not aware of it consciously. [...]

[...] They are doing subconsciously what came naturally, attempting to form, as always, their own physical construction. [...]

[...] You and Ruburt both know subconsciously, and you have begun to sense the implications on a conscious level, but barely. [...]

[...] The mayor is also to be present upon this occasion, and Ruburt thought subconsciously how pleased her friend, Edward Briscoe, would be in his simple way—in the old days—to be present, and how impressed he would be with the mayor.

[...] Because of Mark’s background, subconsciously he fears Negroes; and the fear is so great, unfortunately, that it becomes a fascination. [...]

[...] The gasoline station was Ruburt’s personal association derived from this, subconsciously.

[...] No energy can be withdrawn, and this includes the energy used in the continuous subconscious construction of the dream world. [...]

[...] It is because you remember only vague glimmerings and disconnected episodes that dreams appear often chaotic or meaningless, particularly to the ego which censors much of the information that the subconscious retains. [...]

[...] This function will be carried on subconsciously. [...]

[...] Again, the very attempt to deprive an individual of sleep will automatically set into mechanism subconscious dream activity. [...]

And really, Jane, you’re giving your subconscious an awful lot of credit. [...]

Rob laughed at the remark about my subconscious, but instead of giving us our rest period, Seth went on for a moment:

[...] In the beginning, I took it for granted that Seth was a subconscious fantasy, personified, because I simply couldn’t accept the possibility of “spirits” or, for that matter, life after death. [...]

[...] Unknowingly he requested the desired information, that is the time, from his own subconscious, and free from impediments the subconscious delivered.

[...] When the outer ego is caught unawares and information is requested, the subconscious often delivers it through the use of the inner senses. [...]

[...] This feeling came upon me right after I had asked my subconscious to give me some idea of what had happened during the tape recording, when the voice I used seemed to belong more to Father Trainor than to me.

[...] Before we close I want you to understand that your experiments in psychological time add to your mobility and subconscious manipulation within the electrical universe. [...]

[...] Their stability or instability is, therefore, subconsciously appreciated.

[...] Even within your own system, though perhaps on a subconscious level, all emotions have a reality in color. [...]

Energy as it comes through your plane is individualized; and indeed, irregardless of any other theories, all energy contains some consciousness, in simple or more complicated gestalt fashion, as I have mentioned that atoms and molecules so possess a limited consciousness, and a generalized subconsciousness which contains within it a capsule comprehension of the universe as a whole.

[...] Therefore, if you will for a moment think of bits of energy, or consciousness, initially without definite form, entering your physical plane, then according to the innate strength and capacity of any given particle it will, on entering your plane, on its own subconscious level already know how small or large a physical pattern it can form.

[...] The only conscious decision I had made was that I would let such designs remain in the subconscious if they did not spontaneously present themselves.)

[...] I hadn’t tried to conjure up these words; the emotional climate set up in the session by Seth had made their release from the subconscious effortless.

[...] It merely takes a back seat in some respects, as your own subconscious does during physical existence.

[...] The survival personality’s inner self gives this reassembled ego concepts in the same way that, often, the subconscious gives the ego concepts in physical existence.

[...] Sometimes the communications are made directly, though they must be sifted through the subconscious of the physical individual. [...]

I realize that Ruburt in particular is in no mood for levity, and I would for his sake tell him that the information contained in his psychological time experiments, and in his dreams of late, is merely the fabrications of his subconscious, of which in the past he was not aware.

The boy who delivered the message in Ruburt’s dream was partially a dream construction, representing a George Pilotte Junior, with whom Ruburt felt an affinity in early life; a relative, a cousin who is also psychically connected with Ruburt’s mother, and who is subconsciously connected in Ruburt’s mind with the death of his grandfather, since the boy, who is now a man, was kind to Ruburt at that time.

[...] Ruburt however constructed the images subconsciously, and then perceived them.

[...] He uses this energy quite subconsciously in his psychic work. [...]

[...] However you have largely understood this on a subconscious basis, and now almost automatically make necessary inner adjustments.

I did not tell you that Ferd was merely a fabrication of the subconscious, for he is not. [...]

[...] The questions, incidentally, were the result of subconscious aggression on our friend’s part, our Jesuit; quite natural, over the condition of his father. [...]
