“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I cannot explain everything at once, and so obviously many questions would remain unanswered until we can get to them. For the original thought, as an identity, to actually be transmitted to a sender, you would have to face the inevitable result: If the identical thought were actually transmitted from A to B, then A would have it no longer. Since A obviously may still have the original thought, then B has not the identical thought; not an exact duplicate, but instead a similar but still unidentical thought.

If you will consider the projection of a thought, that is intangible, so that it affects another individual, and hence both directly and indirectly affects the action of physical matter, then you may consider the possibility of other such projections. We have here a rather delicate point. I have said that there are no duplicates. Yet you may say, are not some thoughts duplicates? The variations may indeed be slight, but the variations are always present. A thought transmitted knowingly or unknowingly by “A” is not precisely the same thought when it reaches receiver “B”.

Whether or not A, the sender, knowingly transmits this apparent duplicate, at the point of its transmission the sender forms an electrical impulse pattern that is supposed to duplicate the original thought. But no such identical duplication is possible, as far as I know, within reality of any kind.

Prime identities cannot be duplicated. Duplication, exact duplication, is always merely an effect of insufficient knowledge. In some cases two thoughts may indeed appear identical, but whether or not examination can show it, such exact duplication is impossible. Now. When receiver B receives this transmitted thought, he may react and interpret that part of the thought that is similar to the original.

[...] It transmits information. Where is the information that is being transmitted then, if it is not upon the page? [...]

Now in the same way, I am telling you that objects are also symbols that stand for a reality whose meaning the objects, like the letters, transmit. [...]

[...] It makes little difference that I transmit it and that Ruburt receives it. [...]

[...] On many occasions I transmit information to your Seth and he then gives it to you. [...]

[...] I transmit information to Seth, who then interprets it for Ruburt. [...]

[...] The principle of creative distortions is mainly responsible for the fact that no identical thought is ever transmitted from one individual to another. [...]

The thought received in telepathic communications will not, therefore, be the exact thought that was transmitted, but a close approximation, a creative distortion, actually created by the receiver. [...]

Say for example that our individual “A” wanted to transmit this thought to “B”. [...]

[...] He can send an approximation of it, for the attempt to transmit the thought automatically changes the thought itself. [...]

[...] The love travels in both directions, however, so that as you touch Ruburt’s body his love for you is also transmitted to you, even as your love is transmitted to him —so you are dealing with a very basic and vital kind of communication. [...]

[...] Beside this, however, certain general, learned patterns are biologically transmitted to the child through the genes. Certain kinds of knowledge are transmitted through the genes besides that generally known, having to do with cellular formations and so forth.

[...] They become biologically pertinent and transmitted. [...]

There was a greater and greater body of knowledge to be transmitted as physical existence continued, for they did not transmit private knowledge only, but the entire body of knowledge that belonged to the group or tribe as a whole.

The words that I speak to you transmit information, but the words themselves are not the information but verbal carriers. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The brain is capable (underlined)of interpreting and transmitting far more inner information than it does. [...]

[...] Knowledge is received and transmitted in electromagnetic patterns so that one pattern can carry far more units of information than anything you have, technologically speaking. Each cell in the body does its part in picking up such signals and transmitting them. [...]

In your life as a minister (in Boston, early last century) you were a receiver in the terms that Ruburt is now, and your congregation acted as a transmitting agency.

[...] It is not a dead thing transmitted, since it has no meaning without personality and realization, and since it changes the personalities through whom it seems to flow. [...]

[...] What I learn is transmitted automatically to others like me, and their knowledge is transmitted to me.

[...] I wondered: if Seth isn’t speaking now, who is?) He is closer to you in personality makeup and closer to your reality, therefore he could transmit ideas to Ruburt in more understandable terms than I.

He transmitted it in personal terms, made it understandable through the transmutation of himself.

[...] Seth as you knew him will also be Seth as you know him; for whether or not I speak as myself or through him, as you think of him, he is still the intermediary and the connection between us, and he will help transmit energy; but more, he will also appear as himself as you have known him. [...]

[...] Now in our last session I told you that our imaginary sender “A” does not transmit a given thought. [...]

[...] This he transmits to B. But B can’t receive the thought in its present condition, for the act of receiving a thought also changes it. [...]

[...] Some of the Sumari speakers in the beginning transmitted inner information in precisely such a way, and hopefully at some time at least a few such versions may be picked up by Ruburt. [...]

[...] You did help transmit the information also in highly stylized drawings, and to a much lesser extent through highly stylized voice patterns that were taught to students.

[...] There was a greater and greater body of knowledge to be transmitted as physical existence continued, for they did not transmit private knowledge only, but the entire body of knowledge that belonged to the group as a whole.”

[...] That is a kind of qualitative event that in its own way cannot be judged or ascertained, and it presents a certain kind of emotional evidence—a living knowledge—that is transmitted to others, and is in its way more valuable than any scientific treatise that might validate our work.

[...] They transmit “originality” without altering it, however, through the social structures.

(Long pause at 11:01.) Members of this (Zuli) family can often serve as models for the artist or the writer, but generally speaking they themselves transmit their energy through physical “arts” and performance. [...]

[...] These are actually composed of inbred psychological information as necessary and vital to your life as the data transmitted by your genes and chromosomes. [...]

[...] It is purely a psychic organization that telepathically transmits concepts from me to Ruburt. [...]

[...] The psychological bridge can transmit, you see, and to some extent translate, but not interpret.

[...] But our creative work is everything, and so it, and whatever pertains to it, go to a place where all will be preserved and protected, yet made available for study by researchers and lay people alike as it is transmitted there.
