“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(And yet, as if to puzzle us further, Seth did talk about dream material that Jane had obtained just last night. This turned out to be in connection with Chapter Twenty….

Within any given twenty-four hour period, then, traces and aspects of all of your other experiences appear in their own way. You each contain aspects of your other identities within your current selves — some very obvious perhaps and others barely noticeable. Abilities focused upon in one life may be recognized as your own now, for example, but not strongly utilized.

Vague yearnings toward certain accomplishments may be clues that the necessary characteristics are inherent but untrained in the self that you know. In its own way, the twenty-four hour period represents both an entire lifetime and many lives in one. In it, symbolically, you have “death” as your physically attuned consciousness comes to the end of the amount of stimuli it can comfortably handle without rest. So, at your normal physical death, you come to the point where your earth-attuned consciousness can no longer handle further data without a “longer rest,” and organize it into a creative meaningful whole — in terms of time.

[...] Yet remember that the cells in your twenty-seven-year-old hand are in no physical way the same cells that experienced any of those events. [...] Some of those memories will certainly be played back, to affect what you think of as your current experience at twenty-seven. [...]

[...] Though all of the tissue in that hand has often been completely replaced by the time you are twenty-seven, for example, the identity within each of those present cells remembers that injury.

[...] In physics it is “known,” for instance, that the proton, an elementary particle in the atomic nucleus, has an exceptionally long life in years — the number one followed by twenty-four [or more] zeros. [...]

(“Number twenty-three: Are you in contact with, or speaking through, any other humans as you are with Jane?”)

(“Number twenty-four: Does Jane ever prevent your coming through when you want to?”)

[...] “Number twenty-five: Do you have any physical fragments of any kind still here on earth?”)

By now, the sessions were running from seventeen to twenty typed, double-spaced pages and they lasted anywhere from two and a half to three hours. [...] Rob really had a great time, though, for the twenty-fifth session he didn’t have to take notes while we tried out the recorder. [...] He congratulated us on our “twenty-fifth anniversary,” and said jokingly, You will be much older by the time I am through with you. Most of the session was a discussion of ordinary subjective states emphasizing the fact that these could not be pinpointed in a laboratory or understood simply by the use of the ordinary scientific method. [...]

[...] This is our twenty-fourth session, and I am still trying to give you the answers.

Our twenty-sixth session, due Monday, February 17, was not held for two reasons. [...]

(At once at 12:25.) New chapter heading [Twenty-two:] “Affirmation, the Practical Betterment of Your Life, and the New Structuring of Beliefs.”

(“Number twenty: If everything exists now, or at once, how can it be added to through constant creation and expansion? [...]

[...] Number twenty-one: How do you account for the pain and suffering in the world?” Many people have asked us this question.)

(Before the session Jane and I went over the questions remaining on the list we had prepared for Chapter Twenty. [...]

(Somewhat to my surprise Seth started Chapter Twenty-one this evening, but I soon realized that he wasn’t leaving our questions behind. [...]

[...] They slowed the car down, laughingly, to twenty-five or so (in this inner dream) and I jumped out, also laughing and unharmed. [...]

[...] But it would be far more effective and efficient to divide the twenty-four-hour period in a different way.

[...] The inner dreaming portions of the personality seem strange to you not only because of a basic difference of focus, but because you clearly devote opposite portions of a twenty-four hour cycle to these areas of the self.

Your food should be divided within the twenty-four hour period, and not just during the times of wakefulness — that is, if the sleep patterns were changed as I suggest, you would also be eating during some night hours. [...]

Now: Give us a moment… (Whispering:) Chapter Twenty: “The Dream Landscape, the Physical World, Probabilities, and Your Daily Experience.”

[...] When we reached Troy, Pennsylvania, yesterday afternoon, some twenty-four miles south of Elmira, Jane told me she felt revitalized suddenly.)

[...] Or take twenty minutes when you can, with those rackets (badminton), so that running is combined with the idea of fun.

(The second voice which came through about twenty minutes later, was louder and sounded “older.”

[...] Later in the day he matted it and put it on the bookcase just before we began our twenty-first session.

[...] The session, the twenty-second, was one of our first spontaneous sessions. [...]

If the twenty-third session roused me to write the poem, it also impressed Rob deeply enough so that he tried a rather complicated experiment with the inner senses — without letting his conscious mind know what he was up to.

[...] I read Jane the title of Chapter Twenty-two, thinking that its indicated subject matter meant Seth was close to finishing his book….)

[...] A belief that has positive results for a woman of twenty will not necessarily have the same effect for a woman of forty, who, for example, may still pay far more attention to her children than her husband.

[...] The following material is included because it supplements Seth’s data in Chapter Twenty-one. [...]

(In the last two chapters Seth has answered just about all of the questions remaining on the list we had prepared originally for Chapter Twenty.

[...] As long as twenty men insist on fighting a war you will not have peace. [...]

(Both of us were looking forward to some private material we’d asked for earlier today; Jane already “knew” that Seth would give it tonight, but first she wanted some dictation on Chapter Twenty. [...]

(Number twenty-seven: Is evolution, as it is commonly thought of, a fact or something greatly distorted?

(“Number twenty-eight: Have I painted any portraits of Speakers?”)

You cannot say to yourself twenty times a day “There is no peace,’’ and at the same time expect to find some, with any possibility of achieving anything but conflict. [...]
