“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Someone else may experience instead a version of that event, which then becomes that individual’s felt reality.

[...] Each child chooses its own probable version of any given birthdate. [...]

In the first place you are looking at one version of the universe, as it seems to exist at the moment of your perception. [...]

5. I think that in his material from 10:17 to 10:25 here, Seth very neatly summarizes much of his thinking about how each of us constantly moves through a multitude of probable realities, meeting certain others in any one space-time environment, perceiving individual versions of any given event … Very useful information. [...]

[...] There are endless versions [of consciousness], of course, with their own worlds, forming organizations of meaning and purpose. [...]

You are one conscious version of yourself, creating along with all of your contemporaries the realities of the times. [...]

[...] Instead you included such cousins of consciousness into your midst, accepting a kind of comradeship—for to some extent at least you could see the different versions of humanity that resulted from a change of focus, an adjacent affiliation of humanized energy with the environment. [...]

[...] Now it seems to you that because you speak one sentence at any given time, rather than ten other possible versions of it, the sentence as spoken is the “correct” one. [...]

[...] As you might change your sentence in the middle from one version to another without even being consciously aware of it, so as you live your life you also work with probabilities. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Our version of reality had to emerge in the midst of that environment. [...]

2. I’ve always liked the way Jane uses the word “eccentric” in relation to the abilities of any portion of consciousness to create new versions of itself; she’s added her own original interpretation of the word to the dictionary version of “eccentric” as meaning out of the ordinary, or odd, or unconventional.

Yet each smallest portion of consciousness can uniquely create, bring into being, eccentric² versions of All That Is, that in certain terms All That Is, without that separation, could not otherwise create. [...]

It may be another version of yourself. [...]

This facility, the translation of data to the ego, who would otherwise distrust it, any such translation is nevertheless a secondhanded version of the original reality; and that is an important point.

[...] Despite distorted versions of that last statement, however, there is still obviously a distinct difference, say, between the thought of adultery and its physical expression.

[...] It rises into prominence in somewhat the same fashion, riding upon other possible versions of itself; alert only because — in your terms — of hidden pauses within its alertness.

These are poor versions. [...]

It would be nearly impossible for anyone except one of the innermost circle to distinguish between some of the versions presented. [...]

[...] At break, Jane told us she couldn’t draw versions of the symbols based upon those she’d done in trance. [...]

[...] The dream involving the old granary is of the same nature as the bookstore (Sayre) dream (as Jane said tonight)—another version of it, reminding you of the kind of nourishment generations of the past received. [...] They represent her version of your life and work. [...]

[...] overreacted to my version of the social or cultural world as opposed to the natural one—where of course I fit in beautifully. [...]

Ruburt has also been picking up some information, quite interesting, on unusual versions of perception, in which, say, living and nonliving are combined momentarily to form momentarily new kinds of objects. [...]

[...] But the conventional version says, really, that those are surface moments; that you, say, run from one to the next, as if time were a moving sidewalk with the past moment vanishing forever. [...]

In that version of events you must indeed be very careful of “how you use time.” [...]

As an individual you carry within you such a blueprint, then; it contains all the information you require to bring about the most favorable version of yourself in the probable system that you know. [...]

[...] In such a version of inner-outer reality the back-and-forth mobility, the give-and-take between inner and outer, is ignored. [...]

[...] No matter what your version of creativity, or the creation of the world, you are stuck with questions of where such energy came from, for it seems that unimaginable energy was released more or less at one time, and that this energy must then run out.

(9:53.) Give us a moment… You distinguish between consciousness and your own version, which you consider consciousness of self. [...]

These were all exterior versions of his inner spiritual journeys, for he now looked to nature for support, sustenance, and strength. [...]

[...] The ideas of shame are simply new versions of old religious concepts, or of scientific ones: if there is something physically wrong with you, it is either a sign of inner sin or of incompetency in terms of survival of the fittest. [...]

[...] (On his visit Dick told us he has embarked upon the practice of transcendental meditation recently.) You saw also an Oriental version because his daughter (Teresa), who was also connected to him in an Oriental existence, was about to bear a male child.

[...] What I appear to be is your interpretation of what I am, and earlier this evening Ruburt dimly glimpsed that my apparent reality in a quite inferior version. [...]

[...] You intend to make something different, to produce a new version of reality. [...]

[...] The idea is an old one; it is based upon the reality of counterparts, and presents another version of the theory. [...]

To me, beside whatever relationship it might have with counterpart reality, the soul-mate belief embodies strongly distorted versions of the ideas contained in the two Seth passages quoted above.

[...] I called my version of it my “fourth Roman,” and presented an account of it in Appendix 22; through internal pictures I saw, in Jerusalem in the first century A.D., the violent death of my traitorous Roman-soldier counterpart.

For there is also a version of our Florence, a young man in China, who does not weigh even 70 pounds, and who is 26 years old. [...]

[...] They are experiencing versions of religion because it interests them.

[...] This presupposes a gestalt of awareness, however, in which each knows of the activities of the others, and participates; and you have a different version of mass consciousness. [...]

8. A longer version of this material from the 657th session is presented in Note 3 for Session 683, in Volume 1; I wanted to tell readers a little about counterparts then — not only to get them interested in Volume 2 before it was published, but to show the direction in which Seth’s material was headed.

[...] Though each version is slightly different, and some appear strange within the whole context, still a world picture emerges at any given “time.”

Now remember: You are one earth version of your own greater personage. [...]

[...] (With much emphasis:) That self rides firmly, however, in the great flight of experience, and feels within itself all of those other fully unique versions that also fling their way into existence.

The concept of nirvana (see the 637th session in Chapter Nine) and the idea of heaven are two versions of the same picture, the former being one in which individuality is lost in the bliss of undifferentiated consciousness, and the latter one in which still-conscious individuals perform mindless adoration. [...]

[...] For some time Western civilization stressed a distorted version of intellectual reasoning, for example, and so the current stress about other portions of the self serves a purpose.
