“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is a constant give and take between psychic and chemical components which actually cause your daily weather, your weather cycles, seasons, droughts and storms. This physical weather then in its turn affects and changes the psychic atmosphere of each individual. The force that causes your weather can be thought of as self-generating.

(Watching the blizzard that hit Elmira this weekend in action, I thought it like a disembodied psychic storm. Jane agreed; as session time drew near tonight she said she thought Seth would discuss the storm, and our weather in general. Seth has had something to say about the weather in these sessions: 56, 84, 123 and 175, without going into any great detail. Check Volumes 2, 3, and 4.

The chemical connections are the most easily discovered. The discovery however comes about, or is coming about, as a result of studies made concerning the effect of physical weather upon the individual, in chemical terms. It will take longer before it is at all realized that the individual also affects the weather.

This is not to be taken as a symbolic idea, for I am speaking in quite practical terms. Not only does the human system for example become influenced chemically, electronically and psychically by physical weather, but also the human system electronically, electromagnetically, chemically and psychically affects and creates the climate in which existence is possible.

[...] As far as the effect of weather upon the moods of individuals, we do have something else. For the weather is created by you, on a subconscious level. The weather, at any given time, is a direct physical interpretation of the inner mass mind. [...]

[...] The weather causes psychic activities, to some extent assassinations and accidents. On the other hand, the atmosphere was originally mental and the weather originates from this mental level.

[...] Recently she conducted a small informal survey to discover the effect of weather upon human activities. [...]

All of these conditions merge to create the peculiar weather with its innumerable and constant changes. [...]

Incidentally, the weather does indeed affect your moods, even as your moods affect the weather, and we will also go into this later.

My earlier remark that the weather affects your moods even as your moods affect the weather, is an important one. [...]

Weather goes in cycles, not because cycles are inherent in weather patterns, but because emotional cycles are inherent in individuals, and this also will be explained in time.

Your weather indeed can be with some truth compared to loosely formed, mainly unconstructed energy, in many ways unbridled and uncontrolled by strong centralization of either subconscious or conscious control. [...]

I will not go deeply into the weather angle now because of the hour. [...] The physical condition reacts to some extent weatherwise, in that as Ruburt’s Piper said, muscles behave differently (in inclement weather). [...]

Secondly, your moods are affected by weather, all kinds; as you know you form it to begin with. [...] Through association in periods of depression a connection can be built up—a habitual pattern in which bad weather suggests depression and vice-versa.

Now there is some more information I can give you, concerning the weather. [...]

(10:05.) “Your cat, in a strange fashion, reacted to the weather—not reacted so much as identified with its interpretation of the weather’s mood—became part of the weather in a fashion, opened up to it, but became depressed in your terms.

(The weather is still very warm for this time of year; the temperature is often above freezing in the daytime, and when we do get a dusting of snow it soon melts on the bare ground. [...]

[...] The give-and-take of weather conditions and animal behavior is little understood. [...]

[...] Your weathercasters try to predict the weather. [...] The weather, however, is the result of the world’s natural moods, and intuitive predictions would be far more predictable, for they would deal with those variables that cannot appear, or be predicted, at the exterior level.

In the past, farmers used dreams to plant their crops, and weather dreams were very popular—that is, people actually dreamed about the weather in the past because of their concern and their more intimate relationship with the natural environment. [...]

If you think the paper will give you tomorrow’s weather, and only an issue of whether or not to carry an umbrella is involved, then you do not feel the same impetus, or a precognitive dream about the weather. [...]

[...] The electrical reactions are different according to the weather and atmospheric conditions. In rainy weather, there is an added electrical resistance within the atomic structures themselves — a sort of delayed reaction, hardly perceptible in physical terms — a delayed period before the vertebrae come to rest again, so to speak, in the desired position.

Partially because of the muscular reaction mentioned by the chiropractor, and partially because the body’s healing mechanisms operate more effectively in clear weather. [...]

[...] In clear weather there is much less of a delayed reaction, and the activated, stirred-up atoms come more quickly to rest.

(Jane was so uncomfortable from the hot and humid weather last night that she didn’t hold the regularly scheduled session. [...] I’ve often hesitated to mention it, but as I did remark a few days ago, I feel her reaction to the weather must have other causes — that is, besides those having to do with simple environmental conditions. [...]

(Seth comments on weather tonight. [...]

He heard tomorrow’s weather report (yesterday), groaned, thought of a very uncomfortable 90-degree temperature tomorrow [and] imagined himself miserable with the heat. [...]

(On June 5, 1968 John Pitre telephoned Jane from Franklin, LA, seeking answers to three questions: the reasons for John’s uneasiness concerning his wife Peg last week; the reasons for the loss of leg feeling John experiences in hot weather; and data on a pilot, Albert Blevins, who vanished on a flight in a small plane near the Gulf Coast about four years ago, presumably near Franklin.

[...] This having to do with Ruburt’s characteristic chemical patterns in the first warm weather. [...]

[...] Both of us felt somewhat tired, but attributed it to the weather, which has been cloudy and oppressive for the past few days. Jane and I try to ignore such factors consciously, but have no doubt we feel the psychic effects of weather as much as anybody else.

(We thought our feeling tired nothing unusual, nor had we been concerned at any effect the weather might have upon us. [...]

[...] The weather has also a connection here, and your moods are affected by both. [...]

[...] The weather faithfully reflects the feelings of the individuals in any given local territory. Overall weather patterns follow deeper inner rhythms of emotion.

[...] They have a great effect upon the weather. [...]

[...] You do not simply react to the weather. [...]

Raindrop patterns in a puddle follow certain laws having to do with the contours of the land, the weather, the nature of the rain, of the clouds, the height from which the raindrops fall, and the conditions operating in the nearby and far portions of the world. If you could properly understand all of that, then by looking into a single puddle you could tell the past and present weather conditions for the entire planet, and follow the probabilities in terms of storms, or volcanic eruptions. [...]

[...] On this level individual dreams help form mass reality, yet also to some extent arise from it in the same way that local weather conditions contribute to world weather conditions, while they are formed by them at the same time.

[...] Your health and the daily weather interact with each other. [...]

[...] Jane had “no idea that he was going into that weather stuff.” [...]

Remember that ideas are as natural as the weather. [...]

[...] You may migrate to a climate in which the prevailing ideas suit you better, as well as the weather.

(“Well, how about his response to the hot weather?”)

[...] He attributes hot weather to laziness, leisure, lack of vigor, fruitless activity, and it annoys him. [...]

[...] If a large area was besieged by stormy weather of any kind, then obviously a god must have somehow disapproved of human action. [...] If certain patterns of behavior were followed and the weather was pleasant, then those patterns of behavior must be ones that were safe. If the weather turned disastrous, the people were in a quandary, reexamining the patterns of behavior, finding perhaps minute differences, suspicious variations, that seemed to occur just before the storm—so these became the new sins.

(The weather was very hot, humid and sticky. Often on such occasions Jane doesn’t feel much like having a session, being quite sensitive to weather changes. [...]

[...] She thought the trance had been deeper than usual to cover many distractions: the weather and new rain, traffic noise, a party going on downstairs, etc.

(As mentioned by Seth in the last session, I have begun keeping a record of outside weather data from our television weather channel. [...] When we begin our dream experiments with the recorder, we will also keep a daily weather record, again as suggested by Seth.

[...] Animals certainly do not worry about tomorrow’s weather conditions. (Long pause.) It may be true that animals do not need to know tomorrow’s weather, since they do not plant seeds or collect the harvest. [...]

(Elmira is on a cable TV system, and one channel presents a 24-hour weather report. [...]

The weather readings from your television station will also be handy in relation to the projected dream experiments.

As far as our dream experiments are concerned, I believe that you will discover definite correlations of a rather important nature that exist between the incidence of precognitive dreams, and data having to do with temperature and weather.
