“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This further unites all species in a cooperative venture that has remained largely invisible because of beliefs projected outward upon the world by both your sciences and religions, generally speaking. All of your grandest civilizations have existed first in the world of dreams. [...]

[...] You will always have to wonder about a kind of mechanical birth of the universe—and it will indeed seem as if your own world was made up of the spare parts that somehow fell together in just such a fashion so that life later emerged.

[...] I do want to point out, however, that a state you usually call dreaming is but a dim indication of an inner reality of events (intently), an inner order of events from which the physical world emerges. [...]

[...] You form the world that you know and you form your own images. [...]

[...] Any evils in the world are symptoms of you own inner disorders and are meant to lead you to cure them. [...]

[...] You play with mental blocks and you make worlds. [...]

[...] You have only a shadowy understanding of what the world means. [...]

(Long pause.) In the past, and in large areas of the world now, many important decisions are not made by the individual, but by the state, or religion, or society. [...]

[...] And it seemed in the beginning that science delivered, for the world was changed from candlelight to electric light to neon in the flicker of an eye, and a man could travel in hours distances that to his father or grandfather took days on end.

(9:55.) Some people looked, and are looking, for some authority — any authority — to make their decisions for them, for the world seems increasingly dangerous, and they, because of their beliefs, feel increasingly powerless. [...]

In the past also, even in your country, there were convents and monasteries for those who did not want to live in the world as other people did. [...]

[...] “Strange,” I mused to Jane, “that of all the nuclear power plants in the world, we end up living that close to the one that goes wrong….”

[...] Jonestown was far away, remote in another land, I said to Jane, but the potential mass tragedy of Three Mile Island hovers at the edges of our personal worlds. [...]

(Of more importance, it seems on the surface at least, is a reaching-out on Assad’s part toward a dialogue with the Western world — quite an unexpected development, I thought. As I discussed the events of today with Jane, and watched them on TV, it came to me that they might signal at least a beginning of those very beneficial world events Seth had referred to for the coming year in the session for December 28, 1983. [...]

[...] I admit that some of this material quite contradicts your usual ideas, but the health of your body is intimately related not only to the state of world health, but to the physical climate as well.

[...] It is a necessary portion of the larger process of the world’s physical stability. [...]

[...] Science sees the world as rushing toward its own dissolution, and the self as the mechanistic system running down from the moment of its conception. [...]

The world in those terms (pause) is as much the result of unpredictable behavior, unforeseen events, unexpected benefits, unforeseeable conditions, as it is the result of predictable actions, usual cause-and-effect phenomena (pause), and a close inspection of public and private life would show quite clearly that both are magnificently touched by significant coincidences. [...]

(Long pause.) He is learning to create whole private and public worlds that directly correspond to his own states of mind. [...]

(Long pause at 8:43.) Deplorable as world conditions seem, for example, as man’s desperate need for self-understanding is made known to himself, so in that world also there is a time of sensed change: new values that “will take this time.” [...]

There are intersections, changes, of spiritual direction, say, of course occurring constantly in your world. [...]

[...] The world that you know is one of the infinite materializations taken by consciousness, and as such it is valid.

[...] The soul, in other words, has created a world for you to inhabit, to change — a complete sphere of activity in which new developments and indeed new forms of consciousness can emerge.

[...] It creates worlds as it goes, so to speak.

In dreams the preparations for experienced events take place, not only in the most minute details but in the larger context of the world scene. [...] The “future” history of the world, for example, is worked out now, as in the dream state each individual works with the probable events of private life. [...] When a person constructs various probable realities in the dream state, he or she does so also in this larger context, in which the probable status of the world is known.

For example, Ruburt might think “I must make up my mind, go out into the world, do lectures and tours, state my case, be an excellent example of the material, not only in normal physical condition but in glowing health.” or “I must stay at home, hide from the world, keep myself restrained lest I give into images of self-grandeur.” [...]

The letting-go of effort should be also a mental and psychological stance applied not only to Ruburt’s physical dilemma, but to his—and your—relationships with the subjective and objective worlds. [...]

[...] You looked at the world and could no longer accept many of the basic beliefs upon which its fabric is socially founded. Many of the people who read my books are also disillusioned with the world’s beliefs. [...]

[...] If they read Ruburt’s books, they must accept the fact that Ruburt, as a woman, without the world’s credentials, will dare to follow the dictates of the inner self, and this makes the entire affair more frightening to them, to a degree.

[...] They are between the comic book world and your own. [...]

At the same time I work with a level of Ruburt’s personality that is his, that to some extent uses his knowledge of the world and its people, but I am far freer in my overall understanding and comprehension of people. [...]

(Pause at 9:43.) In the physical world, islands, valleys, plateaus, continents and oceans all have their place, and serve to form the physical basis of your reality. [...]

Each flower on a hillside looks out with its own unique vision of the world, and each consciousness does the same thing, fulfilling a position impossible for any other consciousness to fulfill.

[...] To discover it you look “down” through the levels of your own being, there to find the layers of selfhood that in your world represent the past history of yourself, from which you emerged. [...]

[...] Why is it that your scientists’ instruments do not allow them to look into the future instead, into worlds not yet born, since they operate so well in discerning the past? [...]

[...] The ego, again, looks into the physical world. [...]

[...] He did not identify with the world or its people. [...]

[...] They told the world he did not toe the line, and he feared retribution, ostracism, scorn.

[...] I would like to mention, however, that neither of you make any serious effort to change your beliefs about the world of men.

He told his students that he felt as if he were between worlds, and he was. [...]

[...] Note that in the last session, my notes contain no reference to Jane’s feeling that she was, however momentarily, between two worlds.)

[...] We thought her between-worlds experience a very good sign, in that the new personality was already beginning to fulfill functions, to add new dimensions to the sessions. [...]

(Pause.) Your own world, from my perspective, does not exist in the way I am sure it exists for you. [...]

[...] I have consistently advised contacts with the world at large and advised you both to use your abilities to meet outside challenges. Withdrawal into dissociation as a hiding place from the world could, of course, have dire consequences. [...]

The dream world has its own reality, its own ‘time’ and its own inner organization. As the entity is only partially concerned with its personalities after setting them into motion, so you are unconcerned with this dream world after you have set it into motion. [...]

Now people who believe strongly in your organized religions are used to thinking in terms of an inner world. [...]

Also, Ruburt has experienced and used dissociation in his work, though to a lesser degree, before our communications and knows how to handle it… Our relationship will enable you both to deal more adequately with the outside world. [...]

[...] He was not sure enough of his new world; he was still enough a part of the old one so that he often saw his life and abilities through the eyes of the “old world inhabitants” — the others who might scorn him, or set him up for ridicule.¹³ They represented portions of his own psyche still at that level of consciousness, not having quite assimilated the greater knowledge or experience, so he felt he needed protection — the protection that would … cleverly … serve all of his purposes, allowing him to go ahead as he wanted to … that would keep him at home working, and yet also serve as a control against too much inner spontaneity until he learned that he could indeed trust the new world of experience.

[...] Some intelligent beings have visited your planet, finding not the world you know but a probable one.⁴ There are always feedbacks between probable systems. [...]

[...] Otherwise you will seem to visit one dead world after another, blind to civilizations that may exist on any of them. [...]

3. Seth began discussing coordinate points in Chapter 5 of Seth Speaks. See the 524th session: “Other kinds of consciousness coexist within the same ‘space’ that your world inhabits. [...]

[...] There will be no glorious proclamation to which the whole world will bow. He will return to straighten out Christianity, which will be in a shambles at the time of his arrival, and to set up a new system of thought when the world is sorely in need of one.

[...] Now these prophecies were given in terms of the current culture at that time, and therefore, while the stage has been set, the distortions are deplorable, for this Christ will not come at the end of your world as the prophecies have been maintaining.

You may make a note here that Nostradamus saw the dissolution of the Roman Catholic Church as the end of the world. [...]

[...] (Jane paused, a hand to her eyes.) He created them in so far as he found himself forced to admit certain facts: In that world at that time, earthly power was needed to hold Christian ideas apart from numberless other theories and religions, to maintain them in the middle of warring factions. [...]

What magicians we all are,
turning darkness into light,
transforming invisible atoms
into the dazzling theater
of the world,
pulling objects,
(people as well
as rabbits)
out of secret
microscopic closets,
turning winter into summer,
making a palmful of moments
disappear through time’s trap door.

[...] There are events in the inward world. [...]

[...] These caused you to probe into the nature of your own beings in most intimate fashion, and yet were meant to lead you into that inner world of events—because each of you wanted to take that chance, and make that journey.
