“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On September 26, 1964, Jane and I sent sessions 39-91 to the publisher, Frederick Fell, NY, NY. On February 16, 1965 we asked for the return of the material. On March 5, 1965, F. Fell wrote that the sessions were being carefully read.

(Once again we held the session in our back bedroom, and found it very peaceful and quiet behind closed doors. Jane had no idea of the material for the session. She spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her voice was quiet and clear throughout the session. Her rate of delivery was again quite slow; some of her pauses were long. She began speaking at 9:01.)

(For the material on psychic gestalts, see the 59th, 62nd, 81st, 96th and 128th sessions, among many others.)

Once more, action is not a force outside that acts upon matter. Action is, instead, the inside vitality of the inner universe. It is the dilemma between inner vitality’s desire and impetus to completely materialize itself, and its inability to completely do so. This was also discussed briefly in sessions dealing with the first appearance of matter within the physical field.

(See the 60th session, among others, along with the aforementioned material on psychic gestalts, etc. See also the 137th session.)

I spoke of this second dilemma. The first dilemma is that which exists when inner vitality struggles to completely materialize, though it cannot completely materialize. The reasons for its inability to completely materialize have been given in a previous session, and I will discuss the matter again at a later date.

I will shortly comment upon Ruburt’s inside experience which you have just noted, as it is directly connected with the material now under discussion, and indeed is an example of the matter of which I have been speaking.

(Groping for words, Jane explained that she feels as though she is “wresting” material [not implying a struggle however] from Seth or some other source with a deep part of her consciousness that is below her ego consciousness. She feels that just recently she has in some manner begun to experience concepts in a more involved, different dimension of consciousness. It is a state of perception she hadn’t attained before, perhaps until as recently as the last session and this one.

These three dilemmas represent three areas of reality within which inner reality, or inner vitality, can experience itself. And here we have also the reason, or one of the reasons why, inner vitality can never achieve complete materialization. The very action involved in vitality’s attempt to materialize itself adds to the inner dimension of inner vitality.

Action basically can never complete itself. Inner vitality, materializing in any form whatsoever, at once multiplies the possibilities of further materialization. At the same time, because inner vitality is self-generating, only a minute fraction of inner vitality is needed to seed a whole universe.

Inner vitality attempts therefore to materialize itself completely, and yet because of its very nature, with each materialization it increases itself, making the attempt impossible. This is the basic dilemma, from which all types of reality spring. This of course leads us to the necessity for further discussion concerning the nature of inner vitality itself.

(Break at 10:31. Jane was dissociated. She feels she has attained a visceral knowledge of concepts, meaning that she feels them within. She also realized she was aware of what she dictated to me during the session, although not the word-for-word order of the material. She called this a psychological experience. She obtained the information one way, and passed it on to me another way.

(Seth-Jane had some material on consciousness and the direction of focus in the 94th session, among others.)

I mentioned in our last session that this material would be the basis for many future sessions, and so I will certainly make no attempt to cover the material this evening.
