The Universe of Seth & Jane Roberts

This is an article from "Innerspace" magazine 1970 featuring Jane Roberts

The Willow File The pyramids can be viewed as energy focalizers, operating outside the normal functioning of their surroundings. In the immediate vicinity of the great stone pyramids, there exists an inverted and non-physical mirror image that plays a central role in their function (see Fig. 3). This imaginary duplicate involves lines of force that are invisible and unmeasurable by today’s instruments. This imaginary duplicate did not need to be created separately; its presence is a natural and automatic consequence of constructing the physical pyramids above it. The great pyramids were possibly used as transmission and receiving stations to transport people and objects. In some ways, they functioned like subway stations — that is, a person would enter one and emerge from another. It is unclear whether time travel was also involved, but perhaps it was. The pyramids were placed at very carefully chosen locations (possibly Seth's coordination points). The second pyramid of a pai...

  The Willow File What is speaking in tongues? It is a mode of expression in which parts (or all) of the processes involved in structuring mental concepts into ordinary language are bypassed, thereby promoting the expression of these non-visual, non-verbal concepts in a more original form. Speaking in tongues may serve, within the context of a telepathic connection, as a form of communication between people. When this is later translated back into English or another natural language by different individuals, it may happen that different images are used and, understandably, different translations result. Jane uses Sumari as a way to express certain ideas that are very difficult to communicate directly. Once expressed in Sumari, she can then "translate" these ideas into poetry or prose with greater clarity. Speaking in tongues is essentially a private language. It takes on a phonological form that is comfortable for the speaker. Under some circumstances, it may also serve as a...

The Willow File There is a boundary layer or interface deep within the liquid core of the Earth where magnetic polarization occurs. This layer is denser or heavier than the liquid region above it (and possibly also below it). Normally, the wave-like magnetic regions are oriented so that north faces outward and south inward (see Fig. 2). During times of instability, however, more and more regions assume a metastable position of magnetization. This change shifts the burden of polarization to neighboring regions and causes this layer to move up and down to a certain degree. A complete magnetic reversal may take place. As depolarization progresses, highly magnetized and high-density "clumps" form and sink downward toward the solid core. At a certain critical depth, a type of transformation occurs that causes them to be powerfully accelerated upward. Their movement is halted at the underside of the mantle, where they plug the fissures or fractures that lead to the surface. In th...

The Willow File Consider an earthquake. It took many years for certain rock formations to develop. When such a formation is suddenly ruptured, there is a kind of time distortion that can somehow be related to the time it takes for the impulse within the Earth to reach the source on the other side. It may be possible to prevent earthquakes by treating the fault line with sound before the earthquake occurs. The reasoning behind this is that, as long as we do not understand the Earth's neurological pathways, we should try to reach the source of an impulse by sending a signal backward along the pathways to the source, by injecting the signal at the fault line (in the original: “Terminus”). (This may only be a way to trace these neurological lines, rather than a method of direct prevention.) However, it would allow earthquakes to be displaced, so that the impulse from the source is directed to occur in a different region where it does not have such a destructive effect. It may be th...

The Willow File Gravity is a function of time. Gravity has no meaning outside of time. Our entire concept of objects coming together and existing in one place only has meaning within the framework of time. To satisfy our concepts of time, objects must remain together for long periods. If they were to fall apart, our concept of time would change. Our concept of gravity is built in—it’s like a solidified version of our idea of continuous moments (movement?). It’s no more complicated than that. In our conception of the universe, gravity must exist, but outside of time as we know it, gravity is unnecessary. Movement would make no difference in that case. Thus, time is not only tied to space and motion, but also to gravity. Gravity appears to us more as an active principle inherent to every object on Earth than as a reaction to an external force (i.e., Earth itself). It could be described as a physical or biological attribute. It is like an ether or an aura, strongest near the object an...

The Willow File What we perceive as an electron is merely an “eccentricity” or one aspect of what an electron really is. This not only touches on our theories about time but also affects our experience of time. What we call the electron is this thing at the center (see Fig. 1). It exists in our world because of the relationship between the surrounding things, which we do not perceive. That is, the electron is the core of something we do not see. In our world, we perceive the electron in only one state or stage. If an electron appears to our instruments with a spin in one direction, it simultaneously possesses another spin in the opposite direction. Because of this, it appears to us as if cells move in only one direction, but in reality, they move simultaneously in another direction as well, in terms of energy and entropy. Whenever it appears that a cell loses energy to some degree, it is in fact being rebuilt in opposite portions, due to the dual nature of the electron. Although th...

The Tom-Willow File   This is a transcript of a conversation between W. H. Kautz and Jane Roberts, a.k.a. Seth, on November 24, 1974, in Elmira, New York. There is no English version of this transcript anywhere, so I've parsed it through ChatGPT and had it translate it into English. I do not speak German so I cannot speak to the accuracy and appropriateness of the translation. You can find the German version here .           Topics discussed: The structure of the electron Time and gravity Earthquakes The Earth’s core Language Pyramids
