“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This mild sensation has been a rather standard one for me during psychological time, when presumably I was in a light state of dissociation. [...]

[...] Her manner was quite active and much of the time she leaned forward, elbows on her knees. [...]

[...] You will find, incidentally, that within a fairly short time that the stock of which we have spoken will take a quite severe drop, after which it will slowly rise.

[...] It is developing even better than I had hoped, and our own material will now begin to really develop, for we have enough background to enable us to cover subject matter that would have been impossible at an earlier time. [...]

The practice of psychological time will allow you to reach these portions of the self. [...]

[...] You may be convinced that a given episode is the result of subconscious fabrication, simply because the time sequence is not maintained, and this could be a fine error. [...] Yet you may be straddling time in such an instance, perceiving, say, the room as it was in the 1700’s and the street as it appears in your present. [...]

To a large extent in the physical system, your habit of perceiving time as a sequence forms the type of experience and also limits it. [...] Time, in other words, cannot be counted upon to unify action. [...]

[...] At other times, you may find yourself swept from place to place, with little control. [...]

We will take a good amount of time to cover this and allied subjects, as we must also deal with the pattern and its source. Since matter is constantly re-created, and instantaneous, many of your ideas of time are of course distorted, since you have taken it for granted that matter changes with, or in, time. You have judged a time interval by the seeming changes in a given material object.

(While trying psychological time I had the following experiences:

[...] Although she still chose her words carefully, still there was not the straining and searching attitude so noticeable last time. [...]

[...] I had indeed intended initially to have a short session last time, but because the material — please appreciate my pun—on material was coming through so well, I continued.

[...] Ruburt naturally can learn and is learning to control his responses to such conditions, and incidentally this week he has made a few strides as far as the quiet times he has spent in using psychological time.

[...] If you will both practice correct use of psychological time you will greatly aid such inner data.

You should continue your own experiments in the use of psychological time, Joseph, as we also depend upon your abilities in these sessions.

If at any time in the future there is even the necessity for a deeper trance on Ruburt’s part, I will let you know at the time and there will be nothing to worry about. But as a rule this will not be the case, and at all times Ruburt can use his own volition, giving or not giving his permission. [...]

[...] While trying psychological time on June 18,1964, I had a very startling experience in which I was told by a thunderous voice that John’s trouble lay really in a “bad tongue.” [...]

(During this part of the impromptu session Jane’s voice became very loud and strong at times; it did not match the effects of the recorded 170th session, but came close once or twice. [...] At times Jane got to her feet and tipped her head back, as she had done in the 170th session. [...]

The voice became very loud at times. [...] My eyes were open a good deal of the time.

(This is the first time she has tried to reconstruct a session from her own viewpoint. [...]

I will here again suggest that Ruburt return to a definite scheduled psychological time habit. [...]

[...] At times it will agree with our predictions and our interpretations. At times it will not agree with our interpretation of what it calls a valid prediction. And at times it will state that a prediction is valid, when we can see nothing during the following day’s events to tie to the prediction.)

[...] The pendulum also advised her against a trip to New York City at this time. [...] The upshot of all this was that by session time we had about decided to sign the contact.

[...] She drank some water, remarking that as far as she could remember this was the first time she had ever so interrupted a session. [...]

[...] One in automatic writing and one in psychological time. [...]

[...] It is there all the time whether or not you realize it and it sustains you whether or not you realize it. [...]

[...] If the dilemma continued for any length of time, you could then develop a chronic ailment, though not of an incapacitating manner. [...]

(Jane is now trying psychological time for half an hour daily.)

[...] And it would seem from within those fields that time as you know it is involved. You know however that time is not involved. The appearance of this time is caused by the apparent changes or transformations of the action as it enters any given camouflage field.

[...] There will also be additional information concerning the concept of time, as the experience of time is strongly connected with the motion of mental acts, as they are projected outward from their center into the fields of various camouflage systems.

For all systems, so-called time is measured with the entrance or projection of any given mental action through this resistance barrier. [...] When it passes completely through a system, then within the system it appears that the mental action has ceased to be, and again time is marked.

[...] The subject had been brought up by severalvivid dreams and psychological time experiences Jane had had concerning her mother. While giving this 105th session, Seth had also had trouble getting the information through, ascribing the difficulty to Jane’s ego. [...]

[...] This account is written the next evening from memory, since I took no notes at the time.

[...] Jane has experienced this same phenomenon several times while reading this work, and it is dealt with in the 131st and 158th sessions.

[...] This is the first time he has given me any specific age, although in several previous sessions, among them the 149th and the 217th, he has mentioned my living to an old age. [...]

[...] One of my purposes is to enable you not only to recognize but experience this independent reality, and again the use of psychological time in a correct manner will be an invaluable aid.

And this is also an example of an instance where Ruburt would have blocked me, but this time he did not. My good afternoon instantly confused him since he was well aware of the time. [...]

The use of certain drugs has been experimented with at various times through the ages, but these provide merely an undisciplined, intriguing glimpse into what is possible; and for some time in your future they will not be either practical or in the main beneficial, for reasons that I shall go into after you take your break.

[...] It is true that focusing upon the inner reality at times requires a temporary lessening of outer focus, and this would sometimes give the appearance of letting go, but the inner concentration requires discipline and intent. It is quite possible to let the inner and the outer senses operate at the same time. [...]

[...] I do suggest that on session nights Ruburt find some time to relax. Also that whenever possible you both read our material, and that you do continue now with psychological time, following the directions which I have given you.

(Jane and I have not as yet resumed the study of psychological time.

[...] She began dictating on time, in a normal voice and at a regular rate. [...]

[...] They will be discussed under their own headings when the time is ready.

Nor does the evolution of either an idea or a species involve time. It merely involves time in your universe. [...] Using psychological time, sit in a quiet room; and I hope this is not impossible, when an idea comes to you, and I presume it will, do not play with it intellectually. [...]

You will discover this by experiencing the idea directly, and you can best achieve some approximation of accomplishment by using psychological time. [...] Sweet tootsies, there is no beginning or end, and this idea of yours is the result of a complete and utter concentration upon camouflage time.

[...] You believe in your ideas of time, and depend upon them to such a degree that it is impossible at this stage for you to conceive of a concept that has nothing to do with space or time.

[...] After the glaring distortions of last session Jane had decided that she must relax, witnesses or no, so as the time for the session approached the radio still played, and we played with Willy, our cat, and exchanged banter with John.

[...] Now, if you really learn to keep track of your dreams and record them over a period of time, you may get a clue as to what these activities are. There are other ways of obtaining clues in psychological time, for example, but if I were you, I would be much more curious about what I do in my dreams for you can utilize these abilities in the waking state. [...]

[...] Someone who has not been here for some time. [...] Your own consciousness is quite dazzling and it will do you for some time. [...]

[...] You must use your intellect and your intuitions and read some passages four times. [...]

The psychological-time experiments should also be suspended. [...]

[...] I had been using suggestion at various times through the day; trying Seth’s method, I noticed an amazing improvement at once. I slept well the night of the 6th, and sneezed but five times the whole following day. [...]

It makes no difference that physical time does not exist as you imagine, since you act as if it does. For this reason physical time is involved. [...]

[...] This time I cemented a collection of used U.S. postage stamps, still on original paper, to a folded piece of white paper. [...]

[...] Psychological time, if you contemplate it, will set you free, so that you feel value fulfillment and durability within the time that you know. [...]

[...] You regret past time, and that your abilities, you feel, have not come to fruition. This serves to tighten you up and overwhelm you with a sense of desperation at times, and is highly restricted.

One, you are limiting the time in which you can be creative or get ideas. [...] Instead tell yourself that creative ideas for your paintings can come to you at any hour of the night or day, and that creativity knows no time barrier.

In this way creative ideas can even come to you at your job, or on other occasions, and be used at a more convenient time. The negative thought that you have only afternoons (underline only), also tends to limit the value of the time that you do have, and restrict it.

Action is not affected by time as you know it. [...] You may, however, only perceive parts of action in your time breakdown. Ideally, psychological time experiences will allow you to perceive action more clearly and directly. [...]

[...] The chair created then by any given individual, and perceived by him, is an identity in that it exists at any given time, without any exact duplication. [...]

The continued existence of your physical body is determined by action, although consciously you are not aware of this most of the time. [...]

We shall have to consider, later, color as it appears in dreams, but this is not the time for such a discussion. [...]

[...] Psychological time is your best method for perceiving these actualities.

You and your reincarnated selves, or personalities, are not imprisoned in time. [...] Time has open ends in all directions or such a thing as probabilities would not exist. [...]

[...] This webwork helps you manipulate in a world of space and time, and is as nebulous, precarious and delicate as any spider’s web — and in as precarious a balance. [...]

[...] I was a spice merchant at one time. [...]

[...] This psychological-time experience of Jane’s also involved John Bradley.)

[...] The other point that I wanted to make was that while your physical time, or clock time, has no overall basic reality, and is not a primary reality, that runs through various fields or systems, it is nevertheless an electromagnetic reality within your own system, for you have created it on mental terms.

[...] If clock time is escaped within the dream state, then clock time is not a primary. [...]

He will be at all times a prisoner of clock time and of aging, for he will consider these the primary conditions under which he must operate. [...]

[...] Psychological time simply allows you to let go, to relax. [...]

Now, there is one very cozy answer that is quite handy at times and it neatly relieves you of all sense of responsibility. [...]

[...] At other times my style was rather different but when my hair was worn somewhat in the style of yours, then I wore more sporty attire to go along with it. [...]

[...] In your terms, the quicker you learn the better, this despite the fact that time does not exist. [...]

(While trying psychological time Jane had the following experiences:

(While trying psychological time I had the following experiences:

(The thrilling then returned, this time to a lesser degree and ranging down from the top of my head. The first time, it ran up my body from the left foot.

What you consider your consciousness, or your self, or your thinking ego, represents of course only one portion of your entire consciousness, that part which you are using at this time. [...]
