“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause at 3:35.) It is not too frequently noticed, but many so-called mentally deficient people possess their own unique learning abilities — that is, often they learn what they do learn in a different manner than most other people. [...] They may utilize chemicals in a different way than other people do in the learning process itself. [...]

There is hardly any danger of that possibility, however, since it would be nearly impossible to perform such a task even with the most developed of technologies — and indeed, the very attempt to do so might well immediately trigger a response on the part of the whole genetic system, so that new divergences appeared with even greater frequency, as compensation.

There are individuals who do choose ahead of time — in one lifetime or another — to accept such a divergent genetic heritage for their own reasons — often to experience life from one of its most unique aspects, and sometimes in order to encourage the growth of other abilities that might not otherwise occur.

[...] Art then becomes a method of doing something else—and that idea runs directly contrary to the basic integrity of art, and to art as he truly understands it to be. He therefore often felt forced to do what before he had done because he wanted to. [...]

[...] She said she’d decided to hold the session because she “should” have it—whereas last night’s session had been quite spontaneous: she’d wanted to do it. [...]

[...] It is what he loves to do. [...]

It would do you both good if you took some time to become better acquainted with your own feelings about who you are or what you are, as opposed to who or what you think you should be, and why you think you should be different. [...]

[...] Apparent causes came and went, and would continue to do so had he not—with, my friend, your help and mine—found the master cause.

[...] The pyramid gestalts can do this, and we help the pyramid gestalts perform this feat. [...]

[...] (Smile.) Basically however you see perception has nothing to do with the outer senses at all. [...]

[...] For you do indeed operate as a gestalt also. [...]

[...] “I’ll do what I can about the session,” she said. [...] Seth didn’t go into the first two, but the following material did have to do with reactions to those who wrote us. [...]

[...] He expects himself to do such things, and the minute he gets better, he says, he will go thusly out into the world.

Ruburt decided to brazen it through—to do his thing and be paid for it. [...]

Ruburt became frightened, for example, of out-of-body travel when he began to get it in his head that “all the nuts” were doing it too, and that out-of-body activity involved him in an inner public environment, in which he might meet “all those fools” who were then not bound by physical restraints. [...]

[...] He’s been doing such speaking in trance since the early 1970’s. The literature a fan sent us last week made it seem that the medium claimed to be speaking for Jane’s Seth. [...]

[...] She thought I didn’t want her to call, but I told her to do as she pleased. [...]

[...] The main issue here is that feeling of responsibility again, so that he writes or whatever because he loves to do it, not because he should or must, and that involves my books as well as his own. [...]

[...] You do get what you concentrate upon. [...]

[...] Their behavior follows laws, and their activities, that you do not understand, though you call your thoughts your own. [...] They take the evidence that appears to their senses as reality, as most of you do. [...]

[...] Now surely I do not sound as badly as all that…. [...]

I want to do some dictation, though I may have some comments later, so give us a moment here.

[...] They are the given “natural data,” the raw material of creativity in the realities that you help seed but do not perceive.

[...] He familiarizes himself with the symbolism of his own dreams, and sees how these do or do not correlate with the exterior symbols that appear in the waking life that he shares with others. [...]

[...] The trouble is that many in the sciences do not comprehend that there is an inner reality. [...]

[...] As he does so, he learns that some of these realities nearly coincide with the physical one, that on certain levels events become physical in the future, for example, while others do not. [...]

[...] It seems to you then that objects come from the outside, generally speaking — for after all, do you not make them in your factories and laboratories?

[...] I do not know if this is trial in terms of judgment, or in terms of an attempt, you see.” [...] On the object itself, the word try is used twice in Jane’s notes, having to do with the reader’s attempt to manipulate dreams. [...]

[...] This he did do, though often approaching the same topic or impression in new language. [...]

[...] You perceive but the lowest point of its reality, so I will tell you now that the various stars and planets and heavenly bodies that you observe in your universe do indeed exist as such, but only within your system.

[...] I do not know to what it refers. [...]

[...] Help him to trust the spontaneous self, and as you shall see, these ideas are indeed directly opposite to those of your educations, so do not be impatient.

(To me:) You are doing well and ideas and beliefs are changing places in your mind, to good import. [...]

(Jane read yesterday’s session, doing better than she had the day before. [...]

(Jane did do some movements of various parts of her body. [...]

It is, of course, important that both of you keep your spirits as high as possible—yet be understanding with yourselves when you do become blue, and don’t add new guilt on top of the momentary sadness. [...]

Ruburt’s eyes do continue their progress, and more and more portions of the body are being included in the regenerating program. [...]

[...] This simply has to do with various muscular systems. I mentioned this only so that he understands, and is not disappointed if one day he does exceptionally well, and the next day does not seem to do as well. [...]

[...] He is at this point in a better position than someone with an overweight problem, in that the joints do not have much weight bearing upon them, or fat to smother their mobility.

The vitamins do serve to help in the extra work being done by the body, of repair, although without the change in beliefs they would not be effective. [...]

He is doing well. [...]

[...] To do what we’re supposed to do as well as what we want to do, to finally get it all just right for our individual purposes.

[...] How do I thank all of those thousands and thousands who have written, let alone the millions who have bought books and told others about them? [...]

[...] Let’s keep doing just that. [...]

[...] It is of prime importance then that he not become impatient, continue as he has been doing; and give us a moment.

[...] The body must adjust itself, and is doing so. [...]

[...] the dreams also provide additional assurance, and while dreaming body states are altered—something physicians of course do not recognize. [...]

[...] But in many of your discussions, there has only been surface thought and surface feelings—and we do not walk on the surface in this class. I would push your heads collectively and individually underneath—for you still do not understand that you create your physical reality! [...]

[...] I do not see your party faces—you had them on earlier. [...]

[...] You do not discard a self as you might throw off a coat, but you do have a wardrobe of selves. This happens even in the life you know and recognize, even though you do everything possible to exaggerate the similarities and minimize the differences, so that you always seem to be the self that you have always known.

You do not understand how revolutionary the concept is, and yet it is the only concept that will enable the race not only to fulfill its potential, but to continue its existence.

Man wanted to separate himself from nature, but in so doing lost the animal’s great trust in it. [...]

Do you have any questions?

[...] Their decision has to do with their own problems and solutions. He had nothing to do with making his mother a cripple, nor does his fear, hatred or scorn of her keep her in that condition.

Now in some cases a physical illness is the best solution for various reasons having to do with reincarnational influences, and the inner lack of balance of the personality. [...]

(“What do you see when you look at me?”

I use the mechanism as I find it, and do not tamper with it, for any tampering would be reflected either in advancements that he was not prepared for, or in alterations for which he was not ready.

Many elements separate us, but time and space have little to do with the distances between us. [...]

[...] These are natural to you, but they do not apply to me.

[...] We are not aware of your personal lives in any detail, nor do we completely understand your activities.

[...] Fear we understand, however, as a barrier thrown up in panic; and it is of tremendous force (pause), it’s intensity having nothing to do... [...]

(Again we held the session in our living room, as we used to do. [...]

[...] When Ruburt’s condition is such that a particularly good trance can be achieved, and when the emotional climate surrounding you is advantageous, then we can do much.

[...] If however you consciously do not want a session, and express yourselves in this direction, then no session would be held.

[...] She said the traffic noise bothered her, but that she would make an effort to see that it didn’t continue to do so.

[...] I do not intend, particularly, that this information should be passed on at all. [...]

[...] It has nothing to do with the particular abilities that are being used, per se. [...]

[...] When for fairly long periods there are no witnesses to sessions, then both Ruburt and myself do indeed lean toward unscheduled sessions when informed friends of yours are present. [...]

We will now see what we can do with your envelope. [...]

[...] I am myself … You are death and you are life … Ruburt can do many things that surprise me — that I did not do in my past, for remember that fresh creativity emerges from the past also, as in [Ruburt’s novel] Oversoul Seven. [...] He can do things that did not happen in my memory of that existence, and did not, in fact, occur.” [...]

(2. “The one thing about an ancient existence [like mine], if you will forgive the term, is that old hatreds do not last because you learn to have a sense of humor … Love, on the other hand, even with a sense of humor, becomes highly precious and large enough so that it can contain old hates very nicely.”

(4. Seth also said that it would be “not practical” and “boring” for him to relive his life as a pope, then added: “In those terms, many people do choose to reexperience what you would think of as a past existence in order to change it as they go along.” [...]

[...] They do not vanish when you are finished with your growth there, but serve as a growing media for other personalities.
