“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Such an exercise will also clear up other issues, and in areas that you do not suspect. Can I count on you both then to face the challenge, and do what I suggested?

The cold, beyond that, is also symbolic in that his bout with the other symptoms had to do to some degree with being out in the cold—out of it.

[...] These have to do on both of your parts with ideas of spontaneity and communication. [...]

As there are portions of reality that you do not consciously perceive, and other systems of probability of which you are not consciously aware, so also are there aspects of primary godhood that you cannot at this moment comprehend. [...]

[...] [This is usually the case when I don’t take notes.] One such point had to do with Seth’s statement that whenever a person thinks strongly about another person, a portion of the “thinker” goes out to the “thought-subject,” etc.

Our two sessions should always be maintained, with the class sessions added as long as they do not drain Ruburt’s resources. [...]

Do you have questions?

[...] She said that now she will often do things she doesn’t like to do, but could not explain when I tried to learn more. [...]

(This time we had our windows completely shielded by curtains, as Malba had requested we do in the first session with her. [...]

[...] She doesn’t know how she gets around; for instance, she will find herself doing something without knowing how or why she started it.

[...] If you want something to do, sometime, I will do a quickie for you—say four nights a week, of questions and answers—and I will even provide the questions.

[...] Those that followed him pretended to themselves not to know what they were doing. [...]

Do you have questions?

[...] But you do not know some important facts.

[...] She had been aware of leaving her rocker to sit opposite me at the table, where she remained until break, and had been surprised at her doing so.

Do you have an envelope for me?

[...] I do not know if this refers to stern as severe, or stern as a ship.

[...] “It is much easier if your theories fit reality, but if they do not, then you do not change the nature of reincarnation one iota.” [...]

[...] Seth smiled and said, “Now, now, do not sniffle. [...] I usually do not have that effect on people.”

[...] One had to do with the kind of body Sally had at her disposal. [...]

[...] In our own way we do use prayer—but in a highly creative, unstructured, unconventional manner. [...]

Now: do you have any questions?

I do have a note. [...]

[...] It he could not “do it” in the medical manner, and if he could not “do it” on his own, then where was he? [...]

[...] Maybe we could go back to using the term “symptoms,” like we used to do.)

[...] Its “verbs” really move, and do not simply signify, or stand for, motion (emphatically).

In the same manner, when you ask: “Is there a master language?” it is apparent that you do not understand what language itself is. [...]

[...] “So what do I call the book?” she asked. [...]

[...] I do not know whether either of the incidents is the one he referred to, or whether the correct one still lies in the future.

[...] This is not to say that structure does not exist within the dream universe, for structures of a mental or psychic nature do exist. [...]

In this way you may be able to perceive the manners in which it is transformed into other fields that do not involve matter as you know it.

Your own universe expands as an idea expands, in ways that have nothing to do with space.

(She’s been sleeping in the mornings because I haven’t called her at 6:15 when I get up, but starting tomorrow she plans to get up with me so we have enough time through the day to do more things. [...]

So we must now show Ruburt the source of the Sinful Self to begin with, and convince him that such is not his natural self at all and to do so we will to some extent at least go into his early background. [...]

[...] I only know, meanwhile, that what we have been doing so far has led to results that we fear. [...]

(“What do you think about the idea of one step at a time with the typing table each day?”)

[...] Electricity as you perceive it within your field, is merely an echo emanation, or a sort of shadow image of these infinite varieties of pulsations, which give reality and actuality to many phenomena with which you are familiar, but which do not appear as tangible objects within the physical system.

We run into difficulties, for I do not speak of denseness as you probably think of it. [...]

The gradations of intensities are so minute that it would be impossible to measure them, and yet each field contains in coded form the actual living reality of endless eons; contains therefore what you would call the past, present and future of unnumbered universes; contains the actual coded data of any and every consciousness that has been or will be, in any universe; those that have appeared to vanish, and those which seemingly do not yet exist.

[...] I had tried to quickly cut a paper tape to use in measuring the circumferences of my fingers, but before I could do this the sensation disappeared.

[...] I’ve managed to turn my thoughts away from such worries rather successfully lately, yet when they do return they can’t but help cause concern, so conditioned are we toward anything unusual about the body’s behavior representing a state of illness or unease. [...]

You do not need to be consciously familiar with all the details connected with Ruburt’s condition in order for him to heal himself. [...]

[...] To do so is not advantageous. [...]

[...] I do not want to anticipate such communications, because Ruburt needs the direct encounter, so to speak. [...]

[...] Avenues of probabilities are closed bit by bit until you do indeed live — if you follow such precepts — in a closed mental environment, in which it seems you are powerless. [...]

[...] That voice might tell him to commit any of a number of nefarious actions — to assassinate the enemies that stand in the way of his great ideal — and it might seem to him and to others that he has a natural impulse to kill, and indeed an inner decree from God to do so.

How can you trust your impulses when you read, for example, that a man commits a murder because he has a strong impulse to do so, or because the voice of God commanded it? [...]

How do your impulses affect your future experience, and help form the practical world of mass reality?

[...] It has gradually let itself fit in now, let itself integrate, and in so doing the body has been relived of symptoms.

[...] He saw both personalities as frozen, finally, and he thought: if spontaneity and discipline are both false roads, then where do I go? [...]

[...] This does not mean that he pretend they do not exist.

The erroneous attitudes had much to do with the difficulties. [...]

Then I will return you to your pussycat — who is doing exactly what you want him to do — both of you.

(Although we hated to do it, Jane and I have finally arranged to have an unlisted telephone number. [...]

[...] So unknowingly, now, portions of your consciousness mix and merge with those of other species without jarring your own sense of individuality one whit — yet forming other psychological realities upon which you do not concentrate.

(Louder:) Do you have any questions?

[...] Your thoughts propel you toward survival and growth also, and in the same way that your cells do. [...] Your thoughts multiply even as your cells do. [...]

[...] It may seem that psychological events have the same kind of structure, since after all you do perceive them in time.

[...] They are events that are what they seem to be, and they are equally events that do not “immediately” show themselves. [...]

[...] The exercises I will suggest have to do with games “that anybody can play,” then — with the natural joyful manipulation of the imagination that children employ.

[...] Animals do not read or write books, but they do “read” nature directly through the context of their own experience, and through intuitive knowing. [...]

(Pause.) Man serves his purposes within nature, as all species do, and in the terms of your understanding man “thinks” in his own way, but he is also the thinking portion of nature. [...]

[...] Now the people might finally revolt, or they will take certain steps to see that their freedom is restored, and so the body’s cells will do the same.

[...] And do not be so knuckle-headed when you are dreaming. [...]

[...] Remember that when you go to sleep at night; remember the colors that you see—for you do see them and you can paint them. [...]

And to some extent, though I am here, you will at times project that idea of a god upon me, though I do indeed go out of my way to give evidence, at least evidence of grace and humor. [...]

[...] And are in the process of doing. [...]

[...] Now (smiling:) You do not need to put in my first now’s. (But I had already done so.)

[...] Again at the risk of repeating myself: Many of your problems result from the fact that you do not accept the responsibility of your own consciousness. [...]

When you do not embrace this conscious knowledge, but refuse it, you are not using one of the finest “tools” ever created by your species, and you are to a large extent denying your birthright and heritage.

(Most intently:) When this happens, the species by default must fall back upon vestiges of old instincts — that were not geared to operate in conjunction with a conscious reasoning mind, and do not comprehend your experience; that finds your “moment of reflection” an impertinent denial of impulse.
