“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] His creativity showed itself, however, when he allowed himself to play, when he forgot what he thought he should do, and did what he wanted to do. [...]

[...] What can its thoughts do? [...] Where do its thoughts go? [...]

When you do, your behavior is actually self-correcting, and if you understand that you will see that some behavior that appears contradictory is instead quite simply creative corrective activity. When you do not understand that, then you can become bewildered, thinking “Why did such-and-such work last week and not this week?”

But the conflicts can dissolve in a synthesis of understanding, in which case the problems do indeed vanish. [...] You are free, then, to do as you prefer, if you realize that. [...]

[...] You do not have to contact them one by one in Framework 2. The book itself is like a magnet—any book. [...] (Pause.) You still —and I do not simply mean you two alone—do not feel the unsurpassable force that thoughts have. You do not understand that they do form events, that to change events you must first change thoughts. [...]

I want you both to remember that you are learning a new kind of orientation, and ideas directly opposed to those with which you were “inoculated”—so do not blame yourselves for inadequacies. Do not disapprove of yourselves. Do not compare yourselves to what you think you should do or be. [...]

(For the moment I’d forgotten the notes I wrote concluding the last session, deleted for November 12, having to do with Seth suggesting we throw our hassles with Prentice and foreign publishers into Framework 2; I’d written that I didn’t know whether or not I was capable of doing that at this time. [...]

Now: When you concentrate mainly (underlined) in Framework 1 and its communications with Prentice, then while overall you do achieve results of a beneficial nature—the publication and distribution of the books in a largely adequate form—there are glaring discrepancies also: entanglements that you do not like because you have taken your intent from Framework 2, where the creative event began, and placed it into Framework 1’s communication system almost entirely. [...]

[...] This is exactly what you are doing every day of your life in your normal hours of activity but you do not recognize the symbols. [...]

[...] You do not know the symbols for yourselves but you can discover what they are, and I will expect you all to do so. [...]

Because there are millions of people upon the earth who would rather have someone speak and tell them what to do, rather than do it for themselves, that is why. [...]

Now, (to Natalie) someone was trying to speak to you this evening and you have been doing very well. [...]

[...] But I do not feel that I could be myself as easily if you tried automatic writing, for example. I do not mind speaking through Ruburt’s mouth. [...]

I do intend to go into all the inner senses in a very detailed manner but tonight is not the time. Ruburt would also do well to try for inner visions. [...]

I am not necessarily in favor of sessions outside a regular schedule, for reasons having to do with your natures rather than mine.

My remark about the lively arts had to do with the method of communication we use at the present time. [...]

[...] As you are all used to saying, you must do your own thing in your own way. [...] He thinks of vitality in different ways than you do, but he uses it very well. [...] And when the speakers speak to each of you in the dream state and in your private hours then they do not need words. [...] Do not close them down. [...]

[...] I do not want our friend here (Martin Crocker) to feel as he feels that he is cramping your style. [...] There is an incident in your life, and it did indeed have to do with the use of inner perception. [...]

[...] You have the tendency to rest after you have been doing well for a time, but the period of rest is over. Now your periods do not always match. [...]

(After break.) All right now, the experiment that began some time ago is still in operation and the visitors that come here do not come here by chance alone. [...]

[...] You do indeed have to change all of your assumptions—and while living in a world that seems to work by different rules than yours—nor can you as yet make all of your own rules work, so to speak. Only here or there do you see a window of insight, a clearing of the fog. [...]

[...] I would like you to try to feel the energy of Framework 2 in your daily lives, by reminding yourselves of its existence rather frequently—and again, by looking for hints and clues of its existence, for when you do they appear. When you do not, it can seem as if you are locked in Framework 1. Look to all events then, and for their interweaving quality.

[...] I also wanted to do some pendulum work with Jane, and wanted to understand the situation before we started with her. [...]

[...] When your mind is confused, and when you are quite concerned over a given problem, then you do not dip down far enough, say, into the psychic level.

(“Do you want to do that now or would you rather wait?”

[...] You do not have to take hordes into your house. On the other hand all stages of relationships are necessary, and a casual give and take between you and friends will expand your spirit in ways that neither you nor Jane personally can do alone. [...]

When I refer back to myself or back to what I have said in an earlier session, I do not expend an identical amount of time in doing so. [...]

(“Do you have friendships on your plane, as we do here?”)

Any such signs involve camouflage patterns and do not actually represent direct experience. [...] Furthermore in your terms I do not have a voice. [...]

[...] What you consider weather has little to do with whether or not I have weather on my level. I do not have rain, or snow, although I can experience rain or snow if I desire.

[...] It has something to do with him but also something to do with the development of your own abilities.

I do not believe so. [...] I do think, though in a somewhat different fashion, and one that you will find extremely interesting. [...]

[...] If you really do not care about the satisfactions they do not matter. [...]

Ruburt is hardly able to do housework. He does not want to do it. [...]

[...] Now with people who have many other sources of amusement, occupation, family gatherings and social episodes, such things do not have such meaning. [...] Do you follow me?

Now that you are here the relevance is important, but you do not have the built-up accumulation. [...] Now you do not understand how both of your attitudes were affected, as the house itself changed and as it changed hands.

[...] You avoided the kind of direct confrontation that would have resulted had you said, for example “I do not believe your spirit,” or “I do not believe he could do thus and so.” Your whole attitude showed the young man, however, that he was the one who must examine his own beliefs, and without immediately panicking him you showed by inference your own belief that his delusion was doing him considerable harm.

[...] Again, it is difficult to say what I want to while still trying to avoid contradictions at your end—and yet it seldom occurs to you that you might just possibly be doing exactly what you were meant to do, or that you are in exactly the right place and time and circumstances.

Yet in a way you each do the same thing, taking it for granted as a fact of existence that there is something wrong with each of you. [...]

It seldom occurs to you that you might be fulfilling your purposes quite beautifully despite all of your convictions—for they are indeed convictions—that you are not doing so, or that in some way or another each of you should be different in important ways than you are.

Now see what you can do with the acceleration now and how far you can follow it. [...] Then sense the acceleration, and see what you can do with it and use it in your own way for the voice is also a symbol of that acceleration as well as the energy. [...]

I do not want these two newcomers over here to feel left out, so I will say welcome to both of you. [...]

[...] Do you follow me? [...]

You did indeed, but do not be so intent upon putting a symbolic meaning upon the crocodile for it was quite real. [...]

[...] For this will short-circuit some of your hang-ups as far as painting is concerned and will lead to new spontaneous painting power (humorously). You will also consider it a work of merit, and you will be doing your own thing with your experience. [...] I suggest that you do up a prospectus, an outline, and some few beginning pages — say a chapter or so.

Now: This book will be a good advertisement for the later book that I will do — and if you insert what I have told you in the book I am doing now, people will already begin to look forward to your book.

[...] You should go into your own ideas about the people you paint, and why, being fascinated with portraits, you often do not use models.

[...] Neither of us have been thinking of such a project, which isn’t to say the idea of my doing a book involving Seth, at least in part, hasn’t occurred to me occasionally.

[...] I was most concerned that we be able to maintain the financial status quo while Jane was showing so many improvements, along with the promise of doing even better. All we want to do now is to get out of the hospital. [...]

(Then when Jan was helping Jane with her dental chores this morning, she noticed that Jane’s hands were working better—Jane even automatically reached out to hold a cup to her lips that ordinarily the staff people had to do before. [...]

[...] I worked with mail while Jane tried to read the session, but she had trouble doing so, and was very slow at it. [...]

[...] I often do this on my way out, for I can see my car out there where I usually park. [...]

[...] In many cases however you do not ask, but have a tendency to command her. [...] You can do much to change this.

[...] She does not want to dominate him through feminine wiles, and yet subconsciously she feels driven to do so.

She fears, for one thing, that you could run the house more efficiently than she can, and basically that you do not need her. [...]

However, in the main you are doing two things wrong. [...]

[...] She did say her panicky feelings had to do with the session about her mother Marie yesterday, and a dream she’d had last night. [...] I don’t know what I’m doing,” she cried, when I asked her if she was thinking about Marie.

[...] Carla had said last night when she called that Jane was still doing the motions she’d begun yesterday. [...] When the motions had started up, Jane had asked her to leave, since she hadn’t wanted to do the motions in front of someone else.

[...] I’ll do the best I can … I don’t know if I can … All right, I’ll try.” [...]

[...] The mysterious, creative healing energies do sustain him. [...]

I told you that we do not experience your time sequence. [...] In so doing I immediately experience — and fully — your past, present, and future (in your terms), and all of those strong or determining emotions and motivations that have ruled you. [...]

[...] We do not do this lightly, however.

Now: Since we realize that our identity is not dependent upon form, therefore, of course, we do not fear changing it, knowing that we can adopt any form we desire.

We do not know death in your terms. [...]

[...] And all the time we talked I couldn’t help but just miss, just fail to understand exactly why she was doing what she was doing. [...]

[...] It’s all gone now except for her lying in bed, and she can’t even do that in peace these days. [...] She said she doesn’t use it or do any reading because of the longer sessions.

(At the end of her outburst about reading, Jane ended up by saying something important — that her failure to read was another example of her doing something wrong — “And that’s what we’re talking about, isn’t it? All those things I’m doing wrong?” Too true. [...]

[...] When Jeff called I was reading the last portion of the first session in Jane’s book, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events — for April 18, 1977, in connection with a note I’m doing for Dreams. [...]

I do not mean that Ruburt should not read the material, but he should not read it immediately before a session. [...] I do use much of his subconscious knowledge. I do draw upon the knowledge of his own inner ego. He is helping me very much as it is, but please, Ruburt, do not meddle. [...]

[...] As I mentioned earlier I am extremely leery about trying to get predictions through to you, and therefore at this point I do not try. I do not want to be blamed for any distortions that might arise, though at a later time Ruburt will be able to get this sort of material through without such distortion.

[...] Many on my plane do teach, or try to teach, using such a fashion. It is one of my personal peculiarities that I do not approve of this educational device.

[...] These opportunities exist theoretically, and yet for particular personalities do not exist for all practical purposes. [...]

[...] Some few people in your world expect to work productively through their 90’s at hard work, and do so. Not because hard work keeps them alive and healthy, but because their beliefs do. [...] They do not think their bodies are out to get them. [...]

[...] By session time they were somewhat diminished, but were very inhibiting during the day, making me hesitate to do the things I’d ordinarily do without a second thought, such as drive to the post office to mail Jane’s intro for Sue’s book Conversations With Seth. [...]

He understands the nature of death, as in their way all animals do, but he does not understand frightening pictures of imagined illnesses that do not exist in his present, or worries about death that is not as yet to be encountered. [...]

[...] I told her to do as she pleased; I hadn’t asked her to have Seth say anything about me. [...]
