“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The authors instead tell you to be positive, compassionate, strong, optimistic, filled with joy and enthusiasm, without telling you what to do to get out of the predicament you may be in, and without understanding the vicious circle that may seem to entrap you. Such books, again, while sometimes of value, do not explain how thoughts and emotions cause reality. They do not take into consideration the multidimensional aspects of the self or the fact that ultimately each personality, while following definite general laws, must still find and follow his or her own way of adapting these to personal circumstances.

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] If you do not like your experience, then you must change the nature of your conscious thoughts and expectations. [...]

If this is the case, then regardless of what you have told yourself thus far, you still do not believe that you are the creator of your own experience. [...]

[...] Will the emotions that propelled me in life continue to do so? [...]

I will answer the questions in those terms also, then; but before I do so, there are several seemingly impractical considerations concerning the nature of life and death, with which we must deal.

[...] So as you are alive in the midst of your own multitudinous small deaths, so though you do not realize it, you are often “dead,” even amid the sparkling life of your own consciousness.

[...] Now, in the same way, atoms and molecules exist so that they are “dead,” or inactive within your system, then alive or active, but you cannot perceive the instant in which they do not exist. [...]

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session, but didn’t do very well. Her pace was halting and hesitant at times, though at other times she would do better. [...]

[...] I told Jane I wanted to copy off separately the paragraph I’d written on page 3 of yesterday’s session, about my efforts to visualize her at home doing various things while walking and sitting—not about how she got there. [...]

[...] “I do have a lot to be thankful for,” Jane said, and I agreed. [...]

[...] “Well, it seems like you must be doing it,” I said. [...]

[...] But her impatience is growing, no doubt about it, and if it continues to do so I’m sure it will bring about — even force — changes in her behavior and attitude. [...] I hope — I expect — that the body will have prepared itself for the changes in routine and motion when they do finally arrive.)

[...] She went back to the session at 2:56, doing a little better, and finished at 3:09.

[...] “I do get feelings while delivering the stuff,” she said, “wondering if I’m giving it the best way — like that material about the fetus not taking its death as a failure, but an experience. [...]

[...] “They’d have to learn to think in new ways, but they could do it. [...]

(Jane was doing well when I got to 330; her catheter is working okay. [...] She said Gail Greene and others told her this morning that the ulcers are all doing much better, and that the two on her right knee, especially the one on the inside, are almost healed. [...]

[...] I began doing mail while Jane started a few motions with her left foot and head and shoulders. [...]

(In between visits by staff people to do her vitals, I rubbed various spots on Jane’s head and neck. [...]

[...] “Do you think the human species is insane?” I asked her. [...]

[...] It is not just that thoughts influence the body, as of course they do; but each one of them represents a triggering stimulus, bringing about hormonal changes and altering the entire physical situation at any given time.

[...] (Emphatically:) They have an invisible existence within your body as surely as viruses do. [...]

[...] You have a natural immunity against all thoughts that do not fit in with your own purposes and beliefs, and naturally (pause, groping), you are “inoculated” with a wholesome trust and belief in your own thoughts above others. [...]

Do you have any questions on that material?

(To my surprise last Friday, October 21, I received a call from an old friend, Bill Ward, with whom I used to do comic books about 1940-2. He asked me to help him, probably on a regular basis, with some work, and I said yes. [...]

[...] There is something that he must still do, that is not done, that will greatly advance his own development.

[...] But I do not believe you are finished with Ward and his friends. [...]

[...] I do not know if this refers to flight plans or not.

[...] Now I ask you, how far do you think a flower would get if in the morning it turned its face toward the sky and said, ‘I demand the sun. [...] But I do not allow the soil any spontaneity of its own. And I do not allow the sun any spontaneity of its own. And I do not agree that the sun knows what it is doing. [...]

“I do not want you to have the attitude that health or status, for example, is automatically an indication of spiritual wealth. … Some of you do well in certain areas and are blocked in others. The ideal is to use all of your abilities, and in doing this you will help others and the race of which you are part automatically.”

[...] Surely you do not identify with a piece of bacon? Then do not identify with your thoughts and emotions. [...]

[...] “Do not forget that you are a part of the inner self. [...] Now, physical illnesses that are not critical but observable—that do not involve, say, loss of a limb or organ— generally represent problems that are in the process of being solved, problems that are “out in the open.’

[...] Now: If this is all you could do from the outside, then how difficult do you think it is for him to encourage himself from the inside?

(12:30 AM.) Since you are talking to Ruburt from your outside, and telling him what to do, when you are not personally saddled in the same way that he is, then how often have you ever reassured him that he could indeed walk properly, get up easily, or joyfully tried to reinforce his confidence?

[...] That is what you must do now.

[...] Do you want to have a pleasant evening of conversation, or do you want to go to bed?

[...] The two exercises I gave you both—do not forget them, either of you.

[...] Do you follow me?

I can do little except to back you up on your advice to Ruburt, because it is so excellent. [...]

[...] At the same time I want her to realize that her body is perfectly capable of taking care of itself, of healing itself, if she will but leave it alone so that it is free to do so.

I do not at this time.

[...] This proved to be the end of the session. I suggested to Jane that she train herself to focus upon external objects while doing things like getting up and down, that had bothered her. [...]

If you do not buy headache potions, your uncle or your neighbor may be out of business and not able to support his family, and therefore lack the means to buy your wares. [...] There is no stratum of society that you do not in one way or another affect. [...]

[...] Having artificially separated yourselves from nature, you do not trust it, but often experience it as an adversary. [...]

[...] Nowhere do any medically-oriented commercial or public service announcements mention the body’s natural defenses, its integrity, vitality, or strength. [...]

[...] On the other hand your common, unlettered, violent television dramas do indeed provide a service, for they imaginatively specify a generalized fear in a given situation, which is then resolved through drama. [...]

[...] What you do is all an expression of yourself and its various aspects. If you do not make artificial divisions, but see the day as your own, and know your intents, then you will find that while doing Dialogues, for example, ideas for paintings will come, and that while thinking of Larry’s (Herschaft) sketches you will also find future paintings coming to mind.

[...] Do you follow me?

You are setting the limitations on your freedom through your ideas, and this to some extent has to do with old ideas you thought you had grown out of, about deadlines. [...]

[...] The dream had to do with the fact that for some reason I was to be executed, by painless injection. I do not know why. [...]

[...] But he would do it nevertheless, so you felt. [...] You did not see how he could do this to you.

[...] She was fully grown, dressed as though in the summertime; someone else was on the swing with her, but I do not know who. [...]

On this level therefore, the three most important of these dreams are related: the two regarding your brother, and the dream that had to do with execution by needle, a painless one, to be carried out by your father.

[...] But each moment must be valuable in itself, whatever you do with it.

[...] You were “using” time as your cultural training told you to do.

Do you want a break?

All of that can be transferred to other areas of your lives, and in particular to Ruburt’s [physical] difficulties, I do understand your joint concern, and in holding the session I know you want specific answers — which I always give to the best of my ability.

I do not know what to do with you. We learned what spices would do way before the present generation got hung up on grass, and we sniffed oregano on the high seas, and we got high on the high seas sniffing oregano. [...]

[...] You can tune in to certain probabilities and predict “that they will occur,” but free will always operates and no god in giant ivory figures says, this will happen February 15th at 8:05 and if no god predicts, then I do not see the point of doing so myself. [...]

[...] You do not trust your own. [...] You do not weave them, necessarily alone, you weave them together. [...]

[...] In our sessions I have explained something that I have not mentioned in class and it is this— for every moment of time that you seem to exist in this universe, you do not exist in it. The atoms and molecules have a pulsating nature that you do not usually perceive so what seems to you to be a continuous atom or molecule is, indeed, a series of pulsations that you cannot keep track of. [...]

[...] You do not feel that they are as much a part of your self as your other work. You do not feel that they tell as much about you, or that they contain self-revelations.

There is no particular reason why you should do women unless you want to. I am not telling you in other words to do so. [...]

[...] You do not dare allow your intuitions full reign even when you paint at such times for fear that they will carry up with them these repressed feelings.

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] I do not know... There is a connection, something to do with lights. [...]

Also something to do with a federal matter. [...] Perhaps the round object in his hands has something to do with lights, as a bulb. [...]

[...] For this reason also they have more telepathic and clairvoyant dreams than do adults. [...]

They are actually more conscious of their dreams, for the ego does not prevent awareness at this stage to the same degree that it will do later.

[...] I can do no more. Nor at this point could I do less. [...]

(“Do you think I was sounding off earlier, when I talked about doing some great work painting?)

[...] Do you have questions now?

(“What do you think of the book he’s been working on?”)

[...] I do not want to put it in such a way that it is oversimplified. Neither do I want it to get too involved in too many complications.

[...] Something to do with fish, and another journey. I do not know here: A mine tapping, or mine trapping incident, and an embargo. [...]

[...] Now you do not force someone to write such a letter, you see. [...]

Separate now, something to do with mines, navy and a war. [...]
