“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Your ideas of rustic simplicity do not match your feelings about dedication to work. Ruburt’s ideas of owning a house do not match his ideas of dedication to work. [...]

[...] I bid you a fond good evening, but unless you do what I have said, and until you do, we will not have another private session, for you will not be ready for it.

Your decision not to go to Florida had little to do with the energy crisis. [...]

[...] You do not buy much furniture so that the idea of being transitory is more convincing. [...]

[...] His physical problems to some extent—do not overemphasize this point—put him in the role of the dependent woman. [...]

[...] Ruburt has been doing well and is heading in the proper directions, particularly with the ideas of effortlessness and informal self-hypnosis. [...]

[...] You do not need your body then to make such a statement for you. [...]

[...] I do not want to overemphasize this either, but they will offer alternatives to more and more people who are caught between the growing fervor of fundamentalism, that comes about with the disenchantment with science. [...]

Do not tell her of our sessions as yet. (Pause.) I am not clear here—there is something to do with bread. [...]

Also a connection with a small child, female, perhaps age 6. I do not know, a niece or sister perhaps. [...] (Jane shook her head.) I do not know the meaning of this impression, unless she has one name and uses another. [...]

Your confidence in him is important here, for he still harbors Irish superstitions having to do with contacting the dead. [...]

[...] If students do drop out they will be replaced, for his energies are being properly, and you may tell him, most effectively used, in the classes themselves.

[...] Cordellas do not have the same rigidity. [...] Do you follow the connections?

[...] Alphabets do not change, or you would consider them relatively useless. Cordellas, as I told you, do change. [...]

[...] Now: Do you have any questions on the material just given?

Do you follow me?

Now I will shortly leave you, but before I do there is something I would like you to try. [...] Therefore, you do not have to worry that what energy you use is, therefore, denied you in the future so open up the doors within yourselves. [...]

And those blessings that I have to give I do, indeed, give to you, and those blessings that I do not have to give, as usual, you will have to seek on your own. [...]

[...] Out of humility I do not speak of myself. [...]

If you can sway others so easily then what is there to them after all, for you know who you are and what you are and you do not think you are all that great. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) An animal in Ruburt’s physical condition would simply be resting, perceiving body alterations and odd states with patient acquiescence, doing what it could physically and forgetting about the rest, trustful in the body’s capacities to heal itself. [...] He depends upon creativity, for example, as you do, to provide a more or less steady source of enjoyment, excitement, personal accomplishment—not to mention livelihood —and as per last evening’s session, creativity operates in ways that may appear uncertain. [...]

[...] “The thought of adding rooms makes me shudder,” I laughed—“not that we might not do it....” [...] Right now, though, she’s much more interested in once again feeling well enough to start doing some typing, writing, or whatever. [...]

[...] We didn’t try the table today, but she did do the healing energy thing, and evidently with some success: She’s to write a description of it to insert in the pendulum notebook. [...]

[...] I also plan to do the same procedure with Jane and perhaps others.

In Dreams (recently) Ruburt tried to assess his psychic experiences, and could not do it. In Adventures he will be able to do so.

[...] I have told you this before: there is much not yet given as yet in the book, that you do not understand.

[...] You cannot do it for him, but you can help or impede his progress.

(9:43.) Now I have friends even as you do, though my friends may be of longer standing. You must understand that we experience our own reality in quite a different manner than you do. [...]

[...] As you will see, this analogy is a rather simple one that will do only for now, because past, present, and future do not really exist in those terms.

[...] We have far more friends and associates than you do, simply because we are aware of varying connections in what we call for now “past” incarnations.

We do not feel the need to hide our emotions or thoughts from others, because all of us by now well recognize the cooperative nature of all consciousness and reality, and our part in it. [...]

(11:10.) I do not want you to put Ruburt’s normal walking in some indistinct distant future. On the other hand, I do not want to tell you it can happen tomorrow, because I do not want you to concentrate upon it. [...]

[...] Do not try to program the improvements. The descriptions given by James in the later part of the book actually apply very well to the creative medium of Framework 2, for your needs are anticipated and automatically provided for, if, again, you do not impede them through contrary beliefs.

In a manner of speaking, the man’s feet touch the ground but they do not touch the fire. [...]

You do not seem to understand the importance of your organizations, particularly your habitual biological ones, for they dictate the ways in which you examine your reality, and they program also your biological reaction in very practical ways.

[...] You insist that the names be neatly placed, and yet often the inner self has great difficulty in this regard, for names simply do not matter. [...]

[...] Basically speaking, relationships are far more important, and these you do not forget.

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] The particular likes and dislikes of any given personality will also have much to do with the descriptions given of a particular reincarnational episode.

[...] It is not that certain answers do not lie openly accessible, therefore, but that often you have set yourself on a course of action in which you believe, and you do not want to open yourself to any material that may contradict your current beliefs.

(9:50.) Usually when you do examine your conscious mind you do so looking through, or with, your own structured beliefs. [...]

[...] In so doing you never think of looking for it in the conscious mind, since you are convinced that all deep answers lie far beneath — and, moreover, that your consciousness is not only unable to help you but will often send up camouflages instead. [...]

[...] One would do as well as another.

In your field of art you could do better now than he is in science fiction, since you are more sure of how you get your effects, and he is still not. [...] On the one hand you fear making too much money, while consciously you fear not making enough, for the energy expanded; and I do mean expanded, rather than extended.

(“Do you mean carried out?”)

The emotions indeed do form the expectations, and it is not the other way around.

If you became wealthy, you would then be in danger of losing your ability, since in your realm of expectation ability of this nature and wealth do not exist simultaneously. [...]

(Pause.) In your world you travel from one country to another, and you do not expect them to be all alike. Instead, you visit various parts of the world precisely because of the differences among them — so all out-of-body-journeys do not lead to the same locale.

There are techniques for using cameras,¹ and a camera left at home will do you little good abroad. [...] There are many ways of doing this, methods not really difficult to follow. [...]

[...] Private desires here are magnified as they are felt by others, or minimized accordingly, so that in the overall, large general plans are made having to do with the species at any given “time.” [...]

[...] Beyond, there are layers of actuality in which your psyche is also highly involved, and these may or may not appear to have anything to do with the world that you know.

[...] Do not strain. On the other hand, do explore the entire field of vision simultaneously. [...] What odors do you perceive?

[...] We have spoken of probable man, hinted at probable civilizations, and mentioned alternate systems of actuality.² Yet these do not exist completely apart from the world that you know, or entirely cut off from the psyche. [...]

[...] You cannot know when you are in focus with another reality if you do not even realize what it feels like to be in full focus with your own. [...]

[...] Many of you do not pay attention to your own experience, subjectively speaking, so you drift in and out of clear focus in this reality, barely realizing it. [...]

I do not need a permission slip. [...] Do you need the permission of your writing self in order to paint?

[...] An individual may be swept by certain emotional patterns and then thrust them aside, and come under the influence of other emotional patterns, so nations do the same. [...]

[...] Those who point the finger now however know, in one respect, that they have the right to do so since you are the ones who have set forth the ideals of peace and brotherhood. [...]

I do not need permission to speak. [...]

Now, I could continue along these lines for quite some time, and I am perfectly willing to do so, for your edification rather than my own. If you prefer that we do this while it is fresh in our minds, then take a break and we shall continue. And if not, do not ask me leading questions, and we shall end the session. [...]

His hypnosis experiments are not doing as well as he hoped, as far as other parties are concerned. They have to do with direct stimuli, applied through hypnosis at a distance; and there is a connection in his mind with myself here, and those experiments.

[...] I do not know which matter to discuss first. [...]

[...] During break I jokingly began to speak aloud my own impressions of what Peg and Bill were doing at the moment. [...]

[...] I pick up a connection with a pair of shoes, though I do not know to what this refers, and a fence or border; an enclosure of that kind. Also a departure having to do with an automobile, and perhaps a place with much water.

(Seth’s impressions do appear to be far-ranging, in connection with the old bureau and its label. [...] We do not know how much he can help, since he has owned our apartment house but a few years.

[...] Emotions, having their own reality within this system, do not affect physical matter indirectly, but cause specific electromagnetic changes within the physical organism.

These dreams go unrecognized by the conscious ego; but they do not go unrecorded by the inner self, and they therefore exist, and they form electromagnetic channels of their own to which—make that by which—the physical body itself is affected. [...]

[...] “My body wants to do it so bad.” [...] I don’t know what to do with it, it feels funny.” [...]

[...] But I’d never do that again, even in this reality. [...] I want to do so very badly, so I’m trusting that the way will be shown. [...]

[...] I don’t want to do any more.” [...]

(The lunch tray was there and Jane ate very well; she’s doing much better with the teeth. [...]

[...] I was conscious of doing this, and that it took some little time, yet felt no urge to prod myself wide awake. [...] I do intend making a drawing, in color, for those who may be interested.

[...] If you direct your inner self with confidence to steer you through your physical existence, it will do so. If you concentrate upon difficulties you will not allow it to do so. [...]

(I realized on this particular evening that although my eyes were closed, I was staring into another pair of eyes that seemed to be within inches of my own, and had been doing so for some seconds. [...]

The point of such contact can indeed be mathematically shown, and in the future I shall do just that. [...]

[...] It is very important, again, that he follow his inclinations—for overall, when he feels like doing nothing but relaxing, this is what body and mind both need at that point. When he feels like motion, as tonight in the parking area, that is the correct thing to do. [...]

[...] This time it is not a matter of doing as well as he can with bent arms and legs, but instead the work involves the correction of those difficulties to begin with. [...]

[...] The body knows what it is doing. [...]

[...] New mental impetus will initiate new physical impetus, so do not be impatient.
