“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is natural for a child to be curious about suffering, to want to know what it is, to see it—and by doing so he (or she) learns to avoid the suffering he does not want, to help others avoid suffering that they do not want, and to understand, more importantly, the gradations of emotion and sensation that are his heritage. [...]

I feel sometimes as if I am expected to justify life’s conditions, when of course they do not need any such justification.

You forget many of your quite natural inclinations, feelings, and inner fantasies as you mature into adults, because they do not fit into the picture of the kind of people, or experience, or species you have been taught to believe you are. [...]

The thoughts of children give excellent clues as to mankind’s nature, but many adults do not remember any childhood thoughts except those that fit, or seem to fit, in with their beliefs about childhood.

[...] “I felt like when I got slow there a couple of times that it didn’t have anything to do with dozing off,” she said, referring to a few longer pauses. [...] “It was more than I thought I could do,” she said, “but I really got worried tonight when I started dozing off like that.” I replied that all along I’d felt she could do more than she’d thought she could, and such had been the case.

[...] [The contract was countersigned on March 22.] “Don’t worry,” I said to Jane in the hospital, “I know who’s going to do the rest of the work on the book....” [...]

[...] Just as I was about to give up for this evening, Jane came awake again and said rather firmly, “I’ve passed a certain point, Bob, and now I can do it....” [...]

Therefore, a kind of momentary gap appeared between his life and his living of it—a pause and a hesitation (pause) became obvious between his life and what he would do with it, as his condition showed just before the hospital hiatus. [...]

[...] Not having children, you do not have that constant steady interrelationship with others in which you are brought back always to the immediacy of the moment. [...]

[...] I do not want him to think in terms of absolutes. [...]

[...] The inner self knows what it is doing. [...]

I do not mean this will be a long drawn-out process either, but one in which he tastes freedom gradually, is not frightened but steadily encouraged, and in which there will be no backslidings, but understandings at all levels of body-mind relationships.

[...] All of this has to do with the nature of existence and personality, for your personality directly affects your plants. [...] So smoothly and yet so constantly do these effects change as personalities come and go that your universe as it seems to you, seems to continue to exist.

[...] He did not know why he had the writing ability, nor what he was to do with it. He will work out the best way of doing this, for it will be a natural development, an alchemy, resulting from the nature of his own writing talents, which are considerable, his own intuitions, and the material. [...]

[...] They are doing subconsciously what came naturally, attempting to form, as always, their own physical construction. [...]

In one of our earliest sessions I told you that trees have consciousness, and that consciousness resided within all things, as the plants within this room to some extent are aware of you, and the happenings here, can sense strangers, and can strongly sense emotional and psychic atmospheres, to which they do indeed react. [...]

[...] All identities do not choose physical existence. All identities do not have to be physical at any quote “time.”

[...] Do not let it bother you that you do not have a name.

[...] These communications, in your terms, quite simply act as boundaries, though the boundaries as you know do not really exist.

The coordinates have nothing to do with time as you know it, nor with space as you know it, though in your system they form the reality in which time and space appear. [...]

[...] In some of your dream states you do travel through other dimensions and other systems. [...]

[...] With time you and Ruburt would do well indeed to set up experiments in which you try to contact each other while you are in the dream state. [...]

[...] Take advantage of them when they happen within the dream state, but at this time do not attempt any such endeavor from the trance state. [...]

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

He knew that he would never do this. [...] It is impossible for his personality therefore to do anything he feels (underlined) would hurt the one person in the world with whom he feels close.

[...] I have done my best, and yet I highly regret I could do so little. [...]

This contest between you had much to do with Ruburt’s fear in obtaining reincarnational material that could perhaps be checked. [...]

Now Ruburt has said, and I have said, do not blame yourself, and this is valid in those terms. [...]

It may not exist in space but it exists in some dimension as a form, and all forms have structure; and so dream images have structure and form, although they do not exist in your space. And so I have a structure and a form, although I do not exist in your space.

[...] For in the dream state the personality is molded and changed through actions that do not exist within the physical universe. [...]

My form may be changed, but so do you change the form of your own thoughts. [...]

We will now see what we can do. [...]

The question however, in what dimensions do dream locations exist, was simply based. [...] Do you remember some of the material that I gave concerning the expanding universe?

I said then that the universe expands in a way that has nothing to do with space. [...] A dream location exists, contracts or expands also in a way that has nothing to do with space as you understand it.

[...] He has taken it for granted that dream locations do not exist within physical space.

[...] You perceive certain patterns of energy as solid objects, and that energy which you do not perceive as solid, you call space.

[...] Some, and a large amount, of this energy passes through the physical field so that you do not perceive it at all, taking form that you do not distinguish, and that cannot be harnessed on the physical level. [...]

[...] Do not feel that you take advantage of me. I do not speak of Ruburt, of course.

[...] That period, signifying what we do not know, begins today. [...]

[...] Their expansion is not limited by any of your known, or misinterpreted, laws of space or time or thermodynamics, since they exist in a dimension where such laws simply do not apply.

(“I do want to do both.”)

You are, as he is, wondering how you will do what you want to, on your part—your painting, the book, renewed regular sessions, and regular chores. [...]

[...] Do you have more questions?

[...] Perhaps it envelops me, but I do not fall asleep or lose myself in nothingness. [...] I seem to fade into a distance that has nothing to do with space but more to do with psychological focus. [...]

[...] We have become involved in the keenest of adventures in which ordinary obstructions do not exist while the usual suppositions of physical life do not apply.

To some extent, I do this in each Seth session — lay aside my usual consciousness. A strange letting-go that I still do not understand is necessary along with a simple but profound trust. [...]

[...] Such a tremendous amount of energy surged through me that I didn’t know what to do. [...]

[...] You do not experience your century simply from one separate vantage point, and the individuals alive in any given century have far deeper connections than you realize. (Intently:) You do not experience your space-time world, then, from one but from many viewpoints.

[...] Various races do not simply “happen,” and diverse cultures do not just appear. [...]

[...] Before I could do so, however, I had another experience with psychic perceptions three days later — on November 16 — that led to more questions. [...]

Here, however, the “reflections” do indeed speak, and take their own form. [...]

Physically, you do not exist for as long as, or the same amount of your time, that you do exist. [...]

[...] You do not see, feel, smell or touch the same object. I will shock you further by stating that, in your terms, the objects do not even exist in the same space, but in the personal self-perspective space, formed and created by any given individual.

The predicament will, indeed, involve the man with whom she is presently connected, and will have to do with a renewed dependence upon those drugs which he had been so dependent upon at one time. [...]

[...] I do not anticipate any great difficulty for you on that date, but an unpleasantness could definitely arise. [...]

[...] 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 hope to stress what to do, rather than what not to do, although at times I must make the distinction clear.

[...] I’ve experienced these phenomena often in personal sessions, and each time end up resolving to do better next time — to see more clearly, to do all of those things that will easily and effortlessly bring the desired results. [...]

[...] You, however, and Ruburt, do have evidence that hardbed reality is quite different. [...]

As a rule they do not, unless they touch upon the points mentioned above. Or when they do.

[...] They had to do with Seth speaking through Jane in her lifetime; with my help, etc.

[...] Do you have other questions now along this line?

(“Do you mean for Chapter 20?”)

[...] Though if I do not return do not be discouraged, as, again, I am working in line with those rhythms of which I have spoken. [...]

[...] Trust the body, I thought to myself as I drove home: It knows what it’s doing, and how to do it, without any help from “us.” [...]

[...] This time, also, she could reach up in the air higher, especially with her left hand, than she’d been able to do yesterday. [...]

(But this knowledge should do wonders to help Jane free herself. [...]

[...] “I wasn’t worried about not doing the motions though,” Jane said, “particularly after the arms started doing their thing last night.”

(Jane was doing well. [...]

[...] “Now I’ll see if I can do some exercises,” Jane said. [...]

[...] I rubbed Steve’s Rescue Cream on the knuckles of Jane’s right hand, as I’d begun doing yesterday. [...]

—and for now at least do not interrupt.

[...] When he decided not to do Adventures (a week or two ago) the book became more important in both literary and financial terms.

[...] They do have their own validity.

Once they are recognized then they can be met and dealt with, but they cannot be intellectualized away, and denied while smothering them and pretending that they do not exist.

[...] They interact with one another as viruses do. [...] If you think there is, then you do not sufficiently understand the spirituality of the flesh or the physical reality of your thought.

Thoughts interact with the body and become part of it as viruses do. [...]

[...] No one dies who has not made the decision to do so — and no disease is accepted blindly. [...]

[...] They are as much a part of nature as feelings are, but if you set up an arbitrary division — considering thoughts mental as distinguished from the physical — then your body may give a truer reflection of your being than your thoughts do.
