“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] There is indeed light that you do not see, sound that you do not hear, sensation that you do not feel. [...] If you close your eyes, you do not see.

[...] The colors were more brilliant than any physical ones, and so in a fashion you ended up trying a too-literal translation—too literal because a real translation would require colors and even symbols that you do not have on a physical basis. [...] Do you follow me?

[...] I’ve thought of trying to do a painting of my best dream images of all time … yet wonder how I can do it….”

(At first Jane and I thought of calling this session a deleted one—but its subject matter fits into Dreams too well for us to do that.

The squatting exercise was difficult for two reasons—one having to do with beliefs, and the second to do with the soreness about the joints. The belief has to do with letting down, of course, and I will have more to say about this. That same belief has to do with sitting on the toilet.

[...] There is no doubt of the many improvements, made up of a series of inner improvements that do not show as yet, except as the time element presents itself—i.e., he gets over here (apartment 5) quicker and easier.

The legs do not appear straighter as yet, however (which Jane has been concerned about), but the change of tempo there reflects greater inner coordination. [...]

These sentences should now clear up that seeming contradiction between relaxation and doing that he has felt for so long. [...]

[...] In the sort of work you are doing, both creatively in your arts and in your psychic work, the inner activities and developments run below surface and are unseen. [...]

[...] And even when they are given to you they must unfold within you or you do not understand them.

[...] It is the reason why you do not remember quite legitimate projections you have made.

[...] Do not attempt to approach him simply because there will be unstable elements and a fine balance to be maintained, his visual appearance being dependent upon many conditions. [...]

[...] You do not lose contact with your ordinary waking self. You simply do not focus upon it. [...]

[...] These other streams of consciousness, however, are connected with other self-forms that you do not perceive. [...]

[...] The point is that you are only limited to the self you know if you think that you are, and if you do not realize that that self is far from your entire identity.

[...] In other words, you may become aware of a far greater reality than you now know, use abilities that you do not realize you possess, know beyond all doubt that your own consciousness and identity is independent of the world in which you now focus your primary attention. [...]

As a child he once thought that his father was immortal, in human terms — that he could do no wrong. The son tries to vindicate the father by doing no wrong himself, and perhaps by succeeding where it seems the father might have failed. [...]

[...] I am not saying that children do not have a sexual nature from birth. They simply do not focus upon their maleness or femaleness in the way that is supposed.

[...] Certain kinds of knowledge are transmitted through the genes besides that generally known, having to do with cellular formations and so forth.

[...] Your male or female orientation limits you in ways that you do not understand. [...]

You do this in the dream state. You do it in the waking state. [...]

Do you have an envelope for me?

[...] To do with a particular week, or a seven or fourteen-day period. [...]

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

The art and the symbols are closely related, and I do not mean by this that the art is necessarily stylized, as for example the symbols necessarily were. [...] If you go ahead with the work you are meant to do, it will also take care of you.

Too many compromises do sap your strength and energy, and the work compromise was inhibiting your painting to some extent. [...]

[...] (While we were in Sayre; Jane was doing the washing; mother was cooking dinner, etc.) He remembered you and the pendulum, and having none there instead allowed submerged feelings up. [...]

[...] (Louder, humorously, reaching forward to tap me on the foot:) Now do you want any more personal material?

[...] In so doing during the reincarnational cycle, you are focusing your main abilities in physical life, developing human qualities and characteristics, opening new dimensions of activity. This does not mean that good does not exist, or that in your terms you do not “progress,” but your concepts of good and progression are extremely distorted.

[...] I do not know if that was called Madaimeer. [...] Do you follow me?

(8:51.) Through denying themselves, say, intellectual development in a given life, personalities also learn the value and purpose of that which they do not possess. [...]

[...] They will pace themselves as dancers do.

[...] He has not been using his full abilities but he is now learning that he must do so if he is to develop, and if he is to do his best by you, for you are my students, you see, as well as his. [...]

[...] They do not understand what they are. [...]

[...] You have it but you do not realize the knowledge that you have. [...]

(I do not know if our attitude toward this type of thing is too rigid; that is, if it would seem so to others; the Gallaghers, for instance. I say that I don’t want people to “expect that sort of thing when they come here” and when I think about it I do consider it as somehow unpleasant or exhibitionistic. [...] I do think that when we get the notes, I should just have Barb write out yes or no to the points given; very professional and purposely unemotional but I do want to know if that emotional bit added anything data-wise or not.

[...] Now I’m sort of sorry that people will know about the Seth sessions; know what we’re doing twice a week; and of course this is partially my fault. It is hard to get a balanced attitude, which is what is needed—and we usually do achieve one, incidentally. [...]

[...] She insisted on doing the dishes for me; she wants to buy friendship basically or make sure she is needed or some such.

[...] Wouldn’t know; it was supposed to be afternoon I do recall that.

In regard to Philip, a separation of elements I do not understand. A division of duties or some such, I do not know. [...]

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

[...] All I get here is A R, and do not know to what it refers.

[...] (Murphy.) And the expenditure to do with his household.

[...] There are accelerations that occur, or that do not occur, by which people renew themselves. [...] You are doing this.

I do not want to overemphasize such processes of the past, however, but only what is being done now as the healing processes continue. [...] He should be able to copy an hour or so a day, but do not push that issue. [...]

[...] They will accept your reasons, which can be stated clearly so that they do not feel personally rejected.

[...] Your fellows do after all seek you out, even if the time is wrong. [...]

[...] I do not need to tell you not to tell Ruburt that he is an untalented dumb ox. I do not need to tell Ruburt not to tell you that you are an untalented painter. Such things do not enter your heads. You do not have to watch yourselves every moment, so that you do not give negative suggestions in those areas.

(This afternoon, as Seth suggested I do in the last session, I gave Jane beneficial suggestions for 15 minutes or so at naptime, until my voice became tired. [...]

[...] It had to do with the power of suggestion, our reluctance to use it, and so forth. [...]

[...] You do not understand their implications, or the great inner organization that is behind the most simple utterance.

If you do well financially, then your well-doing puts a burden upon them, to understand the validity of your kind of life, and Ruburt’s. This makes them question in ways that make them uncomfortable. Yet you do what you do for them, also. [...]

[...] Do not tell him ahead of time that he will not succeed. Do you follow me?

I am afraid I am holding him to the line with that particular session If he wants my help, therefore, he can no longer avoid following my advice—and tell him that I know he has been, but he must do so more completely, with that session.

[...] You cannot do something unreal.

[...] You can change the past, and in doing so change the present and the future. You can change the present, and in doing so change the past and the future. You can change the future, and in doing so change the present and the past.

[...] In doing so you change the self, by choosing from past experience those elements to which you shall and shall not react. This you can do. [...]

[...] He was doing what he felt you wanted him to do, yet the results displeased you, and he felt you found him physically repulsive. [...]

[...] He was also highly anxious to succeed, and knew that he was not doing so.

He will do all right, even if I do rib him now and then.

I suggest your first break, and we will see what we can do.

[...] It would perhaps have been more convenient if the effort had been started on other than a session night, but in any case I expect to see the endeavor succeed, and certainly do not mind missing a session for this purpose.

[...] Do not fret because of this brief session, Joseph. [...]

I have the impression of the initials H R, having to do with that session. [...]

When specific details are mentioned under such circumstances you may gently probe: “Is there more?” or “Do you see more?” or “Are you there?” These are general permissive questions that allow him leeway. [...]

[...] In doing this he develops his own abilities also. [...]

[...] Do you have any other questions?

(4:22 P.M. Jane said she’d felt that surge of freedom twice while doing the prayer this morning. [...] She hasn’t done any strong movements now in several days, so we await the body’s decisions and readiness to do more, when it wants to and is ready. [...]

[...] She did quite well, though not as fast as she can do. [...]

[...] I thought I remembered her doing this. [...]

(Jane did do a few minor motions after the session, and before I turned her—wriggling her toes. [...]

[...] The official line of consciousness is really the “worrier,” because it recognizes that it can only go so far, and usually it is not educated enough to realize it is itself sustained and supported — and now I bid you a fond good afternoon, and I do indeed adjust those coordinates that do quicken Ruburt’s healing processes.

(I do have a thing going with dentists. [...]

[...] I tried to do some mail, but didn’t get far. [...]

(“Just what do you mean when you say that you “adjust those coordinates that quicken Ruburt’s healing processes?”

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] Now do you have any questions?

[...] Do you have any questions?
