“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Saying this, I do not want to make you impatient with Ruburt’s progress, for he is naturally improving. He can do more than naturally improve, however, if you understand what I am saying, and does not confuse the rules of the two frameworks. [...]

[...] Frank’s knowledge can still be helpful, but it should not be allowed, now, to curtail improvements, or limit them, by conventional knowledge of what muscles and joints can or cannot do, or by projecting any particular procedure—as, for example, Ruburt will do this or that, before this or that.

[...] So do Ruburt’s books. [...] Again, I will see that you do have help in Framework 2, and in the dream state.

You are both doing very well. [...]

[...] The cooking efforts, the dishes, have benefits that do not show beside those you are familiar with. If you do follow my suggestions concerning Framework 2, given this evening, your own experiences will lead to other creative ideas involving Ruburt’s condition, sales, and creative activity. [...]

[...] I was ready to admit that the body could repair itself in ways that might be mysterious to us, but at the same time I certainly wanted additional reassurances from Seth that we were doing the right thing in going along with his information. [...]

[...] As Jane and I have decided to do lately, I began giving myself suggestions about increased sales of her books. [...]

[...] They move now constantly, trying out their new freedoms and as they do they stimulate other positions of the body to one extent or another. [...]

[...] Yet they are individual, and have an amount of freedom as even leaves do. [...]

[...] As leaves bring vital nutrients to the tree trunk, so also do dream images bring nourishment to the personality.

As leaves drop from the tree, so finally do dream images depart from close connection with the personality. [...]

[...] These are not basic limitations, but have to do with the individual’s ability to so extend himself. [...]

Each reader, therefore, has inner senses, and to some extent uses them constantly, though he is not aware of doing so at an egotistical level. [...] If you were to do so, then you would perceive the same kind of environment in which I have my existence. [...]

[...] If our environment seems unstructured to you, it is only because you do not understand the true nature of order, which has nothing to do with permanent form, but only appears to have form from your perspective.

[...] You must understand that by distance I do not refer to space.

[...] We do not have flowers that grow, for example. [...]

[...] “But now I don’t know what to do,” she said several times, looking quite bewildered. “I’m getting it so fast mentally, in Sumari, that I don’t have time to write it down — let alone do it in English — before I go into the next concept….

[...] None can be inflicted upon you that you do not consciously accept. [...] If the hypnotist orders the subject to forget what happened, that individual will pretend to do so. [...]

[...] I was going to do more, but I’m too high and exhausted to go on….” [...]

[...] If you do not like the effects of a belief you must alter it, for no manipulation of the exterior conditions themselves will release you. [...]

[...] She is doing much better with the chair, by the way. [...]

[...] Again, the body knows what it is doing. [...]

[...] These encounters in their own ways are meant to show you that other people do indeed mean well, that they send good wishes in your directions (long pause), and the small clues mentioned earlier are meant, again, to remind you of the inner unity and correspondences beneath events. [...]

[...] Do you have a question? [...]

[...] Playfully now, for the relaxation and joy of doing it, let yourselves imagine the things you want to do, as a creative game, because of the intrinsic pleasure involved but without Ruburt expecting, or rather demanding, instantaneous results.

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] Also, the suggestions as you are doing them (at night before bed) should be also given in the morning, at least before work. [...]

In helping Ruburt do so you will also find your own emotional nature released and enriched. [...]

The soul or entity is always in a state of flux, or learning, and of developments that have to do with subjective experience rather than with time or space. [...]

You do have access to the inner self, therefore. [...]

[...] You do form it, from the inside out, and yet you form it from living substance, and each smallest particle has its own living consciousness. [...]

[...] You do this when you imagine that your present self is your entire personality, or insist that your identity be maintained unchanged through an endless eternity.

[...] For the record: Tuesday last, Alan Neuman called Jane to tell her that he had decided to make a movie of Seven himself, instead of trying to interest others in doing so. [...] Jane told him in her subsequent letter that we are relying upon Prentice-Hall and John Nelson to tell us what to do about legal advice when the time comes, if it does.

You might add very briefly to that material, one or two suggestions following what you have—that stress expression: “Do I feel safe to express physical vitality?” Or questions as to whether or not Ruburt and his “subconscious” feel safe enough to progress, generally speaking, into an area of psychic, creative, and physical expression.

[...] More, however, on some days he will feel actively like walking, and then he should do so, and even in a day when he does have difficulty, there will almost certainly be some periods when he will feel the same urge. [...]

[...] At times now he will feel conflicts, because he wants to do several things at once. [...]

[...] Do I think he’ll be annoyed—he might be—my foot feels joyful—quite a change! Do I feel that any exuberance on my part will annoy or threaten Rob? [...]

[...] moisture or easiness is now in both legs so I feel I’m moving all together more; go to fix coffee, hoping I can get out of kitchen before laundry boy arrives; do dishes, and the kid comes. [...]

[...] I have a good time—do well.

The book will do far better. [...] Do you have questions?

Now: he is to do the point of power exactly as he decided yesterday. [...]

Above all however do not concentrate upon this as a problem, but as a challenge you are even now overcoming, and let the rest of your day flow with other creativity.

You did what you wanted to do, in line with your own natural inclinations, and only when you judge your circumstances against convention’s surface beliefs do you lack your own approval. [...]

You usually do not follow through on such suggestions. Do you have questions?

[...] do another exercise with Rob. [...] They separate, doing ballets in the sky come together again; very free.”

[...] I do want to work on Mass Reality, so as soon as I finish my filing for Through My Eyes, I’ll start in on Mass Reality.

[...] It strikes you as being physical when you are in it, but you can do things with it that can’t be done ordinarily. [...] As a rule, however, you do not go through walls with this body. [...]

[...] The amount of work to be done here is astounding, but you can both do this, and in so doing, you can increase man’s knowledge of the potentials of the dream state.

[...] I had several spontaneous out-of-body experiences during Seth sessions and while doing the exercise Seth calls psy-time. [...]

[...] I decided to do more deliberate experimentation from the dream state by napping during the day — something I hadn’t thought of earlier.

[...] Actually his intentions were of the best, and I suppose that I now must feel obligated—and I do—to go into the matter of mental and emotional stability, and any dangers to such stability that might be involved here.

I also do not take my responsibilities lightly, and I feel to a great degree responsible for you, and for any results coming from your communications with me. [...]

I do depend upon Ruburt’s willingness to dissociate. [...]

[...] I do not want either of you to be worried. [...]

So do your dream images exist in the same manner, and you are as unaware of their existence as you are of your own subconscious existence. You do not know how you move across the floor. [...] You know you breathe, and in the same manner that you undertake physiological, biological and mental leaps and functions, so do you also create the reality of the dream world.

You do transform ideas into image patterns, but they do not have durability or continuity on your plane. They do however, possess durability and continuity on another plane with which you are subconsciously familiar. [...]

In the dream world, you do and perform more than you realize. [...] What you do not realize, however, is that these images that you all create, have an existence independent of your knowledge, once you have created them.

You will be merely doing what you have been doing all along, but with the aid of the ego you will be able to prove the extent of your achievement. [...]

(Seth’s remarks about the recorder point up the reason we do not use it to routinely record the sessions for later transcription. Not only would I sit through the session with Jane even though we were recording, but in doing the transcription I would have to expend an equal amount of time listening to the session again, plus the time necessary for typing, and starting and stopping many times.)

[...] I do not know why on this particular occasion his car was parked as it was; perhaps because another car had temporarily taken his regular place, then left later. [...] Going downstairs after breakfast, I saw the car was gone, which meant my neighbor had moved it considerably earlier than is usually his habit, since he leaves for work sometime after I do.

[...] I am writing this while I am still not myself as I do not want to fall off to sleep as I am tempted to do, don’t think it wise, and would like to describe both experiences while they are still fresh.

(As soon as Jane returned home from doing her errands and mentioned that she still “felt funny”, I suspected that we would see something like a repetition of her adventure of January 10, 1964, Volume 1, page 83. On page 89, in the 100th session, Seth had stated that Jane could allow herself more freedom now, and since she had mentioned the feeling of what she calls ecstasy to me this noon, I thought she was indeed doing more than usual. [...]

[...] And unless I am forced to do so, I do not like to water down information to make it more palatable.

And since you are not, you do not have the peculiar sets of camouflage perceptors necessary to experience existence within them. [...] You simply do not have the camouflage equipment to perceive them.

We shall have a session dealing almost entirely with the nature of energy gestalts, and you will see that while these pyramid energy gestalts do, on the one hand, achieve a unitary character and sublime intelligence, on the other hand they form only an approximation of humanity’s concept of a God. [...]

[...] It is a result of an expansion, again, in terms of value fulfillment, an expansion that has nothing to do with either time or space as men conceive them.

[...] We hope to do more along those lines, for even though (smile) I am doing my own book, I will help Ruburt on his, and he could use a few projection episodes during sessions. [...]

[...] Seldom therefore do physical symptoms appear alone. [...]

[...] The Friday syndrome is just about entirely gone—so again, do not concentrate upon the symptoms that remain. [...]

[...] Do you remember?

[...] Your involvement in the private aspects of your living, and your participation in mass events, has much to do with your estimation of the physical situation, and with your beliefs and desires regarding it. Give us a moment… A very simple example (colon): If you want to write a letter you do so. [...]

[...] It is your conscious version of what you are — an excellent description, if I do say so myself (with amusement). [...]

[...] It can stretch its capacities, becoming far more aware of inner events than it is normally allowed to do, but its main purpose is to deal with the world of effects, to encounter events.

[...] Give us a moment… I do not want to compare the inner ego with a computer in any way, for a computer is not creative, nor is it alive. [...]

[...] It has little to do however with the framework within which our tests take place. [...]

[...] Again, do not concentrate on an intellectual level, if possible. [...]

[...] Feel toward us rather than think at us, and let us see how we do. [...]

[...] Keep the object in mind, but do not concentrate upon it so intensely that you block out your own emotional, (underlined) vitality.
