“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the unscheduled 203rd session of October 28, with the Gallaghers as witnesses, Seth gave some information having to do with the Incas reaching Florida and building small settlements. Whether this is established historically Jane and I do not know. [...] This had to do with a team of anthropologists launching a four-year study to assess the culture of a wandering tribe of Indians in South Florida. [...]

[...] We are doing quite well ourselves, considering our circumstances, and we shall do better.

[...] The personal associations on his part that do not apply to the test object, do represent the fact that his own abilities have not fully developed.

Ruburt’s book will do very well. [...]

Barriers are cut away, and once you become used to receiving within a larger range you will be able to do so in your future. These ranges, once opened up, then do not entirely close up to you. [...]

[...] You recall however that individuals receive in certain electromagnetic patterns, or pattern ranges, far better than they do in others. [...]

It goes without saying that in our methods the ego is changed rather completely but gradually in many cases, and only through its own willingness to do so. [...]

[...] Do you have envelope?

The son who did survive, you do not know in your present existence. [...] One of the side chores he has taken upon himself is to do reparation to the eldest daughter, obviously, taking her as his wife in this existence. [...]

[...] As the brain gives orders and communicates messages to the various parts of the physical body, so would the mind or entity do in like manner. The mind would contain all data having to do with past existences and intertwining purposes, problems and relationships, but it would only give such data to the brain as was necessary for its present existence.

Do you want to take a break? [...] However I do not feel it would be a good idea so late in the session. [...]

[...] 1, while doing some other art work, I had a vision. [...]

Usually in these sessions only one inner sense is in strong operation, but as I mentioned in our last session, man does not trust anything which occurs to him or in him unless he is consciously aware of what he is doing, how he is doing it, and why. [...]

[...] That is what you are supposed to do in these frequent breaks from the material. [...] Please do get comfortable.

[...] He still wants to know if I am part of his subconscious—and I must admit I do find such an idea appalling—and he wants his answers given to him in a manner which his conscious mind can understand. [...]

[...] If in a dream for example you experience within the framework two days, physically you do not age for these two days.

[...] You both tuned me in, and I found your discussion extremely interesting, though I must say I am rather glad that I do not have to deal with such matters myself any longer.

What I do deal with is extremely complicated, and yet next to your dilemma—buy or don’t buy—I must say that my own concerns seem almost childlike by comparison.

It would not do in any case for you to purchase land that is closed in. [...]

[...] He will be very good with anything having to do with planting, and the intimacy with the seasons will bring you both to a greater psychic fruition. [...]

[...] Give us a moment and we shall see what we can do for you. [...]

[...] The letters C A R which do not refer to a vehicle. [...]

[...] Nor do I think that we should engage in any undue voice effects for my friend again will be upset due to the hour. [...]

[...] There are influences working and she could cause you to return when you do not want to through influencing your parent. [...]

[...] I read it to Jane, who encouraged me to do more. I’d felt the urge to do the same thing yesterday, without going along with it, and had reacted the same way earlier today. [...]

(Resume at 11:15.) Though I am using numbers and classifications, please realize that I am doing this for the convenience of explanation, and that these realities exist one within the other. [...]

[...] I keep comparing that to creative activity because the same principles are involved—and impediments do disappear.

[...] Basically the creative play exploration, writing, is the main core of my creativity—and I do that for the love of doing it. [...] When I started doing this, I aroused the protective elements—the conservative elements—of my personality... [...]

[...] But the creative basic part of the personality enjoys that; the doing, primarily—the art will always be an individual interpretation and recreation of the world—that exists for itself and is its own meaning.

Do not fear that many sessions will pass before we return to our own material. [...]

I knew what I was doing in our last session. [...]

[...] He will do so in time.

Do you have any questions, Joseph?

They do not know however where identity does reside, and consider it the result merely of organized perceptual patterns. [...] They do mention, the authors, that this can sometimes be the result of necessity. [...]

[...] Potentials do not simply appear, they evolve. [...]

[...] It has to do with a schedule.

Do you have an envelope for me?

Nor do I think that establishment science will soon be interested in Seth’s ideas that exchanges take place involving our genetic systems, the environment, and cultural events like politics and economics; or that our genetic systems react to our thoughts and emotions—let alone that there’s any genetic planning for future probabilities! I do not know whether, or how, any of those factors could be measured and/or manipulated in the laboratory. [...]

[...] Scientists often use “athymic” mice in cancer research, for example, since the mice do not reject tumor transplants. [...]

[...] The genes do not simply hold information without any reference to the body’s living system. [...]

Particularly in your own species there is a great give-and-take between human genetic systems, the environment, and cultural events—and by cultural events I mean events having to do with your peculiarly unique field of activity that includes the worlds of politics, economics, and so forth.

[...] “I didn’t hear any voice while I was doing this,” she said later. [...] The work is close to the way Seth would present it; it probably stems from her efforts last night, we think, to see what she could do with “book work” on her own:

(“Diets do serve momentarily as outer signs that you are in control, and can seize the initiative; and as such they can be important. [...] Steps to lose weight do not make sense in the face of that belief. [...]

(“The best thing to do is to stop all such efforts, but instantly begin altering your beliefs as instructed in this chapter.

[...] Yet, at the same time I mean that the sessions are truly original and significant, with their contents offering new creative insights and hope to the human species in a way that most endeavors do not do. [...] I do believe that prolonged study of the Seth material would yield great results toward our understanding of ourselves….”

[...] I’d also forgotten to remind him to do so. I asked Jane if Seth could devote the next session to that subject matter so that I could insert it in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality as a note or an appendix, since I had plenty of work to do yet for that second volume. [...]

(Jane had started doing some typing on the final manuscript for Seth’s The Nature of the Psyche: Its Human Expression a couple of days ago. [...] Jane agreed, while still worrying about what we were going to do with all of the material as it accumulated year after year. [...]

[...] What were Jane and I each doing all that time? [...] I do this for my own sake as well as the reader’s, since I like to know exactly where I am in time, and what I mean and feel when writing even a short note for one of the Seth books.

(I think my symptoms are all the worse because of what I do in contrast. [...] what Eddie wanted were answers to those weighty problems, and I come up with switch plots, that any other writer could do... [...]

[...] After I mess around with a few plots for switch; then do some on Oversoul. [...]

[...] If they err, they do so through ignorance.

These fears do not belong to what you think of as the subconscious. [...]

[...] The freely working subconscious — or the inner you — is completely capable of taking care of all practical considerations and will use the ego as a tool to do so.

[...] So-called impulses on your part are often blocked because you do not consider them practical. [...]

As the days passed Jane kept putting me off about doing the translation, until finally I grew resentful and despairing at her refusal to cooperate. [...] For by then I knew that she had no intention of producing an English version: Some childlike and naive, yet deeply stubborn portion of her psyche, some “perverse area,” as Seth, her trance personality, jokingly characterized it long ago, had simply taken over and decided not to do any more on that subject. [...]

[...] She’d very gradually started doing this before entering the hospital, but any physical causes behind her behavior had been unsuspected by us then. [...] Instead she napped or drifted—even as she does now—while intermittently reading and rereading our material for Dreams without ever doing anything with it.

We do not just receive the torch of life and pass it on as one Olympic runner does to another, but we each add to that living torch or flame a power, a meaning, a quality that is uniquely our own. We do this as individuals, as members of the family, the community, and members of the species. [...]

“Just do it your own way,” I said. [...] There’s nothing else you can do.”)

He would do his mother no harm, and for this reason she can do him no harm. The desire and the intent to do violence almost inevitably brings forth violence.

[...] He has been institutionalized for many years, and I do not believe Ella and her husband Wilbur saw him for a number of years prior to their deaths.)

She would not admit the fear, but would change the fear to pride, saying to herself that the world was evil, and she would therefore have little to do with it. [...]

[...] Jane had no conscious memory of my doing so. [...]

Your reincarnational selves have as many probable lives as you do. [...]

[...] But in dreams you often do work quite as valid as any performed in the day, and in the dream state you meet and interact with your own reincarnational selves.

(10:20.) Do you want a break now?

As your spaceships to the moon must wait for the most effective overall conditions before taking off, so in other terms are there rhythms having to do with energy. [...]

[...] Within that framework, however, you do have the creative abilities, and these stand out in their own fashions, since they “play with the facts.” They often do not honor conceptual conventions. They do not fit the true-or-false category. [...]

[...] It didn’t seem natural for any creature to do that. [...]

[...] Translations and dramatizations that serve to give you glimpses of psychological structures whose very natures do not fit the facts of the world (all intently. [...]

[...] All of your concepts of gods and goddesses are basically creative attempts to portray psychological dramatizations of other portions of the psyche that do not appear in the flesh. [...]

[...] Those who do not construct a system cannot perceive it. [...]

[...] I do not give Ruburt the information in this manner. [...]

I do not speak symbolically, but quite literally.

[...] We have not touched upon it often, if at all, and it has to do with something Ruburt wondered about: Mass, or shared, dreams.
