“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] He will succeed, and do well. [...] He is doing very well. [...]

These are impressions having to do with the Jesuit and the cat lover. [...]

[...] This having to do with a particular colony.

Do you have any questions, Joseph?

[...] You do not trust the natural consciousness of the body, so that when its end nears — and such an end is inevitable — you do not trust the signals that the body gives, that are meant to free you.

[...] I reminded her this morning to write an account of the experience, but the after effects, plus new healing sensations, were so strong that she couldn’t concentrate enough to do the job; she wrote but a paragraph or two.

[...] At best, it often seems that you are all that you know of your psyche, and you will complain that you do not know yourself to begin with. [...]

[...] In the “entire book of life,” however, just physically speaking, there are interrelationships on adjacent levels that you do not perceive, as other portions of your own biological consciousness or biological language relate to the entire living fabric of the world. [...]

[...] One knee knows what the other is doing. [...]

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

Do you have questions? [...]

[...] You do not suddenly become a spirit as is and all spirits are not long-faced and boastly [sic], although you could frighten me under certain circumstances. [...]

[...] You are in the habit of carrying these hells and demons around with you, and if you do not watch it you will see them even in the faces of the flowers. [...]

You do. [...]

Do have Ruburt ask the natural Jane (Jane one) what to do when there are difficulties, so that the natural self at least gets a chance to give an opinion. [...]

(And trusting her impulses, Jane slept for a couple of hours this afternoon—yet wasn’t happy with herself for doing so when she awoke. [...]

[...] The two do go hand in hand. [...]

Now: We may end up with a spontaneous session now and then, but I am going to close this one—and I do want you to remember creativity, for it can allow you to spontaneously change areas of your life so easily that you wonder it had not been done before. [...]

(Jane doesn’t appear to be doing too well — her body is up to something, I told her. [...] I’ve seen such signs before, but do not recall what they meant, if anything. [...]

[...] I thought it was going to rain, which meant that Frank wouldn’t be doing the grass again. [...]

[...] It is not that plants understand your ideas in usual terms — but that they do indeed pick up your intent, and in the arena of world survival, they have a stake.

I do not want to romanticize nonhuman life either, or to overestimate its resources, but nature also has its own ways — and in those ways it constantly works toward survival of life in general. [...]

That was indeed our weak point, and since we were doing well I did not press it. [...] I let this go since we were doing well enough without pressing Ruburt.

[...] I am taking my time here so that we get this clearly, for I do not often come through with the pure clarity of stereophonic.

[...] You do not have sufficient words to clearly explain what I mean. [...]

[...] The portions of the self that deal in probabilities do not have such an experience with a past, to give them their feeling of identity or continuity.

There are laws on your plane that govern the construction of matter, but these laws are psychic laws having to do with the ability of the individual in projection of idea into matter, the ability to receive and transmit energy, and with abilities having to do with the actual construction itself.

I do not know who he is.

[...] I am glad I do not work at his art gallery. [...]

[...] I still do not see any difficulty as far as the house and your finances are concerned. [...]

I have also spoken of constructions which do not appear in the usual manner on the physical level, though they exist and are valid. There are many reasons why such constructions do not retain, or sometimes even gain, even the appearance of physical durability, and the apparition of the other evening falls in this category.

(“Do you mean we will see the apparition?”)

It is true that telepathy has nothing to do with distance in space as you know it. [...]

[...] Do all five constructions, plus Ruburt’s own, contain Ruburt’s consciousness?

[...] And yet through living at home while helping the father, on the one hand, in the establishment, at the same time on unconscious levels by his very presence he says “I am not doing what I want to do, and you are to blame.”

Nevertheless I do here welcome all present, and hope that I am myself welcomed, into what we may call a pleasant family gathering.

The other man was not involved with any of you in past lives, nor do I see him indeed at all in England in any era. [...]

We do not have to bear such scars forever. [...]

[...] The drug may have the effect of coloring his image, so do not be surprised at a yellow or purplish tinge. [...] This has to do with the conductivity of cell structures, and your particular atmosphere during these periods.”

[...] So do probable events. They simply do not appear concrete to you.

[...] This does not mean that it did not exist, but in the waking state you do not perceive it. In the same way you do not perceive the actuality of probable events on a conscious basis. [...]

[...] Do you feel lost in the face of all these ideas of entities and probable selves? Where do you fit in, as you know yourself? [...]

Now, so do the cells in your own body have self-consciousness and individuality to some extent, and so on a different scale entirely do they make decisions. [...]

You do not have to learn new things at the same time as you are struggling to exist in a strange environment. [...]

(“What did you do?”)

You as a physical being are also dependent upon many forces that you do not understand, so there is no contradiction in saying that the cells are individual and independent, and yet dependent upon stronger organization. [...]

A note regarding your astronauts and their latest excursion: new developments involving the ionosphere have been made during this trip, and to your scientists unpleasant ones, since they do not conform to previous theories.

[...] The activity of the ions, only slightly outside of the expected, will nevertheless make it plain that the scientists do not have predicted activity. [...]

[...] Yours is simply not one that I have pursued, and one of the purposes of my appearance at these sessions is to acquaint the one you call Ruburt with inner travel, for he must leave the system as you know it, and in doing so set up habits and paths that can be used to advantage.

[...] When you allow yourselves freedom in the dream state, when you allow yourself direct experience of reality, when you do not remember it.

[...] If you think, “Aha, then from now on I will only think good thoughts — and therefore be healthy, and inhibit my ‘bad’ thoughts, or do anything at all with them but think them,” then in your own way you are doing what Augustus did. [...]

You with your conscious mind are to discriminate among those thoughts as to which ones you want to form into your system of beliefs (intently), but in so doing you are not to pretend blindness. You may at times wish that a rainy day were a sunny one, but you do not stand at the window and deny that the rain is falling, or that the air is cold and the sky dark.

[...] So you do not have to pretend that a “dark” thought doesn’t exist. You do not have to take it as fact that all of your thoughts would be murky, left alone, and try to hide them.

[...] Within your reality it is as foolish to deny the existence of certain thoughts as it would be, say, to pretend that deserts do not exist. [...] This does not mean that you have to collect what you think of as negative thoughts, any more than it means that you should spend a month in a desert if you do not like them. [...]

Give us a moment … I am not here going into Ruburt to any great degree, but I do have some information. Obviously he is in the middle of a learning adventure, trying to do far more with his ordinary consciousness than most people, and trying to solve his problems and encounter his challenges without relying upon old structures of belief … He has done this even though he has been working in relatively untried areas, where there seem to be few certainties.⁹

[...] As I suspected he might do, Seth began this evening’s session by dealing with the second one. [...]

Now: In a way, it is quite difficult to tell you what I have been doing with my time (humorously emphatic) while I have been involved in the production of “Unknown” Reality — and therefore, to some extent at least, inclined toward your time.²

In your terms I see not only greater chunks of time than you do, but I can to some considerable extent view the probable actualizations of events and times.

[...] (Pause.) I do not believe I have the point across to you clearly.

[...] (I nodded yes.) He is at the point you see where he is beginning to do so. [...]

[...] Do you follow me?

And do not pay any attention to Ruburt when he chews you all out. [...]

(To Ron L.) And our friend, Edgar, judges the self that he knows far too harshly and do not ask me what I mean by the statement. [...]

[...] Do not worry about physical or nonphysical. [...]

[...] It will also help if he remembers what he likes to do and enjoys doing, as opposed to what he thinks he should do in the line of business. [...]

[...] (A one-minute pause.) We want to speak more of reactions between elements of the personality, so I do not want you to settle upon one portion as the villain. At the same time, I do not want to play down the unfortunate aspects of the beliefs connected with the Sinful Self. [...]

Now: it is sometimes difficult to explain certain issues so that you do not end up with a simple black-or-white explanation. [...]

(Long pause at 9:58.) He had been shy with people, shy about reading his own poetry, though determined to do so, yet he felt that he should become this public personality, or to perform. [...]

[...] “So I should have the session because it’s my responsibility to do it,” she said. [...]

[...] I said also that her decision to give up doing publicity, made just recently, might be helping her feel better.

[...] I explained that my idea was only to get more material on what Seth had begun yesterday—but that didn’t mean she couldn’t do material on other things too.

[...] I don’t think we’ve ever “abandoned” a session once we sat for it, but was willing to do it if need be. [...]

I do not know art, but I understand the nature of perception within your system, and I understand what you are trying to do and such hints as I can give you can also be applied to other areas. [...]

Do you know what he is saying?

By the time the painting is done you should almost be able to hear his words, even though they are in a language you do not know. [...]

[...] He always does put me out strong when I talk about anything to do with you and paintings.”
