“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I think that Seth’s energy propels me into Sumari when he initiates a song, as he did here. [...]

[...] The last notes I gave you are extremely important, but he must not become overly concerned with results, but know that the new beliefs will bring results, as the old ones did, and as beautifully. [...]

[...] It is much better all around if he be kept clear of such knowledge. The last session with your friend went off extremely well, and I hope that he follows my advice. If Ruburt had known what was in my mind, he would have been nervous and self-conscious.

(“Oh, I don’t think he’s so poor.”)

[...] He has yet to answer it.)

[...] Floyd, Jane, and I are good friends, and he’s well acquainted with our work. He’s a few years younger than I am (I’m 60), but as far as I can remember the two of us haven’t discussed such matters, even jokingly. [...]

[...] He could theoretically move to a better vantage point in the twinkling of an eye, relatively speaking, but for now we must largely use analogies. [...]

Ruburt glimpsed some of the principles involved when you were at [your downtown apartments] on several occasions—once when he tried to write a poem about the comprehensions that simply would not be verbalized.² I do not know how to explain some of this, but in your terms there is (underlined) light within (underlined) darkness. [...]

(“In these passages on hate, and elsewhere in this book, Seth goes more deeply into the nature of our emotional life than he has before. His earlier comments on hate, for example, were made when he had to consider the level of understanding of those who were witnessing the session. [...] Then he answered accordingly: ‘There is no justification for hatred…. [...]

[...] A person you feel strongly against at any given time upsets you because he or she does not live up to your expectations. [...]

[...] In a much more limited manner, any artist does the same thing when he translates what he is, or a portion of it, into a painting. [...]

I suggest, merely, that Ruburt try the bed arrangement for a week, and then see what he thinks.

He is a delightful peacock. [...]

He could have, indeed. [...]

[...] But he would exist historically in your time and not, for example, be a ghost whispering in the night. [...]

[...] This experience follows, of course, the one I had for my last appointment, and which is on record — when I chipped a tooth and went to my dentist’s office the same day to see if he could fix it — and discovered that I had an appointment I’d forgotten about for that very same time on that same day. [...]

(“He seldom asks me to read it to him.”)

[...] At our first discussion, though, Peg told me that a brother-in-law had just come into a tremendous amount of money as a result of lawyers fees, he is a lawyer, and a rich account. [...]

^* In 1965, in response to my letter, an older and very respected parapsychologist — “Dr. Instream,” Jane called him — invited Jane and me to attend the hypnosis symposium he was to conduct at a New York State college. [...]

He has begun some brief relaxation exercises. [...]

[...] I envisioned some hilarious episodes during which Seth, speaking through Jane, would try to explain to gatherings of medical people just who he was and what he believed. Next, he’d go into what Jane and I believed, and why. Then he’d add some very pungent remarks as to what those in his audiences believed, and why….

[...] That is, the individual is not just a side issue in what people usually call the evolutionary process—but he or she is the entire issue, without which there would be no species, no survival, no exquisite web of genetic cooperation to produce living creatures of any kind whatsoever.

Deliberately he decides to create a sculpture, and automatically focuses his energies in that direction. [...]

[...] But all of this may have little to do with the artist’s interpretation of his own symbols, or with his personal experience, so he may wonder how the critics could read this into his work.

[...] It is important to note that regardless of the mental or physical illness adopted, it is chosen for a reason, and is a natural method that the individual himself knows he is physically and mentally equipped to handle.

[...] He is making good psychological progress, which means that he is making physical progress as well.

First, though, they’re to visit still another member from class who lives in a nearby town: He has tapes of some early class sessions that Jane had forgotten about; copies of the tapes will be made. [...]

(Before tonight’s session, she and I discussed the importance of Seth’s material on human sexuality and hoped he would expand it.)

[...] When he studies such animal behavior, however, and sometimes uses the sexual patterns of the animals to make certain points about human sexuality, then man does not take this into consideration, but speaks as if the present observed animal behavior is the indication of a prime or basic nature inherent in their biology.

[...] A father can feel very guilty about his love for his children, for he has been conditioned to believe that love is expressed only through sex, or else it is unmanly, while sex with one’s children is taboo.

[...] It appears, and is a reality, to all aspects or portions of the self, and often it is only within the dream universe that the personality can change focus easily or efficiently enough so that he can perceive the variety of roles that he himself has played.

[...] I would suggest now that he seriously begin to schedule this with his daily activities. [...]

In such cases the artist captures the dominant essence, and through the energy which he has given the art, it then makes such an effect upon the ego, which could not ordinarily perceive so much.

Now: It is often said that man believes in devils because he believes in gods. The fact is that man began to believe in demons when he started to feel a sense of guilt. [...]

[...] He must learn on a conscious level then what he knew all along. [...]

Tell Ruburt to remember that the conscious mind can state its request that Ruburt’s physical condition constantly improve itself, so that he can finally walk by himself, with some ease and confidence. [...]

(In regard to Seth’s remark, above, that our creative energies would be enhanced with the onset of these latest sessions, here’s the earlier reference he referred to, in the very first session for October 9, 1983: “Your joint creative abilities should also be more aroused because of this session, so that you will have more intuitive breakthroughs on your own, and jointly, that will benefit you both in many ways.” [...]

[...] “I felt that he could really blast off with that voice. [...]

[...] I was sure I knew how the chipmunk had gotten caught: He’d squeezed under the back porch screened-in door looking for food. [...]

Ruburt felt some dismay when you told him of the letter about the diet because he felt momentarily threatened—attracted to the diet, and suspicious of it at the same time. [...]

Man cannot assign his own psychology to the food that he partakes. [...]
