“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Actually my concern was over some kind of accident to Armstrong after he & Aldrin had left the lunar module or landing craft—this I believe is scheduled for 2:17 AM Monday, according to [this morning’s] Sunday paper.

[...] Leonard does have a newspaper connection with Jane and me, in that he obtains the New York Times at work, then gives it to us each day after he finishes reading it. He also gives us the Sunday edition, and various news magazines on a regular basis, so in this sense he has a strong “news" connection with us. [...]

When man feels powerless, however, and in a state of generalized fear, he can even turn the most natural earthly ingredients against himself. [...]

[...] He is driven to violent action only as a last resort — and illness often is that last resort.

1. When Seth came through with “You get what you concentrate upon,” I remembered that he’d first spoken that sentence some years ago — and that soon afterward I’d made a little paper sign bearing those words and taped it to a wall in one of the two apartments we occupied in Elmira, New York. [...]

[...] He did his best to reassure us. [...]

[...] The “boxcar” episode represented his living at one level of physical experience, even while he also existed as the giant-sized self that peered over the mountain top and watched his progress. [...]

[...] And the small trinkets that Ruburt discovered to his own delight represented the small but very valuable pleasures of daily life that he is now reclaiming.

[...] I’ve also developed the habit of repeating Seth’s quote from my own body, as he gave it in the deleted session for April 18: “You worry too much. [...]

A dismissal of some kind, someone dismisses them abruptly, perhaps, or dismisses the Jesuit or he has the impression. [...]

(Joel mentioned he would like Seth’s interpretation of his foliage image.)

[...] There is some question as to whether or not he will be at the same university next year. [...]

A connection with mucilage, perhaps there is a jar of it close to him, or he has been working on something requiring glue. [...]

[...] However he interpreted them literally you see in terms of the small transparent rectangles or squares. [...]

[...] Our friend will not see what he does not want to see.

(“Also the letters D O L, followed perhaps by another L,” Here is another instance of Seth trying something new in the way of association, as he did with the D E L for delivery data in the last envelope experiment. [...]

[...] After he took his fall a blanket was hunted for among the members of the gathering. [...]

[...] He will catch on however rather quickly, and then our data should be better than it was before.

[...] He decided not to.)

Dictation: Now: To some extent the development of consciousness as you understand it follows the development of the gods through the ages; and in those stories appear the guises that man might have taken, as well as those that he did.

1. Seth is letting his material automatically answer my question about early man; See Appendix 6, as well as Note 7 for Session 688. According to our dictionary, the geologic time span he indicates in tonight’s session falls within the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era. [...]

[...] I was a bit surprised that he’d ended the session so quickly, given the slow pace. [...]

[...] He belonged to an entity that was strongly attached to physical life on our plane, Seth said; the entity having experienced many physical lives, and still refusing to leave earth as we know it.

2. A reminder: Seth usually calls Jane by her male entity name, Ruburt — and thus “he,” “him,” etc.

[...] He has witnessed several sessions. He could not attend tonight’s session but left with us a question concerning transubstantiation; John wanted Seth’s comments on the literal results, if any, of this Catholic ceremony.

Ruburt should learn much of advantage from the book by Jung which he is reading. [...]

[...] I told him he was more relieved than he knew, and good evening.

[...] He was dominant, round-faced with thick glasses. [...]

(11:49 P.M. By now it should be obvious that this session is an excellent example of the way Seth often winds our questions and concerns into book dictation, couching his answers so that they also fit the larger framework he has in mind. But even if our private lives do sometimes influence the way Seth delivers his material, we’ve discovered that he still pretty much covers the subject matter he wants to.)

(The house was noisy temporarily: A carpenter in a downstairs apartment was using an electric saw at frequent intervals as he repaired some of the damage caused by last June’s massive flood. [...]

Man has always attempted to examine those realities that he could perceive through the outer senses. [...]

[...] She thought he had more material on the subject ready but did not want to start in on it now. [...]

[...] He has been given a highly important symbol which stands in his psyche for the meaning of truth. [...]

[...] And that despite all your journeys and quests, he will be there to claim you, and that though you try to escape him, that this is the face of the real God that you will find. [...]

(Soon we’ll be able to start sending out Seth’s own letter to some of our correspondents; he dictated it in the 633rd session. [...]

[...] When a man kills another, regardless of his other beliefs a certain portion of his conscious mind is always aware of the violation involved, justify it though he may.
