“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

([Ned W.:] “I think the society we live in is expressed around the fact that you don’t show emotion.”)

([Ned:] “You’re never happy until you have been sad.”)

([Ned:] “You don’t realize how happy you are until you’ve been sad.”)

([Ned:] “You have to be sensitive, like you say you don’t have to be sad to be happy, but when you’re happy you have to be sensitive enough to realize that someone who is sad, that that is sadness. Therefore, you don’t have to be sad to be happy.”)

(Very late in the evening, Ned Watkins woke me to express concern because of the length of the session tonight—at perhaps 1 AM or later. [...] Ned and others were concerned that Jane couldn’t exert enough control to come out herself. [...]

[...] On July 16, Ned and Sue Watkins bought the oils of Charlie Painter, the dream hands, and Moses. [...]

[...] And you (Ned) lost many good bets this evening. [...]

(To Sue and Ned:) I do have one point to make. [...]

(To Ned.) Now, I have a word over here to our friend and it is this. [...]

(To Ned.) And to this one, be gentle with that boy or you will hear from me. [...]

(To Ned and Sue.) I will have something to say to you, and to you, at another time when class is not involved, but I want you to jump together on the same stick. [...]

(To Ned:) Now this is for you, if you ever doubted it, so if you think you are being persecuted, you are doing the persecution. [...]

I came to the defense of Ned and the poor fish and of Ned, the poor fish. Our Ned chose a fish, subconsciously, for many reasons. [...]

(After a discussion of probabilities, Ned related his dream of killing the fish.)

[...] When you say the lilies of the field may, lose a leaf or two, but still have a great deal of protection, I was wondering had Ned’s fish, perhaps. [...]

Now (to Ned) I will let you take your break and one word to our friend here. [...]

There will be some more travel on your part (Sue and Ned). [...]

(Present: Rachel C, Matt and Emma Adams, Theodore and Vera, Lydia, Sue and Ned, Florence, Brad, Amelia, and Florence. [...]

[...] Sue and Ned of the younger generation were proponents of “pro “ and others were either “con” or neutral or philosophical.)

[...] It is up to you now (Sue and Ned) whether or not you listen. [...]

(To Ned.) I gave you much information. [...]

(To Ned.) You are not clear in your mind, in your subconscious mind, or even your conscious mind at times, as to what you want. [...]

(To Ned.) This time I will start with you, and it is up to you this time to bring this one (Sue) along. [...]

Now, our friend back here (Ned) could well appear, you see, as a UFO in another aspect of reality, and frighten the inhabitants. [...] No, it is Super Ned. [...]

(During break a discussion of the continuous pulses and Jane mentioned Ned Watkins’ ability to disappear. [...]

Now, our friend back here (Ned) has tried his disappearing act for some time and a good deal of the time he does it without knowing that he does it, and on occasion he tries it deliberately. [...]

(To Ned.) Now, when our friend over here thinks of nonintervals he disappears. [...]

Now in her (Bette) emotional response and in his (Ned) emotional response, you found a clear answer to the question and the answers were not the same but they were felt and honest and you (Arnold) came close but then you hid within the concepts. [...]

(To Ned.) And you must encounter your own vitality and honor it. [...]

(To Ned.) Though we had an honest answer from someone over here in the corner, I would still like a more adventurous spirit so when you ask yourselves the questions during the week then allow yourself, my dear friend, to feel the uniqueness and the integrity of your own personality as you now know it and realize that there is none like it, in this universe or any other. [...]

([Ned:] “That might be a reason why there are more entities around now, more are choosing to reincarnate?”)

([Ned:] “That would create more entities to reincarnate? [...]

([Ned.) “Also other entities, too.”)

([Ned:] “Is it up to the probable self whether they become a new entity, or up to the person who creates the probable      self ?”)

(To Ned.) I am now speaking to someone who is directly behind me, but I have eyes in the back of Ruburt’s head. [...]

(To Ned.) Behind me, this fellow behind the rocker, you mark my words and guard your vitality and the love you have of life and of your wife and of your child and the new life you see beginning in him and do not let the other emotions destroy your peace of mind. [...]

([Ned:] “Is there any preparation or anything I can do to get more into it?”)

(To Ned and Sue.) Now, you two are doing very well. [...]

(To Ned.) I was in your last experience as a probable self of my own and you did not recognize me, but that is all right and I will not hold it against you. [...]

([Ned:] “Were you the tall, slender one?”)

(To Ned.) And sometimes in your disappearing acts you have gone three steps. [...]

(To Ned.) Now a few remarks here. [...]

([Ned:] “That is why I got so nervous afterward.”)

I expect (to Sue and Ned) some greater performance from you two now. [...]

And what (to Ned) I said to you still goes, if you remember what I said, having to do with the service. [...]

But (to Ned) never look forward to listening to anyone above listening to your own inner self. [...]

(To Ned.) And you find rest beneath trees that are not physical, and you travel quite safely in areas that are not physically perceived. And our friend, Ned, for all his troubles with your draft board, is quite well aware of the nature of existence and joy, but it is because you are so well aware of it that you become so desperate in the field of reality in which you are presently focused, and you must find a way to give that joy and freedom a release in the reality in which you are presently focused. [...]

(To Ned:) My nose, young man, is not a moving picture machine. [...]

[...] Events will work out as you and Ned have already decided they will work out, and they will work out for the best. [...]

(The first two paragraphs were for Sue and Ned Watkins. [...]
