“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Here knowledge is sifted through self-structures. (Pause.) Pure knowledge is not impersonal. To the contrary (smile; pause), it is meaningless unless it is (smile; gesture; pause), experienced intimately within every part of an identity. But to you it would seem impersonal.

I seem less of a personality to you than the Seth that you knew, because my personality (pause) exists in quite different terms. (Long pause.) To me, a thought is as real as a day to you. A day that can be experienced in a variety of ways, and that can be viewed from literally endless perspectives. (Pause, over one minute.)

Now you are merged with a concept, now, of what you are. So merged that you cannot see your way clearly out of the concept, nor easily imagine reality from any other viewpoint but the self-structure that you presently imagine yourself to be. (Pause.) Another part of your whole identity is quite aware that you are delving into one concept of yourself. To delve into it, you gladly and willingly momentarily forget the greater portions of yourself. You experience the concept fully. Your prime identity is quite aware of other self-concepts that are also being experienced. (Pause.)

He is another aspect of me while being himself. (Pause.) In your terms, I am a guide he also follows. He is much more aware of our relationship however than you are of your relationship to him. (Pause; well over one minute long.) Your time is required… These communications change me as they change you, for they are action on both of our parts. Your egos are being well educated, since they are aware of the sessions, and this will be of great benefit to you when other coordinates come into your perception.

[...] A stalling (long pause), in the air. (Long pause.) The pilot bailed out. (Long pause.) The chute landed on top of him, never fully opened. (Pause.) A connection with an April day. [...]

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed, then open.) A death by drowning, rather than fire. [...] (Pause.) He did not realize the implications, the immediacy, of an object pulled up as he pushed. [...] The 13 mentioned earlier may possibly refer to highway numbers (pause) of a road running past the tackle shop.

[...] (Pause.) There was no explosion. (Long pause.) Where the plane fell was not as far out from land as it would seem.

[...] She used many pauses, some of them quite long, in delivering this material.)

(Pause.) Do not ask any questions here. [...] Difficulty with a third vertebra (pause), leading to unequal nerve pressures. [...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) Give us time here. (Long pause.) The condition leads at times to a bunching of muscles in the side of the neck in precisely this area (Jane touched the right side of her neck) that can occasionally appear almost as a hardish lump. [...] (Pause, head down.)

[...] (Pause.) It is risky however to live today in such a manner. [...] (Pause.) In the precise moment in which you spoke the words, there was a probability, and a good one, that the event would occur as stated.

[...] (Pause.) In an Australian connection. A room (pause) that appears bare, though it is not necessarily, giving the impression of more size than it possesses. [...]

(Pause.) To me this would be highly disadvantageous. From my viewpoint, you are far more alone than I. (Long pause.) From my viewpoint, it is difficult to understand your intense preoccupation with a system that represents such a small portion of your whole experience. (Pause.)

[...] The voice is very clear, without much volume and many pauses, most of them short. [...] This effect still fools me at times, for a sentence will have ended whereas I think Jane has only paused briefly in the midst of one.

[...] (Pause.) From my viewpoint (pause) I do not perceive your physical universe then as you do. [...]

(Pause, eyes open, then closed.) I am not always aware of the you that you feel yourself to be, however. (Pause.) Seth has told me that in some future, in your terms, he would help me in this regard; bringing me closer, he said, for a good look. [...]

Metal connected with the statue (pause) and it seems a modern street light very close nearby. (Pause.) Connected with this, very dim here: Concordiant. (Pause; my interpretation; her eyes closed, Jane attempted to write in the air with a finger the words she tried to pronounce.) De, I believe, seven—Savrantinos (halting pronunciation) I said concordi—Concordiat de Savrantino.

[...] (Long pause.) The inner conflict, you see, appears in imbalances now within the system, where sets of muscles (pause) battle with other sets: this setup, the nervous hip disorders. [...]

[...] (Pause. Jane spoke with many pauses.) A 4 7 5, or 1475. [...]

[...] (Pause.) A waitress with some mark visible on the arm. A dark mark or bruise perhaps, (pause) or this could be a patch of dark freckles. [...]

[...] (Pause, hand to eyes. [...] (Pause.) The information already given to you regarding the nature of personality gestalts should make this development seem indeed a fitting one.

There was a point, you see, of interpretation and translation (pause) as Seth interpreted material from me in such a way that Ruburt could then receive it. At our last session, with the greater efficiency and the development on Ruburt’s part (pause), the material was more direct, and the translation at his end automatic and smoothly performed.

[...] (Pause.) Keep in mind that all names are arbitrary, and we use them merely for your convenience, as we use words. [...] (Long pause; voice light, not like Seth.)

(Pause.) I have done my best to give you an understanding as a basis for our future sessions. [...] (Pause.) My personality structure is far different—very rewarding to me (smile, eyes open), but very unfamiliar to you. [...]

I want it understood (pause) that the accomplishment (pause) is breathtaking in its grandeur — more so because man formed from his psyche such a multidimensional spiritual drama that its light struck upon this or that person, this or that place, and formed a story (pause) more powerful than any physical event could be — hence its power (emphatically).

(Pause.) Now in the facts of history, there was no crucifixion, resurrection, or ascension. In the terms of history there was no biblical Christ (pause), whose life followed the details given. [...]

(Long pause at 9:05.) I have told you, however, that the world of events springs from the world of ideas. [...] (Long pause.) You might say that the labor pains (intently) were happening then, but the birth itself did not emerge for some time later.

(Jane’s delivery for Seth seemed to be the same as ever, except that she took longer pauses between sentences — almost as though she waited a bit each time to gather the impetus to deal with her very relaxed physical state. [...]

[...] (Pause.) I believe but am not certain, that the individual will not be originally from this area, or, if so, will be connected with another area. (Pause.)

[...] (Jane shakes head, pauses.) Drinking is a turnabout in her case. [...] (Long pause; very long, eyes closed.)

[...] (Pause.) Now as to your picture of your sister, a period approximately six months distant and the probability of a bathroom tumble, that can be averted if no small rugs are used on the floor. [...]

[...] No severe (underlined) difficulty would result in any case, but an ugly bruise (pause), I believe by the right ear, and some twisting of a foot.

[...] (Long pause.) I have made contact with the woman on one occasion. (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (One minute pause, eyes closed.)

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause, one of many.) With Ruburt’s limited vocabulary, this is rather difficult to explain, but it would be as if the positions of your north and south poles changed constantly while maintaining the same relative distance from each other, and by their change in polarity upsetting the stability (pause) of the planet—except that because of the greater comparative strength (pause) at the poles of the units (gestures, attempts to draw diagrams in the air), a newer stability is almost immediately achieved after each shifting. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The initiation point is the basic part of the unit, as the nucleus is the important part of the cell. The initiating point is the originating, unique, individual and specific emotional energy, or EE (pause), that forms any given unit. [...]

[...] (Pause, one of many.) Ruburt need not worry that he has missed a few regular sessions. [...]

(Pause.) He is doing well with the book. [...]

(Pause.) These coordinates form all realities. [...] Camouflages spring up (pause) along the coordinates, and moment points offer endless opportunities for further expression and development. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) My communications are dependent upon Seth’s permission as well as Ruburt’s. The material should still be called the Seth material, for I am an aspect of Seth that you did not know, and in the past I helped him deliver material though I did not directly attend sessions. (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause. [...] (Long pause.)

(I asked the last question at 10:37, after a lengthy pause, to see if the session was over. [...] Well over a minute paused. [...]

[...] Her pace once again became quite slow, with many pauses; although she would give a paragraph of material rather quickly at times between pauses. [...]

[...] Directly behind our friends (pause), there is a female in blue. [...] (Pause, at 9:30; Jane shook her head in vexation.)We will try to clear this up. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The woman directly behind our friends’ seat may have a child with her. [...] (Long pause.)

An M, S. (Pause.) A disagreement today between Dr. Instream and a man with a mustache, over money and a policy, having to do with how funds should be used. Some connection with a fortification (pause) or government training program of military nature.

[...] (Long pause.) A disagreeable, I believe, family situation in 1953 for him. (Long pause.) A mild astonishment or surprise for him, having to do with something French or foreign. (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause. [...] (Pause.) Such a book would have nothing whatsoever to do with Ruburt’s writing, which should progress at its own rate.

[...] (Pause.) 34. [...] Connection with a W. (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause.) Give us a moment.

[...] (Pause.) The first (gesturing) T a n z. 1487, 1535, dying in Turkey. [...] (Pause.) A tendency then to run from problems, and a fear of settling in one place.

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) The endeavor hardly made him rich however. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Returning to the material on perception, there are changes in the positive and negative atomic charges, alterations of movement inside the atoms in the smaller particles (long pause), a change in pulsation rate. (Long pause; eyes closed; smile.) The activity of molecules actually is caused by perceptive qualities. [...]

[...] (Pause.) It is in one way the natural order of the material, but also your own development was my beginning point. [...]

[...] (Smile; pause.) It need not worry. [...]

(Pause.) Now. [...]

(Long pauses.) You do not have to worry in an overly strained way about putting the new principles of life into practical experience at once. You do not need to worry or deride yourselves for stupidity if it appears (very long pause, eyes closed, at 9:04), looking over the long annals of work that we have done together, that it should have been obvious that our ideas were leading in certain directions—for not only have I been trying to divest you of official ideas, but to prepare you for the acceptance of a new version of reality: A version that could be described in many fashions. [...]

(9:24.) You should understand that the approach is the best one to use in life, generally speaking, but it will improve all conditions, even if you still have difficulties in certain areas (pause), and that its use cannot help but promote the overall quality of your lives. That recognition takes the pressure off, so that you can to some extent relax your old attitudes enough so that you allow the magical approach (long pause) to work in those areas that have been a bone of contention. [...]

(Long pause at 9:37.) In a fashion, all of the material that I have given you in the annals of our relationship was meant to lead you in one way or another to a place where the true nature of reality could at least be glimpsed. [...] In a manner of speaking Ruburt’s physical condition represents the bruises, the wounds inflicted upon any individual in his or her long journey (long pause) toward a greater comprehension of life’s experience. [...]

(With pauses:) Ruburt is truly beginning to understand that the Magical Approach is indeed the natural approach to life’s experience. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The vast range of psychological expression, however, had some kind of framework to contain it. (Pause.) The saint and the sinner (pause) each had access to great depths of possible heroism or despair. Psychological reality, for all of the religious (pause) dangers placed upon it, was anything but a flat-surfaced experience. [...]

(Long pause at 9:33.) Unfortunately, with the development of the scientific era, a development occurred that need not have happened. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Modern psychology was an attempt to make man conform to the new scientific world view.

[...] (Pause.) There is no doubt that the church cast the soul in a position of stress, caught as it was between its heavenly source and original sin — but there was a sense of psychological mobility involved, one that saw continued existence after death.

The value of the integers thrusts forward and back, pulsating like reflection (pause) that draws (quadrants or integers) (better put those terms in parenthesis, Jane said, since she wasn’t sure of the word to use) like a magnet, adding their value to their own. (Pause.)

You force stability upon them, but you cannot predict their action (puzzled again), when you cross them (pause), in the nature of a pi. [...] The negative values about it will supersede and gobble the integrity of 3; unload the 7. Greek (Jane paused and sat with her head cocked as though listening), and the theorems of (“I’m having trouble with the name.”) Minopeles (my phonetic interpretation), a minor mathematician.

[...] The unifying nature (pause) underlying the principle of P S I (spelled) group together in a conciliatory fashion. You will find that marvelous aptitude (pause), of the psi factor beneath. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Freedom to the 9th power.

[...] (Pause.) No known method can now disturb them. (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause.) Your original equation staggers under the weight of imponderables. [...] The unshaken zero, gobbles two 7’s (pause), and structure or form is eaten away from the inside.

Mine is the hand that wrote (a long, puzzled pause, eyes closed), finis (hesitantly spelled out), to the proposition dealing with (pause, voice weaker), uncharted (voice suddenly stronger) then uncharted, aspects of... [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Greek speculation, and renaissance—popular(long pause; faint words:) ... [...]

[...] (Pause.) You agree upon your time concepts—they are like gentlemen’s agreements. [...] (Long pause.)

[...] Jane spoke with eyes opening at times, and with many pauses, some of them long.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] Some of these are of such immense intensity that they form systems (long pause, over one minute) that contain what you would call universes.
