“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Pause.) Then you lack trust in yourselves because you try to live up to images that are not connected with your backgrounds, and often ignore them. [...]

(Long pause.) Love-making reunites you with your own pasts, and unconscious bodily memory carries you backward to your earliest responses to your own body and that of others. [...]

[...] That is (pause), it arouses memories from your own most intimate moments in the past, and therefore in its own way records the development of ideas and attitudes that you might otherwise completely overlook. [...]

[...] Now as Jane paused in her delivery I heard the town sander moving powerfully up Holley Road past our kitchen windows. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The human race is a stage through which various forms of consciousness travel. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

(Long pause.) Those in the later grades you see are to help the others. [...]

[...] Jane’s eyes slowly opened after a long pause. [...]

(Long pause at 9:27. [...] You have both made some rather important connections lately (long pause), that can only serve to remind you of an important point: Ruburt’s “symptoms” should not be regarded as one black blot of a certainly reprehensible quality, sometimes seen in a quite hopeless light, but as a combination or result of quite changeable, quite moveable, quite separate characteristics that can also be dealt with separately, moved around and so forth, relieved or dissolved. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Now in many ways you and other people close your eyes to such probabilities when they do present themselves, so that fears overall predominate, while any desirable characteristics or benefits of whatever quality largely remain unexplored and inactive. [...]

(Long pause.) Animals massage each other, and also use touch healing, and these activities represent the natural characteristics available in the “animal family,” as well as occurring naturally in the family of man. [...]

(Pause at 9:15.) It is quite healthy, particularly at certain stages, for young children to sleep together in the same room or even in the same bed, as long as some opportunity for seclusion is provided to them when they want it—for at night the ancient families did indeed refresh and heal themselves. [...]

(Pause.) If you take this information to heart, you should intuitively realize that by giving birth to the child (pause), you performed a kindly gesture, and opened a door. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Your mother died when you were very young. [...]

[...] (Pause.) She married a man whom you also have known in this existence. [...]

Both of you realize this intuitively. (Long pause.) As personalities however you have worked out your relationship. [...]

(Pause.) He took the dictums of the church seriously, but questioned them with as much passion and enthusiasm as he overall used in his affiliation with the entire church organization. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) By the time Ruburt left the church, he thought that it had also lost its emotional pull upon him. [...]

(Long pause.) Many other people were making that same leap at that time in your society. [...]

(Long pause at 9:02.) The Sinful Self shows itself in a period of transition from its religious to scientific format in science fiction or fantasy in particular, where you can almost trace the translation of religion’s self, tainted by original sin, to the Darwinian and Freudian concepts of the flawed self, bound to destruction one way or another, propelled by the unbridled unconscious or evolutionary defect. [...]

(Pause.) Sometimes to protect themselves because of their beliefs, people then form distorted portraits of themselves, and project these outward “to take life’s arrows,” so to speak. (Pause.) The real personality, however, is never satisfied with such a procedure, and seeks a much fuller, freer expression.

(Pause.) Now Ruburt has had such a condition, for many reasons often given. [...] (Pause.) Exterior changes begin on the inside, and appear then physically—and not the other way around.

(Jane’s delivery was good, interspersed with many pauses. [...]

(Long pause.) Now he wanted to hold such beliefs because he felt he needed that quite painful facade to protect himself from his own spontaneity, and then to protect himself against the world because he felt he was too spontaneous. [...]

[...] In a fashion (long pause) in this latest disaster, they took their land with them in their deaths. The land that is the environment, and the consciousness in your terms of the people, were part of each other in such a strong fashion that their energies merged (pause) to bring about the earthquake conditions. [...]

(Long pause.) I mention these ideas of time also now because they fit in so well with your joint personal preoccupation with time—how to use it, and so forth. (Long pause.) Nebene could also give you more on such issues if you ever find the time (amused). [...]

[...] (Pause.) The Roman soldier had been in several skirmishes in such a village, stealing livestock for his companions. [...]

(Long pause at 10:25.) Nebene had a scholar’s distaste for the peasants, but he also possessed a solid respect for the overall framework of their existence. [...]

Dictation: This inner universe (pause) is a gestalt formed by fields of awareized energy that contains what we will call “information” for now—but we will have some comments later, for this is not the kind of information you are used to.

(Long pause at 9:23.) In the deepest terms, again, your physical world is beginning at each point at which these units of consciousness assert themselves to form physical reality. [...]

You could not afford to identify too completely with such bodies until you learned how to survive within them, so in the dream state (pause) the true processes of life began as these new bodies and earth-tuned consciousnesses saw themselves mentally exercising all portions of the body. [...]

[...] Actually (pause), many other kinds of consciousness, while focused in their own specific ways, are more aware than man is of earth’s unified nature—but man, in following his own ways, also adds to the value fulfillment of all other consciousnesses in ways that are quite outside of usual systems of knowledge.

(Jane’s pause was again very long. Her delivery had been broken by many other short pauses.)

[...] She took many pauses, some of them very long. [...]

(Jane now took another long pause.)

(Pause.) These may be worn. (Pause.) He should not wear any of his mother’s sweaters however.

[...] Her voice was quite a bit deeper also, but not loud; and it was very slow and with many pauses.)

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.)

(She lay back upon her bed and pillow, half crying at times, speaking with a choked voice often, and once again with a different rhythm — one broken by long pauses every few words, as yesterday.)

(Long pause.) Ruburt is not going to die now, to the best of my knowledge.

(Delivery often strange, choked with emotion, long pauses.)

(Long pause.) Instead, have him try to sense the rightness that still works within him. [...]

(Pause at 11:25.) I am generally aware, therefore, of your condition. [...] (Pause.) I am much more concerned with your overall spiritual vitality than I am with what you had for breakfast.

(Pause at 9:35. [...]

[...] (Pause. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] Then in a fairly good voice, but with pauses:)

(Long pause.) With all the best intentions in the world, the nurses are carriers of the most unfortunate medical beliefs. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt should indeed now go into his back room once or possibly twice a day. [...]

(Long pause at 9:16.) Have him keep his recorder at handy reach out there also. [...]

Remind Ruburt further (pause) that he did his best to help your mother, making efforts toward love and communication (long pause) that he felt you were not able to express toward your mother at times.

[...] Then, teary, with many pauses, eyes open most of the time:)

(Very long pause.) The body’s motion already begins to assert itself. [...]

These elements are all living and highly potent in the affairs of his life — so that in no way do his relationships with his mother (pause) become any isolated concentration, existing apart from the other affairs of life. [...]

[...] (Long pause.).... [...] (Long pause.) The Sinful Self was, again, formed in childhood. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Children and adults also need self-respect. [...]

(Long pause at 8:46.) Give us a moment.... [...]

[...] (A one-minute pause.) Give us a moment.... [...]

(Pause at 9:48.) The images that you see in this circumstance represent the thoughts and feelings experienced just before you closed your eyes, or those that were paramount in your mind somewhat previously. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Imaginatively you have greater freedom to express feelings than you do practically. [...]

(Pause at 10:20.) There is a great unity between your daytime symbols and your dreaming ones. [...]

[...] If those reasons change, or if inner psychic developments occur, (pause) then the physical eyes will be healed and the inner mechanism activated. [...]

(Long pause.) The more you try to live “a life of service,” or to concentrate primarily upon providing such a service, the more then your artistic self displays its private nature. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt made certain correlations. [...]

[...] Your discussion reminded him of how he used to be (pause), and also brought up in his mind the seeming contradictions of creativity, in that it is private, but usually ends up as some kind of public expression. [...]

(Long pause.) You kept your own studio apart, say, from the house’s living areas. [...]

A connection now, separate from the merge, with a shoe, a man’s shoe (pause), or a slipper. [...] (Pause.) It is his own (pause), and he concentrates upon it.

[...] She spoke with many rather brief pauses. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause.) He can use also stimuli from you of suggestion and so forth, when momentarily he feels, at least, unable to rouse himself on his own behalf. That is, your invitation, your offer (long pause), is more important than, say, any implied or spoken accusation that implied he should (underlined) work or whatever at any given time. [...]

[...] His available energy is therefore directed to that activity, and with the thyroid still in a defective state, he feels then unaroused, lapses, and largely by such means (long pause) holds the energy that he has left. [...]

(Long pause at 7:44.) Now, he more or less thinks that he must and should return to “work” immediately, where instead a more relaxed attitude would allow his natural feelings, his love of ideas and his interest in our work to naturally show their results again, with the most natural balance of recuperation. [...]

(Long pause.) This may be the end of the session. [...]

[...] (Pause.) It is from a man but there is also a connection with a woman. [...] (Pause.) Having to do with a meeting of many men, and concern over what could be an upsetting element (pause), to upset the meeting.

A chest of drawers (pause), it seems of grandiose design, and of dark wood. (Pause.) Full size, with a frilly shaded lamp on top. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking rather slowly, with pauses. [...]

(Jane now resumed, still with pauses, at 9:07.)
