“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Pause.) It deepens the Sinful Self’s sense of isolation. [...]

(Pause at 8:48.) Then a lack of communication developed, so that various portions of the personality “hardened” their own positions, sometimes holding quite different sets of beliefs. [...]

(Pause.) As that happens, the Sinful Self will also be able to take greater benefit from our sessions. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Remember that all portions of the personality are conscious. [...]

(Pause at 10:08.) So true art must in a vital fashion be divorced from utility, or from its function outside of itself, or you will end up with something else entirely. [...]

(Pause.) Ruburt has felt too responsible to develop his psychic abilities, to produce another “psychically inspired” work of his own. [...]

(Pause.) This led certainly to conflict. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) His own earlier attitudes about such matters began to seem cowardly, so he tried to divorce himself from them. [...]

(One minute pause.)

(One minute pause.

[...] (Pause.)

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

[...] (Pause.) Physically speaking, man’s “purpose” is to help enrich the quality of existence in all of its dimensions. [...] (Pause.) In his thinking, in the quality of his thoughts, in their motion, he is indeed experimenting with a unique and a new kind of reality, forming other subjective worlds which will in their turn grow into consciousness and song, which will in their turn flower from a dream dimension into other ones. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) At the time of this awakening man did experience, then, some sense of separation from his dream body, and from his own inner reality—the world of his dreams—but he was still far more aware of that subjective existence than you are now.

(Pause at 9:31.) All units of consciousness, whatever their degree, possess purpose and intent. [...]

(Long pause, then very intently:) We will return to the subject of war later on. [...]

[...] I could dictate a reply that would satisfy him well enough, but it would (pause) perhaps be the more distorted the more it was geared for his understanding.

[...] (Pause.) Its properties are psychological, following the logic of the psyche, and all of the physical properties that you understand are reflections of those deeper issues. [...]

(Pause.) It is not just that your view of reality is relative to your position within the universe, but that the universe itself is different according to your position within it, and that spiritual or psychological rules apply. [...]

(Pause.) In your realm of reality, there is no real freedom but the freedom of ideas, and there is no real bondage except for the bondage of ideas (intently), for your ideas form your private and mass reality. [...]

[...] (Pause.) A bookmark that reminds me of a fabric, of natural color, as of bamboo color. (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause at 10:07.) Dr. Instream’s own experiments in hypnosis are now going well, and he received a particular communication yesterday in regard to them. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] Now the impression of a small wooden box, quite small (pause) with something like medals or buttons in it. [...] (Long pause at 10:11.)

[...] Her pace was not very slow, however, although she took a few long pauses. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause.)

A very good sense of rhythm (pause), but a great difficulty in communicating with words, a verbal incapacity. You could compensate for this however strongly enough (pause), in your occupation, in that when words were mixed with music you followed the rhythm and could speak clearly and well.

[...] (Pause.)

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

[...] (Pause.) You came before an invasion. [...]

(Pause at 9:16. Jane, as Seth, took a lengthy pause as a fire engine passed the house, its siren screaming.)

[...] (Pause.) A great simplicity is necessary, and out of this, many of the most lowly in men’s terms also share in these communications. [...] (Long pause.) Those from both your past and your future have a hand in your present world, and at this level the problems that have been met and will be encountered are being discussed. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Long pause.)

(Once again, today her Seth voice was stronger than usual, with pauses.)

[...] (Pause.) It is also composed of highly charged consciousness that operates almost in a leapfrog fashion, with great bursts of exuberance and vitality. [...]

(Long pause at 4:36.) In the deepest of terms, while each body has a history, each moment in the body’s existence is also new, freshly emerging into the world, innocent and unique. [...]

[...] You were (pause) each present at the beginning of the world, then, though you may be present in the world now in a somewhat different fashion.

[...] They worked mentally while asleep, constructing in their individual minds and in their joint mental endeavors (long pause) all of the dazzling images that would later become a mental reservoir from which men could draw. [...]

(A one-minute pause at 9:13.) Those entities are in trance, in those terms, but their potency is not diminished, and there is constant communication among them always.

(Long pause.) There is also constant communication between them and you at other levels than those you recognize, so that there is an unending interplay between each species and its environment.

(Pause.) When you are determines where you are. (Long pause.) Space is in many ways more “timely” than you think. [...]

[...] (Pause.) You are usually conscious of events that are significant neurologically, and that neurological timing is the end result of an [almost]² infinite series of sequences. (Pause.) Those sequences are areas in which activities happen. [...]

(Pause.) “When (underlined) You Are Who You Are. [...]

[...] Each such invisible particle contains within itself the potential (pause) to embark upon an infinite number of probable variations of consciousness. [...]

[...] (With many pauses:) When I speak of the dream world, I am not referring to some imaginary realm, but to the kind of world of ideas, of thoughts, of mental actions, out of which all form as you think of it emerges. [...]

(Long pause.) In the beginning, then, the species did not have the kinds of forms they do now. [...]

[...] (Pause.) In your terms of time, however, the dream bodies took on physical forms. [...]

(Pause.) Again, the world came into being in the same way that any idea does. [...]

[...] She began speaking in an average voice, with pauses and with her eyes closed, while sitting down.)

Individually, you move in a very limited area of this vast universe, and yet inner reality is more (long pause) massive in size, if you speak in terms of size. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] She had spoken with pauses.

(Pause.) The body is composed of organs, physical parts, living matter—but the body is also composed of processes, relationships that exist on all levels between various portions of the body and between the body and its environment. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There are no closed processes. [...]

Add to this the fact that he is learning to trust his body (pause), but is still at times besieged by doubts, and his difficulty is explained. [...]

(Pause.) In ways really difficult to describe, your bodily processes, and what you think of as, say, cultural or national events, are highly connected and a part of each other. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Give us a moment. (Long pause, leaning forward, eyes closed.)

(Long pause... [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] Pause.) The nature of your personal beliefs in a large measure directs the kinds of emotions you will have at any given time. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The schools of “positive thinking” try to remedy the situation, but often do more harm than good because they attempt to force beliefs upon you that you would like to hold, but do not in your present state of confusion.

(Pause.) No one can do this for you. [...]

(Jane paused, still in trance. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Give us a moment here. (Pause, eyes closed.)

(Jane began speaking in a rather quiet voice and with quite a few pauses. [...]

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

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause at 10:05.) Even poetry did not seem to be work for a while, for example, nor did psychic activity for its own sake (Long pause.) All of this in its way fits together with other material—but no writers of merit, for example (intently), outside of Richard Bach, have written him to applaud his work, and to the writing community it seems he does not exist. [...]

(Long pause at 10:20.) The public image is bound to make him feel inferior if he takes it too seriously. [...] (Pause.) It will serve to inspire others, but each person is responsible for his or her own life, and Ruburt does not have a private clientele, nor is he temperamentally suited to use his psychic abilities to track people down or to serve as a therapist. [...]

(A long, uncomfortable pause at 9:4l.) Ruburt could have said, “I bear no responsibility for Seth’s words, since they are not mine in the usual fashion.” [...]

(Pause at 9:44.) There was a necessary period of time in which Ruburt and yourself experimented in several areas of psychic exploration, quite rightly picking and choosing those areas that suited you best, and ignoring others that you found for whatever reasons unsuitable. [...]

(Long pause.) The individuals concerned pretend to themselves that they have no memory of the other personalities’ existences or activities. [...] In this way (pause), different kinds of behavior may be exhibited, and while it would seem that many decisions are made by one portion of the self, without another portion of the self knowing anything about it, such usually is not the case. [...]

[...] They divide it up so that it seems to belong (long pause) to different personalities, and is therefore effectively divided. [...]

(Pause at 4:37.) Comments.
