“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Her voice was good, with pauses.)

[...] (Long pause.) I will however, because I do sympathize, see to it that Ruburt’s condition immediately changes for the better, in all ways.

(Long pause, eyes closed.) It will be easiest for you, Joseph, to attain and remember projections on the 2nd, 12th and 24th nights of a month; and Ruburt on the 3rd, 9th and 27th. [...]

(Long pause, eyes still closed.) An event in a week and a half, that will be beneficial for you both.

(Pause.) Genetic events are not irrefutable in a deterministic fashion. [...] (Pause.) Genetic events are (underlined) then events, though at a different level of activity than you are used to thinking of.

[...] (Pause.) If there were no idiots among you, you would soon find that geniuses were absent also.

(Long pause.) I am not simply saying that genetic activity can be changed, for example, through something like a nuclear accident, but that highly beneficial alterations can also take place in genetic behavior, as in your terms the genetic structure not only prepares the species for any contingency, but also prepares it by triggering those characteristics and abilities that are needed by the species at any given time, and also by making allowances for such future developments (all quite forcefully).

[...] (Long pause.) It represents your physical reference point, your bodily framework. [...]

(Pause.) For many years you both pursued your arts despite living amidst such cultural beliefs. [...]

(Long pause.) In an industrialized society, people were trained to fit into assembly line productions. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) This love and this pleasure automatically put the individual in harmony with the nature of existence itself, for existence operates in the same manner. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Because women were somehow regarded as less responsible than males, more easily given to frivolity, Ruburt also tried even harder to insure that he was acting in a responsible way. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Your suggestions as to the séances and Ruburt’s as to other experiments — these ideas are both good ones.

(Long pause at 9:27.) Now: Give us a moment and we will resume dictation. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) The attention seems focused here. [...] (Pause.)

(Jane paused and smiled. [...]

[...] She spoke now with many rather short pauses. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause.) He considered himself to be excellent at his work. [...]

(Pause.) Because of his beliefs he considered himself somewhat of a failure, and the rich, evocative nature of his own stories did not meet with the approval of his academically attuned mind. [...]

[...] (Pause.) What you are dealing with, then, in creativity is a continuing kind of psychic play, an activity that probes into the nature of inner reality and explores it with as much sheer vitality as that with which the child explores physical reality. [...]

[...] (Pause.) That kind of mental and psychic expansion in one way or another constantly occurs. [...]

(Pause.) This is still very difficult to verbalize. (Pause.) The main, driving, clear, emotional intent in such a project is the author’s. The book is his baby. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Your questions about the operation of Framework 2 seem certainly to be simple, straight-forward questions, answerable in three or four or five pithy paragraphs (with humor)—and of course I will try to give you a straight-forward reply. [...]

(Pause.) All of our analogies taken together, you see, only hint at the true picture, but if I cannot describe clearly to you in your terms the interaction between Framework 1 and 2, then we will have difficulty with other later material. [...]

[...] It is as if—forgive the crossing analogies—the production of the book (pause) is transferred to another level. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) He must learn to handle normal aggressions, and yet when he is operating spontaneously his natural exuberance is a mechanism for such release. (Long pause.) He was aware of your feelings. [...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause.) You resented it when he began typing some of the sessions. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Incidentally, you also wanted Ruburt thin, you see. [...]

[...] (Pause, eyes closed.)

[...] (Pause.) Our friend Ruburt must be entirely committed (pause), in order to succeed, but once committed his success is assured.

[...] (Pause.) Through easy success, through in fact a far more shallow route, but the intuitive self would have suffered drastically in your future, and there would have been severe difficulties.

[...] (Pause.) But he did not even do this with any true (underlined) logic, while he distrusted himself, or distrusted the intuitive and revelationary (underlined) aspect of the material. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Poetry could not however express in a consistent way those intricate patterns so that they could be clearly understood.

(Pause.) I did not hear you.

[...] (Pause.) Do you have questions on our present discussion?

[...] (Pause.) Victoria, the place. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) Give me a moment, please. (One minute pause.)

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

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause.

(Long pause.) The waking state as you think of it is a specialized extension of the dream state, and emerges from it to the surface of your awareness, just as your physical locations are specified extensions of locations that exist first within the realm of mind.

(Pause.) When you examine the state of dreams, however, you do it as a rule from the framework of waking reality. [...]

[...] (Pause.) You create lives for yourselves, changing them as you go along, as a writer might change a book, altering the circumstances, changing the plots. [...]

[...] Jane’s delivery had fluctuated between using many pauses and being rather fast. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt felt those issues could not be buried under the rug, but he did not realize the extent to which some of those old beliefs still lingered. (Long pause.) The Sinful Self’s explanation represents a fascinating psychological document in that regard, and also shows the self’s mobility and willingness to learn and change—once the intent is made to take a stand (intently). [...]

(Pause.) I understand Ruburt’s distress at times with the odd feelings of balance, but remember that these represent multitudinous changes and motions within the body, new positions requiring minute alterations of muscular tension that are actually highly beneficial. [...]

[...] (Pause.) That material can quite legitimately “take the place of” a regular session for the week. [...]

(A one-minute pause at 9:00. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

(Pause.) True and basic perception is a highly complicated phenomena, in which the line between perceiver and perceived vanishes. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause.) The brain is capable (underlined)of interpreting and transmitting far more inner information than it does. [...]

(Pause.) All in all, however, we are speaking of a constant creation, even though I must explain it in serial terms. [...]

[...] This model is seen to have its origin (long pause, eyes closed) within a vast, infinite, divine subjectivity—a subjectivity that is within each unit of consciousness, whatever its degree. [...]

(Long pause at 9:37, one of many.) This divine psychological process—and “process” is not the best word here—this divine psychological state of relatedness forms from its own being worlds within worlds. [...]

[...] But now her pace slowed down even more; she used many long pauses.)

[...] A one minute pause. [...]

(Long pause, eyes closed.) E-ven seem-ing fail-ures serve as ex-peri-ence in worlds you do not know. [...]

(Pause.) There are no fu-tile acts, for all of them are val-id, and con-trib-ute to banks of ex-peri-ence and to the birth of cells who are en-dowed with your ex-peri-ence as knowledge.

(Pause.) So do you benefit from other sour-ces of wis-dom than your own. [...]

Now: You cannot prove scientifically that [your] world was created (pause) by a god who set it into motion, but remained outside of its dominion. [...]

[...] (Pause.) We will hope to show that this divine subjectivity is as present in the world of your experience as it was before the beginning of the universe. [...]

[...] All That Is possessed (pause) a creativity of such magnificence that its slightest imaginings, dreams, thoughts, feelings or moods attained a kind of reality, a vividness, an intensity, that almost demanded freedom. [...]

(Pause at 9:31.) All That Is contained within itself the knowledge of all existences, with their infinite probabilities, and “as soon as” All That Is imagined those numberless circumstances, they existed in what I will call divine fact.

Dictation: (Pause, one of many.) Now: To a certain extent (underlined), epidemics are the result of a mass suicide phenomenon on the parts of those involved. [...]

(Long pause.) The environment in which an outbreak occurs points at the political, sociological, and economic conditions that have evolved, causing such disorder. [...]

(Pause at 10:16.) Despair may seem passive only because it feels that exterior action is hopeless — but its fires rage inwardly, and that kind of contagion can leap from bed to bed and from heart to heart. [...]

(Long pause at 10:31.) Give us a moment… Even in the days of the great plagues in England there were those smitten who did not die, and there were those untouched by the disease who dealt with the sick and dying. [...]

(Long pause.) You had your own experiences last evening: your foreknowledge of your friend’s phone call, and the unorthodox (long pause) knowledge about the money — and those two events happened because you did indeed want another small assurance of the mind’s capabilities despite the official concepts of the mind, by which you are so often surrounded.

Exuberance (pause) and a sense of vitality are always present to some degree or another.

There are innumerable ways of reclaiming joy in living, however, and in so doing (long pause) physical health may be reclaimed by those who have found it lacking in their experience.

(Long pause at 4:29.) The quality of life is intensely important, and is to a large extent dependent upon a sense of well-being and self-confidence. [...]

(Pause at 10:32.) Next chapter [Eighteen]: “Inner Storms and Outer Storms. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Earthquakes are very often associated with periods of great social change or unrest, and from such locations the fault lines originate and are projected outward. [...]

(Pause at 11:38.) You do not need a self-conscious mind to feel, and in the “past,” earthquakes represented the feeling-patterns of species in the same way — unstable conditions of consciousness that in themselves initiated natural phenomena, further altering the state of consciousness and the conditions of species as well.

(Long pause at 11:54.) Yet with all of this there is always change, as with the experience of time in a linear fashion any event must “knock out” another one. [...]
