“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Pause.) When men use tools in accord with (pause) the “dictates” of value fulfillment, those tools are effective. [...]

(10:28.) Now: (Long pause.) Mankind is a species (long pause) that specializes in the use of the imagination, and without the imagination language would be unnecessary. [...]

(Pause.) You are, I hope, coming toward a time of greater psychological synthesis, so that the intuitions and reasoning abilities work together in a much more smooth fashion, so that emotional and intuitive knowledge regarding the meaningfulness of life can find clearer precision and expression, as the intellect is taught—as the intellect is taught—to use its faculties in a far less restricted manner.

[...] These groups represent (long pause) the beginnings of new journeys quite as important to the species as any sea voyage ever was as man searched for new lands.

(Pause at 11:20.) Experiencing that kind of series could lead to entirely different kinds of perception, in which infinities (pause) existed (pause) within a scale of its own. [...]

Give us a moment … (A one-minute pause.) You are not a miniature self, an adjunct to some superbeing, never to share fully in its reality. (Long pause.) In those terms you are that superself — looking out of only one eye, or using just one finger.

[...] She paused, then resumed in the past tense: “It came up fairly close to me. [...]

[...] Pause, eyes closed. [...]

[...] For Jane’s own work, however, I note times, occasional pauses, and any other information in italics, just as I do for Seth’s dictation.

[...] They show up as wars and social disorders on national scales, and as household crises, as illnesses (pause), as calamities on personal levels as well.

[...] (Long pause.) One crisis after another may arise to gain our attention. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) I was placed in a CAT scanner, my bare backside pressed painfully against a cold metal table, my head encircled by the strange doughnut, or globe, while bright white lights and numbers, it seemed, flashed everywhere. [...]

(Pause.) This self-disapproval does not hound you more than other men. [...]

(Pause.) Peace. [...]

[...] I was cynical on occasion (pause), but I had the good sense to know when I was well off—and I did not make my poor belly pay in its corporal innocence. [...]

(Long pause at 3:35.) It is not too frequently noticed, but many so-called mentally deficient people possess their own unique learning abilities — that is, often they learn what they do learn in a different manner than most other people. [...]

(Long pause.) It would seem that infants have no belief systems, and therefore could not be in charge of their own realities in any way. [...]

(Very long pause, eyes closed.) End of dictation.

[...] (Another 40-second pause.) That is a particular group. [...] (A one-minute pause.)

[...] Her pace was quite slow, broken by many pauses that ran to 15-20 seconds. [...]

(Jane took a pause of 40 seconds.)

[...] (Pause at 10:17.)

There is, as I have told you, an inner (pause) “psychological” universe, from which your own emerges, and that inner universe is also the source of Framework 2 as well. [...]

The light of your questions (pause) is, in its way (underlined), an apport from that other inner universe. [...]

(Pause at 9:06.) So-called empty spaces, either in your living room between objects, or the seemingly empty spaces between stars, are physical representations—or misrepresentations—for all of space is filled with the units of consciousness, alive with a light from which the very fires of life are lit.

[...] (Pause.) Others saw you but were unconcerned, showing that the concern was your own, but also expressing the feeling that the world might not really care.

(With a number of long pauses, and quite nasal in tone:)

(Very long pause—one of many such—at 9:59.) I would never stand in the way, however, of Ruburt’s recovery as you understood it. [...]

(Very long pause at 10:14.) He certainly expects more of himself than is required, and I have given a good deal of such material, several months back, I believe. [...]

(Very long pause at 10:16.) The other comments are simply handy Band-Aids, so to speak, but are extremely healthy along the way. [...]

(Jane had again paused and gestured, hands up, eyes closed. Her voice was now quiet, and she paused often. [...]

[...] Her pacing was slow, and she spoke rather slowly, with frequent pauses.)

(Jane now paused beside my table, her eyes closed. [...]

(Jane paused to look at me. [...]

(Pause.) Actually the woman’s condition hid her primary impulse: to communicate better with her husband, to ask him for definite expressions of love. [...]

(Pause.) To me, it is almost inconceivable that, from your position, any of you seriously consider that the existence of your exquisite consciousness can possibly be the result of a conglomeration of chemicals and elements thrown together by a universe accidentally formed, and soon to vanish. [...]

(Pause at 9:51. [...]

(Pause.) The probability that this book would ever exist, itself, would have remained unactualized. [...]

(I might add here that my arbitrary designation of an average pause on Jane’s part might run to perhaps ten seconds. A long or very long pause thus would run twenty or thirty seconds. [...] As said before, while in the state Jane is not aware of the pauses; as far as she is concerned they might as well not exist; or conversely, they could be an hour long.

[...] Her delivery was broken by pauses, also as usual.)

(Jane had been delivering the above paragraph with many pauses. [...]

[...] She did not remember the material, and delivered it with many pauses intermingled, some of them quite long. [...]

(Pause at 9:26.) The inner reality of the message was told in terms that man at the time could understand, in line with his root assumptions. [...]

[...] (Pause; one of many.)

(Pause at 9:47.) The light-and-darkness contrast presents us with the same kind of picture. [...]

(Pause at 10:36. [...]

[...] (Pause.) He has been working there, I believe, on marking grades, or making out some sort of reports which are finding their way into these boxes. He sits now (at 10:09) at a table like a card table, I believe alone, with a game of some sort before him, or at least with a board such as a checkerboard. (Pause.)

(Jane smiled and paused. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] With many pauses:) All That Is, as the source of all realities and experience, is so psychologically complex, so multidimensionally creative, that it constantly surprises itself. [...] It is, in all meanings of the word, divine, yet it disperses even that divinity so that in your terms (long pause), each unit of consciousness contains within itself those properties of divinity. [...]

Imagine, now, as far as you are able, the existence of All That Is, a consciousness (pause) so magnificently complex that what we may call its own psychological compartments are, literally now, infinite. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Your position on the scale of awareness inclines you to categorize consciousnesses so that only your own familiar brand seems to fit the definition—so again here I remind you that consciousness is everywhere in the deepest terms, because All That Is disperses itself throughout physical reality. [...]

(Pause at 9:59.) A small note: Congratulations. [...]

[...] (Pause.) This earlier material however will be continued at our next session. [...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) The hand experience was legitimate. [...]

[...] (Pause.) I believe the woman knows, and wants to see her husband settled in a good physical environment before she leaves. [...]

[...] (Pause.) I will speak to our Aerofranz when he comes to visit. [...]

[...] (A one-minute pause, eyes closed, at 9:32.)

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause at 10:30.) When Seth Two speaks, Ruburt initially is aware of the following: His consciousness strains upward, following an inner psychic pathway, an energized funnel, until quite simply it can go no further. [...]

(Long pause.) Seth Two is familiar with an entirely different set of symbols and meanings, so that, in this case, two translations are being given — one by me and one by Ruburt.

[...] (Pause.) I believe a gold one. [...] (Pause.)

[...] She had smoked and her pace had been a little slower, with pauses. [...]

[...] She used many short pauses, but her pace overall was fairly good. [...]

[...] An outdoor affair is what I am thinking of, and I believe that it was near water (pause), and that there was a connection with boats.

(Pause.) What is usually forgotten is the real nature of aggressiveness, which in its truest sense simply means forceful action. [...]

(Pause at 9:34.) Any attempt to impair the flow of true aggression results in a distortive, uneven, explosive pseudo-aggression that causes wars, individual neurosis, and a great many of your problems in all areas.

(Pause at 10:02.) Do you want a break? [...]

(Long pause.) You are to preserve life consciously, then, as the animals preserve it unconsciously.

[...] (Pause.) Money comes to you in comfortable amounts. (Long pause.) Creatively you deal with events and episodes that are by contrast with most people’s lives, most remarkable. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Some is difficult to explain clearly, because Ruburt wanted to make sure of the validity of the sessions from the start, and because of other material given in the past, he did not fully accept the sessions or his own psychic abilities as an integral part of his personality—since they appeared relatively late in life, where the poetry, for example, had always more or less been apparent. [...]

(Long pause.) I have remarked before that part of the problem lies in discrepancies of growth. [...]

(Pause at 9:41.) You are conditioned to behave in certain fashions in times of stress, so it is indeed at such periods that old beliefs often seem to emerge with fresh force. [...]

(Long pause at 4:28.) A strain develops in the personality as it tries to be faithful to its own private picture of reality, even while it tries to obediently conform to the publicly accepted picture. [...] In many cases people forget (long pause) their native, natural method of seeing themselves and the world, and turn outward to the stylized version—and in so doing they lose sight of vital portions of their own identities. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Conventional wisdom tries to standardize such behavior, however, in an attempt to form a cohesive general view of reality. [...]

[...] These postcard messages usually bear the stylized (long pause) versions of reality that are sent out by various religions or organizations. [...]
