“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Her voice was fairly steady, her eyes dark, and she took many pauses. [...]

[...] The two of you can best help each other above all (long pause at 8:29) by communicating as honestly and clearly as possible, for expressions of your love will then come to the surface where on both of your parts that certain emotional expression often goes hungry. [...]

(Long pause.) I am watching out for Ruburt, and have been, and for you as well. [...]

(Long pause.) I am speaking primarily to Ruburt in this particular sentence, but to some extent this applies to both of you, particularly involving the projecting of negative beliefs into the future. [...]

(Pause.) When you think, colon: “Life is earnest,” and decide to put away childish things, then often you lose sight of your own creativity and become so deadly serious that you cannot play, even mentally. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Many of those who use the term do it to hide rather than to release their own joyful abilities. [...]

(A one-minute pause, eyes closed, at 9:42.) When you become too intent to maintain your reality you lose it, for you deny the creativity upon which it rests.

(Long pause.) I am not denying the importance of true reason. [...]

[...] Eyes often closed, voice quiet, many pauses.

(Long pause.) Also, again, to tell him that regardless of the session’s words, new nuances and motions are carried by the session itself.

[...] (Pause.) This more complex reality is an ever-existing property of your personal creaturehood. [...]

(Long pause at 9:50.) A death is but one night to the soul. [...]

(A one-minute pause at 9:55.) Give us time….

[...] On the other hand (pause), I feel a leaning toward psychology. [...] (Pause.) Such a person is afraid to trust any one impulse enough to act upon it. [...]

(Pause.) You live surrounded by impulses. [...]

[...] Here you are searching for the implied source, the unspoken, invisible “pause,” the inner organization that gives language or the self a vehicle of expression. [...] All of the earth’s languages, however, are united because of characteristic pauses and hesitations upon which the different sounds ride.

Even the alterations of obvious pauses between languages make sense only because of an implied, unstated inner rhythm. [...]

[...] Her voice was somewhat distressed, and with many pauses, but okay all in all. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt is joyfully understanding the miracle of normal physical bodily motion. [...]

(Long pause.) I will perhaps briefly return.

(Pause.) The Roman Catholic Church seized upon art, inserted its own strong symbolism, provided art with a recognizable religious, social, and political value. (Pause.) It became, however, a supercharged symbol itself of churchly opulence, and this applies also, for example, in the past to architecture. [...]

When all that was changed, as indeed it should have been (pause), the world underwent great changes. [...]

(Pause.) The founders of the country were still largely men of property, however, and of culture—the signers of your constitution, so they were also careful to provide leeway for the existence of slaves, who, not being considered fully human, need not be granted the rights of the constitution (with irony). [...]

(Pause at 10:22.) Because many people do realize that important contribution, you are financially secure. [...]

[...] (Pause.) In a fashion almost impossible to describe, their consciousnesses—the body’s and the animals’—are “young” in each moment of their existences. [...]

[...] They give their bodies (pause) credit for having an animal’s good sense, vitality and endurance. [...]

(Pause at 9:59. [...]

[...] It wasn’t Seth speaking, but her own delivery was quite precise and unhesitating, and she paused just as Seth did to give me time to write down her words. [...]

(Jane now took a long pause, sitting quietly without moving for perhaps a minute. It was the first such pause she had used in quite a few sessions.)

[...] Her voice was quiet and she used pauses for the first time in quite a few sessions.)

[...] Her pace had been good, even with pauses.

[...] Her voice had been quiet, her manner slow and with pauses. [...]

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.) Your paintings are your own, and I am no artist. [...]

[...] (Pause.

Sorrow or fear obviously show different faces—not only (long pause), the anatomy and the structure [that] forms the living face, but the emotions within that give the muscles and the structures meaning, and that play upon them. [...]

[...] (Smile; pause, eyes closed.) Or is the question itself the important thing, whether or not there is any answer to it in the terms in which it is asked? [...]

(Pause at 10:00.) This is difficult to explain, and even for me to unravel…. [...] (Long pause.) Christ was a great psychic. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) There was a conspiracy in which Judas played a role, an attempt to make a martyr out of Christ. [...]

[...] (A one-minute pause.)

Characteristically, when he leaves his body he does the same thing, hardly pausing at the threshold of alpha but taking off from there.

(Pause at 9:42.) Now: Physically, smell, sight, and sound are combined together to give you your main sense data and compose your physical senses. [...]

(Pause at 10:00.) All of this involves a working with symbols in a most intimate manner. [...]

(10:32.) Pauses then occur. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The more “civilized” man becomes, the more his social structures and practices separate him from intimate relationship with nature — and the more natural catastrophes there will be, because underneath he senses his great need for identification with nature; he will himself conjure it into earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods, so that he can once again feel not only their energy but his own.

(Pause.) As nothing else can, a great encounter with the full energy of the elements puts man face to face with the incredible potency from which he springs.

(Pause at 10:19.) As racial problems may be worked out on many levels, through a riot or a natural disaster, or a combination of both, according to the intensity of the situation on a psychological level; and as physical symptoms can be pleas for help and recognition, so can natural misfortunes be utilized by members of one portion of the country, or one part of the world, to obtain aid from other portions.

(Pause.) As mentioned earlier in this book, Ruburt and Joseph were both involved in a flood situation (in June, 1972), and so I will use that as a case in point and this specific area in particular, although the flood itself was much more far-reaching.

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) I am of course fully aware, already, that greater energy is available, and we shall use it well.

[...] She paused. [...]

[...] (Pause.

(Long pause at 9:54.) Your beliefs act like a hypnotist, then. [...]

(Pause.) On the other hand, such beliefs can be accepted when it appears that the conscious mind is asleep, or dulled as in periods of shock, or during operations. [...]

(Pause.) Formal hypnosis merely brings about an accelerated version of what goes on all the time. [...]

(Pause at 10:42.) We are going to deal with practical methods that will allow you to alter beliefs and change your experience. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

It is possible (pause, long) that the changes of which Philip has been told will not occur and were furthermore not intended to occur: that he has been told so for other reasons.

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Long pause.) All elements of life are optimistic.

(Long pause.) Children spontaneously take it for granted that their acts will result in the most favorable circumstances, and that any given situation will have a favorable end result. [...]

(Pause at 4:32.) Comments.

(Jane’s Seth voice was a bit stronger than usual, more forceful, and with the usual pauses.)

[...] (Long pause.) There are also individuals whose beliefs cause them to feel very uncomfortable when they are in a state of health — and for these individuals poor health brings a sense of security and safety.

There are innumerable stages of health, from high, sheer, energetic exuberance (long pause) to dwindling lethargy and discomfort. [...]

[...] She did fairly well in between pauses and hesitations, and finished at 3:l6. [...]
