“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Pause.) The conscious mind will always attempt to make sense out of its beliefs, to form them into patterns and sequences. [...]

(Pause at 9:50.) Since it is the beliefs of the conscious mind that regulate the involuntary bodily motions and the entire physical system, then contradictory beliefs obviously set up adverse physical reactions and imbalances. [...]

[...] (Pause.) To protect the integrity of the physical structure, Augustus’s conscious mind neatly divided itself up. [...]

(Pause.) Augustus’s mother noted only that her son seemed highly changeable. [...]

[...] They may personify great agility or strength or power: individual attributes, physical ideals (pause) which are held up to others for their appreciation, and which signify, to whatever extent, abilities inherent in the species itself.

(Pause.) You will not feel the need, say, to “justify your existence” by exaggerating a particular gift, setting up the performance of one particular feat or art as a rigid ideal, when in fact you may be pleasantly gifted but not greatly enough endowed with a certain ability to give you the outstanding praise you think you might deserve.

(Pause.) Your impulses are your closest communication with your inner self, because in the waking state they are the spontaneous urgings toward action, rising from that deep inner knowledge of yourself that you have in dreams. [...]

(Pause.) When I speak of impulses, many of you will automatically think of impulses that appear contradictory or dangerous or “evil” — and that is because you are so convinced of the basic unworthiness of your being. [...]

[...] Then, beginning at 9:25, and with many pauses:)

(Pause.) When you were a child you knew you were growing toward an adulthood. [...]

(Pause at 9:49.) The sciences still keep secrets from each other. [...]

[...] (A one-minute pause.) Like you, she is presented with a life that seems to begin at her birth, and that is suspended from that point of emergence until the moment of death’s departure. [...]

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

(Jane’s pace, voice, pauses, etc. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause at 10:31.) Ruburt may be invited to go somewhere or do something, on a Wednesday shortly, and I suggest that he not do so. [...]

(Pause, one of many.)

With Ruburt’s limited vocabulary, this is rather difficult to explain, but it would be as if the positions of your north and south poles changed constantly while maintaining the same relative distance from each other, and by their change in polarity upsetting the stability (pause) of the planet—except that because of the greater comparative strength at the poles of the units (gestures, attempts to draw diagrams in the air), a newer stability is almost immediately achieved after each shifting. [...]

[...] (Gestures; pause.) There is an explosive nature as the emotional energy is born. [...]

(Seth paused; Jane frowned as though groping for a word.)

(Long pause.) It may be far more pleasant to be good-humored all of the time — but in Ruburt’s situation the fairly infrequent periods of blueness do indeed operate therapeutically, so that he is able to express those feelings through tears, and therefore relieve the body of expressing the same feelings through additional symptoms.

There is a certain residue, in other words (pause) of fairly desolate feelings — and these are working themselves out through such expression, thus freeing the body for additional improvements. [...]

(Long pause at 4:10.) This is now, at least, a natural casting-off of old doubts and fears, but in such a way that they are recognized and then let go.

(Long pause.) The changing condition of the eyes shows the kind of cycles that occur: the upper edges, so to speak, of improvements continue, so that each new improvement is, obviously, superior to the last. [...]

(Jane had been using pauses while speaking. Now however she took what turned out to be the longest pause that I have noted during these sessions. [...]

[...] Her voice was quiet, her pace quite slow and with pauses.)

(Jane resumed in the same quiet voice, with pauses, and with her eyes closed, at 9:36.)

[...] Voice okay, and with the usual pauses:)

(Long pause at 9:28.) In all cases, or in most cases of illness-like difficulties, the question of isolation always enters in, and this is a matter I want to speak about in general, because of its implications in any kind of mental or physical treatment. [...]

[...] Jane’s delivery was quite brisk, with an occasional short pause.)

[...] (With a pause): New paragraph.

(Pause, one of many, at 10:30.) Ruburt has indeed always possessed this ability to a strong degree. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause.) The Nature of Personal Reality¹ is an excellent handbook, one that will enable people to manipulate in the world they know with greater effectiveness. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Their nature is the vitalizing force behind everything in your physical universe, and others as well. [...]

(Long pause, one of many.) I do not want to ruin your idea of stability, and I do not want to confuse you. [...]

[...] “I knew what I was saying when I said it, but I’ve forgotten it all now …” She paused, then continued in a way I thought somewhat unusual for her: “We’re doing the best we can with what abilities we’ve got. [...]

[...] (Pause. [...] (Pause.) And something federal. (Pause.)

[...] She used few pauses, and sat much of the time learning forward with her hands clasped before her and her head tilted down slightly. [...]

(Jane smiled, then paused for emphasis.)

(Jane now paused and smiled. [...]

[...] It may have to do with a young relative of his (pause), or close friend, or someone connected with him. [...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) An intermission now, I sense. [...] (Pause at 10:11.)

(Jane now took a pause that lasted a minute. [...]

(Jane now took a long pause, sitting quietly with her eyes closed. [...]

[...] Pauses as usual.)

Now: this may take us a moment (pause), but Ruburt’s spirits are definitely regaining themselves and their momentum. [...]

(Long pause at 9:18, eyes closed. [...]

(Long pause at 10:32.) Take a brief break. [...]

(Long pause.) Increased motion at certain stages can also be interpreted as irritation—a stage that quickly passes. [...]

[...] Pauses as usual. [...]

(Pause at 9:35.) As I have said frequently, time as you think of it does not exist, yet in your terms, time’s true nature could be understood if the basic nature of the atom was ever made known to you. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The image, for an analogy, of an e-y-e (spelled out) within an eye within an eye, endlessly repeated, may be useful here. [...]

(Pause at 10:29. [...]

(With many pauses to start:)

(Pause at 9:51.) The psyche, your psyche, can record and experience time backward, forward, dash — or sideways through systems of alternate presents (intently) — or it can maintain its own integrity in a no-time environment. [...]

(Long pause, one of many.) We will have to use some of your terms, however, particularly in the beginning. [...]

[...] “I’ve been doing something else,” she said after a lengthy pause. [...]

[...] Wait,” Jane said, after a pause, “I’m getting some words—”

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

(Pause at 10 PM. [...]

(Long pause.) Give us a moment … (Another long pause.)

(A one-minute pause.) The greatest scientific discoveries are always “accidents.” [...]

[...] (Pause.) In your terms, however, the reactions continue.

[...] Jane paused in trance, then proceeded to deliver a good amount of material on several other matters. [...]

(Jane paused. [...]

(Long pause.) The unknown reality, dash — Many of you, I know, would like to find in this book answers pertaining to Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, UFO’s³, and many other such questions. [...]

[...] As Seth, Jane paused during an intent delivery.)

(Pause.) I am a part of your unknown reality, and you are a part of mine. [...]

(Pause.) The Jonestown disaster happened (in November 1978) long after we began this book (in April 1977). [...]

[...] (Pause.) All of this should be fairly well recognized by now. [...]

(Long pause.) The scientists claim a great idealism. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) It cannot value life, and so in its search for the ideal it can indeed justify in its philosophy the possibility of an accident that might kill many many people through direct or indirect means, and kill the unborn as well.²
