“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane now took what I term a long pause, lasting about a minute. Her pace had been slow; the above paragraph had been broken by many shorter pauses.)

(Jane took another pause. [...] It is probably as long a pause as she has taken during the sessions. [...]

[...] Jane said that the extra long pause listed above was a most unusual one, however, in that it reminded her of being connected with a “dead” telephone. During most pauses, when she is aware of them, she feels that even though she may not be speaking she is still connected with a live source.

(Jane took another pause. [...] Jane took many pauses while delivering it, and until just before break she sat quite still. [...]

(Long pause at 8:50. [...] When she takes many long pauses punctuation becomes more difficult, and as Seth she’s more apt to skip an occasional word, which complicates things. [...]

(Very long pause.) I will close for this evening.... [...] (long pause).... [...]

(Long pause at 8:43.) Ruburt is using the thyroid aid well—the medication. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) There are times when circumstances make some conditions more palatable than others, times when a trip to an emergency room is quite necessary. [...]

To some extent punctuation is sound that you do not hear, a pause that implies the presence of withheld sound. [...] In that context, however, silence involves merely a pause of sound in which sound is implied but withheld. [...]

(Pause at 9:35, one of many.) The language of love did not initially (underlined) involve images, either. [...]

(A one-minute pause.) Each natural element had its own key system that interlocked with others, forming channels through which consciousness could flow from one kind of life to another. [...]

(Long pause.) A person’s identity was private, in that man always knew who he was. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Also a design or initials (pause) scratched deeply into the object. (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause.) The second and third projection forms have electromagnetic realities. (Pause.) We are going slow here to get this material through clearly.

[...] (Pause.) Perhaps in connection with another man with an E initial. [...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) Perhaps a connection with something not asked for, or not wanted or required. (Pause.)

[...] (Long pause.) In that regard it is important that he realize this. [...] (Pause.) The creative abilities most often serve as psychological bridges, enabling man to conceive of the existence of realities outside of his own particular point of reference. [...] They can serve as thresholds (long pause), but they cannot contain direct experience themselves with events that are intrinsically beyond those reaches. [...]

[...] (Pause.) From the beginning Ruburt has questioned whether or not our material gave a true explanation of reality—or at least presented one that was as approximately true as possible. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Inside of that framework you have very few alternatives to deal with. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The larger facts about psychological reality, for example, cannot be fitted to the world’s definitions. [...]

(Long pause, one of many.) Give us a moment… (Long pause.) It is very difficult to explain. (Pause.) In a way, some disease states help to insure the survival of the species — not by weeding out the sickly but by introducing into large numbers of individuals the conditions needed to stabilize other strains within the species that need to be checked, or to “naturally inoculate” the species against a sensed greater danger.

[...] You would not have had (pause) any way (pause) of conceiving of objects that did not already exist. [...]

(Pause.) Briefly, remember analogies I have made in the past, comparing the landscape of physical experience to the painter’s landscape — which may be dark, gloomy, filled with portents of disaster, and yet still be a work of art. [...]

(Pause.) These portraits, however, are the result of creativity so inborn and miraculous that they are created automatically — an automatic art. [...]

He did not want to use his work (pause) to place his work, at the service of a cause to which he was not indelibly committed. (Long pause, eyes closed.) He has always been concerned with teaching, as I have been. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The inner self grappled. [...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] His mother, incidentally, was deeply terrified of faith healers. (Pause.)

(Long pause.) He grew up of course with many responsibilities in connection with the care of his mother. Again, there were no known rules of procedure (long pause) to follow as far as his own career was concerned. [...] (Long pause.) That kind of responsibility runs directly counter to creativity. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt has at times gone overboard in a feeling of responsibility toward those who write in need. [...] (Long pause.) Ruburt is not responsible at all in such areas to hold sessions for others, or to provide that particular kind of individual help. [...]

(Long pause at 9:22.) Now nothing is all that simple, so there would be changes in his attitudes: He would tell himself, for example, that television or whatever would fritter away his time, or at other occasions other fears would rise so that the Sinful Self would think “Suppose such activity succeeded only too well, leading whole groups of people away from established systems of belief?” (Long pause.) There seemed to be little resolution. [...]

(Pause.) Your mail presents you with glimpses of the people who read our books, from all walks of life, in all circumstances. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Give us a moment. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Ruburt does rely on you as a partner in these endeavors. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There are survival personalities who help you. [...]

[...] Almost a merging (pause), in which there is a freer interplay of molecules between the table and the physical organism. [...]

Ruburt will address the group in any case (pause), and many times in the future. [...] (Pause.) Ruburt should make no future hard decisions as to what he will and will not do, but give the intuitive self freedom in such cases.

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

[...] (Pause.) You are not to avoid contact, and to do us full justice this would be impossible. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause.) Give us a moment.... (Long pause, eyes closed.) This advice, simple as it sounds, will lead toward further insights on his part. [...]

(Long pause.)I hope to finish our book regardless of your publishing plans and so forth, and at this general point that will be beneficial to our friend as he sees some daily accomplishment made in that area. (Long pause.) Your establishment, being cleared of working men, will also help clear the air. [...]

(Long pause at 9:04.) There is no doubt that differing portions of Ruburt’s body are quite comfortable, and far more flexible, when he relaxes in such a fashion. [...]

I am still in the process of trying to reassure him, of course, but in a fashion we are indeed dealing with a kind of biological logic that will stand up in its own light—that will produce its own evidence as you learn to accept the rightness of your bodies (pause), and their abilities, for they are natural healing mechanisms. [...]

[...] (Pause.) In a fairly large room, with one speaker, and then others for briefer periods of time. [...] (Pause.) His seat three to five seats from an aisle, nearly but not quite in the center of a row of seats.

[...] Her pace was slow, with many pauses. [...]

(As during the first experiment, Jane used many pauses. [...]

[...] (Pause.) As these experiments with Dr. Instream continue Ruburt will rapidly be more at ease.

[...] (Long pause.) The personalities involved in the family relationship have worked out many problems. (Pause.

[...] Pauses, eyes open at times.)

[...] Knowledge itself (pause, smile) is conscious. [...]

(Pause at 10:25. [...]

The uterus (pause) impression had to do with Vivian (Crowder) I believe (pause), and Ruburt picked it up from your mother, who is not consciously aware of the knowledge. (Pause.) A harmless cyst. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) You have been afraid of success for the reasons stated, yet resentful that you did not have the material acquisitions that go with it. (Pause.)

[...] (Pause, long.) The telegram impression is legitimate. [...] Or it will be received by one of your family or Ruburt’s. (Pause.)

[...] (One minute pause.)

[...] (Pause.) He left what she wanted. (Long pause.) She fears the presence of her husband’s other self, but does not know this consciously.

[...] (Long pause.) He will be reborn, and his abilities of inventiveness will play a large role in the 21st Century, where he shall be born in Egypt. (One minute pause.)

(Pause.) Your brother Dick was meant to be a female. [...] (Pause.) There will be a separation of the mother and the father. [...]

(Pause.) I am letting your hand rest a moment.

[...] (Long pause.) Most people, generally speaking, have one more or less familiar notion of a self that they try to actualize within physical reality. (Pause.) They do not have visions or experience, again generally speaking, with any characteristics that cannot be actualized more or less within the framework of established experience. [...]

[...] To some extent (pause), there can be a feeling of inferiority on his part (pause), one that he does of course not deserve. [...]

[...] I have a certain freedom by nature that is (pause) “traded in” by mortal people in return for life’s brilliant focus. (Long pause.) Ruburt is not responsible for other people’s conceptions of who or what I am, or who or what he is. [...]

(Pause at 10:35.) He also feels he should (underlined) be able to display at least enough healing ability to help those in dire straits (pause), and he expects himself to display such a deep understanding and compassion for the world and its people that any divergence from such an attitude seems to make him appear more inferior by contrast. [...]

He will feel rejected, as you know (pause), and this can lead to resentment. [...] (Pause.) The periods eventually synchronize and you should both attempt to realize the feelings of the other at such times.

(Long pause, eyes closed.) Within certain obvious limits, you will receive the same basic material whether or not you attempt to limit or specify the subject matter of sessions or not.

[...] (Long pause.) The personality is action, and as I have shown myself to you in sessions, this has added to the action of the sessions.

[...] (Pause.)

There is an old nursery rhyme (pause), that you heard as a child. [...] (Pause.) This was part of the association leading to the dream. [...] (Pause.) There were no health connotations to the dream, it did not have that kind of meaning. [...]

[...] (Pace animated and emphatic; yet with pauses.)

[...] (Pause.) The variety of tones, for all intents and purposes, are infinite.

[...] (Pause.) The structure is beyond the range of elecromagnetic qualities as your scientists think of them.

[...] Minn-e-sope-a… (pause). [...] (Pause.)

[...] Five approaches to one place here, one central place (pause) of interest. [...] (Pause.) A five star designation here.

[...] Jane’s pace had been average, her eyes open fairly often; and with some rather long pauses during the Gallagher material.

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) In parenthesis here, Ruburt’s own connection is with the Gallaghers. [...] (Pause.)

[...] (A long pause at 10:07.) A neighboring town or village. Three or four people (pause) with cards of some kind. [...]

[...] Jane’s pace was quite slow, with many pauses, in the beginning. [...]

(Jane now took a long pause, quite an unusual procedure after the opening salutation.)
