“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause, one of many, at 9:49.) There are levels within dreams, highly pertinent but mainly personal, in that they reflect your own private intents and purposes. [...]

(Pause, in a quiet but intent delivery.) At these levels you are still close to home. [...]

(Pause.) In your world you travel from one country to another, and you do not expect them to be all alike. [...]

(Pause at 11:13.) Explorers traveling into inner reality, however, do not have the same kind of landmarks to begin with. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) You become overconcerned with the egotistical situations, and hamper the inner self.

[...] You think so rigidly of concerns that are primarily insignificant to you, as a whole self (long pause, eyes closed) and make a fetish of them. [...]

[...] Her pace had been average, her eyes mostly closed; she had taken a few long pauses. [...]

[...] Egg-shaped (pause) as a thin oval line just inside of a rectangular card.

[...] (Pause.)

[...] Seth spoke humorously about break, since the pace had been mostly fast, with few pauses. [...]

[...] (Jane paused, a hand to her eyes.) He created them in so far as he found himself forced to admit certain facts: In that world at that time, earthly power was needed to hold Christian ideas apart from numberless other theories and religions, to maintain them in the middle of warring factions. [...]

[...] (Pause.) When the third personality reemerges historically, however, he will not be called the old Paul, but will carry within him the characteristics of all the three personalities.

[...] I am speaking of deeper mechanisms of consideration (pause), in which correlations are made between interior and exterior realities. (Pause.) It is obvious that when you move from one place to another you make an alteration in space — but you alter time as well, and you set into motion a certain psychological impetus that reaches out to affect everyone you know. (Long pause.) When a house is vacant all of the people in the neighborhood send out their own messages. [...]

(Pause at 9:52, eyes closed.) Joseph and Ruburt have moved into a “new”² house. [...] (Long pause.) They identify with the selves who moved into the new “hill house.” [...]

(Pause.) You have become so hypnotized by a one-level kind of thought that anything else seems impractical. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In that probable reality, to which each of you can belong to some extent, each person will recognize his or her inherent power of action and decision, and feel an individual sense of belonging with the physical world that springs up in response to individual desire and belief.⁷

(A long pause at 10:06.) The brain can be called simply the physical counterpart of the mind. [...]

(Pause at 10:27.) The overall private experience that you perceive forms your world, period. [...]

(Long pause at 11:04.) Give us time….

(Pause.) In certain terms time intervals are jumped, as when a “past” smell or sight is suddenly perceived with present vividness, though you would say it has already occurred in the past. [...]

(Jane began speaking in a quiet voice and with many brief pauses. [...]

[...] (Long pause at 9:10.) Previous life memories, existing electronically and magnetically, may carry such intense charge that they superimpose themselves in the present physical structure, and form memory patterns quite alien to those of the present ego personality.

[...] (Long pause.) I do not understand. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Pause.) In such instances you are withdrawing your perceptive abilities from the physical body. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause.) Other elements also come into play. [...]

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

(Pause at 10:45.) In another way your existence is a part of their heritage, so that they keep in certain contact. [...] (Pause.) All of the great historical figures, to some extent or another, attained that development.

[...] (Long pause.) Michelangelo lived, literally again, in the heroic dimension. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Much of this is put in terms that you can understand. [...]

[...] (Pause.) He is no longer in a position to hinder you. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Your immediate superior is losing a chance. [...]

[...] (Pause; smile.) I feel indeed like a merry old gentleman, sitting here with his cronies. [...]

[...] Jane paused, and I called her name three times. [...]

(Pause.) My friend was going to give you his own viewpoint concerning nontime, and the conditions were fairly good. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) A life in a Spanish environment, with Spanish speaking people but in South America. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There was an impatience however to have the works executed by others, in strict accordance to the original plans. [...]

[...] She took many long pauses, and sighed at times while speaking for Seth. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) He has not been as successful as he would wish — but even when fears brought about complications, the body has been successful in many ways in countering these.

(Long pause at 5:00.) I will have to take a break. [...]

[...] That is the result of the body’s magical reasoning — for the body reasons so quickly, so clearly and concisely (pause), that its deductions, its logic, are far too fast for the intellect to follow. [...] The body’s reasoning transforms itself into action, with nothing to stand between its elegant logic and the (pause) logic’s brilliant execution. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Your body is a mental expression physically materialized. [...]

[...] (Pause.) On the other hand you may believe that wisdom grows with age, that self-understanding brings a peace of mind not earlier known, that the keen mind is actually far better able to assess the environment, and that the physical senses are much more appreciative of all stimuli. [...]

(Pause.) You must learn to deal with your own beliefs directly or you will be forced to deal with them indirectly — by reacting to them quite without knowing it in your physical experience. [...]

(Pause.) Because ideas and beliefs have this electromagnetic reality, then, constant interplay between those strongly contradictory beliefs can cause great power blocks, impeding the flow of inner energy outward. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Since your conscious beliefs determine those unconscious functions that bring about your personal experience, your first step is to enlarge those beliefs.

(Pause.) The path of experience is nowhere settled. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In that state before the beginning, your consciousness existed free of space and time, aware of immense probabilities. [...] (Long pause.) Your consciousness is a part of an infinitely original creative process.

[...] (Long pause, one of many.) The universe will begin yesterday. [...]

In fact, the first two statements, while making no logical sense, do indeed hint of (pause) phenomena that show time itself to be no more than a creative construct. [...]

[...] (Pause.) You are not equipped with a certain amount of energy that then wears out and dies. [...]

(Jane paused at 10:07. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause at 10:16.)

(Pause.) In your hospitals however you take your patients out of their natural environment, and often deny them the comforts of creaturehood. [...] (Long pause.) The senile, in their efforts to run away from their closeted rooms in sanitariums, often show far greater sanity in their way than the relative or society who imprisoned them. [...]

(Pause.) In all of these areas the problem, whatever its nature or cause, is in one way or another “magically” transferred to another facet of activity, projected away from the self. [...]

(Pause.) Love, as it is often experienced, allows an individual to take his sense of self-worth from another for a time, and to at least momentarily let the other’s belief in his goodness supersede his own beliefs in lack of worth. [...]

(Pause.) Dineen is a well-educated woman of middle age with several grown children, financially at ease, possessing all of the things that money can buy. [...]

[...] He would (pause), had I not emerged, written books of his own in any case. [...]

[...] The nature of his gift generally speaking, however, presupposes or implies the existence of vast reaches in the psyche—reaches that if (pause) unwisely compared to the usual portions of the self, can seem to leave the usual self in a position of inferiority by contrast. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There are the esoteric schools, for example, the spiritualistic societies, the Eastern traditions. [...]

(Long pause at 9:27.) Give us a moment.... [...]

[...] (Pause.) He was willing to put up with a good deal to do so, to overlook lacks of taste in presentation, say.

[...] (Pause.) The old man also stood for old man time in the dream, and reinstated the fact that an executor is important, for the old man also stood for —in the dream, now—Ruburt’s father acting as his own executor—meaning that his nature led him to leave ends loose.

(Pause.) You appeared as both young men. [...]

[...] I spoke on television, and you were both appalled at the gulf between what you saw as the idealized message of our work, and the ludicrous (pause) lack of integrity of the environment in which that ideal was expressed. [...]

(Long pause at 9:05.) They lasted perhaps five minutes. [...]

[...] This is somewhat like remote sensing, or like an interior (pause) radar equipment that operates in a psychological field of attention, so that you are somewhat aware of the existence of certain events that concern you as they come into the closer range of probabilities with which you are connected.

[...] They did have, however, an extra intentness and vitality and peculiar insistence—qualities that he has learned are indicative (pause) of unusual psychological activity. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Value fulfillment, again, is the impetus that drives the wheels of nature, so to speak. [...]
