“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] [Pause.] I can’t formulate a question right now. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There seems to be a man this time with very dark hair. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.)

(Long pause.) The rereading of material, as you did today, is again very helpful, and the practice should be continued. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Therefore, again, I express satisfaction with the essays and preface and work you have already completed. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) At any given time there will be various climates of belief pervading the world. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Few can escape putting value judgments in such areas. [...]

(Long pause.) Since ancient times religion has tried to help man understand the nature of his own subjective reality — but religion has its own dark side, and for this reason religion unfortunately has fostered fear of the spontaneous.

(Long pause at 3:20.) Again, people who have such views of the inner self usually project the same ideas upon nature at large, so that the natural world appears equally mysterious, dangerous, and threatening.

[...] (Pause.) Your beliefs generate emotion. [...]

(Pause at 10:22.) Here the belief itself will generate the negative emotions that will, indeed, bring about a physical or emotional illness. [...]

(Pause at 9:21.) Those given to such practices — constant examination of the past in order to discover what is wrong in the present — too often miss the point. [...]

(Pause at 9:40. [...]

[...] Pause at 9:56. [...]

(Pause.) These selves are different counterparts of yourself in creaturehood, experiencing bodily reality; but at the same time your organism itself shuts out the simultaneous nature of experience. [...]

(Jane now took a very long pause. It was one of her few pauses during the session.)

(Jane now took a long pause, by a good length the longest of the session. [...]

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

[...] She spoke with her eyes closed for the entire session; at times her delivery was quite fast, other times it was broken by pauses. [...]

(Jane now took a very long pause, sitting motionless with her eyes closed.)

(Jane now took another long pause.)

[...] She used a few pauses. [...]

(Pause.) You may take your break and we shall continue. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause.) The trouble is, again, that in trying to give them to you certain alterations are necessary. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause at 10:25.) The two of you together can help break these procedures so that at least the both of you are not applying negative ideas at the same time. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

And now I am going to ask you to return slowly back through these dimensions, pausing but briefly. [...]

(Long pause and Jane goes into a deeper trance.)

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

[...] (Pause.) Many of you for your own reasons pursue courses that do not involve an even development of abilities, an overall balanced picture, for example, but choose to express and experiment with certain qualities to the exclusion of others. [...]

(Pause.) Before physical birth then you form a mental concept of the body you will have. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Such other existences and realities as just described coexist with your own, and in the waking state you are not aware of them. [...]

[...] (Pause, smile at 10:29.) End of chapter.

(Long pause at 9:49.) In a way, the external politics of the situation within your country is helping Ruburt to understand his own position far better than he did earlier. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) He was worried that his natural expression and search, publicly expressed at that point in history, was dangerous because it put him in the gaze of a growing band of fanatics on the one hand, and also roused old fears of a private nature, having to do with the overall validity of revelatory information. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Ruburt feels that some of the threats he felt hidden in the world are now out in the open. [...]

At the same time he feared that the spontaneous self could get him into difficulties (long pause), because he had no way of knowing where his own search might lead him—and particularly he feared that it might lead him into conflict with the rest of the world. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Sometimes it seems easier to avoid the frequent readjustments in behavior that self-examination requires. [...]

[...] Seth-Jane, deep in thought, paused.) Much has been written about the nature and importance of suggestion. [...]

(Pause.) You must be convinced that you can alter your beliefs. [...]

[...] (Pause.) You have a conscious mind, but this is only the “topmost” portion of your mind. [...]

[...] (Pause.) It seems to you that any naturally aborted fetus has no physical life at all, that such life has been denied to it for some reason. [...]

[...] The self is not … (pause, eyes closed) … give us a moment; I am searching for a good analogy … the self is not like a clay figure coming from a potter’s oven, so that you can say: “Ah, here is a self, and nothing can be added to it.” [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The chart of events at the time of your “birth” is like one small snapshot of someone’s backyard in the afternoon. [...]

(Pause from 10:25 to 10:27.)

(Long pause.) Since these offshoots or life-tracings each come from your entity, they are connected psychologically and in terms of electromagnetic energy patterns. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) It goes without saying that any human being possesses the latent ability shown by a great artist or athlete, or statesman or philosopher. [...]

(Pause.) This bouncing back of energy into itself is the meaning of the dream state, in which experience that is basically nonphysical is embarked upon, and is then interpreted as a dream through the brain. [...]

(Jane paused at 10:20.)

(Jane now took a pause lasting well over a minute. [...]

[...] (Another long pause.) At times they have immense power to bring about shaking world changes of either beneficial or destructive nature.

(Pause at 9:15.) Again, many people carry the same kind of emotional charge. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Ruburt well knew even as a child that such structures had served their time, and his poetry provided a channel through which he could express his own views as he matured. [...]

(Long pause at 9:37.) Ruburt had considerable difficulty with church doctrine even then, and the rules of the order as actually carried out through practice were later considered to hold their own seeds of heresy. [...]

[...] Pauses will be indicated. [...]

(Jane paused. [...]

I have the impression of the number 3 or 7, or perhaps 3 and 7, (pause) and of a road, and something spectacular.

[...] (Pause.) Something 10 times, and a familiar location. [...]
