“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Now give me a moment, (pause), and a long moment. (Pause.) Concentration should not be upon feeling well enough in the morning to do something he wants to do. [...]

[...] (Pause.) This will drastically reduce his concentration on symptoms. (Long pause.) He can imagine health as a means also of showing others, of setting an example. [...]

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause.)

(Pause at 9:45.) “The Ideal, the Individual, Religion, Science, and the Law” (all with some humor and emphasis). [...]

[...] (Pause.) If you were all “perfect beings,” would you need laws at all? [...]

(Pause.) How does this concern you as an individual? [...]

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

(Pause.) A musician writing a symphony, however, does not use all of the notes that are available to him. [...] The “secrets” of languages are not to be found, then, in the available sounds, accents, root words or syllables, but in the rhythms between the words; the pauses and hesitations; the flow with which the words are put together, and the unsaid inferences that connect verbal and visual data.

You will have to give us time… (Pause, one of many.) When a man’s consciousness, for example, blended with that of a tree, those data became “visual” for others to perceive. [...]

(Long pause at 10:05.) Data, you say, are stored in the chromosomes, strung together in a certain fashion. [...]

(Long pause.) In ways most difficult to explain, man “absorbed” an animal’s spirit before he killed it, so that the spirit of the animal merged with his own. [...]

[...] She began speaking in trance while sitting down, in an average voice and with many pauses. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Take for example the generic image of a bull. [...]

Actually, through the generic system each cell possesses capsule comprehension, (pause) that is a certain kind of visualizing, and an emotional charge. [...]

(Jane took a long pause, sitting quite still with her hands raised to her face.)

[...] (One minute pause, eyes closed.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Long pause.)

[...] (Long pause; one of many.)

As one number quite simply can be added to another without denying the validity of either number, nor the individuality of either number, so a different kind of grouping also takes place (pause), involving (pause), mathematical manipulations of these other intensities that reside within the number units.

[...] As usual the voice was high and thin, very clear but distant, and with many pauses at times. [...]

(Pause; one of many.) It may be a portion of many groupings yet still retain itself. [...]

[...] (One minute pause.) They would represent other dimensional realities inherent in the number itself, and since numbers are only symbols they would therefore represent other dimensional realities inherent in the unit for which the number stood.

(Long pause.) Because the book met criticism at Prentice does not mean that you or it were not protected. (Pause.) The word “protection” in this context is interesting, of course, since the disclaimer is supposed to protect Prentice from any court action. [...]

(Long pause.) The disclaimer is also Prentice’s way of allowing itself some freedom thematically, without getting its feet wet in any possible court actions. [...] (Long pause.) The disclaimer in no way lessens the power of impact of the book. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In the overall cultural picture (long pause), “psychic matters” are no longer as easy to dismiss as they used to be. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Otherwise, no disclaimer would be considered. [...]

[...] Now Seth gave a few paragraphs for Jane, then said good night at 10:10 P.M. Even with the many pauses she’d used this evening—most of which I didn’t indicate—Jane’s delivery had often been quite intent and meaningful. In their own way the pauses served as additional punctuation and emphasis for some of Seth’s information.)

(Pause.) Give us a moment…. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The cell’s stability, and its reliability in the bodily environment, is dependent upon its innate properties of instant communication and instant decision, for each cell is in communication with all others and is united with all others through fields of consciousness,³ in which each entity of whatever degree plays a part.

[...] The form was there, but it was not manifest (intently). I do not particularly like the analogy, but it is useful: Instead of small particles (long pause), you had small units of consciousness gradually building themselves into large ones—but a smaller unit of consciousness, you see, is not “less than” a larger unit, for each unit of consciousness contains within itself the innate (underlined) heritage of All That Is.

[...] (Pause.) He therefore adds a different kind of mental organization — an organization, then, that nature itself requires, anticipates, and desires. [...] Man’s reasoning mind adds an atmosphere to nature (pause), that is as real, say, as the Van Allen Belts (or radiation fields) that surround the earth.

Now (pause): Man likes to think of himself as the caretaker of nature and the world. [...]

(Pause.) Man serves his purposes within nature, as all species do, and in the terms of your understanding man “thinks” in his own way, but he is also the thinking portion of nature. [...]

The thinking mind to a large degree directs the activity of great spontaneous forces, [with] energy-cellular organization being, say, the captain (pause) of the body’s great energy sources. [...]

(Long pause.) This session needs reading many times, for there are implications not at first obvious. (Pause.) Now give us a moment.

[...] Pauses and eyes open, etc.)

Now when I say there was a state of nonbeing, and yet speak of All That Was, existing simultaneously in that state, I mean (pause), that All That Is did exist, itself, obviously in a state of being, but in a state in which it could not find expression for its own being. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) It is to the rear rather than the front of the building, to the side and rear. [...] (Pause.)

[...] Her voice was now quiet, and she used many brief pauses. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] Jane now took a long pause at 9:41.)

[...] If he walks in the night and is restless he will have more freedom without bothering others… (Long pause, eyes closed.) You will have to give me a moment here…. (Pause.)

[...] Jane’s manner of delivery was quite usual as far as stopping, pausing, repeating, etc., was concerned—the usual manner of speaking.

[...] This note was in a closet… An inside pocket (pause), a pocket up high like a breast pocket, rather than down low. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Pause.) Ruburt is one of his discoveries. [...] (Long pause at 10:25.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] You had better include N A N. (Pause.) Now I do not know if this is Nan Carter, but I do know the two are connected. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Give us time. [...]

(Pause.) Now, the fear is for safety. [...] (Long pause.)

[...] Jane began speaking for Seth in an average voice, with pauses, eyes open often, etc. [...]

(A one minute pause.) We have mentioned this earlier. [...]

(Pause. [...]

(Pause.) What you think of usually as order is an aspect of the spontaneous order that is within and behind the “mechanics” of all physical actions. [...]

(Pause.) In your terms man is of course still learning, and as he set up barriers between lands and formed separate nations, so he also set up divisions between aspects of his own consciousness and awareness, in his terms, so he could deal with them one at a time. [...]

[...] (Pause.) In a definite manner of speaking, spontaneity, being apart from time while operating in time, is aware of, say, private abilities before they show themselves in time. [...]

(Long pause at 9:30.) The physical universe had to spring from a source that exists beyond life itself. [...]

(Long pause.) Tonight’s assurances in that area should themselves encourage him. [...] His attitudes toward the medical profession (pause) are indeed changing—not that he sees medical practices in any more favorable and overall light, but that he recognizes that absolutism is no answer either. [...]

(Pause.) Ruburt’s depression-part of today represented, again, his recognition and expression of feelings that before were to a large degree buried in the symptoms, or translated into them. [...]

(Pause.) Art provides its own services to the individual, whether or not it appears to be utilitarian. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) An animal in Ruburt’s physical condition would simply be resting, perceiving body alterations and odd states with patient acquiescence, doing what it could physically and forgetting about the rest, trustful in the body’s capacities to heal itself. [...]

(Long pause at 9:23.) A belief in a “God who provides,” by whatever name, is indeed a psychological requirement for the good health of the body and mind. [...] (Long pause.) He felt that they opened the door to all of organized religion’s psychological quicksand of emotionalism. [...] (Long pause.) The innocent self is being uncovered. [...]

(Long pause at 9:13.) I know how to quicken the impetus of the psyche. [...] (Pause.) The Sinful Self’s material serves as a small psychic source at the moment: that is, he still reacts to it. [...]

(Long pause at 9:05.) He is presently encountering that kind of feeling, uncovering the reasons for it, and trying to recapture in a way the very young innocent self’s sense of faith. [...]

(Pause.) You say little, for example, if you note that spiders make webs instinctively because spiders must eat insects, and that the best web-maker will be the fittest kind of spider to survive. (Long pause, then with humor:) It is very difficult for me to escape the sticky web of your beliefs. [...]

(Pause.) I am speaking of the inner laws of nature, that pervade existence. [...]

(Long pause.) Each being experiences life as if it were at life’s center. [...]

(Pause at 9:30.) What about the poor unsuspecting fly? [...]

I have used the term “expansion of consciousness” here rather than the more frequently used “cosmic consciousness” (pause), because the latter implies an experience of proportions not available to mankind at this time. (Pause.) Intense expansions of consciousness by contrast to your normal state may appear to be cosmic in nature, but they barely hint at those possibilities of consciousness that are available to you now, much less begin to approach a true cosmic awareness.

(Pause at 9:35, one of many. [...]

(Long pause at 9:45.) Such personalities often then must learn to correlate their intuitive knowledge, to reform intellectual frameworks strong enough to support it. [...]

[...] Pause at 9:58.)

Cocktails earlier (pause), and dinner, with a woman in a restaurant. [...] (Pause.) The dinner was of a business-mixed-with-social affair. (Pause.)

(Pause.) Whether or not this is a cafeteria I do not know, but he and others seem to be drinking coffee. (Pause.) He is dressed in a business-type suit this evening, with shirt and tie, standing up and talking to two other people.

[...] She used pauses but all in all her pace was not particularly slow. [...]

[...] (Pause at 10:08.) He received a book by mail today, a biography sort of book, having to do with a personality of the late 1800’s. A medium.
