“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The dependent portion of the personality is literally appalled at the more aggressive aspects of the whole personality. In the case of Philip, we find these aggressive tendencies welcomed. But because basically Philip is able to unite the various levels of the self, there is no such deep and persistent physical problem. The aggressiveness is given reign and acceptance. The tendency toward division in Philip’s personality shows itself in this tendency toward secrecy, which affects most deeply the nature of his home life.

We do not have that trouble here, for here, if we may use Philip as another example, we find better balance. Philip relates himself well in an outward manner, insisting to some extent that he maintain also his inward integrity. I am here mentioning the two personalities and bringing them together in our discussion because they are both salesmen.

For when your other friend is relating to the exterior environment, he does something that Philip does not do. He closes himself off entirely, as much as possible, from the inside environment. Philip insists, in a rather cocky manner, in taking his own inner integrity along. Your other friend cannot, so far, relate the inner and the outer selves. He can relate to the inner self or the outer self, but he has not learned to unite the two, nor allowed for any understanding or communication between them.

I am glad that at least Ruburt seems merry, since Philip is obviously in such low inner spirits.

(Philip, according to Seth, is the name of John Bradley’s entity.)

Philip cannot be different than he is, and any attempt at pretense will betray him, and not serve his purpose. [...]

This person will move quickly upward however, taking Philip’s ideas along. Philip has either been offered another job in the immediate past or will be in the very immediate future. [...] In any case definitely the feeling of a treachery involved, not on Philip’s part but using Philip.

[...] (Pause.) Now either there is a woman, or a man with a name like a woman, who will shortly step up and come to Philip’s notice, either generally in the same sort of position as Philip, or slightly above.

[...] Remember that Seth’s entity name for John is Philip.)

I had some pertinent remarks to make this evening, and since Philip (Seth’s entity name for John Bradley) is indeed a friend, I shall feel free to make them, although they are somewhat of a personal nature, and directed to you and our reluctant medium.

Now surely to our friend Philip, Ruburt has certainly appeared committed enough to our ventures. [...]

[...] (Pause, voice much quieter.) This will apply to our friend Philip. [...]

[...] With our friend Philip, a situation developing involving a white-haired man who is in the background, behind or connected with, the man who suggested Philip seek office. (Philip is Seth’s entity name for John.)

The man who offered the suggestion to Philip may not realize himself that the original idea was not his own. [...]

[...] Somewhat more pressure will be applied to Philip than he perhaps anticipates here. [...]

[...] Ruburt is not particularly pleased with what he knows I am about to say, but I am not held by the same social rules that hold him in this particular manner, and I know Philip (Seth’s entity name for John Bradley) perhaps better than he does.

[...] I am speaking now, you understand, of the parents of Philip's wife.

Now, the girl respects Philip because he will not be dominated. [...]

[...] You can use them; and for Philip’s information the evidence of the inner senses is immediate, and vivid, and direct—much more vivid, Philip, than for example your camouflage experience of the color red. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, a good evening to Philip, and I recognize his presence.

(It will be remembered from the 26th session that Philip is the name of John Bradley’s entity, according to Seth.)

Philip should read the sessions dealing particularly with the laws of the universe, that is with the inner laws of the universe, appreciating then the facts that this universe within all universes is spontaneous while having durability. It would be backtracking to repeat that long discussion, but as the inner universe has as its attributes spontaneity and durability, and as the spacious present is simultaneous while containing within it all pasts and all presents and all futures, and as Philip understands the meaning of expansion in terms not of time or of space but of value fulfillment, so will he intuitively then grasp that no contradiction occurs with actual reality when I say that there is no beginning and no end.

I will here welcome Mark and Philip to our session.

[...] In ultimate terms, there is and never was a beginning, Philip. [...]

My welcome to our friend Philip.

[...] If our exuberant Ruburt has calmed down, and if our friend Philip has put down his paper, we shall begin.

[...] John’s entity name is Philip. [...]

You may call me Seth, John, although in case you are interested your entity name is Philip. Because, Philip, you are such a good witness, and I must admit because I too have known you in the past, I consider you an old friend, and we shall to some extent renew acquaintance.

[...] And you, Philip, were twice a woman and once a Moor of some considerable stature, as well as the personality in Boston which I have already related.

[...] Philip on the other hand is performing no such compensations, except for the one instance of choosing a good-looking wife and therefore permitting himself to treat her kindly.

With Philip I see a triangle. [...] I interpret this to mean that two men are involved beside Philip, and that one is more prominent or much stronger than the other. He is at the strong point of the triangle, and he would try to manipulate both Philip and the man. The other man is weaker than Philip in overall strength. [...]

[...] Seth has given John the entity name of Philip, and so addresses him.

Now I give you my greetings, Philip, and I have been here and given them to you mentally. [...]

(John’s entity name is Philip. [...]

Welcome to our friend Philip. [...]

Ruburt is not particularly pleased with what he knows I am about to say, but I am not held by the same social rules that hold him in this particular matter, and I know Philip perhaps better than he does.

[...] I also told you that we would discuss some implications arising from the fact that Philip was able to hear my voice, and we shall not overlook these matters.

(Philip is John Bradley’s entity name. [...]

The conditions simply happened to be excellent the evening that Philip heard me speak to him.

[...] My welcome to Philip. [...]

(It will be remembered that Seth has given Philip as the name of John’s entity.)

[...] I will give your Philip in advance a September 2 date, and then with everyone’s permission I shall continue with the discussion on the nature of matter.

And welcome to our friend Philip. (Philip is John Bradley’s entity name.)

Affairs will turn out, Philip, as I have said that they would. [...]

I speak to our Philip first, since he is indeed such a faithful and amusing guest, of whom I am indeed quite fond. [...]

As far as Philip is concerned, they are also waiting in Chicago. Only one man is for doing anything, and this man is not the man whom Philip suspects. He is not, this man is not, in as strong a position as the man whom Philip suspects.

(It will be remembered that Philip, incidentally, is the entity name of John Bradley.)

[...] He is not even aware of his own feelings in the matter, but considers himself something of a father image as far as Philip is concerned, and feels somewhat betrayed.

I have never given you trouble, Philip. (Philip is John’s entity name according to Seth.) The trouble that you have is of your own making.

Now give me a moment for Philip. [...] Then Seth speaks to John Bradley.) The triangle symbols, Philip, stand as they have been given. [...]

[...] Far be it, Philip, that I should forget your weighty problems of compromise and profit. [...]

My particular welcome this evening to our friend Philip. [...]

(Philip is John’s entity name.)

Now in the affair of the raise, you picked this up, Philip, first of all telepathically from the mind of your superior. [...]

It is possible (pause, long) that the changes of which Philip has been told will not occur and were furthermore not intended to occur: that he has been told so for other reasons.

(John Bradley is called Philip by Seth. [...]

My heartiest regards as always to our friend Philip.

(Philip is the entity name Seth has given to John Bradley.)
