“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There were other personalities of course who were fairly developed but these were resting. The world so to speak got back on its feet when these personalities reappeared centuries later; and by this time new personalities who had taken the place of those whose cycles were completed also began to use and show their abilities.

[...] A miscarriage later on the part of Ruburt’s mother represented an entity who changed his mind so to speak. [...]

When the Middle Ages began a large number of personalities who had lived before and during the Roman period were ready to end their reincarnation cycles. [...]

[...] There were personalities reincarnated during the Middle Ages who had lived during the Roman experience, however they were not leading personalities and they were not able to transmit knowledge or abilities from past lives, simply because they had not the inherent strength or capability needed.

[...] It is you who think of the painting in terms of time, and who perceive it in this manner. [...]

[...] You are already the self who will paint that portrait. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Great artists are those who materialize physically the paintings already created by the whole self in potential form.

[...] The individuality itself, if it is intuitively valid, will lead to a universal inner recognition on the part of all who perceive such a painting.

[...] There is indeed a reason why you have been involved with personalities who have taken their own lives, and I want you to take this to heart. [...] You chose to become involved in your circle of acquaintanceships with those who have followed one particular line to the ultimate, where belief disappears like the shifting sand until there is no framework upon which the present personality can stand and until, in desperation, the individual leaves this plane of existence where on another level of reality purposes are then made known. [...]

Now, we will see to it that you live very adventurous nights, and those of you who do psychological time and take the physical time necessary to do the experiments, will find the mobility of consciousness—I am using that term because Ruburt likes it so well—that is necessary. [...]

(To Dennis:) And you are indeed helping those people who speak to you, and you will be able to help them more as you develop your own abilities, and that is why you came here for you will be teaching others also. [...]

[...] Tell him also that Mr. Nassair’s friend, who was here at class, subconsciously knows that Mr. Nassair should not set up the fund at this time, but did not want to take the responsibility for saying so. [...]

(Its very difficult for the practical world—for people who aren’t primarily “artists or creators” to deal with that sort of thing; they don’t know where to place it and ideas alone make them uncomfortable—they aren’t real or unreal according to their way of looking at reality.

(My personal problems developed in force when I began to be overly concerned with my creative “work” as work, as it applied to the world, as it would be received and interpreted; when I tried to compare its reception to other officially accepted activities—that people understood—when I tried to look at my “work” through their eyes, and when I began to expect the kind of honor and approbation given to others—who conformed.

[...] asking yourself how many actual people I’ve met who scorned me... [...]

[...] However—give us a moment—errors can also be used as challenges and those of you who are afraid to commit errors, or who are too afraid to face challenges, and therefore, never look upon an error as a deep or dark thing forever beyond repair, for from it challenges spring. [...]

[...] He noticed you, even as you noticed him, and in his probability he wondered who you were, but he liked you. [...] He did not know it was your name, nor who you were. [...]

[...] It is you who adds the symbolism that he rises from the tomb. [...]

Now, all of you here now know that the dead are not necessarily quiet, and that there is no somber mood necessarily connected with those who are no longer alive, in your own terms. [...]

A follower of Hay Chi-Chu (my phonetic interpretation) who was a combination outcast-commander and merchant for the foreigners who lived in the mountains; an outpost to the northwest, where it snowed severely in the wintertime.

[...] Three children and a wife who was German. [...]

There is a tendency toward overdependence balanced by a scorn toward those who are overdependent. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The man who receives it will understand it. [...]

Most of the people who come to Ruburt’s classes are Sumari,⁷ for example. [...] Many of the people who come here come home in the ways that [members of a physical] family attend a reunion.

Sue Watkins, who had introduced Peter to Jane and me in 1973, was involved in the question through her friendship with all of us. It was Sue who verified that several months ago Peter had described to her what he now felt to be the same psychic event I’d tuned in to just a few weeks ago (on December 3, 1974) — only Peter’s experience had taken place in 1967! [...]

[...] (Pause.) Many of those who use the term do it to hide rather than to release their own joyful abilities. [...]

(Pause.) You are involved with some of your counterparts more or less directly, while others live in different lands, and are sometimes separated also in terms of age differences or culture — qualities with which you would find it difficult to relate.⁵ Intuitively, you know who the counterparts are in your daily experience. [...]

(Long pause.) These attitudes may be reflected in rather simple compulsive actions: the woman who cleans the house endlessly, whether it needs it or not; the man who will follow certain precise, defined routes of activity — driving down certain streets only to work; washing his hands much more frequently than other people; the person who constantly buttons and unbuttons a sweater or vest. [...]

[...] Even people who are not so fervently opposed to spontaneity often feel that it is somehow suspect, distasteful, perhaps leading to humiliating actions. [...]

[...] Jane and I saw Norma socially one evening, along with a few other students as well as some people who were not class members. [...] Still, it’s worth noting that being in the presence of a relative stranger who may also be one’s counterpart does make some sort of interior difference in response or attention. I wondered about the countless times counterparts had unwittingly gathered on similar occasions, and what sort of numberless exchanges had taken place on unconscious levels between those who were psychically related in some fashion.

(Student Bill Herriman is a professional pilot who flies a considerable distance to Elmira for class; his counterpart in class, Carl Jones, lives in Elmira each summer while giving instructions in sailplane flying, the third member of the counterpart trio, Bill Granger, is not a member of class, lives in Elmira, has always had a deep interest in aircraft, and is now learning to pilot sailplanes. [...]

[...] (Now Jane, as Seth, pointed to Dave and Estelle) And yes, here, for another child—one who needs to be cherished and guarded and has a fate to fulfill in physical reality, who will need you. [...]

[...] Jane was recommended to them by Ray Van Over; they wanted information on the death and attendant circumstances of their son Michael, who died last month at a little over 3 years of age.

[...] You are the one who is always in control, and you knew before you and your wife met, subconsciously, the circumstances that had gone before, and the reason for your meeting, and your son knew. [...]

[...] He was a personality who left you when his own reincarnations were finished. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Only who is reluctant now, Joseph?

[...] As a stick thrown into the water seems distorted to those who watch, so this image thrown into your plane seemed distorted to you. [...]

[...] Downstairs was a shop owned by your brother’s father, who was not your father this time. [...]

[...] Already you must suspect your Doctor Stedge, who has also been connected with your entity on various occasions, though never as a relative. [...]

[...] But what power moves him, and is it the same power that moves you, and that moves those who will look at the painting? [...] Is he only aware of those who will later look at the painting? [...]

[...] Tonight I explained to Jane the problem involved in determining the correct relationship between background area, and the prophet, who is in a standing position. [...]

[...] Does the question provide its own answer, or is there another who will provide the answer, or does the prophet question in vain? [...]

[...] (Smile.) And look even further: what is the nature of one who can ask such a question?

[...] (Long pause.) Those who follow with great strictness the dictates of either science or religion can switch sides in a moment. [...] The businessman who believed in Darwinian principles and the fight for survival, who justified injustice and perhaps thievery to his ideal of surviving in a competitive world — he suddenly turns into a fundamentalist in religious terms, trying to gain his sense of power now, perhaps, by giving away the wealth he has amassed, all in a tangled attempt to express a natural idealism in a practical world.

[...] And yet each impulse is suited and tailored directly to the individual who feels it. [...]

[...] Only people who trust their spontaneous beings and the altruistic nature of their impulses can be consciously wise enough to choose from a myriad of probable futures the most promising events — for again, impulses take not only [people’s] best interest into consideration, but those of all other species.

According to conditions, such a person could be a member of a small cult or the head of a nation, a criminal or a national hero, who claims to act with the authority of God. [...]

[...] Those who are still involved in these highly complicated passion-play seminars called reincarnational existences, find it difficult to see beyond them. Some, resting between productions, as it were, try to communicate with those who are still taking part; but they themselves are merely in the wings, so to speak, and can only see so far.

(10:26.) You are the multidimensional self who has these existences, who creates and takes part in these cosmic passion plays, so to speak. [...]

[...] You create the props, the settings, the themes; in fact you write, produce, and act in the entire production — you and every other individual who takes part.

I am speaking of the portion of you who is taking part in this particular period piece, however; and that particular portion of your entire personality is so focused within this drama that you are not aware of the others in which you also play a role. [...]

Now this is a living endeavor, and therefore we take advantage of those happenings in your own lives, and it was I myself who prompted Ruburt to pick up the book (containing Jung) in the first place.

[...] Other personalities who never completely take to earthly existence may hold off full entry for some time, and even then always remain at a certain distance from the body. [...]

On occasion, long before conception takes place, the personality who will end up as the future child will visit that environment of both parents-to-be, drawn again. [...]

There are obviously those who identify with the body far more completely than others. [...]

It is unfortunately often — but not always — true that individuals who carry strong religious feeling are often bothered more than usual by poor health and personal dilemmas. [...]

[...] There are some people who believe that life is meaningless, that it has no purpose, and that its multitudinous parts fell together through the workings of chance alone. [...]

The same ideas are so dead-ended, however, that they often trigger a different kind of response entirely, in which a scientist who has held to those beliefs most stubbornly, suddenly does a complete double-take. [...]

With some variations, the same kind of “sudden conversion” can occur when a person who has berated religious concepts and beliefs suddenly does a double-take of a different kind, ending up as a twice-born Christian.

[...] Then as we went to bed she brought up two additional subjects to discuss, for those who would wonder: why we hadn’t more actively sought medical help in the past for her physical condition; and the many private, or deleted, sessions Seth himself has given for her over the years.

[...] It concerned the other “Seths” who are revealing themselves around the country these days. [...]

[...] He couldn’t lead other people’s lives for them (underlined), either—yet through the years I began to feel a greater and greater sense of responsibility for people with physical problems who wrote requiring Seth’s aid, or mine. [...]

(9:43.) I felt that my work was being contaminated, and more, I was annoyed and disappointed by those readers who could apparently be so taken in by those other Seths. [...]

[...] There are healers, for example, who respond primarily to the needs of others. [...] The framework is an excellent one for those who find it a natural extension of inner intent. [...]

[...] For one thing, she kept falling head over heels in love with men who didn’t want marriage under any circumstances. [...] The men in each case were men who did not date, were overly attached to their parents, or who for some reason or other did not have ordinary relationships with women. [...]

[...] These only appear to those who exist within three-dimensional reality. [...] The part of you who knows this is the whole self.

[...] Men in business suits mix with people in hippie outfits, and we always have wine for those who like it. [...]

[...] Strangely enough, he did give such information once in a class to three college girls who clearly did not believe in reincarnation to begin with. [...]

(9:10.) Behind the actors in the dramas, there are more powerful entities who are quite beyond role-playing. [...]

[...] The historical Jesus knew who he was, but he also knew that he was one of three personalities composing one entity. [...]

[...] As happened once before, however, he will not be generally known for who he is. [...]

The third personality of Christ will indeed be known as a great psychic, for it is he who will teach humanity to use those inner senses that alone make true spirituality possible. [...]
