“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The child becomes a teacher for the parents, for the doctors who treated him, for the people who read the Enquirer, and for all the people who will meet the child as he matures. [...]

A note to our friend Susan: she is overly identifying as a woman who happens to be an individual, instead of as an individual who happens to be a woman —and therefore finding herself involved in quite unnecessary dilemmas.

[...] Today I picked up the lawnmower from the dealer who services it; tomorrow I take the cats, Billy Two and Mitzi, to the vet for their first encounter with Doc Davidson. [...]

[...] But on the other hand the mother was early frightened by the idea of a vital male baby, who might be overly rambunctious and difficult to control. [...]

The whole body of the material, by the time that we are done, will speak in various ways to various types of individuals who may not be able to speak to each other. [...] He is however still at the stage where he takes pleasure in intellectual superiority, and somewhat looks down upon those who are not so intellectually gifted. [...]

The attitude however could automatically make the material unavailable to many who need it, can understand it intuitively, and will use it well. There will be others, like Ruburt himself and like yourself, Joseph, who will be intrigued by those fuller developments and arguments given in the basic material. [...]

(Before the session tonight Jane and I discussed the excellent manner in which Seth was able to relate to the various people who have witnessed sessions. [...]

[...] The basic principles of it will rest in our own sessions where those who are curious enough and gifted enough intellectually may find the arguments and reasons upon which it is built.

[...] Many churchgoers who consider themselves quite religious do not understand the nature of love or affirmation as much as some bar patrons, who celebrate the nature of their bodies and enjoy the spontaneous transcendence as they let themselves go with the motion of their beings.

[...] Yet, many who consider themselves religious people hold on to respectability most of all. [...] (Mark 11:15–18). Yet many who consider themselves followers of Christ now turn against the outcasts that he himself considered brothers and sisters.

A mother who says to her child, “I gave up my life for you,” is speaking nonsense. [...]

A child who says, “I gave up my life for my parents and devoted myself to their care,” means, “I was afraid to live my own life, and afraid to let them live theirs. [...]

Your system is a training ground only for those however who have chosen to go beyond into particular other systems. [...] other training systems are set up for those who embark on entirely different patterns. [...]

[...] The teachers within the system are those who are in their last reincarnation, and other personalities who have left the system but have been assigned to help those still within it.

[...] Only the conscious self dwells within it in any case, and it is other portions of your personality who simultaneously dwell within the other training systems. [...]

[...] The system always includes some fragments who are entering for the first time, as well as individuals in their third or fourth reincarnations.

[...] Here Seth mentioned a boy who sat there. [...]

[...] Who was in the classroom, Seth or me? [...]

[...] I reacted to her desire; just as I react negatively to someone who is highly critical. [...]

(Seth mentioned a boy who sat in a third or fourth seat in a specific row also given—had he said, for example, fifth or sixth this would have been wrong since Pat told us the students only sit four down.

[...] A man who kills with hatred will have his hatred to contend with, but he is not able to kill anyone who has not decided to die—and to die in a particular manner; that is, someone who wants his death blamed on another, who would not commit suicide, who would not choose a long illness—someone who is ready to die but does not want to deal with the circumstances, and wants indeed to be surprised by death.

[...] There are human beings on the face of this earth who do not know what love means, or companionship. Who so not have parents, who do not have sisters or brothers who understand an isolation that is bleak and cold even if it is of their own making. Each of you in this room who has the opportunity to share with another then know that is grace and be thankful for that which you experience. [...] There are personalities who have traveled through the centuries, literally, without an understanding, and if this was their reality and if it was their own making, still be glad that it is not yours and accept those relationships that you now have and realize their potential and do not close yourselves off to stupid pride and through barriers of your own making. [...]

Only those who choose to take on the responsibility of teaching will return. [...]

([Ned:] “Is it up to the probable self whether they become a new entity, or up to the person who creates the probable      self ?”)

Up to the probable selves for each portion of consciousness has available to it whatever potentials it is willing to seek, and there are no limitations placed upon it either by those who created it or by itself. [...]

The relationships for the next life have to be settled upon, and this involves telepathic communication with all those who will be involved. [...] There are those who are simply loners, who reincarnate without any great feeling for earth’s historical periods. There are others who like to return when their contemporaries from some particular past historical time return again, and therefore there are group patterns that involve reincarnational cycles in which many, but not all, are involved.

(I also learned that no particular painting of mine was involved, nor were my efforts to project this afternoon; that the survival personality was unknown to me, and that the pendulum couldn’t tell me who the personality was.

[...] Those who choose to leave this system, whose reincarnational cycles are finished, have many more decisions to make.

[...] The self that decides upon reincarnational existence is the same self who chooses experience within the probable system. [...]

[...] Drugs will play no small role within the next fifty years, but those who will progress will be daring. Daring both in the choice of men, those who will represent the company to the public, and in the choice of men who will develop products, and this is an area with which you should become more familiar, for it is this upon which the company depends.

[...] For the record: after supper this evening she received a call from a Dr. Freudenberger, a psychologist and psychoanalyst, who wanted her to speak on altered states of consciousness, to a class he conducts in White Plains, New York on Wednesday evenings. [...]

This is the man who is now in the weaker position. [...]

[...] The man who takes the weak man’s place will be stronger than he was.

[...] Pat (Arnold), who has not attended lately, psychically is present. [...] In those terms Pat, who did not attend the physical class, attended a probable one; and Carol, who was not present for the end of the official class, was a participant in the probable one.

[...] She visited here, then, out-of-body, and was perceived by Ruburt, who was in an out-of-body state himself. [...]

[...] Ruburt saw a real doctor and a real monkey because he wanted to bring home the point that living animals were then involved who were then diseased, and that real men conducted the experiments.

[...] I do not know if this refers to a child who attends school, to a teacher, or to someone such as your friends downstairs who have such an object.

[...] I do not know if this refers to a child who attends school, to a teacher, or to someone such as your friends downstairs who have such an object.” [...]

(2nd Question: Can you say who is involved? [...] Jane said this is brought about through the chair data, and is a confusion arising from the fact that Barbara, who sent us the object, and Lois and Merle Cratsley live on the ground floor of the apartment house, in adjoining apartments. [...]

(The envelope object for the 69th experiment was a colored postcard sent to us by Barbara Ingold, our neighbor who lives below us on the first floor. [...]

Give us a moment… Physicians, of course, are also constantly at the beck and call of many people who will take no responsibility at all for their own well-being, who will plead for operations they do not need. The physician is also visited by people who do not want to get well, and use the doctor and his methods as justification for further illness, saying: “The doctor is no good,” or “The medicine will not work,” therefore blaming the doctor for a way of life they have no intention of changing.

[...] Jane, who was to work on James all through September, prepared a presentation for that book so that in the meantime her editor, Tam Mossman, could show it to his associates at Prentice-Hall. On September 12, Jane had a very vivid dream that she believes was rooted in a past life of hers in Turkey: Her dream involved a little boy, Prince Emir, who lived in a brand-new world in which death hadn’t been invented yet. [...]

[...] Christianity, however, officially asks children of sorrow to be joyful and sinners to find a childlike purity; it asks them to love a God who one day will destroy the world, and who will condemn them to hell if they do not adore him.

There are individuals who very rarely get ill whether or not they are inoculated, and who are not sensitive in the health area. [...]

First, quite simply, there are many who do not see those failings and shortcomings and trends of which you spoke earlier. [...] A beginning school for those who are trying out for particular kinds of experience. [...]

[...] There is an S M connected here—a relative or friend, who has been dead for some time, who is looking after her.

[...] This does not mean that each succeeding earth experiment will be made up of selves who have been through these cycles.

[...] There are also some, not physical, who keep an eye out over the whole proceedings.

[...] Yet the dream is a vital portion of American national life, and even those who are unscrupulous must pay it at least lip service, or cast their plans in its light.

[...] How could a country be governed effectively by individuals who were after all chemicals run amok in images, with neuroticism built-in from childhood — children of a tainted species, thrown adrift by a meaningless cosmos in which no meaning could be found (very intently)?

[...] So those who felt that religion had failed them looked anew to science, which promised — promised to — provide the closest approximation to heaven on earth: mass production of goods, two cars in every garage, potions for every ailment, solutions for every problem. [...]

[...] At one time the males might have been drafted into the army, and, secretly exultant, gone looking for the period before full adulthood — where decisions would be made for them, where they could mark time, and where those who were not fully committed to life could leave it with a sense of honor and dignity.

[...] Loved ones are permitted to visit the sick on but certain occasions, so those who wish them well in the strongest terms, who are closest to them and who love them, are efficiently prevented from exerting any natural constructive behavior.

[...] The man who has believed that he was evil may now see the world, or persons of another faith or political affiliation, as evil instead. [...]

[...] Let us look into a situation involving a woman I will call Dineen, who telephoned Ruburt today from a Western state, and see one of the predicaments that can arise.

She had been going from psychic to psychic, dabbling in automatic writing and seeing little of her husband, who was involved in his own business affairs. [...]

[...] Jane talked to Carole, the medium’s wife who works with him, and stated clearly that she didn’t want others claiming to speak for her Seth—who, incidentally, had told us years ago that he spoke through no one else but Jane. [It would be interesting to get material from you-know-who on this whole question of others claiming to speak for Seth.] No shouting or anger was involved in the call. [...]

(The other event concerned a medium in Hollywood, California, who claims to be speaking for Seth, and who gave a well-advertised seminar at a Holiday Inn there. [...]

[...] When Jane called him the lawyer told Jane that his client was a 27-year-old schizophrenic who’d confessed to killing a certain woman he’d met in a Seth class both attended some years ago. [...]

[...] Jane told Carole that it was okay to use the Seth name as long as claims weren’t made that the two Seths were one and the same, especially the Seth who was producing the Seth books. [...]

I do want to emphasize, however, the existence of people like the young man who came today. You are speaking to the younger generations strongly, and they are the people who will make up the fabric of the so-called official establishments in the future, and they will come to those establishments with far different values than those people now ruling. [...]

(Seth referred to Greg, a young man who arrived here yesterday afternoon in a taxi. [...]

(9:36.) This is the reason why some scientists who either write or read science fiction, are the most incensed over any suggestion that some such ideas represent a quite valid alternate conception of reality. [...]

(Pause.) Our books are read also more often that it seems, for they are borrowed from others, and from libraries, by people who would not buy them in a store—not for financial reasons necessarily. [...]

[...] If I occasionally take you to task, I am speaking to two members of the class in particular, and if I occasionally take you to task, then ask yourselves who else cares enough to take you to task, and if I do not take you to task, who else will take you to task? [...]

[...] Now, it is she who provides strongly a supportive atmosphere in which you work. It is she who provides the warm spontaneity that allows you to develop. [...]

[...] They also serve who only stand and wait. They serve mightily who serve up copies of the nature of physical matter. [...]

It is rather difficult for those who have not been in your system to understand that you give time and images a reality of their own, as if they existed apart from you. [...]

The personality who sometimes speaks (Seth’s larger entity), can change form at will. [...]

Now it is quite possible for the advanced personalities of which I have spoken to take upon themselves the camouflage of a particular system, enter it, become for, in quotes “a time” dependent upon its rules in order to help those who dwell within it; and this has been done on occasions too countless to mention.

[...] He could however send other portions of his entity who were familiar with it.

Above all, individuals who receive such information in states of expanded consciousness are already those who feel deeply within themselves connections not only with the earth itself, but with deeper realities. [...]

The integrity of any intuitive information depends upon the inner integrity of the person who receives it. [...] All who wish to look within themselves, to find their own answers, to encounter their own “appointment with the universe,” should therefore become well acquainted with the intimate workings of their own personality.

[...] To those who believe that all answers are known, there is little need to search.

[...] Unknowingly, the individual who receives such information is himself a part of it. [...]
