“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] A native who is dressed in clothes that do not belong to him: he is performing. [...]

[...] He speaks with several male natives and an American man, from Minnesota, who deals in a business that is connected with salt.

[...] There are also people, of course, who never fall prey to such unfortunate cycles, but instead remain exuberantly free and healthy. [...]

[...] (Pause.) People who are exuberant are healthy. [...]

[...] We had a salesman who used the place as a business address, and he was there that night. [...]

[...] For that matter, I was somewhat frightened of Walt, who threatened to leave me when he got angry in a new town we happened to be in, but we made it to the west coast. [...]

[...] In terms of air, water, how freely these are available to you, sunlight, even the abundance for example of emotional energy present in your friend who just left here, for he makes it available to you also, and gives of it freely. [...]

Whenever possible such reactions should always be expressed directly by the person involved to the person who causes the irritation, regardless of whatever steps may be taken. [...]

[...] At the same time, you hope and pray subconsciously that the man will disappoint you because this male in your mind has godlike qualities that attract you; on the other, you see him as all powerful and as one who gives out punishment and one who is unreasoning and cruel because you felt that your father was cruel. [...]

(I am very, very impatient with clumsy people who can’t open jars or push cars or hammer nails. [...]

[...] Now this only applies to men who are older than you. [...]

([Jane:] “Who’s he trying to get to publish it?”

[...] Those who are paranoid are, unfortunately, those who most firmly believe the worst idiocies of science and religion. [...]

[...] A person who feels that life has no meaning, and that his or her life in particular has no meaning, would rather be pursued than ignored. [...]

Now it is true that two individuals in particular who have left physical reality have been trying to help Ruburt, particularly in the dream state. [...]

[...] A period of time where the issue is uncertain on both the part of your present landlord and your prospective buyer. (Florence Halliday, who was once an ESP student of Jane’s.) This, again because of the psychic conditions involved, is highly plastic. [...]

[...] If your conscious mind is to be a foreman he must be one who is easy to get along with, and not so authoritative that he is yelling demands all the time. [...]

[...] Those who require more sleep would then take, say, a two-hour nap. [...]

[...] And even those who think they now need more sleep than this would find that they did not, if all the time was not spent in one block. [...]

[...] Those who work the American working hours, for example, could sleep between four to six hours an evening, according to individual variations, and nap after supper. [...]

This does not mean that those people are committing suicide in the same way that a person does who takes his life — but that in a unique psychological manipulation they no longer hold the same claim to life as they had before. [...]

[...] That is, there were “apes” who attained their own “civilizations,” for example. [...]

To those who want easy answers, this is no answer, I admit. [...]

[...] I reminded her of the stories one hears about the chronically ill, who run from doctor to doctor with no intention of getting well, because their illness serves purposes in the present. [...]

[...] Strange, I thought, if it turned out that personal work would be one of the most creative of all the uses to which the Seth material could be put, rather than grandiose pronouncements coming down from on high, dispensed by one who was in a position of superiority.

[...] You also had a wife to look after who had physical difficulties. [...]

If you wanted to monitor the number of people who came to the house, or the publicity involved, the symptoms provided a built-in framework. [...]

[...] It’s a project that Jane herself never figured she’d do, but wanted done — and Sue, who was a class member, is talented psychically herself, has a newspaper and reporting background, and is ideally qualified for the job.¹ (Conversations, we think, is sure to be published before Mass Events, since Tam is supposed to have Sue’s manuscript in hand by January 1980, for publication in the fall of that year. [...]

So your present experience is quite different than that of those forefathers who lived in the medieval world, say, and you cannot appreciate the differences in your [present] subjective attitudes, and in the quality, as well as the kind of, social intercourse that exists now. [...]

[...] Sue took us up on the idea this time, though — and was both exhilarated and terrified when Tam, who was instantly enthusiastic, asked her for an outline and a couple of chapters. [...]

3. A reminder: Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was the Austrian physician who founded psychoanalysis.

[...] For the test object I used a letter from my brother Loren, who lives in Tunkhannock, PA. [...]

[...] When Jane and I were on our way to the home of the Gallaghers, who live on top of a steep and long hill outside Elmira, the car lost power, then stalled out on the hill. [...]

[...] I did find it interesting, especially when I contemplated trying to explain it to our service manager at the garage, who is a personal friend of ours, but does not know about these sessions.)

[...] The car is also to him a complementary image of his father, who was always on the move, more so than most men, while his mother could not move at all. [...]

In a society in which individuals were encouraged to work with the psyche and with specialists who understood it, illnesses would be seen as physical symptoms of inner imbalances. [...] The healthy person is one who is balanced at any given time in your terms, as far as his or her relationship with the psyche is concerned; with the world and its relationships.

[...] So I demand the bees!” And who would it ask for these things? [...]

And who, I ask you, would listen? [...]

[...] In her dismay, she visited a psychologist, who told her that her marriage might somehow be part of the problem. [...]

[...] She went to the doctor, who told her he did not believe there was anything wrong. [...]

[...] Who defines what is right and wrong, legal and illegal?

[...] In those terms, we each have our personal ‘God,’ and I am convinced that the universe knows us no matter who or where — or what — we are. [...]

Anyone who experienced “something that could not exist” was therefore to some extent or another deluded or deranged. [...]

[...] We will see who laughs now.”

[...] (Pause at 11:35.) Your concepts of personhood are now limiting you personally and en masse, and yet your religions, metaphysics, histories, and even your sciences are hinged upon your ideas of who and what you are. [...]

[...] They may appear esoteric or complicated, yet they are not beyond the reach of any person who is determined to understand the nature of the unknown elements of the self, and its greater world.

[...] 19 three six, or nineteen six six in connection with the plane, type of plane, I believe, or the pilot is connected with a man who in 1936 conceived ideas not used until this particular plane’s construction.

A connection with another man who visited him recently, and who spoke of a colleague who is from another state, and in the same field as Dr. Instream. [...]
