“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This is affecting you, releasing your own creative energies, for his holding back in the past reinforced your own tendencies in that direction. [...]

If you try simply to spontaneously express your own normal feelings in terms of going out, etc., he is now more able to follow your lead. That is, do not inhibit your own feelings. [...]

Your own work is progressing, as you know, and by leaps and bounds. [...] If you would examine your own beliefs, you would realize why you waited this long, and I am talking about conscious beliefs.

The change, while admittedly advantageous, reflects the fact that people are being helped, and that in our way we are able to help them change their picture of reality for the better, and to enlarge their understanding.

[...] You make your own reality. [...]

[...] I can let my ability flow outward through my fingertips and brush, so that I create an entirely new reality upon the board.”

First of all, let us get a clearer view of your own intents through the years. Looking at your parents, you decided early that you would have a certain kind of relationship with a woman—a closeness that your father did not have with your mother—one that involved many facets of your own personality and with its purposes. [...]

[...] You should by now understand some of your own characteristics. [...] You seize upon them because you do not trust your own spontaneity in your work.

[...] You end up with separate disciplines: biology, psychology, physics, mathematics, and so forth, each with its own group of facts, jealously guarded, each providing its own world view: the world as seen through biology, or reality as seen through the eyes of physics.

The individual is, again, a stranger, almost an alien, in his or her own environment, in which he must struggle to survive, not only against the “uncaring” forces of the immediate environment, but against the genetic determinism. He must fight against his own body, overemphasize its susceptibility to built-in defects, diseases, and against a built-in time bomb, so to speak, when without warning extinction will arrive. [...]

[...] I’m back working on the chronology for Seth’s latest book, Dreams, and have been doing some paintings involving my own dreams. [...]

[...] Each individual has his or her own style of thinking, a peculiar, rich, individual mixture (pause) of speculations, fantasies, (pause) ideocentric ways of using subjective and objective data. [...]

[...] As the outer ego manipulates within the environment and physical reality, so the inner ego or self organizes and manipulates within an inner reality. The inner ego creates that physical reality with which the outer ego then deals.

The inner ego however is always aware of both aspects of its reality. [...] It constantly translates the components of its gestalt into reality, either physical reality through the EE units I have mentioned, or into other realities equally as valid.

An individual inner self, then, through constant massive effort of great creative intensity, cooperates with all other inner selves to form and maintain the physical reality that you know, so that physical reality is an offshoot or by-product of (pause), the highly conscious creative inner self. [...]

[...] Men will become familiar to some extent with their own inner identity, with other forms of their own consciousness. [...]

[...] There are genetic cultures operating, then, of literally infinite variety (intently), and they each have their place and their reason, and they each fit into the overall picture—not only of man’s reality but of the planet’s reality, including all of nature.

[...] Again, you have free will in the conditions of your life, given the characteristics that are your own. [...]

[...] She’d encountered me there, in my own out-of-body state, and we engaged in a very animated conversation. [...]

[...] I quoted a poem (on animal consciousness) from a book of sketches and untitled poetry that Jane had created for my birthday last June. [...]

(11:12.) I gave him helpful information, but this could only be used by him as he felt it for himself and traveled through his own system of beliefs. When you understand the nature of reality and your part in forming it, then you can no longer look to others to solve your problems for you, and you realize that your own beliefs are the rich creative elements that you yourself must mix and match. [...]

[...] It focused so defensively on its own material that it was hampering its flow of creativity, while the “unacceptable” aspects of Ruburt merrily went on creating other books, not even including my own.

[...] He accepted the fact that he formed his own reality, and that there were physical aspects of it that disturbed him deeply. [...]

[...] But in all cases you must come to grips with such unnecessary ideas, face the reality of your creaturehood, and see that you certainly have as much of a place in the universe as a squirrel, an ant or a leaf. [...] Why question your own?

[...] I have mentioned rather strenuously that it is most necessary for him to find his own establishment. The twinges that he feels are indeed warnings, or nudges rather, from his own subconscious mind, that he do this and thus bring the plans for it into actual reality.

[...] As particular portions of matter are transformed, as the inner self, through the inner senses creates a simple material object that is picked up by the outer senses clearly as, say, a table, so are these other constructions that closely mirror inner reality that are perceived by the outer senses as effects.

Again, also I have said nothing about Ruburt’s change in status at the gallery, for my own reasons. [...]

[...] Through training you will learn the various depths within which you travel, and to some extent gauge your own progress.

[...] There are those who are so tightly meshed within physical reality that the soul is squeezed dry. [...] For our friend however the inner self has been overly involved with wandering, and but lightly held within the limits of the intense focus demanded by physical reality. [...]

It is now important that he relearn the objective nature of your reality, the simple sanity of an apple as an apple. After this then perhaps he can begin to wonder at the reality behind the objective universe. [...]

[...] He has disrupted the part of the self that usually deals with physical reality, and its manipulation. [...]

[...] He battered down his own doors. [...]

[...] Even when we do catch ourselves indulging, one might say, always in the backs of our minds lies the knowledge that, really, each of us creates our own reality, and are therefore participators in whatever events we may find ourselves enmeshed in—even those we dislike. [...]

Ruburt’s own passages (in God of Jane) about the television preacher are a case in point. [...] It is very important, then, that you learn to trust your own creativity and your own vision, and allow it its expression, for it will always lead to a more fulfilling vision. [...]

[...] Just before the session, Jane said that she thought Seth was “rather cavalier” in his attitude, and that my own wasn’t very good. [...]

Ruburt wondered the other day what my own attitude might be toward the famous disclaimer, and I began to tell him. [...]

[...] You are learning how to form reality from your own beliefs. [...]

(Long pause.) He is learning to create whole private and public worlds that directly correspond to his own states of mind. [...]

[...] Science sees the world as rushing toward its own dissolution, and the self as the mechanistic system running down from the moment of its conception. [...]

[...] You can begin to sense your own good natures, in other words, and those basic natures are automatically optimistic. [...]

Miss Cunningham had been preparing herself for her own departure since she heard of the possible operations. Yet consciously, she was ignorant of her own inner decision.

[...] I knew, even then, that I had to find my own answers — that each of us does. And yet at that point, I felt duty-bound to question my own experiences, Seth and the sessions because I refused to hide in self-delusions.

At the precise time of Ruburt’s dream, Miss Cunningham was deciding to leave this plane of reality. [...]

[...] But beyond this, Miss Cunningham’s present personality has been gently disentangling itself from this plane of reality — and she simply did not remember him.

[...] To some extent, however, you are both still hypnotized by the evidence of Ruburt’s condition—where instead it should be used as a jumping-off board, as a gap to be filled with reality (emphatically). When you create you dream. [...]

In the dream state you deal with objects that may or may not have a physical reality. [...] Creativity allows you, while awake, to ignore or even to contradict what seems to be the hard evidence of known reality, either in large or small terms. [...]

[...] You recognize the absence in the present of the physical painting you want to produce, and your creativity brings that painting into reality. [...] It has been put together through the centuries, in your terms, in countless ways, bringing pictures of reality, each vivid, each contradicting the other to some extent. [...]

To some extent, creativity involves you (pause) in a contradiction with the evidence of reality within your world. [...]

[...] I came up with the question the other day, also, because I’m working with his counterpart material for Section 6 in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.)

[...] (Rob: re particles & elements, created without end, distortive instruments, etc.—see session 19, January 27, 1964. [...]

The physical world is dependent upon the relationship of everything from electrons to molecules, to mountains and oceans, from cultural organizations to private dreams, and in the scheme of reality these are all interwoven with exquisite order, spontaneity, and a logic beyond any with which you are familiar.

[...] The level of consciousness itself creates the experience of cause and effect. [...]

[...] For the weather is created by you, on a subconscious level. [...] You do indeed react, but you have already created the conditions, you see, and you then react to these in both psychic and physical ways.

All of these conditions merge to create the peculiar weather with its innumerable and constant changes. These exterior conditions then affect the individual physical structures and individuals react to the peculiar conditions which they have themselves created.

[...] This consists of electromagnetic realities operating within specific frequencies.

[...] The thrust and potential of growing things creates an overexuberance, you might say, saturating your atmosphere and changing the ionic charges both of the ground itself and the atmosphere extending upward.

Now remember: You are one earth version of your own greater personage. [...] That greater identity, however, is intrinsically your own, but is the part that cannot be physically expressed. Your experiences are your own. Through you they become a part of the experience of the greater identity, but its reality also “originally” gave you your physical existence, as you gave your children physical life. [...]

[...] But their realities are also a part of your own greater alliance.

[...] Each person is distinct, yet each is an added dimension of the others, so that on different levels the four [in this case] create an alliance and become a four-fronted counterpart self; covering a given century … This is a ‘working alliance’ that exists in potential form always. But the four-fronted counterpart self’s own sense of continuity is not broken up; it persists outside of space and time, while its parts — the individual selves, or counterparts — live in space and time….”⁶

[...] Seth’s own idea of “simultaneous time,” that “all exists at once, yet is not completed,” has run throughout his material since its inception over a decade ago. [...] It is therefore still a reality of some kind to me [my emphasis]. [...]

In simple terms, your body has an invisible counterpart in Framework 2. During life that counterpart is so connected with your own physical tissues, however, that it can be misleading to say that the two — the visible and invisible bodies — are separate. In the same way that your thoughts have a reality in Framework 2, and only for the sake of a meaningful analogy, thoughts could be said to be the equivalent, now, of objects; for in Framework 2 thoughts and feelings are far more important even than objects are in physical reality.

[...] Such events involve psychological configurations on the part of all those involved, so that the inner individual patterns of those lives touched by each such event have in one way or another a common purpose that at the same time serves the overall reality on a natural planetary basis. [...] I know it is difficult to comprehend, but every object that you perceive — grass or rock or stone — even ocean waves or clouds — any physical phenomenon — has its own invisible consciousness, its own intent and emotional coloration. [...]

[...] In those terms your thoughts mix and match with others in Framework 2, creating mass patterns that form the overall psychological basis behind world events. [...]

(10:05.) If that were not the case, your own species would not have existed as long as it has. [...]

[...] Barbara just couldn’t grasp that she was creating her own reality.

[...] A month later he offered more insights on his own reality — the kind of information we’re always interested in acquiring (as I wrote in Note 7 for the 733rd session). [...]

[...] The difference in degree, however, between my recognition of my identity and your recognition of your own reality is vast. [...]

4. Strange, how things can develop or not in our camouflage reality. [...] At the end of the 732nd session I expressed the hope that “… we’d soon begin to get the material we wanted …” from him on whether the counterpart and family-of-consciousness mechanisms applied to other species and forms than our own; hence my second question this evening. [...]

Those who need verbal messages most, and I am closing my eyes so no one will be offended, those of you who need verbal messages most, are those who have the greatest doubts about their own inner reality and experiences, (to Bette) but beyond that you distrust anyone who seems to have had a better education in this life than your own, and it is discrimination. [...]

[...] It is a particular reality in which you have chosen to know your existence, in which you have chosen to develop yourself, and it is indeed a system, again, like no other system, a unique and dear and beloved portion of reality in which you have decided to flourish for awhile. And in denying it, again, you deny the reality of experience. [...]

Within each of you there are truths that you do not know, realizations of inner reality. Now your ego, your exterior self, focuses outward into physical reality. [...] It wants to see inner knowledge projected outward onto the physical reality then, to some extent, it will accept it and so through the eons that you know this inner knowledge, this inner vitality is projected outward onto history and onto historical events as you understand them. [...]

[...] You make your own flesh and your own world as now en masse you form the evening. [...]

(Long pause, one of many, at 9:36.) Ruburt’s background formed its own relative uniqueness—the household was charged. [...] Those opportunities involved emotional understanding, a very close and emotional contact with a particular belief system, and a firsthand view of a certain kind of reality structure. [...]

Now to some extent each person tests the nature of reality in each life for himself or herself, and also for the entire generation. [...] Marie’s purposes were her own, but the two obviously embarked on a relationship together, knowing that it would go so far and be relatively unsatisfactory. [...]

Ruburt’s grandmother taught him to sleep with his hands above the coverlets, so that the child would not even begin subconsciously to feel its own parts while it slept (again intently). The Sinful Self then became very alert: how could it trust its own works, if it were so indelibly tainted? [...]

(This afternoon I’d suggested that she might like a word from Seth on her mother’s present situation—meaning that if her mother now had more insight as to her treatment of her daughter, this knowledge might help Jane feel better about her own reactions to her mother. [...]

[...] In the overall drama however it made little difference what was fact, in your terms, and what was not — for the greater reality transcends facts and creates them. [...] Its great creative power still exists and you use it in your own way, even changing your own symbolism as your beliefs change. [...]

Affirmation means acceptance of your own miraculous complexity. It means saying “yes” to your own being. It means acquiescing to your reality as a spirit in flesh. Within the framework of your own complexity, you have the right to say “no” to certain situations, to express your desires, to communicate your feelings.

If you are a part of God then He is also a part of you, and in denying your own worth you end up denying His as well. (Pause.) I do not like to use the term “He,” meaning God, since All That Is is the origin of not only all sexes but of all realities, in some of which sex as you think of it does not exist.

Christ meant, “You form your own reality. [...]
