“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] All experiences have an electrical reality. Your experiences at York Beach had such a reality, and having met you, not Dr. Instream but his wife unconsciously picked up this connection, and responded to it.

[...] For there are various balances, or rather various delicate imbalances, which must be maintained; and there are differences also in the makeup of dream images, which are usually seen only by the dreamer, and some other more physical materializations which may be created by the semi-waking self, and under certain circumstances seen by others.

This material will be most helpful in our own sessions, since when we are finished with it you will understand to some degree those conditions which may be advantageous and those which are not.

[...] Since all things have an electrical and chemical reality, the food that you eat is also important, and it is for this reason that I made certain suggestions concerning your diet.

[...] The creative energies build up their thickly-dimensioned pseudo-realities of pain. For a certain amount of time, according to your condition, they automatically create the patterns of fear that belong to the ego.

[...] But the subconscious knows its own meat and its own sauce and the best means for its nourishment.

[...] They listen to their growing as you might listen to your own heartbeat. They experience this oneness with their own growth, and they also feel pain. [...]

[...] I’ll ask him to comment, if he doesn’t on his own.”

[...] In prehistoric times, mankind evolved the ego to help him deal with camouflage patterns that he had, himself, created. [...] The inner senses led him into a reality he could not manipulate as easily as he could physical camouflage, and he feared what he thought of as a loss of mastery.

[...] Here is an account from his own notes:

There is an inner sense, Joseph, that, in a vague manner, corresponds to your own inner images. [...]

Psychological time is so a part of inner reality that even though the inner self is still connected to the body, you are, in the dream framework, free of some very important physical effects. [...]

[...] The direct experience in this procedure will indeed be your own, and because it is your own it will bear fruit.

[...] So, though he would wish that we go quickly, we shall go slowly, for the nature of his own reactions causes in some degree the necessity for the illness.

[...] The personality, the present ego, will not acquiesce to action, will not go along with it as part of it, but attempts to force it along its own directions. [...]

The ego of the personality does not trust its own inner organisms. [...]

[...] I am now caught up with Seth’s work, except for whatever may lie ahead with Mass Reality—but we regard that as current work, still in progress, of course. [...]

[...] Later it seemed that the two of you made your way alone almost as aliens in your society, couched only by your own joint courage and determination. [...]

[...] Yet financial security is important to both of you, because it allows you the freedom to create as you choose, and to follow this path. [...]

He is overall good-natured, of good intent, as ready to serve the indulgences of others as his own. [...]

[...] Your present father secretly admires Loren’s apparent easy sociability, not knowing that Loren is forced to laugh and shout loudly, just as your father is more or less forced by his own personality to sit silent and sullen.

Personality fragment of your own. [...]

[...] These powers to project realities of this sort, or pseudorealities of this sort, are meant to be suspended for all intents and purposes during the earth plane. [...]

The entity, after all, does just this in creating the various personalities. [...]

[...] The outer ego is rather more tied to physical properties, and yet it can directly experience inner reality by a change of focus through aligning itself with the inner ego, focusing its energies with the inner rather than the outer senses. This is by far the most advantageous method of experiencing inner reality, because the outer ego is therefore consciously aware of what has been going on, and can use such knowledge in its own sphere.

When the two are in balance and when there is communication between them, then the inner ego can directly communicate with the outer ego, bring to it the necessary enlightenments, and give it, that is give the outer ego the benefit of its own, the inner ego’s own, condensed comprehension and direct participation in the existence of the universe as a whole.

The inner self obviously needs the outer ego with its outer senses, in order to permit its own materialization in various camouflage forms. [...] Without the outer core, the inner self could simply not add to its own value fulfillment through participation in energy-constructs (hyphen).

Other egos choose instead to become entities of their own, in which case this magnificent outer ego becomes in turn an inner ego, which then from its own unfulfilled desires, abilities and initiatives are formed new outer egos which once again seek fulfillment.

[...] Without this acquiescence, the physical structure would never maintain itself, for the atoms and molecules within it constantly accept painful stimuli and suffer even their own destruction. They are aware of their own separateness within action and of their reality within it.

In the dream, then, he goes into his own room. [...] Though he is afraid, he realizes that he is part of the storm — it is not destructive but creative and, most of all, a simple elemental part of reality. [...]

As the personality is changed by any action, so it is changed by its own dreams. As it is molded by the exterior environment, so it is molded by the dreams that it creates and which help form its interior world. [...]

Again, if the personality is fairly well balanced, then his existence in dream reality will reinforce his physical existence. You are involved in a juggling of realities. [...]

[...] He said that I might speak about dream locations, since he has been working on this subject for his own book.

He wants to know in what dimension dream locations have their reality, and indeed he has considered all of the possibilities save the correct one. [...]

[...] As you should know by now, physical objects are only the results of your own perception, and this perception is based upon your psychological makeup, your physical structure, certain combinations of nerves and chemical reactions. [...]

Each dream location is created by the individual precisely in the same way that I have explained to you; that is, they do not differ basically from physical locations, but in one degree. [...]

“Unknown” Reality, Volume 2, and Psyche, will come out fairly close together. Prentice will follow any policy there that you want, and indeed would welcome your own ideas, for without them they are not certain of your intents. [...]

[...] You also used the drawing and your talent to some degree as a method of exerting your own independence from her oftentimes smothering love. You were told in so many words that it was selfish of you to spend so much time by yourself, for often even when you were with Loren (my younger brother), for example, you carried a circle of your own intent about you.

[...] You have gone your own ways, but in some cases you are still hampered by old beliefs. [...]

[...] If Jane didn’t want to talk she would have said so,” for Frank is not used to trusting his own intuitions. [...]

All of this data is instantly available; only the ego is unaware of this field of reality. [...] It should be realized that the probable self also has its own dreams.

I have told you that each individual creates physical matter, including objects and his own image. [...]

This probable field seeds many other systems beside your own. [...] Not only does it feed the physical universe, but in it, many aspects of your own dreams become actual. [...]

Before I speak about some of my students’ dreams, I want to give some further samples of my own, showing how precognition in dreams can give us pertinent information about events in which we have deep emotional interest. [...]

[...] Accordingly, then, a Jane Roberts Butts and a Robert F. Butts live in that apartment I’m creating. [...] reinforces our activities in larger realms of consciousness, as well as in our “present” joint reality, in which my wife is now chair-bound.

[...] They begin to look at the structure of their lives in a different fashion that attempts to evoke from nature, and from their own natures, some graceful effortlessness, some freedom nearly forgotten. They begin to turn toward a more natural and a more magical approach to their own lives. [...] Surprising events that were earlier covered up or ignored seem to appear with greater frequency, and everywhere a new sense of quickness and acceleration gradually alters the expectations of people in regard to the events of their own lives, and to the behavior they expect from others. [...]

(Three months ago, way back on August 13, following the outline she’d written on July 8 for The Magical Approach to Reality: A Seth Book,¹ Jane began work on the first draft for Chapter 1 of that project. [...]

[...] Nor is it contradictory of me even now to note that Jane’s path is quite in accord with her basically innocent, mystical nature—for her acceptance of her nature makes possible her explorations of it in her own unique ways. [...]

The desire for discovery, and the ability to create are strong in all of you, and also in others who will come here. In various ways you have struggled with psychic realities; and Mark and Roarck are also involved with practical considerations involving women, as earlier Ruburt was involved with her Walter, and you, Joseph, were also involved.

[...] I had my own equipment handy however, and grabbed them up. [...]

[...] However in this existence the personality has opened up to a more considerable degree, and for its own development should continue to do so.

[...] If I did not take advantage of your own camouflage system, then you would not be able to understand the material at this time.

[...] It appears that my own hassles are related to my fears that Jane’s improvements may not continue. [...]

When you were both children, to some degree each of you felt that you were different because of your intense subjective activity—and to some extent, and different for both of you—you felt that you had to “fight for” the freedom to pursue subjective reality.

[...] So some of this disapproval has to do with your own attitudes about the attitudes of others as they view your lives.

[...] Bates’s book, or rather philosophy, suggesting that the eyes were not made for reading, is an example of a different kind, implying that there were no books when the eye was created—and so therefore it is not natural for the eye to see letters—while it is natural for the eye to see, say, trees. [...]

[...] Your own inner senses will add greater reality than you can imagine at this point.

In prehistoric times mankind evolved the ego and self-consciousness to help him deal with the camouflage patterns that he had created. [...] The inside senses led him to a reality he could not manipulate as easily as he could a camouflage world, and he feared what he thought of as a loss of mastery.

There is an inner sense, dear Joseph, that in a vague manner corresponds to your own inner images. [...]

[...] For one thing, psychological time is so much a part of inner reality that even though your inner self is still connected to the physical body, you are in the dream framework free of some very important physical effects. [...]

As you are not aware of many so-called realities with which your own cat is familiar, so you are completely unaware of other universes that coexist with your own. Your outer senses are equipped to perceive your own camouflage patterns. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that mankind is not alone in maintaining the physical universe, and in giving it continuity as he projects and constructs his own physical image; and as this image is the direct result of his own inner psychic climate, and as it reflects most faithfully his own inner joy and illness, and as this joy and illness shows itself physically in his image, so also do all living things construct their own images, and help to maintain the physical properties of your universe.

The fact is, that even in your own universe all of your camouflage forms are not perceived by any one species, your own included. At best your scientists will only discover more of these camouflage patterns, but the entire system will simply not be perceived by any one species, and you will never perceive camouflage patterns outside of your own patterns. [...]

[...] I mentioned how the atoms and molecules combine to form cells, while each individual atom and molecule does not give up its own uniqueness, but forms rather a gestalt, so that a cell is indeed a psychic gestalt given physical construction through the capacity that exists within each individual component.

[...] The senses within the recognizable senses perceive and create an inner world … once you exist on a particular plane you must necessarily be attuned to it while blocking out many other perceptions. [...] When survival is more or less satisfied through attention, then you can afford to perceive other realities.”

[...] We had enough of our own to consider.

The impression Rob got from the voice, gestures, and manner was that of an energetic, educated gentleman of the “old school,” in his sixties perhaps, extraordinarily intelligent but aware of his own foibles—a man with a highly developed yet old-fashioned sense of humor. [...]

[...] When the session was over, my own voice was still fresh and clear, with no trace of the earlier difficulties. [...]

[...] You do not want blind followers, as once you had them, but you do want to create your own kind of inner civilization, and you are.

[...] He also played down physical abilities, for toward the end of that life he became hungry for knowledge, and wondered at his own unbridled use of power.

[...] In early years Ruburt found it difficult even to contradict you, even while he insisted upon his own independence of mind, and upon his use of his abilities. [...]

[...] In this life, therefore, you always felt sorry for those you felt could not achieve, and often held back your own abilities or criticisms for that reason.

Many people are unable to endow fragments with such physical reality, and thus shove them more or less harmlessly away at arm’s length. It is as if in Ruburt’s great experience the other night that the dissociated part of the personality donned another identity and battled with Ruburt’s own for dominance.

[...] I came halfway in on an interesting little experiment that Ruburt tried on his own, and you can thank me that he came out of it so well. [...]

[...] On a subconscious basis this is exactly how you both created the images at York Beach, the difference being that the personality split occurred on the subconscious level.

[...] Your voice is too sensitive and rough this evening for me to attempt any transformation of it into the more melodious accents of my own.

One of the reasons, Joseph, for your own lack of festive spirit in the past has been the result of your realization that this gap between idealism and action is great. [...]

[...] This does not mean that these do not represent symbolic realities.

This feeling that Christmas represented hypocrisy has been one of the main reasons for your own low spirits during the season, for it represented a rather deep disillusionment with the culture in which you were nurtured.

[...] In many ways it is more true than historic fact, for man himself created that which had not been provided. [...]
