“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] When I went back into the living room I told her that we must be doing something wrong, or that we’d have achieved much better results over the years regarding her symptoms. [...]

[...] To a lesser degree, Ruburt’s agility, his performance as a dancer and so forth, gave him the feeling that even physical achievements carried an ease that many did not possess. [...]

[...] Each time I manage to dispense of something that way, I regard it as an achievement. [...]

[...] Philip will not achieve certain stated goals unless he takes strong measures, but certain unstated goals on his part will be met.

[...] On this level, which also achieved its purpose, the water image was translated into a bag, or the bag of water that burst.

[...] Psychological time for both of you should be maintained, for psychic education and for the physical benefits achieved through momentary release from physical time. [...]

[...] In certain states of consciousness, particularly in projections from the dream state, we achieve a peculiar poise of alertness. [...]

[...] That is, it seems that we could achieve the same results with less exaggerated, less damaging extremes of behavior. [...] I granted that one could always say that the same end couldn’t be achieved by not going as far, but then, I told Jane, if one followed that line of reasoning to its logical conclusion, physical death would result — that state would be the final extreme of any form of behavior.

“And that, though Seth spoke about some matters being almost impossible to explain, he enjoyed the challenge, and felt a sense of achievement rather than frustration….”

In ordinary terms that challenge, that achievement, are Jane’s own, as she seeks to bring to consciousness information from the creative Seth portion (whatever its source may be) of her psyche, and unite it with her “usual” creative accomplishments. [...]

When he began to achieve some success, so that tours were offered, for example, he checked himself further against such “temptations” and to some extent, in theory if not in practice, you heartily concurred. [...]

The effects added to the disapproval, for while one purpose was achieved, his stance and walking were affected. [...]

[...] They are ill, unhappy, dissatisfied, and without your feelings of achievement or inner accomplishment. [...]

[...] They are achievements that arise out of a given situation, while often in your terms the given challenge may not seem to be solved.

[...] The idea isn’t that a stay in the hospital will work a miracle cure —though I’d be delighted if it did —but that some help or easing of Jane’s symptoms might eventually be achieved through therapy or whatever. [...]

[...] We keep hoping these will play in important part in letting her achieve more physical release. [...]

[...] But now I felt that we had to do something drastic to make a start, and that we had achieved something. [...]

You had a history of bodily achievement in terms of sports, that led you to take an additional joy in the body that tempered the basic concepts you held. [...]

[...] It may be beating a dead horse, but let me say that I’ve told Jane time and again that I don’t consider her physical condition an acceptable price to pay for any sort of creative achievement. [...]

[...] I think the session probably the most important that we’ve achieved, though this importance is built upon all those that have gone before, of course.

[...] Some of this did have to do with old ideas that you were angry at him for any success if you had not achieved your own—and more, that the success might take you on tours and further away from your own work, which would make you angrier at him.

[...] Many spend a lifetime searching for that recognition with another human being, or achieve it but briefly. [...]

[...] You believed that together you could achieve what had not been achieved earlier — that you could somehow or other offer meaningful and real solutions to the world’s problems…. [...]

These achievements begin with the simple practice of Psy-Time. [...]

[...] There is even an acceleration of thought and inspiration, much like that experienced in the adolescent years, that suddenly brings a new understanding to the aged individual, and provides an impetus that should help the person to achieve greater comprehension — a comprehension that should quell all fears of death.

I do not mean to scold her, but in her well-meaning sympathy she can hold down the native joy that he feels, when left to his own standards of achievement.

[...] Give yourself suggestions only when you recognize that you have achieved a certain sense of peace within you, even if it is only momentary, the feeling that you have stilled your fears for the time being.

[...] Knowledge of the basic universe can be achieved, interpreted and retained by your scientists in ways that I will at first outline, and then cover more completely.

[...] And the truly hilarious part of this is that such seemingly subjective data will enable you to cut through objective, or so-called objective, reality in a way that will give you so-called proofs, that you can achieve in no other fashion.

[...] It is simply much easier, and even more scientific, to achieve a so-called, again, objective view of your universe by going inward, than it is to attempt to escape your distortive atmosphere by going further outward, because in the outward direction you will only meet more camouflage.

[...] There will be no backtracking, and while achievements along some lines may be slower they can be counted upon.

Luckily, those beliefs allowed the possibility of achievement even if they did also permit experience most dismaying. [...] Your focus must be upon your abilities, your achievements; the realities—all of them—of the moment. [...]

[...] You have again fallen into the habit, negatively, of considering your achievements in other areas as insignificant—(louder:) in light of Ruburt’s condition as if they caused his condition. [...]

[...] After the session I massaged all of Jane’s limbs — and once again achieved excellent results. [...]

[...] This does not mean that in all dreams that particular kind of awareness is achieved, but it is often accomplished within the suggested wake-sleep pattern.

(Very actively delivered:) In your current beliefs, again, consciousness is equated in very limited terms with your conception of intellectual behavior: you consider this to be a peak of mental achievement, growing from the “undifferentiated” perceptions of childhood, and returning ignominiously to them again in old age.
