“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] You have, for example, the extremes of poverty suffered by people in many other parts of the world — a poverty that stunts all kinds of growth, mental and physical, and brings about an early death. Or the extremes of disease, in which children are born without all the faculties needed for life, and — therefore also die an early death. [...]

(In the session notes for January 9, I’d noted that I still felt that something was holding Jane back from feeling free to walk, in spite of all the advances we’ve made. [...]

[...] Therefore, when you are tempted to think of it as an end of all, then remember that you know a rather lively spirit and when you hear my voice speaking through Ruburt this evening then remember how hoarse it was before I began to speak, and know indeed that were I not such a gentleman, I could add considerably to its volume. [...]

This does not mean that the demonstration serves no purpose, for all of my demonstrations serve a purpose and this one is to show that there is indeed a vitality that lives beyond the grave and that there is joy, and the personality continues to exist for this most willing and friendly associative man can permit me to speak in the most fearless and carefree tones. [...]

[...] I will not forget you for now I feel I know you all very well indeed. [...]

[...] The creative self is the most spontaneous of all. [...]

[...] Your creativity spans all of reality. [...]

[...] He is freer now, but all of this applies to him when he resumes on another book. [...]

You have done neither because in your present situation you have some contact with people, minimum upkeep, and all of this represents a passing acquaintance with the world at large. [...]

[...] At the same time for all your protest, the (to me) apartment noises are comforting. [...]

[...] Now the walking is directly involved with all of this. [...]

[...] No living consciousness exists on any plane without this tissue capsule enclosing it … To some inhabitants of other planes [realities] that have access to your plane, all that can be seen of you is this capsule, since such inhabitants have had no experience in your particular type of camouflage [physical] construction. [...]

[...] Listing them as I’ve done here is also apt to artificially set them aside from the flow of insights within the poetry Jane has written since childhood; actually, of course, all are related.

“The universe as you think of it contains innumerable planes, all taking up, in your terms, the same amount of space. [...]

This sort of experience involves a sudden psychic awareness, straight from the entity, that all boundaries are for practical purposes only. [...]

[...] These vehicles cannot stay on your plane for any length of time at all. [...]

In other terms, you could say that an entity visits all planes simultaneously, as it is possible for you to visit a certain state, county, and city at one time. [...]

[...] All of these could be considered as atmospheric conditions through which I must enter.

[...] (Pause.) If you study this material closely, you will see that I have answered your question more clearly than you realize, and indeed in the only way that would make any sense at all.

[...] Your question stems however from the idea that if I am here I cannot be somewhere else at the same time, or that all of my energies must be focused here at the session. [...]

[...] And all of these portraits are alive and interacting, and as they interact they form the planetary, mass social and political events of your world.

[...] Give us a moment… Your imaginations are intimately connected with your diseases, just as your imaginations are so important in all other areas of your lives. [...]

(10:20.) Give us a moment… Now many of the characteristics you consider human — in fact, most of them — appear to one extent or another in all other species. [...]

Now—is it all right for me to come in now?

He told himself he understood what the feelings were, and did not approve of them, but he did not allow them expression at all.

[...] Ruburt simply carries this further than you do, rigidly holding his ground despite all entreaties to the contrary.

(9:51.) In fact, Western society has attempted to force all expression of love and devotion into sexual activity, or otherwise ban it entirely. [...]

It means that all options except sexual freedom have been denied. [...]

[...] This causes a schism in all of your cultural activities.

[...] Talking to herself: “It’s all right.” [...]

Ruburt is delighted, as you are, with his ever-increasing mobility, yet he still wonders when all of this will be translated into practical activity—meaning he wonders when he will be able to sit up properly, and begin to walk. [...]

[...] It knows all of the necessary manipulations to be carried on. [...]

[...] You both seem to fear that all your time will be consumed, or that you will be at the mercy of others if you give in at all. [...]

[...] To help and resent helping is worse for you than not to help at all, for you are then deprived of time without benefit.

[...] In most instances the possession concept makes it all the more upsetting. [...] In all cases of this nature involving Augustus-type episodes, the problem is one of unassimilated beliefs. [...]

[...] “When all this started [in late 1963] about speaking in trance,” Jane said, “I used to feel that there was just one word available at a time, with nothing before it or after it — but now I sense whole blocks of material there just waiting to be given. [...]

[...] I am sure that I mentioned this before, but I wanted to refresh your memory, and this applies, generally speaking, to all individuals. [...]

^* In Jane/Seth’s The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, which was published in 1981, I wrote: “Seth maintains that Framework 2, or inner reality, contains the creative source from which we form all events, and that by the proper focusing of attention we can draw from that vast subjective medium everything we need for a constructive, positive life in Framework 1, or physical reality.” [...]

[...] My heartiest wishes to you all. [...]

All right. [...]

[...] The basis for all experience is depth perception, and value fulfillment. [...]

[...] To the inner senses all of these existences are simultaneous.

The various reincarnated selves can be superficially (underlined) regarded as portions of a whole crossword puzzle for they are all portions of the whole; and yet they can exist scattered from the whole, although their meaning is then diminished. [...]

He is fiercely protective of you, and regardless of his feelings about families, you see, had he felt that your parents dealt kindly with you he would have gone along with them all the way. [...]

[...] The protective layers were built up so strongly, and became such a part of the personality structure, that I could not bring them all toppling down from the inside.

[...] If he thought you looked tired, or at all reproachful or worried or bothered on a session night, he would feel that you did not really want to have a session. [...]

[...] Your time sense gives it and all matter the appearance of durability. [...] Some, and a large amount, of this energy passes through the physical field so that you do not perceive it at all, taking form that you do not distinguish, and that cannot be harnessed on the physical level. [...]

[...] All energy is basically self-activating, but different energy potentials are required for effective utilization in various electromagnetic fields.

[...] You are dealing now with what may be thought of as energy envelopes, and this is a most valid description of all realities. [...]

First of all, you do not realize or appreciate our joint accomplishment to date in that regard. [...]

Castaneda’s books, for all their seeming unconventionality, had a niche to fall into, for here was the quite conventional scholar exploring a culture, even of the mind; not his own—but safely, within an academic framework to which he then returned, and to which academic readers could identify. [...]

Both varieties of books allow the reader a built-in distance that provides a cushion against cultural shock: the story is, after all, secondhand. [...]

(On Friday evening, September 5, we had as visitors Dick and Carol Crossed; Edward Gassner, 3664 Culver Road [14622], and Bernard Houlihan, 25 Ewer Avenue [14622]—all of Rochester, New York. [...]

Your subsequent behavior however does not follow his pattern at all. [...]
