“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I am glad I do not work at his art gallery. I am glad I am not director there. [...]

I am also aware that your real-estate man was here, and I am also aware that we are still involved in our discussion on matter. [...]

I am not going to hold a full session because of the extra one. Nevertheless I am concerned that we do progress in our discussion on matter, and some of tonight’s material is quite important.

[...] However, I am not acquainted at least with that name. [...]

[...] I am trying to look at your situation from all angles while I am about it, to see if any other adjustments should be made.

[...] And also, I am at present against these fairly frequent sessions where, on the one hand, Ruburt pretends that he is merely resting; that is, he pretends to himself, but actually he is expanding his energies, and expending them just as quickly, for this amounts to more than one psychological time experiment daily.

[...] However, his energies on weekends as a rule should be more outgoing, and I am sorry that it has been necessary to curtail your dancing activities. [...]

I am not saying that you should not talk about our sessions or allied subjects with friends, only that one night or sometimes two, of social discourse should certainly contain some more outward enjoyments. [...]

[...] Nevertheless I am aware of my responsibilities in this matter. [...]

[...] I am such a windbag. [...]

(December 8, Tuesday, 11:30 AM: A very good state achieved.

(December 10, Thursday, 11:30 AM: An excellent state achieved.

[...] I am speaking now of reasonable reactions. I am not speaking of flying off the handle, say, at each small upset. [...]

Always ask yourself “Am I reacting to this present event only, as I should, or am I reacting to this event and five others in the past to which I did not react?” Soon you will find yourself with responses in proportion to present events, and will be free from old habits.

[...] I am using the present case but it has general implications. [...]

[...] I am trying to get you both straightened out, but this material, directed to you, can still be of great general use. [...]

[...] I am pleased with Ruburt’s progress, and I am pleased with your reactions to the book.

[...] I am not telling you to do one thing or the other. I am merely pointing out the possibilities.

[...] I believe I am with the wrong side of the family (pause). I am not sure here but we do seem to have an uncle. [...]

I am not trying to rob him of his own sterling nature. but beyond those qualities which you recognize, you intuitively sense other qualities and it is these of which I am speaking.

(Long pause at 11:01.) You have heard the expression before, I am sure, that the environment expresses a particular individual’s personality. I am telling you that this is a literal and not symbolic truth. [...]

Now in the same way, I am telling you that objects are also symbols that stand for a reality whose meaning the objects, like the letters, transmit. [...]

[...] (Smile, at 10:36.) A note: I am very pleased….

I am pleased with the beginning of my chapter, for I think I have hit upon an analogy, and a true one, that will release the reader from the artificial bondage of physical form. [...]

[...] And I am in both circles. So I am a common denominator. And I am a friendly common denominator. And when you hear me speak, it is not only my vitality that you hear, but it is also your own vitality—for I am also a part of All That Is—and if I am ancient and new, so are you ancient and new. [...] But I am a part of no particular room and no particular time and no particular place. [...]

[...] And because I have known vulnerability, I am still alive. [...]

Thursday: 10:10 AM-12 —Good James.

(Feel easier AM. [...]

[...] 2 hours AM. [...]

I am indeed going to hold a very brief session, out of the goodness of my heart, and for the sole purpose of letting you know that I do, if only occasionally, give you some time off. [...]

[...] In any case, I am through with you this evening.

To be less facetious, I am giving you a brief session also to let you know that since you did hold an unscheduled session, I will endeavor to equalize whenever situations occur of this sort.

[...] I am amused because Ruburt is so surprised. [...]

So I am the Seth that is beyond the Seth that you know. [...] In your terms I am a future Seth. [...]

[...] And within that reality even I am dwarfed and there is knowledge that can never be verbal. [...]

(Very late in the evening, Carl Watkins woke me to express concern because of the length of the session tonight—at perhaps 1 AM or later. [...]

[...] And of course I am to blame. I am most certainly not to blame. [...]

[...] You would call the fruits, I am sure, extra benefits or extrasensory perceptions. This is just a little story of my own, though I am glad to see a smile on Joseph.

[...] Woe to anyone who gives a personality knowledge in the manner in which I am giving you knowledge. [...]

When I speak of the whole self I am of course referring to the personality as it exists in its entirety, having at its command use of both the inner and outer senses. [...]

I am not frightening now, am I? I am indeed as peaceful as a tired old dove with battered wings, and a beak smoothed down. [...]

[...] You must realize that I am not speaking symbolically. I am speaking in very practical terms. [...]

I am pleased that Ruburt’s mood has somewhat improved. [...]

I am speaking of these matters since I have intended to do so personally to you, and also because they tie in very well, as you will see, with some of our own discussions. [...]

[...] I am speaking now mainly of the hay fever allergy. [...] I am not speaking of your indigestion remedies here.

(Long pause, eyes closed.) I am quiet simply because I am searching for future suggestions here. [...]

I am indeed. (Smile, eyes closed.) I am its inspiration.

[...] The immobile foot was a direct translation of the following: “I am exhausted and I will go no further at this point.” [...]

[...] I am extremely pleased with your progress, both of you. [...]

[...] I certainly do regret the necessity for such a brief session, but I am often near in periods such as these, and I help you use your own abilities whenever I can.

I am pleased to find you both in a fairly peaceful state. [...]

I will bid you a most pleasant good evening, my dear friends, and often I am with you.

[...] Am I afraid of the world? Am I afraid of my neighbors? Am I afraid of inspiration, or whatever? [...]

[...] Everything that I am saying tonight is an effort to minimize Ruburt’s discomfort, and to quicken the healing. I am going to suggest a program, and regardless of what you think of it, the two of you, I would like you to try it, and urge you to do so. I do not expect that you will approve of it entirely, but I can assure you that it will be beneficial if you try to place trust in what I am saying.

[...] I am aware of course of your conversation this morning, and I must state that it is difficult for me to try to explain what is so clear to me, and obviously unperceived by either of you a good deal of the time.

[...] I am aware that often neither of you thinks Ruburt is improving one whit—and of course that is part of the difficulty. [...]

(Humorously:) Now I am not calling either of you down. I am not exactly giving you a medal, either.

I am saying then that some of your interpretations of the relationship were based on what you would call factual reality, but part was also based on your own insecurity.

(Humorously:) I am not done with you yet, but I do not want him (Carl) to feel left out over here, and while you are recovering I will speak to him: for you were also in your own isolated universe, and if hers had fears in it, then yours was a valley of desolation in which your emotions were like unruly animals galloping around in there; and you were so frightened and worried about your own worth that you could not consider hers, and you were so insecure that her sensing insecurity, when you were aware of it, drove you to anger.

Now, I am going to take a break while my friend (Rob) reads back what I have said, and then I will return. [...]

[...] I am not speaking of a social background, as you should know. I am speaking of a psychic background and environment that were, and are, unhealthy and detrimental, and with which you should not become involved. I am speaking of a psychic environment only, and of a home situation on her part which has deeply colored her activities, and which regulates her relationships.

I am not here referring in particular to any affair that might prove embarrassing. I am referring to an affair... [...]

[...] I am not harsh with you. [...] And I am always hampered both by time and because of mechanical difficulties, and because we must be so still and silent.

[...] While I do not try to tune in indiscriminately with those with whom I am acquainted, nevertheless my range is wide, and at times I pick up information, and I am projected to places. [...]

I am telling you that you are not a cosmic bag of bones and flesh, thrown together through some mixture of chemicals and elements. I am telling you that your consciousness is not some fiery product, formed merely accidentally through the interworkings of chemical components.

[...] I am outside, returning momentarily to a dimension that I know and loved. I am not in your terms a resident, however. [...]

[...] Now some of the things that I may say about physical reality in this book may startle you, but remember that I am viewing it from an entirely different standpoint.

I am not comparing personality to an orange or an onion, but I want to emphasize that as these things grow from within outward, so does each fragment of the entire self. [...]

I am able to change them as action while retaining the knowledge that I am that which changes, and find my stability in change. [...]

I am here simply to let Ruburt know that he can reach me. The session has been long enough this evening however, but know I am here whether or not you hear—my pun—my melodious voice. [...]

[...] I believe your word latent suggests something that has not yet shown itself, however, and the particular kind of ghost image to which I am referring has instead already been manifested physically.

I am barely beginning to hint here of the psychological structures and capacities. [...]

[...] But I am not aware and wasn’t of the way in which the impressions came; not one image that I recall. [...] Giving test data in the sessions, there are translations that I make and I am careful, trying to interpret what I get; here, the interpretations were already made; at a subconscious level? [...]

[...] I am afraid of it to some degree. [...] But the other night was just too much, the second episode, even considering these points, as far as I am concerned. [...]

[...] I mentioned Greenwich, Connecticut; I didn’t even know there was a Greenwich, in Connecticut, though I am familiar with Greenwich, NY, and it seems to me I thought there was one in Vermont. [...]

[...] Certainly if the Seth sessions had involved this sort of thing—particularly in the beginning—I am pretty sure we wouldn’t have continued them. [...]
