“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I am not saying there is no free will. I am simply making a statement about this realm of probabilities.

[...] I am speaking of only certain cases, where you have visitors from other realities.

I am pleased because you are thinking this evening, all of you — that is what I want you to do. [...]

[...] He pats himself upon the back and thinks, “I am growing more spiritual day by day.”

[...] I am not suggesting that you take the time out. I am suggesting that you devote the same amount of time constructively that you are now spending destructively, and that the new exercises take the place of the old automatically followed negative exercises that you have indeed been faithfully following.

[...] I am giving you advice in very practical terms. [...]

Now I am telling you to forget it. [...]

(“I’m not absolving myself, or trying to, but I find it hard to believe that I am the only one involved here.”)

(To Mary and Art): You each generally agree, I am sure, that you sit upon a couch. [...]

[...] I am not blaming you. [...]

[...] Therefore, sometimes I am at a loss to answer your questions. [...]

[...] What so many want is a God who walks down the street and says, “Happy Sunday, I am I, follow me.” [...]

[...] Some Sumari, and as you can all see I am closing Ruburt’s eyes so I am sure no one knows to whom I am speaking, do they Joseph? [...]

You tell me why you did it, I am not used to such goings on. [...]

[...] It would not be nearly as much fun if you did, for I am not reprimanding you. [...]

I am not making any such bargains and you are not in a position to bargain either. [...]

(12:01 AM.) Have Ruburt read through the book he has begun (Personal Reality). [...]

(12:05 AM.)

([Ron:] “To a certain extent, you know, you can always— you can bring my motivations into question, but I have like one overriding feeling and that is—I feel that within my own experience I have seen certain indications just from the things that I might be capable of that I could do this myself if, if when and if, because I have entertained the challenge of developing this ability but I in this situation here, I am confronted with kind of a different type of ramifications. What I am saying is, within this, within this context for me and for persons who would like to contribute to a communally verifiable and acceptable body of knowledge there are certain precise ways in which you could go about...”)

([Tom D:] “I feel that I am helping those kids.”)

[...] I would like to suggest an experiment and I am suggesting it to you to see your reaction, like I couldn’t. I was really undecided whether to suggest it to Jane or to you, but you see like I’m kind of at an impasse because, like, there are a lot of words and a lot of concepts and philosophies bandied about, but when you make a claim you know such as that in as specific and nonconfusable terms such as that it would be very simple to demonstrate, and what I was wondering is, either now or at some time when Jane would agree to it, for instance, I brought some playing cards with me, ten cards...”)

[...] As far as I am concerned, I will not bother. [...]

[...] This last sentence referred I believe to Seth’s entity itself, from inflections given.) In one way I am a whole that is more than the sum of its parts, while I am also a part of more than I am. [...]

I am present in a different manner. I am not speaking as one who has been physically oriented when the other voice comes. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) My communications are dependent upon Seth’s permission as well as Ruburt’s. The material should still be called the Seth material, for I am an aspect of Seth that you did not know, and in the past I helped him deliver material though I did not directly attend sessions. [...]

[...] In one way I am indeed able to make closer contact, but we must take advantage of all of our sources, and so we shall.

(Pause at 7:03.) I do not imagine we will go so long a time between sessions again, and I am speaking therefore to reassure you that I am still present. [...]

[...] I am speaking only to let you know that the way is clear. [...]

I am satisfied with the manner in which you decided to finish our last book. [...]

That is why I am speaking about it this evening. [...]

Next: I am eternally couched and supported by the universe of which I am a part, and I exist whether or not that existence is physically expressed.

1. I am an excellent creature, a valuable part of the universe in which I exist.

Next: By nature I am a good deserving creature, and all of life’s elements and parts are also of good intent.

Now I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak — but know that I am present and approachable.

[...] How am I doing? Am I good or am I bad? [...]

Now I am taking these off gently so you all can see, and tell Ruburt I will not hurt his precious new glasses. [...]

Now what I am saying sounds extremely simple, easy, and it would make very uninteresting prose but the reality that exists within my words is vital and the reality that you can experience if you follow my words is vital. [...]

(Pause at 10:20.) Now in terms of psychology as you understand it, the soul could be considered as a prime identity that is in itself a gestalt of many other individual consciousnesses — an unlimited self that is yet able to express itself in many ways and forms and yet maintain its own identity, its own “I am-ness,” even while it is aware that its I am-ness may be part of another I am-ness. Now I am sure it may seem inconceivable to you, but the fact is that this I am-ness is retained even though it may, figuratively speaking, now merge with and travel through other such energy fields. [...]

[...] And when it should be asked, “Who are you?” it would simply answer, “I am I,” and be answering for you also.

[...] Someday we shall show that face, and this face (Jane pointed to herself) for I am a stubborn gentleman, and in my own time we shall indeed give quite adequate proofs of what I am.

I am indeed one of many but not one of a kind. I am simply the only one of a kind that you know.

[...] I am more interested in that you are like Joseph, always trying to lead me on... I am simple and quiet and peace-loving... [...]

[...] You would have had to say only: I am now in a light trance state, and I will deal with the problem at hand.

(12:05 AM.) Ruburt was correct in his deductions about his own situation. [...]

[...] 12:07 AM.)

(Pause.) I am speaking of the inner laws of nature, that pervade existence. [...] The laws of nature that I am in the process of explaining underlie all realities, then, and form a firm basis for multitudinous kinds of “natures.” [...]

I am not simply saying that man does not live for bread alone. I am saying that if man does not find meaning in life he will not live, bread or no. [...]

Dictation: When I speak of natural law, I am not referring to the scientists’ laws of nature, such as the law of gravity, for example — which is not a law at all, but a manifestation appearing from the viewpoint of a certain level of consciousness as a result of perceptive apparatus. [...]

(Pause, then forcefully:) I am trying to temper my statements here, but your psychology of the past 50 years has helped create insanities by trying to reduce the great individual thrust of life that lies within each person, to a generalized mass of chaotic impulses and chemicals — a mixture, again, of Freudian and Darwinian thought, misapplied.

I am avoiding a direct answer immediately, and talking around the bush for a few moments for my own reasons, but I will not put you off. I am glad that you noticed that my prediction concerning a scandal was no idle one, and I would seriously recommend that you avoid any business transactions or personal transactions of any kind with Mr. Marvin, who I believe owns a schoolhouse which you were looking at this afternoon.

I am certainly not going to make any decisions for you. The house at which you looked today should prove an excellent buy, though I am not necessarily speaking in financial terms. [...]

[...] You both tuned me in, and I found your discussion extremely interesting, though I must say I am rather glad that I do not have to deal with such matters myself any longer.

I am now used to being so greeted by your pussycat, and while it bothers me not one whit, Ruburt does not take kindly to being so treated.

I am idle and curious... [...] I am still not pleased with the hair arrangement; it does not suit me.

I am in fine company. I am honored... [...]

Now, I like you (to Bill), but I do not intrude when I am not invited, and as a rule I do not offer advice when I am not asked...

[...] Because I am your friend, I can help you... [...]

I am deliberately being deliberate. And for the present I am using Ruburt’s voice, making no effort to superimpose my own. [...]

[...] I am also a personality in myself. I am not going to run around in circles, perform tricks, move rings, throw rocks and so forth. [...]

I am not going to keep you too long this evening in any case. [...] They simply extend further, though I am speaking now in your terms rather than my own. [...]

I am sure that you realize these points yourself. [...]

[...] I am not saying that you cannot perceive them, I am saying that you do not perceive them. [...]

Now when I talk to him I am always drawn back to the lilies of the field. [...]

[...] You will understand what I say when the inner self is ready to understand, and I am not speaking in intellectual terms. [...]

[...] I am not frail. [...]

I am not saying that you identify as a male. I am not saying that you have problems in that regard. I am saying that the rebellious streak in your nature seems male to you.

[...] In the spontaneous, normal natural feelings you have, you always question: How far am I going, how much am I giving? [...]

[...] There is a connection here between you when you know so much about hypnosis (“and yet not successful in going into it yourself”—I lost these words—and am paraphrasing Seth here).

I am trying to give you some practical advice. [...]

I am using up many of Ruburt’s resources, I am afraid. Nevertheless I am doing so with good reason. [...]

And speaking of matter, I am aware that Ruburt picked up a book on the nature of matter, which is to the good. You are both expected to keep up intellectually, and I am pleased that you are doing so.

I wanted to go on while I am getting this through, but will take pity on you both.

[...] Oddly enough I found trying to write at a slow pace, matching Jane’s delivery, more difficult than to proceed at the more rapid rate I am accustomed to.
