“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Today at 9.40 AM a telegram from Anne Healy informed me that Blanche Price died early today. [...] I’ve forgotten some of it, and am not sure of some of the early sequence.

[...] Now, I would play a Santa Claus for you when I am not playing a Scrooge because I want you to work harder. [...]

[...] I wanted you to know that I was here, but I also wanted you to know that I am keeping an eye out for your experiments in class and when you are not in class sometimes. [...]

[...] I am on to your other question, however, because it is more pertinent. [...]

([Lex:] “As we have nothing to really tangibly worry about on the ironic level from the past, then, so too, am I correct then that we don’t have to fear demons?”)

[...] I am delighted that you made the progress, and I will not say anything else. [...]

[...] I am very afraid to tell you that I have forgotten what I considered secrets through the lives that I have lived. [...]

Now some of this is, indeed, a translation or, again, you would be speaking with Seth II, yet what I am continues to exist. [...]

(To Gert.) I want you to work on your own because your favorite propensity is to rely upon authority and I am quite sure that you understand this. [...]

In your terms, and in your terms only, I could be referred to, and I told Ruburt this, as a sixth self of his in your future but this is only in your terms of reference and to get the idea across for he will not become what I am. That, you see, is impossible because I am myself and so verbally there are certain answers that cannot be given but must be intuitively understood. [...]

I am not cautious, I am simply realistic and when you understand the nature of reality then you realize that predictions of future events are basically meaningless. [...]

Now, I am speaking to our friend over here (to Arnold Pearson, a scientist,) because he may, perhaps, have a dim comprehension of what I am trying to explain, because of his background, that many of you may not have. [...]

[...] And if this were not the case, then I would not be speaking here for I am not Ruburt’s past self. [...]

[...] There seems no doubt that when the voice attains a certain…pitch or intensity—something clicks and “I” am simply out of it. [...] While this is happening I am in no condition to critically analyze my own state of consciousness. [...]

[...] Had Rob asked questions about the room, or had someone asked again about the young man’s mother’s maiden name [asked earlier] I am certain that Seth could have given the information—that “I” would have gone out after it while he spoke and controlled the mechanism. [...]

[...] Yet it is not Seth’s taking over that concerns me for when he does take over I am not afraid at all. [...]

[...] I exist as I am while my reincarnational lives — in your terms — still exist. Yet now I am not concerned with them, but turn my concentration into other areas of activity.

[...] It is the same as a child saying: “I am going to grow up, but I am never going to change the ideas that I have now.” [...]

[...] Let the child be—I am certain she is a delightful child. I have not spoken to her—I am not good at speaking to children. [...]

The whole purpose of what I am trying to teach is to allow yourself inner freedom to develop. [...]

(12:32 AM.) I have a few beginning, small but pertinent remarks to make. [...] I am pointing out here a few considerations—not important in themselves, but for what they represent.

[...] 12:50 AM.)

I am saying that you, and you, every individual, is in control of their own destiny. [...]

[...] I am interested in what you should know, and what you should know has little to do with names and dates.

[...] You are not to look backward, but forward for the very fulfillment of your own abilities—and I am speaking to you both—will come as a direct result of your acquaintanceship with your son.

Again, in one night’s session I am giving you what I believe is the most important information, whether or not you can check it out...

[...] I am not a father image of Ruburt’s, nor am I the male figure that lurks in the back of the female mind. [...] I am simply an energy essence personality, no longer materialized in physical form.

[...] It is an energy essence personality, even as I am. The only difference is that I am not materialized within physical matter. [...]

“I am speaking in your terms now, and this should be understood, as I am simplifying conditions considerably. [...]

[...] Again, I am not speaking symbolically, and I realize that I am leaving myself open to strong criticisms that certainly cannot be answered in this one evening.

[...] I am somewhat unsure of this, and will have to wait for Seth’s explanation. [...] It took me at least a day to recall what I am now putting down.

I am still concerned with our discussion on matter, and will be for some time.

I am rather surprised that this much came through, but it should at least clear the reasons for the basic conflict for you.

[...] Although I am not suggesting a return to this for various reasons.

I am again, as I have said often, an energy personality essence, which means quite simply that I am a personality who does not now operate within the physical reality. [...]

First of all, though you did not ask, I am not the subconscious of our friend Ruburt, or as you call him, Jane.

[...] I am, as I have often told our friends, an educator. [...]

I have lived in physical terms within your three-dimensional universe, and I am aware of that universe. [...]

I am not speaking of greatness in terms of fame, or in terms of usually understood artistic or intellectual abilities alone, but also of people whose lives have the capacity for great emotional content. I am speaking also of other natural abilities — that of dream communication, the conscious utilization of dreams and creativity in daily life. [...]

[...] It invites attack, though I am not pleased at all with the connotations of the word “attack.” I am trying to use words familiar to you to start.

[...] Nor am I speaking of an enforced cooperation — the result of “instinct” that somehow arranges the social habits of the animals; for their habits are indeed social and cooperative.

[...] Yet I am saying that man has free will within the framework of his existence, and that all other species do also within the frameworks of their existences (underlined).

[...] You can open the door and I am indeed sure that you will do so. I am also sure that a little talk like this will help you do so quicker. [...]

[...] I am glad at least to see some smiles and broad ones, and laughter. [...]

[...] For I am also some taskmaster, but you must be your own taskmasters also. [...]

If a dark angry mongrel follows you down the street and you know it and you say to yourself, “It is a fine day and I am alone and there is no dog behind me,” and it yaps at your feet and you say, “It is a lovely day and no dog yaps at my feet,” and it growls at your ankles and you run as fast as you can saying all the time, “Nothing chases me,” and you dare not look back; then in your mind the dog springs from a dog to a tiger, to an unnamable terror. [...]

MAY 2, 1982 11:12 AM SUNDAY

[...] “I don’t know what to talk about,” she said at 11:05 AM, “now that you’re here. [...]

(11:12 AM.) Last night (Jane said) I felt great when Robbie kissed me, and actually I slept quite well, both in my chair and bed. [...]

I guess I thought that I’d keep up some level of communication if I talked as I am now, and Robbie took the words down. [...]

(12:02 AM.) A few notes for him (Ruburt) then.... [...]

[...] 12:06 AM. [...]

The closed is stubborn, but I am strong. [...]

She kneels to the closed, but I am awed. [...]

“I am not such a philosopher that I can compare my own thoughts and works with those of the noted professionals of whom [your correspondent writes]. I think I am — if you will forgive me — in my own way more earthy than those other gentlemen.

“I am — again in my way — more rambunctious and playful. [...] I consider myself an exuberant psychological explorer, finding myself, at my own request, happily set adrift among universes, able to shout with a loud hearty voice from the hypothetical shore of one to another, news of what I have found and am still finding.”

[...] 7/11, 1:30 AM: While drowsing before going to sleep, I saw briefly a woman of about 40, who sat curled up within the left third of a rectangular white screen. [...]

I am glad that at least Ruburt seems merry, since Philip is obviously in such low inner spirits.

[...] I am indeed no businessman as such, and yet I know that true value speaks for itself, as his value to the company is on record.

I am, first, out of the splendid goodness of my heart, going to make a short suggestion. [...]

[...] I am, instead, given a complete product in Seth’s book — an excellent one — for which I am, of course, exceedingly grateful.

I am working on some other material just now that you will be given, and so you must bear with me for a few moments. [...]

My message to the reader will be: “Basically, you are no more of a physical personality than I am, and in telling you of my reality I tell you of your own.”

[...] I am not giving a fuller outline, for I do not want Ruburt to anticipate me. [...]
