“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It fits the me of me, the personality most clearly approximating the whole self I am, or am trying to be. [...]

They are what I am, but I will be more.

I am here.

“If you sell yourselves short, you will say, ‘I am a physical organism and I live within the boundaries cast upon me by space and time. I am at the mercy of my environment.’ If you do not sell yourselves short, you will say, ‘I am an individual. [...] I am free of space and time. I am a part of all that is. [...]

[...] I am one with what reality I create. [...]

“But I can’t leave the system because I am in all systems simultaneously.”

“I am speaking in your physical terms … but even in those terms, you are still dealing with other systems.”

I still haven’t gone completely into our fifth dimension discussion, but I am rounding out our imaginary structural universe in such a way that the fifth dimension material will fit in almost effortlessly when the time comes. [...] I will go along with it as far as I can and still achieve the best results, that is, it may tire you in ways that I am not aware of, though I doubt it. [...]

What I am trying to say is that there are apparent rules of cause and effect, but the same causes do not always give the same effects. [...]

[...] I am very pleased with your progress this evening so far.

I am quite sure, I know for a fact, that beings from other planes have appeared on your plane, sometimes on purpose and sometimes completely by accident. [...]

I am working on some other material just now that you will be given (pause), 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. [...]

This is not to say that other dimensions do not exist of which I am ignorant. [...]

[...] I am not saying that you should never organize those contents. I am saying that you must become aware of your own structures. [...]

[...] You are looking for the author of Seagull, and I tell you I am looking at him. [...] But I am looking at all that is visible of the author of Seagull, and you should know him best of all. [...]

For example, here is a seemingly very innocent core belief: “I am a responsible parent.”

(“Ruburt already has a head start on this, so I am not spoiling his fun. [...]

[...] As I am joined in a psychic merger with you now, and am still myself, and you yourself.

Now, I am here in this room. I am also in another place in another time. [...]

[...] As I am sure you know, your father is not unhappy. [...]

[...] But I speak through Ruburt, and Ruburt is himself and I am myself, yet without your support of Ruburt I could not speak. [...]

[...] I am myself. I am not Ruburt. [...] I am myself … You are death and you are life … Ruburt can do many things that surprise me — that I did not do in my past, for remember that fresh creativity emerges from the past also, as in [Ruburt’s novel] Oversoul Seven. [...]

[...] In his terms I am a future self, with far greater knowledge, yet he uses that knowledge to alter his present reality; and when I was Ruburt I did not have that knowledge. You can say then that I am altering my own past, but Ruburt’s present experience also changes my present experience — and so there is an unending interchange.⁵

(Finally, as we waited for Seth to return, Jane said: “Now I am confused — I can get material on three different subjects….” [...]

(10:52.) Give us a moment … In certain terms, for instance, I am a future of Ruburt, but the “past” is always freshly creative. [...]

I am not saying that you should not have regular working hours. I am saying that you should change your beliefs concerning the nature of time and creativity—and for Ruburt, time, creativity, responsibility, and work. [...]

(10:12.) What I am saying, again, is quite apart from your having regular working hours, but you would do far better to choose another word than “work.” [...]

[...] Even I am more realistic than that!

[...] I am not putting down the species in any way, yet it is true to say that (pause) people who are beyond their time, or ahead of it, cannot expect most people to accept their ideas so readily.

[...] It is because I hope for many years of such sessions that I am not overly concerned with the length of any particular group of sessions.

[...] You have been more serious this evening than I usually am, and that is saying a lot.

(December 3, Thursday, 11:35 AM: Good state of lightness achieved.

(December 4, Friday, 11:30 AM: Impression that someone “drifted up” and kissed me on the check. [...]

I am going to end the session somewhat earlier, as I am initiating you into new material.

[...] And unless I am forced to do so, I do not like to water down information to make it more palatable.

[...] I am referring here of course to all individuals.

[...] As always I dislike leaving, but I am extremely pleased with tonight’s material.

[...] I am not going to keep you until two o’clock in your morning. [...] of that I am sure. [...]

(At this point, Tom said, “ I am in good shape tonight, Seth, I’m ready.”)

[...] I guess the question I’m asking is: am I really more interested in the certain possibilities of status, and that would not be the positive way of looking at things... [...]

Now I am going to leave you. [...]

[...] I am not going to keep you until two o’clock in your morning. [...] But you would not bless me the following morning—of that I am sure. [...]

(At this point, Theodore said; “I am in good shape tonight, Seth, I’m ready.”)

([Theodore: ]“But the point is—I guess the question I’m asking is: Am I really more interested in the certain possibilities of status, and that would not be the positive way of looking at things—or should I be seeing that man within a framework of, just as we were talking about health as just being a stepping stone, should I be seeing this man with a viewpoint towards what this can mean for helping other people be part of a constructive arrangement?”)

Now I am going to leave you. [...]

[...] You could get lost in the life and death of a molecule under such conditions, and I am speaking in literal terms.

[...] I am comparing now the drug and drugless experiences at their best.

I am not denying that the drug experience can be excellent, however. [...]

[...] I am not speaking now you see necessarily of projections, though these may occur. [...]

Now I am going to do something here if you want to do it, and you must be brave and adventurous, and I am sure that you all are (much laughter). [...] Therefore, let me know what you are, and let me become a part of all that I am. [...]

[...] And first of all, to show you what a polite host I am, I bid our evening guests welcome, and I do not mean to exclude you. [...]

I am indeed pleased to hear that I am a cool head.

He understands what Ruburt has told him, and I am certain that he will explain it well to you. [...]

You have the intelligence and the intuition to realize that what I am telling you is for your own good. [...]

[...] Ferd is not to be the family fortune teller, you see, and as my dear friends Ruburt and Joseph will tell you, I am hardly the grand chief fortune teller for them.

[...] We are struggling past a large factory, when all at once I am sitting with Jane as Seth again, watching the snow dream as if it were a movie. [...] Suddenly I feel the shell of my physical body for what it is — my own creation — and am aware of how much more I am. [...]

Using a series of mental exercises explained to me by Seth, I do step sideways — it is as though I am squeezing between two bars, and I find myself back in the bedroom with my father there, again, complaining. [...] At once I am propelled into another, similar scene.

Suddenly I am yanked away from this scene, and Carl [Sue’s husband] and I are sitting in a large room with Jane as Seth. [...]

[...] He tells me that I am to do something else and gives me a long, friendly lecture. [...]

You will notice I am sure that the brief breaks are getting briefer in duration; and yet I am letting you break more often but for shorter periods. [...]

[...] No one, I am sure, denies the existence of air because ordinarily you do not see it. [...]

[...] But he says “I will at any moment believe only what I can see, and though I am sure that I saw more at one time, now I can see nothing and so I have no body, since I cannot see it.”

[...] The camouflage pattern world is formed by the mind, and I am using this now in its true term as a part of the inner world. [...]

[...] I am speaking of the universe in your terms, as even being all that your telescopes can pick up. [...] I am speaking of the stars and planets you see in your sky, but not of the invisible systems that may exist simultaneously with them.

I am not worried that I am going to disturb the balance that exists, far from it. [...]

[...] I am certainly not going into the God concept at this time, though you can be certain that I will cover it thoroughly, since it is itself an idea camouflage covering something much different.

[...] You are familiar I am sure with the old religious Christian dictum that God always was and always will be, and this is considered a religious mystery. [...]

(The following dream and experience is taken from Jane’s notebook; it concerns her results obtained after she deliberately lay down from 8 to 9:30 AM, Monday, June 1, to attempt projection. [...]

(I am not sure of some of these events as far as sequence goes, and also believe I forgot some of the experience itself. [...]

[...] I am sitting in the bathroom when I realize this. [...]

[...] I am not satisfied with the leap, so move “backward through the air” to my original spot, and do the whole thing over. [...]

(Looking at me:) I am speaking so directly as if our friend were here, because the emotional rapport is stronger, and if you will forgive me Joseph, when I look at you, you see, I am seeing our friend instead.

[...] I am a teacher. [...] They are also better equipped with certain techniques in their field, as I am equipped in my own.

Now as you know from certain signs, I am quite prepared to go on for some time, giving you literally whatever information I can concerning Ruburt’s condition, or your friend’s, but I realize the hour is late and your fingers tired. [...] I have done, and am doing, the very best that I can, out of love for your friend.

[...] I am not saying that you will not have what you want, again, but as long as you hold the wish as a condition of existence you will not.
