“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Now in my level of existence I am simply aware of the fact, strange as it may seem, that I am not my consciousness. [...]

[...] I must emphasize that I am not saying that the soul or entity is a computer, but only asking you to look at the matter in this light in order to make several points clear.

[...] In one way, I translate what I am into an event that you can understand to some extent. [...]

Now some of you who read this book will immediately and intuitively grasp what I am saying, for you will have already suspected that you are viewing experience through highly distorted, though colorful, figurative lenses. [...]

[...] I am trying to tell him about the college position, but for the moment I am unable to. [...]

[...] I am speaking of course generally, and of anticipatory fear, not the fear, quite healthy, with which a man faces a ferocious beast.

[...] I am going into this as I go into your own psychological circumstances when I feel it advisable.

[...] An October 6 incident important, perhaps 1937, though I am not certain. [...]

“What am I?” is one question. Then comes the wonder—“What am I that I can even ask such a question?” And the answer to the second question answers the first. [...]

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.) Your paintings are your own, and I am no artist. [...]

(At this moment I then consciously knew what my prophet was saying in the painting; the words came clearly to mind: “My God, my God, what am I?” I was tempted to speak them aloud next chance I had, but did not. [...]

“What am I,” question three, “who can conceive of a painting in which the first question is asked?” The three questions automatically show the added dimensions of the questioner, and the various stages through which the original question can develop. [...]

[...] Oddly enough, I am sure that my work will end up very successful, both as art and in the marketplace. So I can safely say that in my own way I am trying very hard to make a “success” of my work. [...]

[...] I am speaking now of habitual ways of handling conscious angry thoughts. [...]

(Therefore I will make a harder effort to do both my art and to make it available to others and to get money with it, to broaden its communicative necessities—this I am perfectly willing to do once I understand its necessity. [...]

[...] I am free of such burdens. [...]

“I am free to stand or kneel, to run expectantly forward, for there is nothing ahead of me that I need fear, and the way ahead of me is clear and open. I am free to express my joy, for from it springs my life. I am free to bend. I am free to move easily and well, for I am composed of motion, and I move with the motion of my thoughts, which are free and open.”

(To Ron) I expect you to release those portions of your personality, and I am looking where you think I am looking. [...]

[...] And I am giving you the impetus. [...]

[...] Now you need not close your eyes but if you listen to your own inner voice, and if you allow yourself the freedom, and if you understand the nature of probabilities, then as I speak and as you listen you can indeed, to some extent, perceive the other reality, the specific reality of which I am speaking in which you also exist as a group. [...]

[...] The abilities that you show are quite your own, and I would like to see you bring them to the surface and use them but then I am certain that you will do so. [...]

[...] This is the tail end of the session and I am not above pulling your tail. I am reluctant as always to leave you.

[...] I am familiar with the change when I visit you, and Ruburt, who is not aware consciously of which word will follow another, did not know the intention behind the greeting. [...]

[...] The falling tree incident is what I am referring to, and often there is such a completed circle when the outer senses will return you to inner data.

[...] I am not sure of your meaning of the word fluent in that particular context.

(For while approaching the end of the exercise routine I am quite aware that I will be in an extremely relaxed mood, and that as I lay resting I can count on drifting into a state where dreams reveal themselves. [...] My point is that I am usually aware that such passages are transpiring as I lay quietly; I am not asleep yet some of the material seems to be dreams. [...]

[...] I am pleased with the outline that Ruburt prepared for another book. [...]

I am still waiting for the day when you become aware of your own dreams while you are awake, and conscious at the same time, fully, of your physical environment, and able to operate normally at the same time in the physical universe.

You might also check the papers on your floor, because I am only certain of the low impression and the papers. [...]

(With much humor and irony:) What comic book reader wants to bother with a Clark Kent who, before his transformation, distracts the reader with such beside-the-point questions as “What am I doing? [...] At what point am I me? [...]

[...] In any of these discussions, however, remember I am specifying certain important points, for there are, again, many realities. [...]

[...] They are between dependence and independence, at the level of which I am speaking.

At the same time I work with a level of Ruburt’s personality that is his, that to some extent uses his knowledge of the world and its people, but I am far freer in my overall understanding and comprehension of people. [...]

[...] By this I mean that I am not restricted to a time sequence. [...]

[...] However I am speaking of psychological and psychic atmospheres, and this area is sufficiently distant from Ruburt’s physically oriented self so that the communications can be relatively understood.

[...] I am not saying that the tree only appears to be different. [...]

So if you want to know what my environment is like, you will have to understand what I am. [...]

I may or may not return, according to those rhythms of which I have spoken—but again, I am present whether or not I am speaking. [...]

[...] Frank Longwell visited at 11:30 AM, while I ate lunch. [...]

[...] She now gets Darvoset and aspirin—nothing else—at about 3:30 AM and 6:30 AM. [...]

I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak—yet know that I am present nevertheless, and approachable. [...]

[...] Am to meet her in her office Friday at 2:30 PM. [...]

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

(Jane, what am I going to get you for Christmas?

[...] I am speaking to you personally because you still do not draw upon it as freely as you can. [...] You feel it in your work when you are doing well, and that is the feeling I am speaking of.

I am speaking beside that, of your own work. [...]

(Humorously:) I am not the one who needs to comment on it—

[...] Jane is 42, I am 52.

[...] I am not suggesting that he run full steam ahead at every moment. I am suggesting that he use the full force of his available energy for every task at hand. [...]

[...] I am speaking now of his ideal performance. [...]

[...] I am not speaking of nervous, erratic or undisciplined action of course.

[...] I am using the current idea simply to explain. [...]

[...] And as you know, in another layer of reality, this is the dream state, and in that level of reality I am telling you to remember your dreams, and I have already told you that this evening you will have a class dream session, and this is it. And in this level of reality, I am telling you that you will have a class dream session this evening, and in that other level of reality, you will remember. [...]

([Phil:] “Seth, then is Igor an actual separate personality or am I just expressing what I pick up and relating that energy?”)

I am saying in this physical reality you look about you en masse and you see a variety of objects upon which you all agree. [...]

Now, I am going to let you all take a break. [...]

I am not saying that lesbianism and homosexuality are merely stages leading to heterosexuality. I am saying that lesbianism, homosexuality, and heterosexuality are valid expressions of man’s bisexual nature.

(Slowly at 10:54:) I am also stressing the fact that love and sexuality are not necessarily the same thing. [...] Because of the connotations of the word “sex,” however, it may seem to some of you that I am advocating a promiscuous sexual relationship with “no holes barred” (smile). [...]

Instead, I am saying that deeper bonds of biological and spiritual love lie at the basis of all personal and cultural relationships, a love that transcends your ideas of sexuality. [...]

Now I am speaking simply, for I am speaking of a circle as you understand it in three-dimensional terms, but there are more depths and dimensions to a circle than you can imagine when you picture, say, a globe; and so of course in this analogy identity has other dimensions that do not appear.

[...] Now, I am part of another triangle still, that is within this circle, and through my contacts with this other triangle there are abilities, perceptions, insights, talents available to you that you have barely begun to tap.

The request will be sprung upon him, and that is why I am telling you in advance, to prepare him. [...]

[...] Now I am after something here, difficult to pinpoint, and will give you what clues I can. [...]

[...] In the greater realm of activity—I am trying to put this simply—a poor marriage, for example, is on the same level as a chronic but not life-threatening disease. [...]

[...] But I am trying to show that all ills are not necessarily physical ones. [...]

I am going to end our session. [...]

[...] I am aware of your questions. [...]
