“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Natalie.) Now, when I am looking at someone in particular, you do know that I am looking at you and you know to what I am referring. [...]

[...] If I am not solemn, and I am supposed to be dead, then why do you have such long faces? [...]

I am going to close our session—far be it from me to keep you from your sleep! [...] I work while I am sleeping, why should you not? [...]

Now, I am glad that now I understand what you expect, and in our next class you will beat your chest. [...]

[...] What you see, therefore, is a representation of what I am. I am not Ruburt. I am myself. [...]

What you do not realize is that in other ways that you may not understand I am also graded on your progress and I am not doing very well on you. [...]

I am still here. I am just not speaking or at least I was not. [...]

I am being maligned. [...]

If you have questions, I shall answer them but all of this is meant to show you that reality is more than you thought reality to be… I am not here as the host of a party. I am not here for your amusement or pleasure. I am here for your education and training.

[...] I am not certain here. [...] I am not usually so severe but all of you in the room are talented and your responsibility is directly in proportion to your talent and therefore you cannot afford self-pity or complacency or regret.

[...] I am a stranger to you but you are not strangers to me, and so you see, I have the advantage, and I always take advantage of my advantages.

[...] I am an old man. [...]

I will end the session now, and you cannot say that I am unsympathetic in any way. I am not necessarily disturbed, either, at the brief session. [...]

[...] You cannot say that I am rigid, since I will try to take your circumstances into consideration.

[...] And I am speaking now of course of the data that is given to the organism in its affiliation with camouflage environment. [...]

What I am actually giving you this evening is an outline for our next session, since you are not up to par this evening. [...]

[...] 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, you will say, I am an individual. [...] I am free of space and time. I am part of the good mind. I am more than I know that I am, and there is no place within me that creativity does not exist. [...]

I am no beady-eyed spirit. I am no granddaddy longlegs of the spirit world. [...]

[...] I am not telling you that you should forget your responsibilities in physical life. I am telling you that the origin and ability and power and identity has its origins deep within the personality, and that these origins have little to do with the waking self of which you are all so familiar.

[...] The voice which we must necessarily use it unfortunately, devoid now of humor, and yet I am indeed a man of humor. [...]

FEBRUARY 4, 1974 12:02 AM

[...] Begin at 12:02 AM.)

[...] Now, I am making some suggestions, that, again, I expect will be followed. [...]

[...] 12:16 AM.)

[...] I am also a friend. In many ways I am the same friend. Still, only a small portion of what I am speaks to you now. (Pause.) Other portions of me are concerned elsewhere, for I am aware of my own existence in other dimensions, and keep track of them, and direct my many selves. [...]

Seth is what I am, and yet I am more than Seth is. [...]

(Voice still gentle and lilting.) I look back on you as the selves from which I sprang, and yet I am more than the sum of what you will be when you are finished with the other dimensions and times that I have known. [...] Yet had you not been able to contact me I would not be what I am.

I, who am the source (pause), sent a portion of myself, an independent portion, to you. [...]

Now as you know, I am a teacher, and interested in instruction. I am not a doctor. [...] Therefore I am concerned with, and I emphasize, the importance of inner knowledge, and see physical symptoms for what they are—a reflection of an inner reality.

[...] I am aware of his work. [...]

However, the doctor of whom I am speaking also has an excellent bedside manner, so to speak (humorous and slow) and he usually communicates with other levels of the personality that are unknown to the ego. [...]

[...] I am trying to put this in simple terms. [...]

I am however, again, automatically a part of the message that I bring to you. At times, for various reasons, I am here more completely than in other sessions. [...]

For again, the medium is the message in the spacious present, and when- ever the time for the program arrives I am here in your present, regardless of where I am in what you would term my present.

You know the nature of personality now to some degree, and I am always to some degree present at your sessions. [...]

[...] (Pause.) I need not be entirely focused within your dimension in other words, but I am focused sufficiently to meet our appointments.

[...] I am not telling you this, as Ruburt would say, to put you down. [...] I just want you to realize that I am intelligent enough to know what you are doing also. [...]

Because I knew why you had come here, and I knew your wife would come here also, and I am not saying there is no free will. I am simply making a statement that is in the realm of probabilities. [...]

[...] I am not Scheherazade nor am I a handy father image or a handy granddaddy image. [...]

([Florence:] “Because I am afraid to know.”)

[...] I am somewhat sly... I am used to getting around corners. [...] I am used to opening eggs without cracking them.

I have said this often, but I meet you for the first time: I am indeed no misty-eyed ghostly spirit, materializing in the middle of the night. I am simply an intelligent personality no longer bound by your physical laws. [...]

I am very happy that I have been allowed to speak directly to you. [...] I will be more than happy to work for our common goal when I am dealing with a personality who is not stupid, who is open-minded.

[...] like yourself, I am independent. [...] I am an egghead, but I do not need a hammer to be cracked.

[...] You think: “I am frank, I am earthy, I am one of the common stock; I do not understand this high verbalized chatter. Those that have been to school understand these things, but I am left out. [...]

Now that is one level, and on another level you think, “I am of the earth and strong and vital, and those who rely upon such thin, high, intellectual matter do not know what they are talking about. I can be brutal in my honesty but at least I am honest and I do not play with words.” [...] I am onto you. [...]

[...] I think that is a collegiate term, and that is why I am looking at you (Kris). It shows I am trying to relate. [...]

(After break, to Bette.) Now for a cousin of Richelieu in the 18th-century France you put up some struggle pretending that you do not understand what you like to think of as intellectual discussions, and you make a great fight against what you like to think of as verbalization, and you pretend to yourself that you do not understand what I am saying when I am saying it. [...]

I am talking first of all of Bette and Joel, then I am speaking of you and Sue and then I am speaking of you and Joel. [...] Now I am not going in depth, I am merely bringing to the surface feelings of which I know, of which you may or may not be aware, but in which you are involved. [...]

Now I am sure you recall the evening that we asked for you to tell a secret. Now, tonight I am not going to ask you for a secret but I am going to ask you to tell why you did not tell the secrets that you glossed over. [...]

Everyone here knows, each of you know, what I am up to by now, and you know when I am ready to begin to tell you. [...]

Now, I have a few more suggestions that I am sure you will all be very excited about and I do, indeed, have some issues planned for you and so tonight I have another question. [...]

I have given you an outline that I am sure you can follow. [...] I am being tricky here.

[...] At 9:25 she abruptly told me that she’d just “received” the title of a book I am to write: Through My Eyes. [...]

I am indeed. [...]

Now: This book will be a good advertisement for the later book that I will do — and if you insert what I have told you in the book I am doing now, people will already begin to look forward to your book.

I am aware of you in many ways through Ruburt’s nervous system. I am aware of you as human forms and physical entities. Through him I am aware of you as material three-dimensional forms. [...]

[...] I am indeed with you rather strongly this evening. (Pause.) I am of course fully aware, already, that greater energy is available, and we shall use it well.

[...] (Bill Gallagher, Peggy’s husband, is on a business trip to New York City.) I am very pleased, and I am with you, again, vividly this evening. [...]

It has been some while and I am delighted to have you here.

JULY 20, 1969 11:30 AM SUNDAY

(After retiring at about 1 AM on July 20, 1969, on Sunday morning, after Jane & I had been to the Steak Shop for a few drinks...

(Actually my concern was over some kind of accident to Armstrong after he & Aldrin had left the lunar module or landing craft—this I believe is scheduled for 2:17 AM Monday, according to [this morning’s] Sunday paper.

(I read this statement at 11:40 AM, Sunday, July 20th, though Rob told me about his experience earlier this morning. [...]

[...] Now I am speaking comparatively and am not giving you times and dates. [...]

[...] You have tried to say, “I am here solidly. [...] I weigh so much, I am here.” [...]

Now, this is a quiet evening and I am pleased with our small gathering. [...]

[...] I am speaking to you now since you have set yourself (Brad) some problems. [...]

Now, (in a quieter voice) I am here this evening merely to tell you that I am here. I am not here to do wonders. I am here to tell you that I have survived physical death, and that you have survived physical death time and time again. [...]

[...] This evening however I am concerned with your education, and when I am concerned with your education I am apt to be rather dry.

I have been biding my time, seeking for the most auspicious moment in which to speak to you, and to announce my presence—for I am here in these classes, as indeed Ruburt knows that I am.

And I am aware of many things that you think and do not say. [...]

Now I am going to say good evening shortly but remember you call this your universe and your reality and it is indeed, for you form it, and yet within you is also the knowledge of other great experiments that are being tried. And other probable systems are aware of the experiments that you are trying, and in your terms and I am speaking now in your terms only which to some extent means that I am hedging the fence, other civilizations have gone your route, some have failed. [...]

[...] Now I have been on television and now I am to be on radio and I am to be on the movie screen and I must remember to be decorous and quiet. [...]

(To Joel) If you cannot follow where I am then you have trouble following where you are and when you find out where you are you will not need to ask where I am. [...]

I do it for several reasons because that is the way I am, in the guise that I choose to use in my communication and also to get everyone over the idea that so-called spirits must be sweet-faced, quiet, sober and dignified. [...]

Now I am not going to stay with you too long since I have put my friend Ruburt through the ropes this week. [...] My voice may not be melodious but I am of a sweet disposition. [...]

[...] I am moving to California in June and now trying to get an apartment. [...] I am at present at odds with my aunt, a female relative, and I know I should be handling this situation better. [...]

[...] I am indeed myself as usual however in excellent spirits and if Ruburt were not restraining me then you would not have to listen so hard to hear what I say. [...]
