“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now over here we have great energy, and because I am aware of your conversations, strong power that is being withheld out of caution and fear. [...]

Now I am speaking, in your terms, for I understand the way that you feel. [...]

(To Ron L.) I am not looking for questions, but you have been the emotional mother that you are now trying to forget, and you have been swept by those emotions that you are now afraid to release, and you have felt them as a river and have been afraid of where they would lead you. [...]

[...] It is not always appreciated, but I can make a lovelier (word lost)  and, as my close friends here know, it is also a very simple demonstration to show you that I am not a spooky old spirit at all. [...]

[...] I am simply giving you the laws in the simplest way.

[...] There is instead, truly, an infinite amount of energy, and of this I am certain. [...]

[...] Nevertheless I am tying many subjects together for your edification.

[...] By all means take your break, and if it seems that I am shoving a lot at you this evening, it is only because I want to make the best of the time that we have.

[...] Now I am not going to interrupt until you are all finished but I could not keep out of that one. [...] I simply wanted you to know that I was here and that I am listening. And I am glad to see that everyone remembered to bless our friend, Edgar. [...]

[...] I am not referring now simply to probable selves. I am referring to what you may call freewheeling energy that you release filled with your own intent and emotional coloration which has a reality in other spheres beside your own. [...]

Now I am going to ask you once again to close your eyes to follow me to the best of your ability. [...]

Now Ruburt makes contact with me, but having made contact I am like some vital ever growing field that you finally reach. [...] I have told you often that I am no spooky guide that speaks in the night. I am myself, but I am also the speechless portion of your own selves. I am heights that you have reached and do not know that you have reached. I am your own heartbeat. I do have my own individuality yet this in no way means that there is not a meeting ground between what I am and what you are. [...]

[...] But as far as thinking that I could learn any more by listening to him than I could from coming here, or just listening to myself  because if Joel is capable of doing this, so am I. If he can look in, so can I.”

[...] Am I right?”

Now, I hope when this is recorded you will read these statements simply several times for I am saying this as clearly as I can. [...]

[...] I am no exception, even though I am here in a less conventional form. [...] I am sincerely interested in all of your ideas—so that I can correct them. [...]

I am very glad that we are here together, and if I cannot be merry, it is only because when I am merry I speak too loudly, and I embarrass my hosts.

[...] I am always glad to see our Jesuit, and we shall certainly discuss the God concept for him, tonight or during another session.

I am particularly concerned however with carrying our discussion further concerning dream realities.

[...] And now Joseph you will see, I am sure, in which direction I am leading you. [...]

[...] I am in no way responsible for these distortions.

[...] Again this is beyond my control, in these cases you simply do not understand what I am trying to say. [...]

[...] Not that I am comparing myself with a symphony, far from it. [...]

[...] Ruburt is not particularly pleased with what he knows I am about to say, but I am not held by the same social rules that hold him in this particular manner, and I know Philip (Seth’s entity name for John Bradley) perhaps better than he does.

[...] I am speaking now, you understand, of the parents of Philip's wife.

[...] I am not certain as to what this refers.

[...] I am rather an old man to be speaking in such terms. [...]

[...] As Ruburt said earlier, I am not telling you you can have a heaven upon earth. [...] And I am not talking about problems and challenges being the same thing. I am speaking of initiative, and desire and accomplishment. [...] That is what I am speaking of. [...]

I am dead, in your terms. And when this City is physically constructed, you will be as dead or as alive as I am.

[...] Now I am indeed a strange animal to go into any farmer’s barnyard. [...] And yet I am not all that strange to any of them. [...]

[...] And when I say to each of you, classes or no, that your lives be lives of quality, of beauty and of truth, I am not about to define beauty or truth for you. [...]

I am at the hub of your group and draw you together. [...]

[...] I am behind you in the dark and I give you a push when it is needed—not a hard push—a nudge. [...]

[...] Now I am a big wind playfully passing by. [...]

[...] Now, consciously you will not understand what I am telling you but unconsciously you will. [...]

Now, you each generally agree, I am sure, that you sit upon a couch. [...]

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

[...] You simply do not realize what you are now, and as I’ve said before, when you ask me questions about life after death, you automatically transpose, if you will all forgive me, this lack of knowledge into the next realm and 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.” [...]

(12:07 AM.) We are about ready to end the session after a few remarks.

[...] The actual physical suggestions I am giving—the walk and exercises—are necessary reinforcements. [...]

[...] 12:19 AM.)

(At 6:00 AM Jane woke me to say that she was in the grip of an extremely painful stiff neck. [...]

I myself am in fine form, and did have a very good session in mind. [...]

I am extremely sorry that Ruburt feels so badly, and I will do what I can to help. [...]

[...] And to Ruburt, I am sorry for the regrettable circumstances that make him unable to hold a session. [...]

I am not telling you to gush out a steady stream of positive suggestions, whether or not they bear any relation to the situation at hand.

I am saying that it is far better to look on the most hoped-for solution to any situation, and to voice that attitude rather than to expect the poorest outcome, or express the most dire of attitudes. [...]

[...] I am saying, therefore that even insects have an esthetic sense, and again, that each creature, and each plant, or natural entity, has its own sense of value fulfillment, seeking the greatest possible fulfillment and extension of its own innate abilities.

In this discussion, I am not merely speaking in terms of exterior accomplishments, or goals, though these are important. [...]

I am speaking in highly practical terms. [...]

There is a resistance here on your part, a resistance to the kind of material that I am giving you this evening. [...]

It goes without saying that a full-time job would better the financial situation, but this is not the sort of thing to which I am referring. [...]

I am going to end the session directly for this reason. [...]

[...] Jimmy usually closes after 1 AM; by NY law he cannot serve drinks after 1 AM. [...] Shortly after 1 AM he took a waitress to her home in his Jeep. [...]

I am myself rather dusty this evening, since I am very relaxed, and indeed come with a certain smug satisfaction in having survived one hundred sessions; and you may feel a smug satisfaction also.

[...] I regret that I am unable to give the reader a page number for the previous answer. I am making my own version of an index for the material, and have not yet covered that particular session.

[...] Usually they take place just after we retire, when I am in a relaxed and drowsy state.

[...] As I said before, even when I am not speaking I am present in certain ways during the afternoon and early evening. [...]

[...] She’s only been taking Darvoset at about 5:30 AM, and before she goes down to hydro later in the morning—distinct improvements, I told her. [...]

[...] “What am I doing, Bob? [...]

[...] “What am I doing, Bob?”

[...] And if all of you will listen, in your own way, you can apply what I am about to say to yourselves though for right now I am addressing these two (Sue and Juanita). [...]

Now each of you, in your own way, hide certain groupings of feelings from yourselves so I am not necessarily directing this specifically at our friend here except that she has the trouble with the ear this evening. [...]

[...] If you do not recall, upon awakening, them I am now giving you the suggestion that you will recall during the morning as you go about your chores. [...]

[...] Nothing can be louder than I am so if you are not afraid of this sound, there is no need for you to be afraid of the sound of your fellows. [...]

To say I am energy is no lie. [...] I am a personality in essence-energy form. This in no way implies that I am a spirit, nor does it imply that I am some weird sort of granddaddy longlegs of science fiction. What I am is difficult to explain because of the limits set not only by your own knowledge but by the present method of our communications.

[...] The main difference is that I am more equipped to draw upon this energy, and I am better equipped because I have additional knowledge which I have put to use.

[...] I may be a big wind, but I am not her big wind.

[...] The wind is the wind irregardless of the branches through which it blows, and I am, irregardless of the subconscious mind in which or through which I appear. [...]

[...] I am indeed here, and with you more than you realize. [...] I am myself. [...]

[...] I am still working with Ruburt in an attempt to make the sessions more congenial, although necessarily it takes a while for him to become accustomed to our new method of delivery.

The Mr. Gottlieb of whom you have been speaking will soon find himself in other difficulties, I am afraid. [...]

I do not, and I have said this before, want any of you to break up into pieces, for I am not sure that I could put you back together again.

Thursday 12:20—What I like about all this is that I FEEL that the head area—which is clearing all day and week—is the basic area in which everything started; even the slowness; and that all of that is in the process of clearing—that, the physical stuff PLUS, this AM the feeling I’m doing stuff at creative inspirational levels too; figured out important stuff about James for example—and I FEEL that my recovery can be easy—automatic—and that it only seems that the “body needs time” etc. [...]

[...] I feel that I’m getting ready or maybe am ready—for something? [...]

11:20 AM—The sudden feeling that something else very good about our work is happening... [...]
