“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I am not speaking here of anything so simple as merely allowing women more freedom, or relieving men from the conventional breadwinner’s role. I am certainly not talking about “open marriage” as it is currently understood, but of far greater issues. [...]

I am not suggesting that you substitute dream reality for your so-called waking reality. I am mainly suggesting that the two can reinforce each other to a larger degree than you recognize. [...]

(Intently, and with humor:) I am somewhat familiar with food before canning and refrigeration, and there were maggots everywhere, and feces and dirt, and sanitation was largely unknown. [...]

(Besides helping Jane go over Seven Two I am going to make a chart for her to keep records of her walking, exercising, and “free, playful, creative writing,” as Seth put it.)

[...] If you say, “I am powerless to direct my life,” you are also making a deliberate choice — and in that case a limiting one.

(End at 12:12 AM. [...]

[...] I may or may not return, but know that I am present and approachable.

(12:09 AM.)

[...] I am alert to the fact that I am using many terms, and that it may seem difficult to understand the differences between probable and reincarnational selves, counterparts and families of consciousness. [...]

When I speak in terms of counterparts, then, or of reincarnational selves and probable selves, I am saying that in the true symphony of your being you are violins, oboes, cymbals, harps — in other words, you are a living instrument through which you play yourself. [...]

[...] You would understand that I am not contradicting myself. [...]

Dictation: I am not implying that all social workers are driven by personal problems. [...]

(9:55.) I am making a distinction here between such conversion experience and genuine mystic understanding,¹ which may also come in a flash of time. [...]

[...] I am not saying here that many doctors and nurses do not try their best to promote healing, and certainly healings occur — but they do so despite the system and not because of it. [...]

Now I am speaking of failure as it would apply to you, in your estimation. [...]

[...] I am speaking of the physical situation—the illness itself.You have every good chance of ridding yourself of the symptoms now, but you must immediately begin to use your imagination, so that it works for you and not against you.

If you catch yourself thinking when something hurts, “I am sore,” then ask yourself what you are sore about. [...]

I am not going to hold a very long session this evening. [...]

[...] I am always conscientiously aware of his condition at any time. [...]

[...] I am simply asking that you not give the subconscious too many issues to deal with at once, and the last part of each session should always reinforce any positive steps you have made and end with a few, very brief, clear positive suggestions.

[...] Remember, I am speaking of an overemphasis upon the idea of work, not about a normal concern about book publications, or career concerns, those are certainly reasonable. [...]

[...] Last night Jane was faced with a little dilemma: She felt Seth around after supper, but also had the idea that we go to bed at 8:30 and get up at 4 AM to “work.” [...] She wheeled herself back into the bedroom at about 4 AM, and went to bed with my help. [...]

[...] To help you imagine what I am speaking of, you might think of them as ghost images, or shadow images, though this is only for the sake of analogy — forms, for example, just beneath, that have not emerged completely into physical reality as you know it, but are nevertheless vivid enough to be constructed. [...]

[...] I am trying to discuss this in your terms, since basically, you must understand, the words “past,” “present,” and “future” are no more meaningful as far as true experience is concerned than are the words “ego,” “conscious,” or “unconscious.”

All of this occurs more or less at one level, though you must understand that I am simplifying the issues here to some extent. [...]

[...] I am afraid I would put my friend to sleep over here. [...]

[...] I am saying here that to some extent the child in the womb is aware of the mother’s beliefs and information, and that to some extent (underlined) it is “programmed” to behave in a certain fashion, or to grow in a certain fashion as a result.

[...] I am not saying that children do not have a sexual nature from birth. [...]

In any case I greet you most heartily, and I am glad to be here. [...]

[...] If possible for you, I am smiling, remind him of that in the mornings.

In any case I greet you most heartily, and I am glad to be here. [...]

[...] If you truly understood what I am saying, you would realize the importance of encouraging optimistic, jestful feelings of faith, of cultivating them—for it is far more important to collect them than money. [...]
