“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause.) As mentioned earlier in this book, Ruburt and Joseph were both involved in a flood situation (in June, 1972), and so I will use that as a case in point and this specific area in particular, although the flood itself was much more far-reaching.

Locally, there were some general beliefs held: The Elmira region was economically depressed and considered to be in a backwash area of the state of New York, yet the condition was not bad enough for crisis aid. [...]

[...] In that area a sense of powerlessness grew.

To one extent or another, these same problems existed in all areas (of the East Coast) that were directly involved with that particular flood.

[...] An earthquake can be a disaster in the area where it occurs, even though its existence corrects imbalances, and therefore promotes the life of the planet. Emergency actions are quite rigorous in the immediate area of an earthquake, and aid is sent in from other countries. When an area of the body “erupts,” there are also emergency measures taken locally, and aid sent from other portions of the body to afflicted parts.

[...] When there is an earthquake in another area of the world, the land mass in your own country is in one way or another affected. When there are psychic earthquakes in other areas of the world, then you are also affected, and usually to the same degree.

The physical eruption, while it may appear to be a disaster in the area of the disease, is also, however, a part of the body’s defense system, taken to insure the whole balance of the body. [...]

The body, responding to his thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, has much more data to deal with, therefore, and must have a clear area in which concise action is possible.

[...] Particular data about specific areas of reality are given to a living organism to make manipulation within that area possible. [...]

“Jane added that when we close our eyes we’re aware of a certain ‘area of blackness,’ one we’re used to. While she’d been in this unusual state, that area was much enlarged — she used the words ‘infinitely large’ to describe it. [...] She hadn’t sensed anything happening within this area, but thought that she might have, given more knowledge and experience. [...]

[...] Neither event had made as much of an impression on her as tonight’s experience, for she hadn’t sensed the odd, infinite black within the expanded area of the skull. [...]

[...] The area has brought together diverse kinds of people, united by love of nature, some airy spaces, and some privacy … The people are also achievers of one kind or another, and while [your goals may be different] you appreciate the fact that they are trying to do something with their lives. [...]

[...] You are not moving into a closed psychic area, then, where everyone sees the world as you do, even generally speaking. [...]

[...] Trees are great users and yet conservators of energy, and they automatically provide much vitality to areas in which they are plentiful. [...]

[...] After the flood [in your area], the river air is felt to be a threat, and to many it is therefore unhealthy. [...]

[...] Your creative endeavors have brought you good rewards (long pause) in more areas than you realize, but part of your account was in an ordinary savings structure so that you were, in those areas, somewhat restricted—and restricted by Framework 1’s largely trial-and-error framework. [...]

So, when you change one (smiling) certain area of your lives into Framework 2’s account, you do not spend any time worrying about the relatively little interest you received before. It is all a matter of changing your focus in certain areas. [...]

[...] You do it by changing over your accounts in whatever areas you are concerned, from the old savings account to the super-account with its nearly double rewards for the same effort. [...]

(In my dream I’d written that he had a heart attack, but this appears to be off the mark, although pinpointing the correct area of his trouble. At times I’ve even wondered if I recorded the dream accurately, since in it I didn’t see him having a heart attack, only rubbing his chest area with Margaret helping him, and myself there as only a witness. [...]

[...] Joe is in the hospital, room 560, and has a sarcoma in or surrounding the heart area. [...]

The ego attempts to maintain a clear point of focus, of stability, so that it can direct the light of the conscious mind with some precision and concentrate its focus in areas of actuality that seem permanent. [...]

[...] The seemingly invisible ideas that cause your difficulties have quite obvious visible physical effects, and these will lead you automatically to the conscious area in which the initiating beliefs or ideas reside.

[...] You may follow your thoughts in another area, and find yourself thinking that you are having difficulty because you are too sensitive. [...]

[...] I am telling you about countering measures that you can take in areas in which you are not pleased with your experience.

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. [...]

[...] While the intuitional abilities first appeared in poetry, and while the poetry in one way was a channel into other areas, the poetry was not meant to be shut off because new areas were opened.

In Ruburt’s case therefore the distrust of spontaneity was indeed reflected in all areas of his life, particularly in spontaneous activities in both physical and creative realms. [...] As the joy of life is reflected in all of your acts, affecting your work, bodies, environment and the people you meet, so your problems are also faithfully reflected in all of these areas.

[...] It was rather a displacement of consciousness rather than a projection, for his consciousness was in a trance state, and then displaced to the bookcase area. [...]

[...] The old established explanations had faltered, and finally seemed almost incomprehensible, while the new explanations of Seth seemed beyond my reach, at least in certain areas—areas that were vital to physical and psychic peace. The same processes appeared in my husband Rob’s life, of course, as our lives seemed to impinge into the area of man’s greatest hopes, and into the opposite area of his greatest fears.

[...] Ruburt was involved in a process when he initiated the symptoms, in which certain highly specific areas were directly affected, and their function impaired. Others areas then had to react by setting up their own systems, sometimes of counter-tension.

The basic, specific areas became largely inactive. [...]

[...] He knows, now, as areas are released, and automatically keeps watch. [...]

[...] They are small areas that interconnect with others, and they are simply learning to work together again.

[...] She may not buy, believing that a parking area will be set up to drive off the sort of tenants she wants; and then after this proscribed time of contract the parking area itself may well fall through, as I told you. [...]

[...] He has done better in that area. [...]

[...] The land in this area would be used for any parking facility.

[...] There may also be an arrangement where Dr. Stamp’s garage is torn down, and the two driveways combined into a small parking area. [...]

[...] The area at the right side of the back of the head, in Ruburt’s case, physically speaking, is a trigger point for motion. [...] That area is finally in the process of releasing itself. The ligaments in the legs are responding beautifully, and as I said earlier, there is a give-and-take between the trunk and leg areas.

The neck area mentioned is also largely responsible for the arm angles and all of that is now beginning vital release. [...]

Your joint determination is already building up bonuses in many areas, and by all means remember to keep up the personal contact you have begun together again. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt had a dream with excellent connotations, in which he looked through a beautiful old house of lovely carved wood and spacious rooms, and decided to move into the house, even though it was in an area that had previously nearly been condemned — signifying that he was indeed rising from beliefs that he condemned into a larger, spacious area of expression.

(Note: Just as Jane had had this dream, I’d read an article in the Star-Gazette to the effect that a few blocks near downtown Elmira, including the apartment house we’d lived in at 458 W. Water Street, had been designated a Historical Preservation Area by New York State. [...] I think the area is bounded by Walnut, West Water, and Church Streets, back toward downtown.)

[...] You can indeed now, to some extent, serve as a leader to Ruburt in certain areas, where before you feared that might inhibit his independence, and you felt he needed the freedom to grow.

Released tension in the head area can also change both Ruburt’s depth perception and head pressure, as it lessens. [...]

[...] It is that one area where each of you believed you had no power to change events, and that belief could impede your progress, at least, even when both of you want a change.

[...] The sessions imply the possibility of breakthroughs in the most important areas of human thought. [...]

[...] Ruburt should ask for another reincarnational dream, and it will help both of you if you consider your situation from a larger context – for that context will throw illumination upon those areas where your comprehension is less than it might be (with quiet amusement).

[...] New comprehensions are available at any time, new breakthroughs in any area, for those realities contain the sources of your world’s action.

Physical exercise becomes the area between, taking you from both your painting and writing, and furthermore is a reminder, an angry one, that the physical working area—the chores—are largely yours to do.

Beneath all of the other issues and reasons at any given time, and perhaps the answer to your earlier voiced question, is the act that, more important than you realize, that for some time in vital areas you have not approved of yourselves. [...]

[...] But the neck, those ligaments and muscles, largely bear the strain so that pressure is put upon the jaw on the right side, and this to some extent impedes sinus drainage in that area.

[...] I have said before to apply your creative attitudes in this area—and when you have, again, you have seen results. [...]

[...] Arm and shoulder areas softening, and I could reach further with my left arm. [...]

Friday afternoon and Saturday—As I worked on James, I massaged my head, which certainly seemed to help the neck and other areas. [...]

[...] You would then encounter the heart of the camouflage area. The completely uncamouflaged areas at the outer edges of the various systems should remind you of the undifferentiated areas between various life cycles in the subconscious. [...]

[...] Such an area is not really a thing in itself, but a portion of vitality that contains no camouflage, and is therefore unrecognizable to those within any given system. You are in touch with infinity in such areas, since it is only camouflage that gives you the conception of time. [...]

As a rule, you see, there is little communication within the uncamouflaged areas. [...]

[...] If this occurs, you will be traveling through such an uncamouflaged area. [...]
