“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Early, some divisions occurred when Ruburt picked up the idea that womanhood was no help in being a writer, so certain aspects of the self were watched. [...]

[...] When he did so he not only produced excellent work on Aspects, but frequently felt the urge to write more. [...]

[...] Your perception characteristics at this time dictate and limit the aspects of action that you can perceive. You can, however, focus very clearly on other aspects. And particular types of consciousnesses and identities are merely the result of action’s formation into perception patterns with which it can focus upon certain aspects of itself.

[...] There are, in fact, many important issues connected with the dreaming state that can involve genetic activation of certain kinds: information processing on the part of the species, the insertion or reinsertion of civilizing elements—and all of these are also connected with the reincarnational aspects of dreaming.

[...] There have been children, again, with highly accomplished musical abilities, and great facility with music’s technical aspects—all such accomplishments before the assistance of any kind of advanced education.

[...] In children under such conditions, the reasoning mind has not yet developed in all of its aspects sufficiently, so that in a certain area direct cognition shines through with its brilliant capacity.

If possible these discussions should end with the reassurance that you can work out the practical aspects of your life together, and that you are large enough to understand your fears and use them creatively. [...]

[...] He has largely learned however to avoid this, particularly since our session that the feeling he is repressing is the problem, and if that is allowed release the physical aspects will vanish.

[...] It only applies when a mental aspect of illness is not understood, and to the degree that it is not understood. [...]

Concentrate upon the present moment — but more, concentrate upon the most pleasant aspects of the present moment. If that moment has distracting, unfavorable aspects, then resolutely bring into your mind whatever images delight or please you at the moment. [...]

Both of you were sure of your love, but each of you at various times were quite willing to let its personal aspects take second place, and I am not speaking alone of physical love-making. [...]

This immediately brought certain aspects to light that had been hidden to some extent while you were more physically separated. [...]

Later now, in the last period of time, when Eleanor heard that Ruburt had sent the outline of a new book, Aspects, to Tam, she astounded Ruburt by remarks of great regret, and implications that Ruburt had made an error. [...]

[...] He was very afraid of losing a contract with Prentice for Aspects, and a Bantam contract, while waiting around for another arrangement. [...]

(The material itself of course, came from another state of consciousness, and this Jane called her “aspects channel.” More on aspects came to her spontaneously at intervals during the next two years. Throughout this period she did a great deal of other work: Besides holding class and continuing Rich Bed, she produced in their entirety Dialogues, Personal Reality, Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, and started Volume 2. Toward the end of this period the aspects channel began opening up regularly, providing further refinements on her original inspirations. And Jane put it all together; the class experiments she’d started out with in 1971, and all of the later material, became Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology. [...]

[...] The focus personality is composed of aspects of the “source self” [or entity]. Each aspect exists independently, in its own dimension of actuality, but the aspects’ combined attributes form the basic components of the selves that we know. To Jane, Seth is a ‘personagram” — an actual personality formed in the psyche at the intersection point of the focus personality with another aspect.

(Shortly after Jane finished Seven, the entire idea for what she calls “Aspect Psychology” came to her — an “intuitive construct” that she thought was large enough to contain her experience. At one sitting she wrote 20 or so pages of material in which she understood her relationship with Seth, Seth Two, the Sumari, the characters in Seven, and other psychic concepts — all as aspects of a larger self that was independent of space and time. The aspects represented the dynamics of personality. [...]

[...] The so-called male aspect of your personality has always been strong, but by this I mean powerful. [...]

On the other hand, areas of ordinary behavior that may have seemed opaque before, cloudy or dark — personal characteristic behavior that was not understood, for instance — may suddenly become quite clear as a result of this transformation, in which the shadowy aspects of the unconscious are perceived as brilliant.

The division between the two aspects of experience begins to take on the characteristics of completely diverse behavior. [...]

(End at 11:24 p.m. Seth referred to some writing Jane did today on her long-range theoretical project, Aspect Psychology. [...]

You will find yourself exaggerating the negative aspects of your life, and the positive sides of other people’s experiences. [...]

[...] Even as we prepared this manuscript for the printer, two more of her works, Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal Self in Time, and Aspect Psychology, were contracted for publication by Prentice-Hall. [...]

(Dialogues, a book of poetry, is described in the 639th session in Chapter Ten. Aspect Psychology, Jane’s own theoretical work on psychic matters, is referred to in the 618th session in Chapter Three, among others. [...]

[...] If you overstructure reality, however, then you will end up with a formal mental garden — whose precise display may be so rigidly structured that the natural aspect of the plants and the flowers is completely obscured. [...]

[...] The events that you recognize as real are dependent upon all of the other events occurring within your psyche, even as the existence of the earth is dependent upon the other aspects of the physical universe.

[...] You would then experience one dream wrapped in another, or several occurring at one time — all involving aspects of a particular theme or probability, with each connected to the others, although to you the connections might not be apparent.

[...] In its larger aspects, then, nature involves states that include both life and death in far more expansive frameworks of reference.

[...] Each aspect of a dream stands in coded form as a symbol for greater, undecipherable events.

The symbols are so precisely and accurately produced that they simultaneously serve as aspects relating to your intimate daily life as well. [...]

You are willing counterparts (see the 721st session) of each other, and have been in your terms before — each playing out “opposite” aspects of each other, yet merging for common purposes and goals.

(To me:) You viewed aspects — counterparts — of your father’s reality. [...]

[...] This has meaning in terms of your [unpublished] information⁸ involving the masculine and feminine aspects that united and separated your parents. [...]

[...] This is all for now, but again, later, you will see where it relates, and how you can disperse your own characteristics into another and they can disperse theirs into you, with your consent and theirs, to form new aspects of reality and to cast new light on combined purposes and challenges.

[...] There are important healing aspects connected with the Sumari development, as Ruburt is beginning to suspect—a different kind of breakthrough, or easy access to energy.

(10:17.) This bypasses certain aspects that could act as impediments. [...]

Love is naturally creative and explorative — that is, you want to creatively explore the aspects of the beloved one. [...]

[...] They will see in women instead the despised, feared, and yet charged aspects of their own reality, and behave accordingly in their relationships.

[...] The peculiar aspect of your own probable portraits will still be characteristic of you, and no other.

[...] As it took some time to build up your present image with its unhealthy aspects, so it may take time to change that picture. [...]

[...] There is no need at all for undesirable aspects of your contemporary reality to be projected into the future, unless you use the power of the present to do so.

[...] I read some of my Aspects after John commented so favorably on those theories last night, but I feel comfortable with my life—I suppose I mean with my work—in a way I haven’t. I feel my temples and brows changing constantly as tension releases; the eyes becoming better; and even my sinus. [...]

...You may leave in the record or not: temporarily at least there are several connotations in the private aspect of your lives. [...]

[...] Ruburt has always been cautious here, for when I tell him of the significance of the material, then he wonders about the aspect of his own personality. But I tell you and I tell you frankly that the personality by which I show myself to you is but a small aspect of my whole personality. [...]

[...] Your own statement of course was quite true, as to the concentration on negative aspects (since supper time), but both of your attitudes have definitely improved.

Now Ruburt’s weight gain is a prerequisite for continuing improvement, and happened also once in the past before the more recent negative aspects. [...]
