“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The bare ground episode concerned a small experience I had as I walked into the kitchen before taking my nap. I glanced out the window and saw the ground bare of snow, and thought that I wouldn’t have to shovel snow. Immediately I began to feel light sensations of anxiety in my chest. Next I began to remind myself of Seth’s material in the last three private sessions—to live in the present and stop projecting into the future, that my body didn’t deserve to be treated that way, and didn’t understand such musings. The sensations went away, and I napped peacefully.)

Now: You are coming along again. The instance you mentioned, about the bare ground, became a learning experience, because you are beginning to understand the processes involved. Gradually you can change events that once led to “negative behavior” so that they then stand for small graduation exercises, and you are in the process of doing so.

Some improvements, again, have begun, barely noticed: the additional mobility in the morning, when a short while ago Ruburt would sit for an hour or more after breakfast while you brought him his second cup of coffee. [...] Barely noticeable, you might say, yet very important, and an indication that inner improvements are continuing. [...]

Now your are barely beginning. [...]

There are methods that you barely understand by which you give your bodies vitality and strength. [...]

[...] I could hardly believe it, and barely reacted to the news. [...]

Thus far in this book, we have barely begun to touch upon the multitudinous issues involved in good health or in its absence. [...]

[...] He is barely, again, beginning to sense that feeling of freedom, and the body is always ready to respond. [...]

[...] He has been doing very well, and he tried to approve, but since he lost work time yesterday his approval barely went skin deep (louder).

[...] When I left for 330 this noon the temperature was barely 10 above. [...]

[...] I laughed, telling her her behavior reminded me of our cats this morning, when it was so cold: Both Billy and Mitzi had barely stepped out onto the picnic table from the kitchen window, when they reversed themselves and hopped right back into the house. [...]

[...] As you think of it, consciousness is barely — barely — half developed. [...]

[...] Those birds, I thought, knew where they were going — they knew what they were doing, in ways man could barely comprehend. [...]

[...] What will come of it you still barely suspect consciously. [...]

[...] The exercises which Ruburt is barely beginning will be of great help in our work, and in the development of his abilities. [...]

[...] You and Ruburt both know subconsciously, and you have begun to sense the implications on a conscious level, but barely. [...]

[...] We are barely beginning to hint at their reality and importance. [...]

What your scientists have learned about the physical genes barely scratches the reality of diversity, even physically. [...]

[...] A few weeks ago he barely considered taking two steps in the kitchen, much less walking twice the length of the living room, or considering walking after dinner.

You barely touch the surfaces of the kind of freedom that I am speaking of, though you certainly do far better than most.

[...] (Pause.) The crucifix always appalled you, but not the bare cross symbol.

[...] The bare cross to you had a pure Protestant feeling. [...]

[...] She gave me also our copy of our medical records, but we were so busy I barely looked at them. [...]

As you probably suspected, this session will be barely short enough to call a session. [...]

[...] Certainly our comprehensions have deepened as a result—yet in the face of that great promise, what was I doing barely able to leave my chair? [...]

As I have certainly hinted, the body is a miraculous organism, and you have barely learned the most simple of its structures.¹ You do not understand the properties of soul or body, yet the body was given to you so that you could learn from it. [...]

[...] So even in this moment Ruburt faintly feels a nostalgic memory for lives come and gone, as you might for fond dreams barely recalled.

[...] After answering approximately 50 letters one weekend, the next weekend I could barely hold a pen to write my name. [...] (Long pause.) I was placed in a CAT scanner, my bare backside pressed painfully against a cold metal table, my head encircled by the strange doughnut, or globe, while bright white lights and numbers, it seemed, flashed everywhere. [...]

(With a laugh at 7:51:) Later that same bare backside, thin and bony, was pressed against another metal table, while this time electrodes were attached to every available area of my head so that an electroencephalogram could be taken. [...]

[...] I’ve barely mentioned them in recent notes — just for sessions 696 and 698 — but Seth has had a good deal to say about them in current personal material.] Many of the dreams have been quite long and involved. [...]

[...] The whole thing with your eyes adds to the whole thing—I can barely see what I eat, though if I put on my close-up glasses I could.... [...]
