“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (I think I was in my astral body though.) I knew that I was dreaming, thought to myself that it was very difficult to read such material in the dream state but that I would try in any case. [...]

[...] They had pseudoforms—dream bodies, if you prefer—and they could not physically reproduce themselves. [...]

[...] (Pause.) In your terms of time, however, the dream bodies took on physical forms. [...]

[...] In the framework of three-dimensional reality in which reincarnation exists, the structure of the body itself requires (in quotes) “time” lapses. [...] The physical body exists within an electromagnetic order.

[...] Yet it soon learns that areas of exploration are limited even as far as its own body is concerned. [...] The body is early forbidden territory, so that the child feels it is wrong to love itself in any fashion.

[...] They are action and they both imply action in physical bodies …

[...] My body then was very light — weightless to me, anyway. [...]

[...] I just seemed to be in a weightless body in which I had little interest. [...]

[...] When Rob felt my hand, it was wet and floppy, and my body seemed to have no physical resistance at all.

For Ruburt then: When the physical body lies in bed, that physical body is separated by a vast distance from the dream location in which the dreaming self may dwell. [...] For the dream location exists simultaneously with the room in which the body dwells.

[...] One taken many years ago, in a location near a body of water. [...]

[...] And in your daytime existence, you materialize those realities that you have already settled upon when your body sleeps. [...]

[...] Presently, I have no body with which to manipulate in your physical system. [...]

[...] For no matter what I tell you, you still seem to fear as if you are limited and as if your self is something within your head bounded by your bony skull, and enclosed within your physical body. [...]

It is to demonstrate that you have the same vitality within yourself, and if I have this vitality and I do not have a body, then how much vitality do you have that you should be using that you are not using. [...]

[...] So the individuals alive upon the body of the earth at any given time fit together as beautifully as the cells do within your individual body at a particular time (most emphatically).

[...] Each physical body — in its own way, now, following its own individual peculiarities — would develop whatever skills it chose and found comfortable. [...]

I am saying that in a way the people alive on the body of the earth have the same kind of relationship, one to another, as the cells have one to the other.

[...] During the time have Ruburt concentrate upon all those other functions of body, organ and mind, that are in excellent condition, quite obviously filled with vitality. [...]

[...] How beautifully my body operates, and I do not even have to think of it.”

[...] Some of the data on body consciousness has not been presented in just this way by Seth during regular sessions.

[...] Now you are aiding in the development of those consciousnesses that compose the cells and molecules within your own bodies.

[...] “My body wants to do it so bad.” [...]

[...] Those motions allowed other motions to occur in other parts of the body. [...]

[...] (The crying.) His arms also showed additional freedom—and in many instances portions of his body moved with the same kind of ease that you experienced in your dream of last evening, as you painted the large portraits—

[...] Sometimes your body bothers you, and it is saying “You worry too much. [...] Instead, you then promptly worry about your body, concentrate upon its malfunctions, focus upon its problems. [...]

[...] You are having your physical problems because you are trying to leap over these limitations—that is, your body is saying “Stop taking sides with yourself, or rather against yourself.” [...]

You are misusing your body, for you are depriving it of necessary nutrients. [...]

[...] You are not giving your body a steady daily balance of nutrients. [...]

([Pete:] “Unless my body warns me by tingles or something.”)

Some of the buried fears have been stationary, residing or taking up residence in their physical materialization in certain areas of the body. Each one definitely has an effect physically upon any of the thousands of muscles, and usually the same fear affects the same area of the body. [...]

[...] One fear, expressed, will bring with it through association many others, relieving also various areas of the body. [...]

[...] At the same time, Seth began to send me on out-of-body journeys during some sessions and to offer, on his own, other instances of “paranormal” activity.

[...] In the out-of-body experiences, Seth correctly described events that happened across the country and in Puerto Rico. [...]

[...] Though Seth told us that the experiments in dream recall would automatically make our consciousness more flexible, his real meaning didn’t come through to me until I found myself manipulating dreams and later having out-of-body experiences from the dream state.

[...] The very motor responses demanded on the part of the body and the extra arousal tendency would force you to lose a good deal of valid material. [...]

5. Your suggestion of out-of-body activity is a good one, and diverts energy to a good goal.

The substance you are using (DMSO) acts in its way, now, almost like a shock treatment, introducing certain parts of the body to a relaxation that feels unnatural because it is not gradual. The body does not feel stable, for example. [...] A larger person with more body area and weight would be less affected, for example, as say with alcohol. [...]

[...] You used this period, however, yourselves, as a time to critically aggravate the symptoms (long pause), almost as if you were looking over a body of work to see what you thought of it, and what you wanted to do next. [...]

“Imagine a body with a fully operating body consciousness, not diseased or defective, but without the overriding ego-directed consciousness that you have. [...] Their main points of consciousness were elsewhere, their primary focuses scarcely aware of the bodies they had created. [...]

[...] They did not saddle the body with negative beliefs of disease or limitation. [...]

[...] This can cause some feelings of instability when he is walking—but the body must also try out its positions when he is on his feet. If you concentrate upon the improvements you will see that some sensations that at first appear uncomfortable are not detrimental at all, but a part of the body’s recovery. [...]

Ruburt’s body is expressing as much of that desire as he, and secondly you, have felt free enough to express. [...]

Hal works more directly with the body. [...]

It is this sense which directs your own growth physically, and which forms the cells of your physical body and constantly changes the stuff of your body.

[...] To some extent it could be compared to an extra layer of skin surrounding the physical body, except that it is not constructed in the same manner upon your plane, and is invisible to you under ordinary circumstances.

These capsules can be seen by you under certain circumstances, and have been called astral bodies—a term which does not meet with my pleasure. [...]

Now this does not mean that a stationary body of any kind cannot materialize itself upon another plane. [...]
