“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Whenever you are attached in any way, whenever consciousness is attached to a physical organism, then inner data will be interpreted in physical terms. You can indeed learn to perceive reality in other terms, and you are both doing so.

You must still deal with physical reality, for it is definitely the representation of inner data. I have said this constantly: Expectation is behind all sense data, and forms it. I have told you—and incidentally my lovely skeptics I have told you in the past—that you create your own physical environment and universe. Your physical condition in every way is a reflection of your inner expectations, accomplishments, and failures, and I have told you that any illness is the result of an inner distortion.

Now this distortion may possibly be a hangover from a previous existence, but it is a distortion. Projections in fact should give you an excellent idea of the reality of reincarnations. In an excellent projection you forget the self on the bed. You are in an entirely new environment, but you are still beset by certain personality tendencies that are yours.

I will tell you the book, in what Ruburt thinks of as its somewhat inane simplicity, is very profound. Nevertheless for others there are steps that must be followed through, and following these steps through brings the whole personality, including the intellect, to a more balanced understanding, which is my goal. The author, while basically correct, ignores for example the reality of reincarnation; and Ruburt’s protests to the contrary, reincarnation belongs both with metaphysics and psychology, and cannot be ignored.

A man in a gray sedan took out his momentary resentment upon the cat. The cat accepted this simply because the resentment was too huge for him, and he was snowed under. The man, seeing the results, was subconsciously but clearly brought face to face with the size of his own problem.

(Seth did not return to help us out; in the meantime we made our own connections. Section One of the Times was many pages thick, as is usual on a Sunday. Therefore Jane and I arbitrarily decided to limit the interpretations and connections to the object itself, and the one page—11/12—from which it was torn. These two items are on file along with the front page of the section.

(“Connection with something green as a meadow.” The same article describes in some detail how the Dominican order in Portugal now has converted an old farm into a new seminary, which is “largely self-supporting, having its own kitchen, laundry, reservoir, farm, fruit and vegetable garden, and vineyards,” etc.

(“A determination and a disadvantage.” Jane said this is a reference arising out of the set of dishes shown on the page 12 side of the object. It concerns the fact that we are buying a set of dishes of our own at Loblaw’s supermarket; Jane said she was determined to get a set of dishes adequate for our needs. The disadvantage however is that obtaining the set in this fashion is much more expensive than she had figured on.
