“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] We are trying to initiate some small exercises that will encourage freedom, both mentally and physically.

[...] This is extremely important from both a mental and physical standpoint.

[...] The session itself, with these suggestions, automatically will set Ruburt’s imagination going along these lines, you see, and the idea of freedom is generated both mentally and physically.

Now he has been improving, but now we will work at this from both angles. [...]

[...] Both experiences seem to be related to sound, and both took place in the small hours of the night after I had been sleeping for some time, then awakened. [...]

[...] Both of us felt somewhat tired, but attributed it to the weather, which has been cloudy and oppressive for the past few days. [...]

[...] You react to both environments whenever you are concentrated within them. [...]

[...] The weather has also a connection here, and your moods are affected by both. [...]

[...] Unfortunately, artificial guilt takes on the same attributes, utilizing both memory and projection. Wars are self-perpetuating because they combine both natural and unnatural guilt, compounded and reinforced by memory. [...]

[...] So the principle applies to both life and death. [...]

[...] In the cases of both war and of overgrowth, the species has ignored its natural guilt. [...]

[...] Both the villain and the hero will be in trouble, however, for each are denying other legitimate aspects of their experience.

[...] You both have great powers of concentration and energy. [...] When you worry all day then the library goes out the window, and so does your feeling of creative adventure, in your own creative hours, both of you. [...]

[...] I arranged that both women would meet here at 4:00 PM to talk with Jane for an hour before supper time; Sue Watkins was also due that afternoon with some typed material for Psyche—which is why I made the arrangement to begin with.

[...] These permitted some new rotation of both knees, and also loosened some ligaments to the feet.

[...] Had you both trusted the body, had you believed that it did indeed improve to improve, then Ruburt would have been more aware of the new balancing sensations and positions, and would not have added anxiety on top.

[...] Eyes felt softer, etc., Then we went to take Billy to the vet’s; on the way my eyes did funny things; odd sensations involving balance I think—both of these in the car; I asked for help from “divine parent of my being,” and repeated the suggestions Seth gave me; trying not to be worried. [...] This would mean both have lengthened some; and that’s the side, the right one, I had the eye stuff and funny balance feelings on. [...]

[...] Both of us were tired and not very much in the mood. We’d both had rough days working, and almost decided not to hold the session at all. [...]

[...] We were both by now more than a little surprised and amazed. [...]

[...] During it, I remarked that the next question I wanted to ask Seth was whether either Jane or I, or both of us, had ever unknowingly seen a fragment of the type our friend Bill Macdonnel had. [...]

[...] You and Jane both have a peculiar problem in that you are creative even when you are destructive.

[...] They were considered cowardly, unadult, unreasonable, degrading, and both of you considered them in that light. “How abject can you get?” you would both think.

Your own joint sexual love was too hot for either of you to handle, and you both tempered it with intellectualism and caution; but for all of that it has endured. [...] At the gallery, for example, when your psychic work began, he did not speak out, and you encouraged him not to, and you both considered this as a scientific kind of breakthrough. [...]

[...] You are selfrighteous, both of you, and intolerant of your fellows. [...]

My standards of spiritual behavior, I would say, are as pertinent as your own, as “high,” yet I can honestly say that your self-righteousness blinds you both to the good intent, however misguided, in say even political actions. [...]

[...] She also thought of giving me the night off, by way of celebrating a bit because I’ve finished the notes for Mass Events, but I told her I’d rather keep the sessions going as long as both of us feel like it. [...]

[...] Of course we were both relieved. [...]

[...] In other words, of course, I hope to inspire both your imagination and your intelligence in this chapter and in this section of the book, devoted to such subject matter.

Chapter 2: I cited both concepts in Note 1 for Session 884. [...]

Apartment 4 then represents old beliefs, both literal and symbolic at once then. [...] In so doing he reinforces a sense of power over both inner habits and the physical environment.

[...] Both sets have to be dealt with, therefore. [...] Both of these areas help work against the sense of powerlessness that was tied up in the troublesome beliefs.

[...] I do recommend both morning and evening suggestions with the pendulum.

[...] Hardly any of what you both have learned, was conscious then, however. [...]

Then I wish you both a fond good evening—and both of your dream activities should continue to be quite vital.

[...] If anything, the personal advice I have given you both should add to your mental and emotional balance, and should result in a stronger relationship with the outside world.

There is no danger, and I will repeat this: There is no danger of dissociation grabbing a hold of him like some black, vague and furry monster, carrying him away to the netherlands of hysteria, schizophrenia, or insanity… I have consistently advised contacts with the world at large, and I have advised you both to use your abilities to meet outside challenges. [...]

As an added precaution, I have made it a point to push you both toward healthy outside counterbalancing experience, and I have warned you, Joseph, against giving in too much to solitariness. [...]

Our relationship should enable you both to deal more adequately with the outside world. [...]

(My counterpart, Peter Smith, and I are both professional artists; we’re roughly of an age, with strong interests in other forms of creativity, such as writing, and in myth and fantasy.¹ A number of the similarities and differences between Jane and me should be obvious to our readers; she also does quite a lot of painting. Both of my other class counterparts, Norma Pryor and Jack Pierce, are themselves of a younger generation than Jane, Peter, and I. Jack writes novels, as yet unpublished. [...] Both are very quiet and unassuming.

[...] She’s from out of town, and I hardly know her [she’s also so quiet]; but even so, I could see how it was possible that she could be embarked upon her own series of lifetime challenges while expressing certain qualities of the entity, or whole self from, which we both emerged. [...]

[...] This period of time is leading you both away from black or white patterns of thought to some degree, so that you can consider the aspects of your lives, bothered less by absolutes. [...] Love-making, expressions of loving support and encouragement should come higher up on your lists on both of your parts than before. [...]

[...] There is no need condemning the attitudes he will be inspired by on both the long and short projects. [...]

[...] Your house is perfectly set up, however, so that if you wanted to it can be expanded to suit further needs: the large center portion (gesturing) serving as your communal living quarters—this area—and with some creative extensions you could have quite appropriate separate working wings at either end, providing you both with more work space, feelings of privacy, and esthetic pleasure. [...]

[...] In fact, my back was bothering me considerably, whether the cause was physical, psychological, or both.

The abandon of your dancing was good for both of you. The indisposition, or cold, came about for a strange reason, based mainly upon the symbolism placed by both of you upon the establishment in which you created the fragments last year.

[...] Both of us had heavy colds when we got home on Sunday, August 23.

[...] It gives me time for myself in the afternoons to paint—an arrangement that I have learned is very necessary, even vital, to my well-being both physically and mentally. [...]

(Both of us were busy as session time approached. [...]

[...] I am still in the process of trying to teach you both that trust is also a spiritual and physical imperative. [...]

[...] Again, I mentioned that you could both benefit far more from more such encounters. [...]

[...] You have both done remarkably well from that viewpoint. [...]

[...] Against that image of course he feels inadequate, and of course such an image would make him lose faith in himself to some degree; so it is very important that you realize how well you have both done in many areas of activity, and that you reinforce each other in those directions. [...]

Now, you both (underlined) take it for granted that Ruburt cannot live a normal life. That is your belief at this time, and you had better change it—both of you—for he can—

[...] Both of us were amazed.

[...] I also want you each to consciously know what you think, secretly, about the ways in which Ruburt’s symptoms keep you from doing certain things, both of you.

—as a rock bottom answer, that both of you can use to escape doing what you do not want to do. [...]

[...] Both pertained to Jane’s book on the Seth material, which she is just finishing. [...] Jane is dealing with both of these points in Chapter Eight of her book.

[...] It had been a hectic day for both of us. Since last night we had been discussing the illustrations for the book, and both of the above questions concerned illustrations.)

[...] Ruburt is the blond one. (Both are male.

(On June 27 Jane had received a letter from Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall, requesting information on Dr. Instream, Dr. Bernard, both psychologists; and on Ray Van Over. [...]

Dr. Gene Bernard has received some excellent material from me, both in the realm of psychological interpretation, and clairvoyant impressions. [...]

[...] I send you my best wishes (long pause), and invite either or both of you here.

[...] My heartiest wishes to you both.

(12:05 AM.) A few remarks for you both.

[...] I will give him more in the same way to keep you both on the right track.

You will both also find travel, when possible, extremely advantageous. To protect your abilities both of you had to take certain steps, Ruburt by way of enforcing discipline, Joseph by way of enforcing isolation. [...]

This material, all of it, is so important to you both that I cannot stress it too strongly. You are both doing well. [...]

[...] And now, my dear patient Joseph, may I tell you also that you are part of that same entity; and this is one of the main reasons why I am able to communicate with you both.

[...] You and Ruburt both must use all your abilities to the utmost. [...]
