“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I am with you fairly often in one way or another, and my affection for you both is deep. I would most strongly recommend the back exercises, actually for you both, but definitely for Ruburt.

[...] I want to point out that the back exercises, because of the quietude and training in concentration, represent excellent practices for both of you, and for Ruburt in particular. [...]

[...] Torrents of energy, both constructive and aggressive, suddenly are let loose where he works, and woe to all around.

[...] abruptly realized that both her hands, thrust into the pockets of her slacks, were clenched tight. [...]

[...] For if he suffered because of them, he knew that you would also suffer, until finally you would have to admit the truths that could set you both free.

[...] You both had something very strong working for you, still strong enough to help, and that was the creative intuitive nature, which would have in one way or another made the facts plain.

[...] Both of you actually decided that the situation had gone too far, and had telepathically communicated. [...]

You had made your peace, both of you, at another level, but the two personalities as you know them still had to come to terms in your normal reality. [...]

[...] With what he has learned, and with that emotional touchstone, he has indeed made good strides, which are quite obvious for both of you to see. [...]

[...] A little extra effort on both of your parts can help you not only to recognize the feelings, which you do, but to decide to suspend them for now. [...]

[...] I suggest you read the late sessions again, and I imagine that by our next session you will both be in a better frame of mind, unless you allow your discouraging feelings to predominate, which would be a vast mistake.

[...] You should get out on weekends, both of you, or some other time. [...] They are both aspects of something that you do not as yet understand. [...]

In your terms consciousness springs from unconsciousness, but the unconsciousness from which it springs is far more “conscious” in terms both of scope and intensity, than the consciousness you know.

[...] You are both in a period of transition. [...]

(Long pause.) Both religion and science see the self as primarily heir to flaws, decay. [...]

The world in those terms (pause) is as much the result of unpredictable behavior, unforeseen events, unexpected benefits, unforeseeable conditions, as it is the result of predictable actions, usual cause-and-effect phenomena (pause), and a close inspection of public and private life would show quite clearly that both are magnificently touched by significant coincidences. [...]

[...] Science’s flawed self still carries the same import, however, the idea being that while science does not deal with values, so its says, it misleads itself considerably in making such statements, for it projects the worst kind of values both upon mankind and the rest of nature—so even if you are not tainted from religion’s old beliefs, it is difficult to escape such ideas. [...]

[...] Love is therefore surrounded very carefully by all kinds of barriers by both science and religion, and in your own lives you could now be much more demonstrative in those regards. [...]

[...] I believe both of us have learned much since then. [...]

[...] Part of the reason we both felt better was that we had made some decisions that offered hope: the food therapy, the sessions, etc. [...]

[...] I will have plenty to say to you both, hopefully that will prove of quite practical benefit.

[...] A time and a rhythm occurred in which you both knew that therapeutic ventures, started now for many reasons could take quicker route—that is, you sensed upon a new probability. [...]

[...] I suggest therefore that he make an attempt to express his moods, both joyful and sorrowful, in physical terms through body motion. [...]

(At the supper table Jane expressed a fear that, although both of us are well aware of it, she seldom mentions: that she won’t be able to recover, that the symptoms have gone too far, have been around too long for full recovery, etc. [...]

[...] Both classes, and the changes he has made are beneficial. [...]

I should also open up some further experiences with both Seth II, Cyprus, and Oversoul Seven. [...]

The usual framework of married life with children was not to be a part of your experience this time, and both of you took pains to see that you did not have children—or mates that wanted them. To some extent you both felt guilty that a certain kind of clear knowledge seemed so naturally and clearly available. [...]

[...] You both felt, again to some degree, that people could not understand your particular kinds of creativity. [...] You both felt an honest and deep compassion for other people, however: even winning in a sports event, you felt sorry for the loser. [...]

[...] When the sessions started you were both amazed at the ease with which the material was received, struck by its quality, aware at certain levels of its challenge. [...] (Long pause.) There were certain deep questions about life, certain pressing problems about man’s condition, with which you felt you had little experience, since your primary goals had been to examine life, to stand apart from it to study it, And therefore you both felt that you had few of the same concerns as those that led other people (quietly intent). [...]

Even before our sessions began, you both knew that generally speaking, now, you were quite different from other people, highly gifted creatively and intellectually. [...]

(“Connection with a 1962 date, or 1964, or both.” Seth is correct with both dates. [...]

[...] Probably another general reference to the object, in that the object’s author, Caroline Keck, was associated with both the Brooklyn Museum and the Arnot Art Gallery. Both edifices being made of stone, as well as with additions of brick, etc.

[...] Survival personalities exist both as they were and as they are. [...]

[...] Connection with a 1962 date, or 1964, or both. [...]

Ruburt wanted to make creativity work financially so that you could both be free to pursue it. [...] In both of your lives, those experiences, however valid, that did not fit both categories, gradually went to one degree or another by the way.

[...] Your attitudes toward people are jointly vital, and the inner mobility must flow on both of your parts. [...] Your conventionalized ideas of psychics, both of you, are troublesome. [...]

[...] You work long hours, you both overinsist, so people will not think you lazy—or, worse, imagine that you are having fun or enjoying your situation. [...]

When you both had to work outside at least partially for a living, you did not have to consider your beliefs about creative time, or how to organize your day creatively. [...]

[...] Host and virus both need each other, and both are part of the same life cycle.

On separate days, both Jane and I had vivid psychic experiences involving our perceptions of Billy not long after his death: Each in our own way, we saw him “larger than life,” performing with amazing vitality and grace. [...] Jane hopes to use both events, plus some material she wrote on scientific experimentation with animals, in one of her own books.

[...] Jane and I both wondered: Why Billy? [...]

[...] Life and death are both states of existence. [...]

[...] Both are good. Both are, and you are both. [...]

[...] Consciously (underlined), at the start of your marriage you would both have been delighted to work together doing comic strips, fulfilling male and female roles quite conventionally, with just an added flair. Your abilities led both of you far beyond, and it is time that you updated your ideas. [...]

[...] All of this, however, is connected with the misunderstanding concerning the nature of the creative self, and on both of your parts. [...]

[...] To some extent (underlined), and again, only as part of the picture, the symptoms have been a social device that to varying degrees, now, suited your purposes, both of you. [...]

[...] To some extent the symptoms provided you both with a cushion against too many distractions from outsiders. [...]

[...] One or two out of every four or five sessions gets through to you, meaning both of you. [...] Both religion and science, parents and schools, stress that idea, and it is one of the most important causes of mental alienation, spiritual and physical distress.

You both comment often about Ruburt’s literal mind, forgetting that it is most knowledgeable as far as symbolic content is concerned. [...]

[...] You both had exaggerated ideas, or distorted ones, about the nature of creativity, and about people who were creative, and you considered yourselves rightly as creative people.

[...] So in feeling it you were both after all quite conventional.

(Jane had been having trouble writing her book on the Seth material with her old spontaneity, and both of us were concerned. [...]

The daily working methods allow for the natural and periodic use and release of both aspects of the personality. [...]

[...] That particular problem then is also a challenge and a way of development for you both.

The situation when it is settled will result in perhaps the best possible one for both of you, from all standpoints, and such would not be possible had you taken a simpler way. [...]

The longer we went without class, the more Jane and I saw how much its demise paralleled the ending of “Unknown” Reality. Both events were inevitable, we came to understand; both had had their time; our regrets about the finishing of both are real, while simultaneously we heartily agree that the nature of life in this physical — or “camouflage” — reality is one of unending change and renewal. [...]

[...] I thought I’d include a few quotations from him on both issues, while eliminating portions of the session that deal with other matters entirely. I think the information on Jane is quite relevant to both her work and her life in general.)

[...] Until he understood the inward order of events⁸ he would not be able to meet me there — so the library can serve us both in that regard.

[...] Minutes, hours, or years have lost both their meaning and their fascination. [...]

Drawing and painting during such periods was considered both sacred and immensely useful at the same time. There is indeed a kind of communal dream life, then, in which each individual contributes—a dream life in which both living and dead play a part, in your terms. [...]

At its very heart, creativity of that nature is indeed both sacred and highly useful, and from that dimension of activity all of the initial patterns (underlined) for your highly technological society have come. [...]

[...] All meaningful work means in the meaningful and productive relationship between oneself and the natural world, that contributes to both one’s own survival and fulfillment, and to the survival and fulfillment of the natural world. [...]

This attitude is twice as limiting since it robs you of the very enjoyable and natural sense of worth that your body and mind both inherently possess—that is, overall you realize the rightness of your position. [...]

I wish you both a most fond good evening.

I would like to preface my remarks by mentioning that you are both in excellent psychic and physical condition at this point, and at your best level of achievement, indeed maintaining a balance that neither of you had been able to achieve earlier.

I realize and understand that both of you rather suspect personal material when I give it. [...]

You both suspected all sorts of tricky subconscious motives on Ruburt’s part. [...]

[...] You both let Framework 2 slide in your thoughts—generally speaking. [...] If you both read your statements in the morning, and you and Ruburt read his together, that will help you program the day. [...]

[...] In each system of belief, the evidence however is overwhelming, and in the vast nature of reality both notions are equally beside the point, and one is no truer or more false than the other—a hard pill to swallow for modern man.

[...] It seems they are innocent of both. [...]

[...] We become important symbols, both in their waking and dream lives.

Mind and body both needed a rest, and both will benefit. [...]

[...] It is very important, again, that he follow his inclinations—for overall, when he feels like doing nothing but relaxing, this is what body and mind both need at that point. [...]
