“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The mother’s affections were not the child’s by right, but dependent upon how well the child cared or performed.

[...] The college scholarship was not Ruburt’s by right, but could also be taken away.

[...] He meant obviously that it must be replaced, but would never directly ask you to do so, feeling he had no right.

The habits however became strong through the years: the reasons largely forgotten, and for that matter no longer vital, but active.

You with your conscious mind are to discriminate among those thoughts as to which ones you want to form into your system of beliefs (intently), but in so doing you are not to pretend blindness. You may at times wish that a rainy day were a sunny one, but you do not stand at the window and deny that the rain is falling, or that the air is cold and the sky dark.

[...] But my mission is to remind you of the incredible power within your own being, and to encourage you to recognize and use it.”

[...] Think of one of the most pleasant events that ever happened to you and the reverse will be true, but the process is the same. [...]

[...] But your thoughts form structures as real as the cells. [...]

[...] (Dreams, Evolution and Value Fulfillment.) Your beliefs often tell you that life is hard, however, that living is difficult, that the universe, again, is unsafe, and that you must use all of your resources—not to meet the world with anything like joyful abandon, of course, but to protect yourself against its implied threats; threats that you have been taught to expect. [...]

But your beliefs do not stop there; because of both scientific and religious ones you believe in western civilization that there are threats from within also. [...]

[...] Muscles and ligaments and joints loosened, but this could not be accomplished without certain bodily sensations, without certain imbalances, as the body tried to bring about another adjustment and alignment. [...]

[...] He knows when he has poor habits in that regard, but have him work with one, say, just one a week, rather than take on several at a time. [...]

As her psychic abilities began to rapidly grow, following her initiation of the Seth material late in 1963, Jane couldn’t help but become more and more concerned about consciously enlarging her “scope of identity.” [...] But naive creatures that we were, when we did begin to reach out we were quite unprepared for the skepticism we would meet from the learned “establishment.” [...]

[...] But often readers have been afraid to admit publicly that they have found truth in metaphysical sources. [...]

So far, metaphysics has only been entertainment, a step-science of our culture; part of the extended family of science for the purposes of inspiration and ideas, but not given credit as scientific truth. [...]

[...] At first it may not seem to be giving you the results you expect, but you are working within spacious time. [...]

(At an earlier break, Bill had mentioned to me, while Jane was out of the room, that he believed Jane was right-handed but that Seth used predominantly left-handed movements. I hadn’t noticed this, but told Bill Jane had talked at times of being left-handed as a child; I told him I remembered Jane saying something about being made to write right-handed in school.)

[...] But consider the other side of the coin. [...]

[...] Certain questions may appear too simple to ask, but you must ask them and you must use your brains here. [...]

[...] Her pace had been fast throughout, her voice somewhat stronger but not loud by any means.

[...] Room 330 was on the chilly side to me, but Jane was comfortable.

Each life influences each other life, and some portion of the personality retains memory not only of past lives, but of future lives also.

When reincarnational studies are embarked upon, on occasion people remember some instance of past-life experience, but conventional ideas of time are so strong that so-called future memory is blacked out.

[...] It should be helpful, and certainly somewhat comforting, to realize that even unfortunate birth conditions were not forced upon you by some outside agency, but chosen at inner levels of your own reality.

[...] I am not going into Ruburt’s condition to any great degree, but I do have some information. [...]

[...] He should remember that many people have far greater hassles, not only with health but with personal relationships, finances and vocations, and without any satisfying accomplishments to offset their “misfortunes.”

[...] But to some extent they added to Ruburt’s muscular habits of tension. [...]

Considering Ruburt’s challenges, he has done extremely well in all respects, but one area took the brunt as he cleared away the debris that literally surrounds the lives of most people.

[...] It gives a framework, but frameworks are to be used. [...] When he did so he not only produced excellent work on Aspects, but frequently felt the urge to write more. [...]

[...] Behind those beliefs was the belief that spontaneity is an indulgence to be controlled, that good things are not spontaneous, but bad things are. [...]

[...] (As Seth, Jane pointed to the Christmas amaryllis that sat on the coffee table between us.) It can be encouraged, watched and tended, but it grows as a natural part of the personality. [...]

Ruburt felt it was wrong to do anything but write. [...]

[...] You were with him, but because of personal loyalty to him and the brothership of male with male was considered sacred—but you became appalled that he was leading his people into destruction.

[...] The acceptance from another writer, simply on that level alone, was important: But the meeting with someone who also shared psychic and writing ability was vital.

[...] Until he was absolutely certain that he was on the right track, he would hold back, as indeed he has—but only to a certain degree, as indeed he has.

[...] He has now an example that suits his sometimes (underlined) literal mind; but his following of the session made that example possible.

[...] It wasn’t complete but, surprisingly, it already ran to five typed pages and some fifty-two items. I contributed a lot of them, but also consulted with Jane. [...]

(We sat for the session at 9:00, as we almost always do, but Seth didn’t appear with his usual promptness. [...]

[...] The Speakers are gifted according to their own characters, some having far more abilities than others, but all playing roles in the communication of inner data. [...]

The greatest Speakers do not only translate and communicate inner data, but also go much further into these inner realms of reality than others connected with your physical system. [...]

[...] I hoped aloud that Seth would discuss it tonight, but as in my dream mentioned in the 160th session, he did not. [...]

[...] They represent offshoots, again not necessarily detrimental in themselves, but only when viewed from the standpoint of the other actions that form the personality framework.

[...] The ego may attempt to ignore or escape from such experiences, but the basic nature of action itself is the knowing of itself in all aspects; and in a basic manner, in a very basic and deep manner, action does not differentiate between pleasant, painful or enjoyable actions.

[...] But because the personality is composed of action, the personality also contains within it this characteristic of action, in that it accepts all sensations as expressions of itself, and does not discriminate between stimuli.

[...] The Gallaghers visited us Saturday evening, December 2. I did not see them arrive, but witnessed their departure. [...]

[...] As soon as I realized this conscious effort I relaxed, in hopes that this would encourage its longevity, but the vision faded and did not return. [...]

[...] You could refuse, but the lines of probability so far are against this. [...]

There is much more here that the author does not understand, but he has hit upon excellent methods, and you can take advantage of them. [...]

Now according to what you have been taught, my friend Ruburt should be mad (crazy) but he is not. [...] The physical matter of which you are seemingly composed will disintegrate (in physical death) but you will not disintegrate. [...]

[...] The camouflage world is beautiful, but more exists that you do not see. [...]

[...] As Seth you know me as an old man, but I have been a young woman. [...]

Do not be afraid but change with the seasons, for you are more than the seasons and you form the seasons, as they are the reflections of your psychic climate. [...]

The trouble is that you frequently consider the soul or entity as a finished, static “thing” that belongs to you but is not you. [...]

[...] But the soul or entity has its existence basically in other dimensions, and in these, fulfillment is not dependent upon arrivals at any points, spiritual or otherwise.

[...] The soul or entity is not diminished but expanded through reincarnations, through existence and experience in probable realities — something that I will explain later.

[...] There are millions of cells within your body, but you call your body a unit, and consider it your own. [...]

(During this part of the impromptu session Jane’s voice became very loud and strong at times; it did not match the effects of the recorded 170th session, but came close once or twice. [...] But this did not prevent another strong blast. [...]

[...] They had recognized elements of my voice, but because of the volume did not really think it was mine. [...] Not knowing what to say, I tried to joke that it was the television set, but Donna said it wasn’t; their set had been on, and they had checked all the eight stations to see if they could find such a voice.

[...] These were met in his sales work, but would not be so easily satisfied if he were a proprietor of a settled establishment.

[...] He said John had cut his tongue on a bone sliver while eating, but because of the human nerve structure in that part of the anatomy the pain had been felt down in his neck.

I’m caught between writing these notes and continuing with my preface or whatever for James, which is coming along great; but guess this is more important right now. [...] I feel he’s irritated, but I tell myself I chose that condition with its resulting humiliations in the past and now I am choosing to be responsive; to be more alive; and those incidences will soon BE past. [...]

Stopped writing these notes; getting some more good ideas for my preface— but the good feelings in my leg and foot continue; I want to call out to Rob and tell him, but feel constraint; he’s working on Unknown; I’ll disturb him ... [...]

They have the knowledge to a very large degree, but they have fallen short. [...] But this camouflage can be most disastrous if it is not manipulated correctly. [...]

[...] but there Joseph sits. [...] I could tell you much about Joseph and Denmark, but I would not divulge the circumstances in which he was so unfortunately involved.

[...] The windows were of necessity open and traffic noise was quite audible, but we heard Jane without difficulty. [...]

[...] Jane stopped speaking but as in the 172nd session, when she was also interrupted, she gave no signs of shock or even discomfort. [...]

(Jane also tried walking with the table with Frank’s help, as she had with me the day before, but once again couldn’t quite get up on her feet. [...] She also tried the library today, as Seth had suggested, but with “nil” results, but didn’t try the energy-healing exercise yet. [...]

[...] But Jane and I have trained ourselves to try to recall accurately what others say, and we are aware of how information can be distorted as it’s passed on. We told Jim we haven’t made any firm decision about seeking medical help, but will when the glasses situation is taken care of. [...]

[...] I’ve thought of trying to find another place to paint, especially for the larger works I plan to do, but not of leaving her. [...]

[...] This is not some dry academic undertaking, but a matter of intense personal activities on both of your parts. [...]

[...] But I regret seeing what may be chances of help being passed by, and these feelings are, I’m afraid, based on our lack of specific knowledge. [...]

It can be frightening, but he is conquering that with your help. [...]

[...] So are the oils, but anything that adds further trauma to a meal should be avoided. [...]

(Long pause at 8:35.) I want you to keep your minds open, however, also, not to automatically dismiss any move to Sayre or environs, but to see yourselves supported in whatever moves you make. [...]

[...] At the time I thought the brief appearance a little odd, but when it developed that Timothy Foote wouldn’t be staying for supper, as we had planned, Seth’s appearance made good sense.

[...] They will (in quotes) “want to believe” Seagull and its story, for example, but they will not come from any homogenous background of acceptance, necessarily. [...]

For Timothy individually and personally what happened here, little as it was, is not only important to him, but in terms of continuity ties in with the earlier Lourdes interest, and picks up a thread that has run throughout his life. [...]

[...] It is not meant as a reflection on Seagull therefore, but on the various ways in which different people will receive such information.
