“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] That blockage may still allow a kind of displacement targeting, however, in which case inner abilities are allowed to operate, but in a rather sabotaged way—not hitting the target with which the conscious mind is so familiar or concentrated upon, but hitting another microscopic target instead, in which effects are then noticeable. [...]

[...] The conscious mind is quite willing to let go in that regard, for art not only provides it with enjoyment but fulfills its own framework of action. It does not regard art as a game, exactly, but it does not expect the same rules to apply, either, to a painted apple on a canvas and a real one. [...]

[...] One even took us to task for “obscenities” in Volume 2 of “Unknown.” Jane and I have been talking about how best to deal with the implications of the mail—it often bothers her—but haven’t reached any conclusions. [...]

[...] “I can lean back somewhat—but I’m always the most uncomfortable in the chair. [...]

[...] I don’t recall any strong inner image of the interior of a body, but at the same time I know I have thought of this recently.)

[...] But it must be protected. [...]

[...] During break I told Jane I had a couple of questions for Seth, but would wait to ask them until he said all right. [...]

[...] Acceleration or de-acceleration, you see, but mentally. [...]

[...] James had been thought of, but Ruburt certainly had no idea he would, or could, possibly write a book on painting.

[...] Ruburt had written books before—but Ruburt has walked before also.

[...] It sets into motion all kinds of not only possible but rousing sentiments that of themselves have a restoring quality.

(“Well, I’ve got questions, but I don’t know whether he wants to continue or not. [...]

(Jane experienced a remarkable release from symptoms, but even so her neck was not fully released, as she determined by testing. She had done some yoga this afternoon, but she didn’t think this had anything to do with the present state.

(Jane and I sat for the session as usual on Monday, May 5, but it was not held. [...]

[...] She told me that at various times Seth was around during the evening while we waited, but never did come through.

[...] But with the bed now out further toward the center of the room, with space on either side of it you see, so it is open and is not against the wall. [...]

Now, he realizes this much more than he did, but the mental and muscular habit of cautiousness carries over. [...]

[...] Once he runs he can improve on the running, but he can no longer consider himself someone incapable of running. [...]

[...] These are simply practical but important sideline exercises that will help break down specific detrimental images that he has. [...]

[...] Now it is true that initially the motion was made in his mind, and accepted, but the will can also be used to initiate such actions. [...]

[...] There are definite sounds produced when messages leap from your nerve ends.² It is very difficult to explain some of this, but there is “invisible” light, then, and inaudible sound, that affects your body and helps form the pattern about which it constantly emerges.

This is done by translating exterior stimuli into interior stimuli, but the physical carriers of the data are all that scientists or physicians have been able to follow thus far. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance had developed into quite a profound one but, typically, she was soon out of it. [...]

Consciously you react to the physical data — the noise, the squeal of brakes perhaps, the visual shock of seeing the car so close, but the entire inner reality of that scene or event is instantly “recognized” by what I refer to as your inner senses. [...]

Give us a moment… Your universe did not emerge at any one point, therefore, or with any one initial cell — but everywhere it began to exist at once, as the inner pulsations of the invisible universe reached certain intensities that “impregnated” the entire physical system simultaneously.

[...] Yet in much of my material I have definitely implied what I am saying now, but the implications must have passed you by.

[...] It is according to your relative position, but the physical universe was everywhere seeded, impregnated, simultaneously. [...]

[...] I do not mean that they love or hate, in your terms, but that they are aware of their own separateness, and aware of the ways in which that separateness cooperates to form other organizations.

[...] Survival in your system is strongly dependent upon the highly specialized, focused, limited but specific organizational qualities of the ego. It should not be rigid but it should not be purposely torn apart, nor weakened.

The root assumptions that govern physical reality are indeed valid, but within physical reality alone. [...]

The fact that this does occur does show that the systems of perception are not basically biologically a form of overall structure however, but learned secondary responses. [...]

[...] Development of the inner senses is a much more effective method of perceiving other realities, and followed correctly, the ego is not only stronger but more flexible, and consciousness even of physical reality is increased. [...]

(This data was not as wholly precise as we would like, but we made the connections we could. [...] But we feel that more than enough points were made to establish that Seth/Jane had picked up the correct scent. [...]

[...] But the paper the object is manufactured from is a bright yellow, and the yellow is printed upon with blue ink. [...] But in this case the blue ink is so dense and strong that it prints as blue on the object. [...]

[...] A man with short gray hair, somewhat portly, but with a boyish-type face. [...]

[...] But I do not believe you are finished with Ward and his friends. [...]

[...] Georgia had brought the menus for the week, but I didn’t get time to fill out all of them. [...]

[...] Some of her motions were a bit stronger, but not violent by any means today. [...]

[...] It helped, but the worry must have persisted, for I ended up taking soda at about 11:00. [...]

[...] She agreed, but I could tell that any larger implications there escaped her, and I didn’t press the point. [...]

[...] In some ancient cultures, drugs were indeed utilized in such a manner, but their use was well understood — and more importantly, their use was socially acceptable. [...]

[...] I am not saying that drugs alone will cause suicide, but that the psychology of drugs already includes an attitude that promotes a Russian-roulette kind of mentality, that can only add to the problem.

[...] The word “abandon” itself may strike some readers as particularly strong, but each element of nature abandons itself to the lifeform. [...]

This feeling of abandoning oneself to the power and force of one’s own life does not lead to a mental segregation, but instead allows the self to sense the part that it plays in the creative drama of a universe. [...]

(“I hadn’t planned on asking about this this afternoon — but lately I’ve noticed that my close-up vision without glasses isn’t as sharp as it used to be. [...] It’s nothing drastic, but enough to be bothersome at times. [...]

[...] Valid enough, perhaps, but lacking original insight and individuality like the Seth material has.

[...] “I’d like it to be quicker, but I know they are.”)

[...] Readers will benefit in various fashions, according to their own conditions and intents, but every reader will benefit to some degree or another — and each reader will become reacquainted with those inner springs of vitality and well-being that are so important in human experience.

[...] [In the early sessions, incidentally, Seth used the word “plane” often, but not long afterward began the general changeover to “reality,” which for the most part we like better. [...]

The strange thing about your flying saucers is not that they appear, but that you can see them. [...]

At a later date I may go into the inhabitants of [those planes] more thoroughly, but as it is I am not very much acquainted with them myself.¹

[...] A plane may be one planet, but a plane may also exist where no planet is. [...]

[...] It may not have been much, but a yeoman’s son in the past would always be a yeoman’s son. [...] He might be a good yeoman or a poor one, but a yeoman he was. [...]

(“But now where’s all that stuff I was picking up from Seth today?” she demanded. [...]

(It’s difficult to describe, but Jane’s voice in trance was pitched a bit lower than it usually is. [...]

[...] In a way, this is an extension of last evening’s session, but the art connection is important. [...]

[...] But portions of these spirals coincide, and in this analogy the spirals of action not only have those dimensions which you understand, but other dimensions with which you are not yet familiar.

It is always within this framework, but not always does it maintain the same relative position within it. [...] It is realized that the personality manipulates within the physical universe, but the fact is not generally accepted that similar manipulations must be made within this dream universe.

(Jane has been practicing psychological time regularly, but reports that she has achieved little besides her usual excellent state. [...]

In many cases these problems are not those belonging to the ego, but to other layers of the self. [...]

[...] In a quite natural manner, all of those involved not only chose the situation but helped in the “healing” process that still continues (over eleven months later). But you can no more separate yourselves from the body of the earth and its condition than you can from your own bodies.

[...] But they were not “looking for” a disaster.¹

[...] But it was Joseph who suggested that Ruburt “tune in” to discover what could be learned about their situation personally.

[...] The bridge a mere half a block away would collapse, but they would be safe as long as they did not panic and try to leave.

[...] In my school days I did not have a drawing table, but worked bent over at a card table in the front upstairs room, with a small drawing board in my lap, resting on the edge of the card table. [...] Jane has been in the room many times of course, but did not know the particular circumstances of my working just described.

I do not want to go into this particularly this evening, but mention it because of the recent activities. [...]

On one occasion you were 12, and on another in very young manhood, perhaps 17, but in your last year of school in any case.

[...] You very clearly picked up the thoughts, convinced yourself that imagination was involved, but knew very well it was not.

[...] It is purposeful, highly (underlined) discriminating, performed by the inner conscious ego, of which the exterior ego is but a shadow, and not you see the other way around. [...]

The conscious ego rises indeed out of quote “the unconscious,” but the unconscious being the creator of the ego, is necessarily far more conscious than its offspring. [...]

[...] The inner self is obviously not only conscious, but conscious of itself, both as an individuality apart from others, and as an individuality that is a part of all other consciousness.

[...] There is unity then but no sense of apartness. [...]

I am indeed aware of many of the events in both of your lives, but it is relatively simple for me to so acquaint myself with your situations. I am willing at any time to render whatever services I can so render, but I do not walk ghostily through your rooms; and most certainly I do not peek through the windows.

[...] Her pace was rather fast but I had no trouble keeping up with her; nor did Lorraine, using shorthand.

[...] There have been some other instances of a voice deeper but not necessarily much louder or stronger; my estimate is that she reached her deepest voice in the 33rd session, of March 9,1964. [...]

[...] But spontaneity will as always remain a prerequisite for any such displays.

Such images are constructed of emotional energy, but they also are partially formed from the chemical structure of the individual or individuals behind such productions. [...] The impetus is emotional, and the pseudoframework is formed of emotional energy, but the image itself must be built up in part of physical components, and these must come from somewhere.

[...] It is highly unusual, but possible, according to the strength of the psychic discontent, that the consciousness could then split itself up, some residing in the new image.

[...] In many cases they do not cause a disease, but are the result of it. [...]

He is in the process of freeing himself, but the assurances from you can quicken the process considerably. [...]
