“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Not in your physical time, but within the next hundred years, that time may come... [...] but when it comes, and if it comes soon it will come as a miracle. [...]

[...] We will have some long sessions dealing with this matter, but I tell you all now—no good will come of violence. [...]

[...] It may occur, but those who indulge in violence are themselves changed, and the purity of their purpose adulterated. [...]

[...] In Personal Reality I stressed many of these points for our readers, but you yourselves forget to apply them in that one important area of your lives. The last sessions managed to rearouse your faith, but you yourselves must tend it, as indeed, Joseph, you tend your plants. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

To some extent the perspective one, two, three material is related to Frameworks 1 and 2, for the symbols of your mind grow in their own fashion, changing shape and form, but following the emotional content rather faithfully. [...]

[...] From some of these viewpoints, your physical matter has little or no permanency, while to others your own thoughts have a shape and form, perceived by observers but not by yourselves.

[...] But they should be questions from you rather than questions posed by me. [...]

[...] You may organize the questions under headings, but you need not do so. [...]

[...] Jane was still in trance but didn’t appear to be bothered. [...]

(I had prepared a test envelope to give to Jane during the 181st session, of August 25, but did not do so because of the short session. When the envelope was not used I did not mention it to her, but saved it for tonight’s session. [...]

[...] Her eyes had remained closed, her voice quiet but fast. [...]

[...] Distance is then seen in its true light, not in relation to physical space but in its basic relationship to emotional intensity. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that a sense of time may or may not be interwoven in any given dream sequence, but you as the dreamer are not conscious of the physical hours that pass as you sleep.

[...] It was necessary because he believed that the spontaneous self, left alone, would not so concentrate—or that his spontaneous self would not, but would also be tempted by whatever other private pursuits. That belief built up a body of habits so that even when he made headway in changing the basic belief at least, he was left with beliefs about the body that were secondary but habitual; beliefs shared by each of you about his body, so that the evidence was always present.

His eyes did not freely roam, but followed the limited head motions. [...] He allowed himself no leeway, or very little, and in that framework the body was limited but predictable.

[...] It resulted however in an operable but limited fashion with all of the muscles tightened and restricted to some degree, the original tension being applied to the head and neck area.

(On her regular Friday-afternoon visit, Peggy and Jane and I waited for Roe, who was scheduled to visit—but Roe, mysteriously, never showed up. [...] I didn’t ask Seth to comment, but should have. [...]

[...] I’d told Jane to use suggestion so that she wouldn’t be bothered by whatever Roe might say, but suspected that Roe would want Dr. Kardon to examine the bedsores, and probably this would lead to a demand that Jane would go back into the hospital. [...]

(10:39.) Now: when you work through such an episode as this weekend’s bout, then you gain an individual but also joint confidence in your ability to do so—a very important point, a very intimate and vital way of dealing with your joint reactions. [...]

[...] You do not have to pretend they are not there, but know that the increased motion, and new psychic motion, will take care of the situation. [...]

[...] But in your terms the child entering the real woods becomes involved in its life cycle, treads upon leaves that fell yesterday, rests beneath trees far older than his or her memory, and looks up at night to see a moon that will soon disappear. Looking at an illustration of the woods may give a child some excellent imaginative experiences, but they will be of a different kind, and the child knows the difference.

[...] But beyond this, the species itself possesses the possibilities for adaptations that allow it to exist and persist in the physical environment under drastically varying circumstances. [...]

[...] This would not be a static elongation, however, but a vivid delving into that moment, from which all time as you think of it, past and future and all its probabilities, might emerge.

[...] The reality of your own being cannot be defined by anyone but you, and then your own definition must be understood as a reference point at best. [...]

[...] Such cleaning has always been very painful for her because of heavy tartar deposits, but today she withstood an hour’s heavy scraping with practically no discomfort.

[...] She has felt this jolting before, for instance on April 28,1964, and on April 30,1964, just before her “Saratoga experience”, but not recently. [...]

I have explained through which layer of the subconscious I come, but my origin has nothing to do with any portion of Ruburt’s subconscious, not even those vast areas beneath the personal subconscious.

[...] These are indeed questions that I could answer for you, but again, I prefer that you establish this intimate working relationship with your own personal subconscious. [...]

[...] My hands were held by Jane on my left and Bill on my right, but Bill passed his free right hand beneath Jane’s hand to see that it was actually rising and was not an illusion. [...] I do not know.] But laughing, Seth told us plainly that when we had attained more proficiency, he would materialize a fully independent hand for us. [...]

[...] But by moving my arm, I discovered I could make this light wink on and off; it was simply red reflection from the candle. [...]

[...] I began to ask questions aloud, at random, searching for a presence or a sign, but I did not direct them at Seth. [...]

[...] But you have no idea of what you’re asking, of how difficult it is…”

[...] “Earlier I felt the stuff around from Seth, but also from me too,” she said. “But I don’t know. [...] I feel him around, but it won’t be too long.” [...]

[...] In later years, as books were finished, the matter of publicity would rise anew, but his relative success meant that the issues stayed in the air, so to speak. Your discussion reminded him of how he used to be (pause), and also brought up in his mind the seeming contradictions of creativity, in that it is private, but usually ends up as some kind of public expression. [...]

(But the dream, innocuous as it seemed to be, carried a big charge. [...]

(“You don’t have to go into it now, but will you discuss the mail situation and the idea of responsibility?”)

[...] Jane has been spending most of her time lately using the pendulum, making notes, reading old sessions on herself and myself, etc, but presently I see all this activity as repeating old rhythms. We’ve talked about it a lot lately, but...? [...]

2.) Three times a week, hot towels should be applied to the knees, and this will help his legs—but also clear up his head. I am not going into the physical reasons here, but this will be most beneficial. [...]

[...] They were not considered beneficial in themselves—but only if they could be practically used as a way of making a living. [...]

[...] There was work involved in the typing of manuscripts, hours spent, but the success itself was the result of your individual and joint intuitive creativity, curiosity, your sense of challenge and more adventure.

[...] But I still can’t tell you just how I do it.”)

[...] In a manner of speaking, three-dimensional objects are formed in somewhat the same way that the images you see on your television screen are formed, but with a large difference. [...]

[...] Now whenever you think emotionally of another person, you send out a counterpart of yourself, beneath the intensity of matter, but a definite form. [...]

(At 9:56, though, as she sat waiting to go back into trance, Jane said, “Either I’m tired tonight, or the house is getting to me, but now it’s harder to get going….” [...]

[...] He has done so again but without admitting the fact. [...] (pause) not necessarily a blockage, but a misunderstanding.... [...]

[...] It needs to be lovingly protected; but lovingly, not hindered nor fought nor held down.

[...] Hence the Pollyanna attitude at times, a desperate attempt to cover up thoughts that are spontaneous, but that are considered evil by the conscientious self.

[...] But also moral encouragement can be given in dreams.

[...] No one can be you but you. There are communications at other levels, but your experience of existence is completely original, to be treasured.

[...] But Seth continued with his material on the behavior of our species, even while bringing Psyche to a close.)

[...] That reality contributes to the experience of others, but each of you possesses a unique, original stance in space and time that is yours alone in quite practical terms, regardless of time’s relative existence.

[...] To add your own energy, focus, and concentration to dire circumstances in other portions of the world does not help, but adds to, such situations.

[...] The addition, however, brought with it a new sense of responsibility—not just to make money, but as his writings continued he wanted his creative work to be “responsible” and he began to discover that others, so it seemed, were all too ready to latch upon what he almost considered magical inspirational productions, and to follow them with very literal minds. So then his creative endeavors not only had to bring in money, but they had to be good, moral, responsible, for they were becoming part of a body of work.

The soreness lately at night will pass, but as he sleeps this week the shoulder blades and rib cage and neck area have all been stretching. The sensations are one thing, and again the bodybuilder has his coach, but if Ruburt awakens sore, with you asleep, he can feel isolated.

[...] They can be better equated with colors—some dark, some light, but all in all beyond such classifications as morality.

Before, you did not believe those abilities could protect themselves, but needed you as stern parents to protect them from the world, and even from their own spontaneity.

Dream 2—Don’t recall the beginning but it was in a huge amphitheater and there was a picture in great color on a giant screen to the left. [...] Pat went on along the ledge to where it met the front wall but I was frightened of falling and stayed where I was with the young man who was my companion, When Pat reached that point, the young man who was her companion did something.... [...]

[...] A nice old man, sort of a kindly bum, came by and told me father had made it two hours before his death so that I’d have some inheritance; and the old man might have had a key that worked it; I’m not sure; but there was something about a key.... [...]

[...] He needs encouragement, but then he will respond to it as a duck to water.

[...] Some loving, gentle but firm encouragement and practice on the stairs would be of help, and definitely a concentration upon achievements in any area rather than on failures.

(But I didn’t.

[...] But tonight, since it was getting late and I had doubts about my ability to keep up with the dictation, I thought it better that we pass up the chance. [...] John offered to leave, but I said aloud that we’d rather wait for our regular session time.

[...] But the feeling soon left.)

Self-consciousness entered in very shortly after, but not what you are pleased to call human self-consciousness. [...]

[...] The consciousness of being human in your terms was fully developed in the caveman, but—and I cannot emphasize this enough—the human conception was alive in the fish.

[...] Halting at first, but she picked up considerable speed as she went along, better than I thought she would do. “It’s not my best, but....” [...]

[...] The hands are also improving—not only in flexibility, but in strength. [...]

[...] But I am indeed present and approachable. [...]

(Both of us were looking forward to some private material we’d asked for earlier today; Jane already “knew” that Seth would give it tonight, but first she wanted some dictation on Chapter Twenty. [...]

[...] The dream world exists in terms of energy also, of course, but simply at ranges that are not physically obvious. [...]

[...] When you do this you will see that the dreaming “I” and the waking “I” are one, but operating in entirely different environments. [...]

[...] Spread out before you in great profusion, you will find not only any problems but their solutions.
