“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I did not expect a session to follow the discussion, but at 10:15 Jane announced she could hold one. [...]

His own inner belief in the sessions was strong, and is still strong, but the other conflict continued. [...]

He is highly skeptical of AA, when he tries to consider him as an individual person, but is perfectly content to think of him as a force. [...]

[...] Often he simply distrusts what he feels, but the feeling is primary. [...]

[...] To some extent they must be present at birth, but they can still escape any full identification with the born infant. They hover within and about the form, but half reluctantly. [...]

[...] But then such events in our own lives have influenced every other chapter in the book, too. [...]

[...] It is particularly dependent upon emotional characteristics — not necessarily of the last incarnated self, but the emotional tensions present as a result of a group of past existences.

Between lives an individual may see flashes of the future existence, not necessarily of particular events, but experience the essence of the new relationship and in expectation remind himself of the challenge he has set. [...]

[...] The adoption of the arthritis symptoms did have some mother identification, but also they were adopted simply because they were symptoms with which Ruburt was familiar. [...]

[...] But he became more immobile, you see.

(“Yes, but you’d never know it, watching him.”)

[...] He was pleased with the raise on a conscious level, but felt it blood money.

[...] These were connected with the past, but only in so far as the distrust grew there. But the lack of trust is the important issue.

[...] Not in such a manner that illness would result therein, or, say, diseased organs, but only so far as function was concerned.

[...] You do not love detail for detail’s sake, for example, but you can overreact strongly in such areas.

[...] This scene will change not necessarily because of any particular effort to reenact the scene differently imaginatively, but because of the overall “as if” game. [...]

Seldom, but sometimes, an individual may send a personality fragment image into another level of existence entirely, even without his own knowledge. [...] The type of fragment your friend saw was something like this latter personality image, but so disconnected from your friend, and so absent-mindedly was it sent upon its travels, that its information was probably passed directly to the entity which your friend represents.

[...] But the pointer began to move.

In a sense all things could be called fragments, but there are different kinds. [...]

[...] In a physical sense this board is a projection of wood or a tree, but in this case the board has less properties than the parent tree. [...]

[...] [This would be about 1922.] On a windy day on the prairie, somewhere west of the Mississippi, but short of the West Coast, I stood by a hill with my parents. [...] I had had attacks before, but after this incident I had hay fever each year. [...]

[...] Seth’s manner was quite energetic, the voice on the strong side but not really loud. [...]

[...] But Ruburt still needs to develop his abilities further, Seth said. [...]

[...] He said the monks use psychic energy, which all of us have available; but they don’t use it for any great ends, and thus are shallow.

[...] “I can tell the muscles want to do it, but all of them aren’t ready yet. [...] But I pointed out that her right leg is already down a couple of inches. [...]

[...] But she did well indeed. [...]

[...] The performance didn’t last long, but she seemed to expend a lot of effort in the motions. [...]

[...] But I am, as I mentioned earlier, present at other levels of activity connected with yourselves, whether I speak or not. [...]

[...] The cellular signals were sent out, but you could have reacted to them in any given number of ways once you received them. [...] But the fears you had set about the situation prevented that easy translation. [...]

[...] I don’t recall seeing any antlers on the mature animals, but could have missed them. [...]

Actually, Ruburt had thought of calling before, but also did not for fear of aggravating your own situation. [...]

(“I had a few from last night’s session, but this clears them up. [...]

[...] The problem will be solved by mankind indeed; but mankind is composed of reincarnational entities. [...]

[...] And if personalities refuse to inhabit a new body, then no science will be able to give life to the newly formed but uninhabited body.

It is a period of great activity, telepathic communication, an overcrowding physically, but forces great new developments and a new synthesis, and this is your present situation. [...]

[...] The individual will find himself surrounded by more stimuli than he knows what to do with—but using this as impetus he will learn to handle it, using portions of the brain that now lie latent.

[...] If, using that example, you suddenly begin to realize your position and begin to express your love to your children directly, you may find them quite surprised, delighted but confused. It may take them a while to understand your reactions, but as the old reality had a cohesiveness so will the new.

[...] I hadn’t really expected her to have a session tonight — but then, was my belief influencing reality? [...]

[...] I will say more about this later in the book, but it explains for example why a diet-watcher, suddenly determined to lose weight, may meet with veiled or even open resistance from family or friends; why the person who makes new resolutions may find himself baffled by associates’ ridicule; why the alcoholic trying not to drink finds others tempting him quite openly, or teasing him into indulgence by hidden tactics.

[...] As an example, you may believe that you want to understand the nature of your inner self — you may tell yourself you want to remember your dreams, but at the same time still hold a belief in the basic unworthiness of the self, and be quite frightened of remembering your dreams because of what you might find there.

[...] Father Doren was seen as a spontaneous but evil man. Father Ryan was seen as rigid and uncompromising, but good. [...]

[...] This session appears to be basic, but perhaps parts pertaining to me were blocked, to spare my feelings? [...]

[...] It never admitted the possibility of failure, but only worked toward success.

[...] This portion considered itself not only unworthy but evil. [...]

[...] Jane saw no flames, she said, but “it was all hazy, like smoke... I don’t know, but I don’t feel good about it right now.” [...]

[...] You are welcome to them but that is up to you.

[...] It is true that thoughts form reality, but the thoughts are like passengers, riding atop of emotional feelings, or feeling-tones. [...]

[...] We will be writing other books, but never in such a way that you must plunge from one into another. [...]

[...] The envelope is addressed to Jane and me, “yourself and Ruburt,” but we do not particularly see where “afternoon” comes in. [...] “A border” regarding the test object does not ring a bell, but “Horizontal lines that are similar to each other,” are the postmark cancellation lines. [...]

[...] Note the error, 1985, in the postmark; I thought Seth might comment on this but he did not. [...]

To some extent I have explored some of this, but it will do you well to join wholeheartedly into the very necessary spirit of the time, for it is constructive and most beneficial. [...]

[...] She used pauses but all in all her pace was not particularly slow. [...]

[...] But this feeling of jealousy prevents you from using consciously what you have gained. [...] But you could use more.

[...] There is some instability of elements this evening, having to do with a natural, overall change taking place in Ruburt—a beneficial one, I add hastily (humorously); but his system is in a state of change.

[...] The question is not intended as criticism, but merely to get information that can be developed more fully later.”)

(This gave rise to another question, which I did not ask but will note here: Seth has said on occasion that Jane was too close, too emotionally involved with data to answer clearly, and that it is then best to wait. [...]

[...] But it will be given in simpler terms. [...]

[...] Some will intuitively understand the material far better than others who may grasp it intellectually but without emotional comprehension.

[...] The audience for that particular book may be somewhat more limited, but it will be a fascinating endeavor; and in it I will hope to present a multidimensional theory of morality for those too sophisticated to accept any longer outdated concepts concerning the God concept.

[...] His ego is (underlined) a kind one, but the structure of any ego is such that it considers, or can consider easily, psychic ability as a sign of its own power; or feel possessive of the ability, and overly proud of it, even when it knows it originates in other layers of the self. [...]

[...] But it would be part of our natural way of looking at the world — a way that has been overlaid by our belief in the “rational” way of doing things. [...] But I thought there would be things in each person’s life that could be used as guideposts, to a magical kind of orientation. [...]

[...] In the meantime I’d read over the 17 chapters of my unfinished novel, Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time, and looked over groups of notes for possible books, but nothing hit the spot. [...]

[...] A change of balance — a vital but usually-hidden psychic action that instantly changed me and the afternoon.

[...] That went without saying, but the way of relating to life would be completely different too; the way of dealing with problems or health difficulties; of achieving goals and so forth would be drastically different. [...]

[...] The body is responding, but not in the ways that you necessarily think it should. You recognize improvements, but you do not see him walking better, and you are not pleased, either of you, with his vision; though it shows that great activity is going on, and that there have been improvements there also.

[...] Her vision was somewhat better, but still I was concerned. [...]

[...] There are obviously many patterns—some prominent and some subordinate, but they all work, often invisibly, adding up to seeming coincidences.

[...] She didn’t know where; but Ryerson told her that while over there he’d heard that Jane and I had bought a house in Spain and were moving over there. [...]

[...] Even then, you might not recall the dream, but the situation itself as it comes to your attention might make you check your tires, decide to put off your trip, or instead lead you to inner speculations about whether you are going too fast in a certain direction for your own good at this time. But you will get the dream’s message.”

[...] Jonestown was far away, remote in another land, I said to Jane, but the potential mass tragedy at Three Mile Island hovers at the edges of our personal worlds. [...]

[...] But I’ve got a couple of points to make….

The Christ drama is a case in point, where private and mass dreams were then projected outward into the historical context of time, and then reacted to in such a way that various people became exterior participants — but in a far larger mass dream that was then interpreted in the most literal of physical terms. [...]

[...] This excessive dependence can be done away with eventually, but at considerable sacrifice. [...] But once it’s largely self-sufficient, the United States could really begin to fulfill its role of leadership in the world.

[...] Local milk supplies are safe to drink, since dairy cattle are eating corn and hay that’s been stored for months, but no one really knows the effects of radiation on the unborn calves being carried by many cows in the plant area. [...]

(“I haven’t had too much time to think of questions, but today we were talking about the relationships between Jonestown and Three Mile Island — how those two events stand for the extremes of religion and science.” [...]

“Man thinks of acts, for example, and acting and doing, but he does not identify himself with those inner processes that make acting and doing possible. [...]

Information flows through the universe at such a rate and in such quantities that you could not possibly process any but a small portion of it.

[...] Alphabets imply cordellas, but cannot contain them, any more than English can contain Russian, French, Chinese, or any combination. [...]

[...] Your formation of events, however, does not simply reside in your unique psychological properties, of course, but is possible because of the corporal alphabet of the flesh.

(11:22.) While you can only speak one sentence at a time, and in but one language, and while that sentence must be sounded one vowel or syllable at a time, still it is the result of a kind of circular knowledge or experience in which the sentence’s beginning and end is known simultaneously. [...]
