“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Everything was working, but in a very restricted fashion as far as locomotion was concerned. [...] It was inactive, in that it was operating, but nowhere near a good efficiency level, again, as far as locomotion was concerned.

[...] I want to stress that Ruburt’s body is responding remarkably well, and that it is not a matter of operating better in a restricted posture, but a much more significant response, in which the body is, quite simply, straightening itself out. [...]

[...] But a month or so ago he did not feel those desires.

The Neuman adventure shows the high activity in Framework 2 for Oversoul Seven, but is also an offshoot of your own new feelings of hope regarding Ruburt’s situation. [...]

[...] The color of you walls can influence your state of mind—a simple-enough fact; but the uses to which you put words, both silent and verbal, affect the state of your mind far more.

[...] The expressions come and go but certain habitual patterns remain.

[...] This often has nothing to do with numbers of words, but emotionally charged words. [...]

If he left himself alone work-wise there would be plenty of accomplishment, but he does not believe this. [...]

[...] You have not really gotten it through your head that such thoughts do not represent practical reality, but impractical reality. But the main problem is the dilemma caused by the difference between the ideal and a feared, opposing actuality.

When Ruburt as an individual sought to heal himself, and at the same time sought to divest himself of traditional methods of healing, such as doctors and so forth, he embarked upon a journey through his own beliefs—but also through the beliefs of your own culture. [...] Again, your discussion about the dentist was vital to him, because he finally understood his attitudes—not only in that area but others; and in those areas, no matter what he told himself, he was afraid that the worst was really happening, or would happen.

[...] It seems not only as money taken from you, or from Ruburt, which annoys you more, since you think he worked so hard for it—but worst of all, the money is being spent to promote national stupidities of distorted beliefs, to which you are diametrically opposed.

[...] It does, as Ruburt thinks often, support other poor but gifted youngsters, and poor and ungifted youngsters (with amusement). [...]

[...] Tonight Jane assumed I would want Seth to talk about my parents, but I told her Seth could discuss anything he wanted to. [...]

The man that is left, your father, will be agitated, but then he will feel peaceful. [...]

[...] The whole personality who left is aware of the situation, but he is not vitally concerned. [...]

[...] The vitality of the fragment personality but hints at the overall vitality of the whole self involved.

[...] There are hormonal and chemical changes occurring in the body — often at minute but important levels — in direct response to dream experience. [...] There are also coded biological connections within dream images themselves that relate to cellular activity — not generally, but specifically.

[...] As he promised he’d do early in this work, Seth himself does “set the scene” now and then by mentioning our activities, but obviously — and rightly — he’s more interested in delivering his material. [...]

[...] Such events are not lost, however, but translated into dreams as your own consciousness returns closer to its “home base.” [...]

As a continent does not exist alone, but also in relationship to other physical formations, so in your terms you form events so that they fit into a mass framework. [...]

[...] He had to show that he had psychic abilities, but that he was in control of them. [...]

Ruburt has emphasized the intellect’s critical qualities, so that they serve as an impetus to lead him to this opening that he knows exists, though he only senses it so far, and has experienced it but briefly. [...]

[...] Some intellects weary quicker than others, or quickly use up, say, a fairly limited scope, but Ruburt’s has been restless and stubborn.

I am not making judgments now, but showing reactions—so the two of you hid the sessions from the beginning, for example. [...]

[...] He determined to discipline himself much more carefully from then on, but from this point he threw himself wholeheartedly, for two lives, into lives of great restraint and overcontrol.

[...] The personality regards this as a challenge of the highest order, but strains naturally develop.

Now we are going to give you a short break, but we will leave our friend in abeyance. [...]

[...] At first she said nothing, but eventually we carried on a brief conversation, without any emphasis.

[...] Something—pressure in my head maybe keeps changing—the bottoms of my feet feel woozy; they throb gently; so does my neck; my breath deepens, ears feel funny—was going to walk around the house or do some other writing but for now at least I’ll have to go along with... [...] this all continues; I feel a twinge of guilt—Rob’s typing reminds me that I was to do my three hours—but this IS writing; cataloging body-mood changes; I want to sketch the men working—eyes, sinuses, ears and neck strongly “working.” [...]

[...] Contemplate going further, to porch, but Stamps are out there and I don’t feel like chatting. [...]

[...] Driving downtown is stimulating to Ruburt, but he should not feel out of it at such times, or concentrate upon the comparison between his present and the desired state. [...] You must begin to change your mode of thinking, but it will automatically change as you remember what I said about creativity, and stop worrying, both of you. [...]

[...] It is not just that the universe knows you as you, but that you carry within yourself a knowledge of the universe also, and an innate, intimate, though unconscious, feeling of relationship, and a certain sense of identity with that cosmic heritage. [...]

[...] That meaningfulness is not only of good intent, but of superlative intent, seeking the greatest possible development and fulfillment of all of its parts. [...]

[...] The power that moves the world does not come from the world, but at each moment comes into the world. [...]

[...] But I want you to see yourselves opening that door and walking through. [...]

Now I want you to continue onward and in your mind visualize, if you prefer, still another door or a path or an avenue, or an alley, or a street, or a landscape; but still another reality that opens adjacently from this one. [...]

And now I am going to ask you to return slowly back through these dimensions, pausing but briefly. [...]

[...] And these lessons serve you well, and what you learn goes out from you in all directions and each triumph that you make is not yours alone, but reaches even into those dimensions of which I have spoken. [...]

[...] They mix and merge the inner, unseen but felt, eternal psychic experience of man with the temporal events of his physical days, and form a combination that structures thoughts and beliefs from civilization to civilization. [...] That interaction includes not only man, of course, but the emotional reality of all earthly consciousnesses as well, from a microbe to a scholar, from a frog to a star. [...]

(Seth’s statement at the end of dictation for the 815th session, “I will try to begin work on our book in a more predictable fashion,” reflected his good intent, but things didn’t turn out that way. [...]

[...] Man’s psyche, however, is emotionally not only a part of his physical environment, but intimately connected with all of nature’s manifestations. [...]

Myth is not a distortion of fact, but the womb through which fact must come. [...]

[...] Secondary effects of such realities may appear in material form, but the original reality of such experiences cannot be captured within physical matter.

[...] She looked at me wordlessly as I walked toward the door, but before I reached it I heard her say, “I’m all right now.”

[...] After the boy had gone Jane said his knock stopped her delivery abruptly, but that she did not come out of the light trance quickly enough to go immediately to the door. [...]

[...] You do create it, but it is also to some degree independent of you. [...]

[...] Two weeks of this went for our vacation, but otherwise we’ve been very busy. [...]

A suicide may bring about his own death because he rejects existence on any but highly specific terms chosen by himself. [...]

[...] The individual knows quite well that he is dead in your terms, but he refuses to complete the psychic separation.

[...] It is not a matter of refusing to accept it, but a lack of perception. [...]

Now I may again return or not return, according to those rhythms of which I have been speaking —but in any case I am still present, as I recently explained. [...]

[...] But that’s okay—anything is okay that leads to an expansion of her physical activity. [...]

I am not comparing the body to a computer—but in a fashion it is as if Ruburt were reprogramming himself, with help from higher echelons of his being, so that a kind of new and more effective and beneficial organization is being activated, in which old errors were cancelled, and new knowledge is inserted. [...]

Again, I may or may not return, but I wanted to give you this last bit of material, for I think it will help you understand the new ongoing processes that are now taking place. [...]

We will resume dictation for now — but I always do keep your personal concerns in mind.

[...] The conscious mind is one brilliant segment of your larger consciousness, but it is composed of the same universal energy and vitality that composes all consciousness. [...]

[...] It was not, for example, precognitive, but it did inform you — using images and feelings — of the picture that was sometimes painted in different terms by your conscious thoughts. [...]

[...] She did read a little better today, without her glasses, but I still ended up reading the last session to her.

[...] This has nothing to do with so-called psychic phenomena, but the natural growth and development of a personality whenever it tries to go beyond its space and time context, and takes a challenge of such a nature.

[...] When the new sensed reality is strong enough to provide not only greater comprehensions but also to construct a new framework, then the old framework is seen as limiting, and discarded.

They represented parts of his own psyche, still, at that level of consciousness, not having quite assimilated the greater knowledge or experience, so he felt he needed protection—the protection that would beautifully, cleverly and insidiously serve all of his purposes, allowing him to go ahead as he wanted to, but with control drawn back to the body’s discontent. [...]

[...] Your attending class, and hence symbolically standing with him as he relates this greater understanding, not distantly but to individual encountered human beings—a good point, important on your part, for you have never before been willing to encounter others at such a direct level.

[...] The small but frequent breaks in the fine lines represent those times when the resentments break through. [...]

[...] This may or may not mean leaving the job, but it will mean a new awareness of all the issues involved, and your attitudes. [...]

[...] But I will help you.

Now we will end the session but I will have more to say as you ask me.

But you also feared the opposite, that she would disrupt a status quo that was highly delicate. Unpleasant but bearable, and that the resulting situation would be pure chaos and disruption. [...]

[...] But he is doing so, and energy is being released and is available to him, that was not available earlier.

[...] You wanted a fulfillment indeed, that would of course have physical repercussions in three-dimensional terms, but that was not primarily physical.

You wanted something that your work provides, but in a different fashion. [...]

The willing fingers and good intent, yes, but the active focus of your energies was not here. [...]

[...] He or she consumes energy quickly, but that energy is like a receiving center for the energy of the survival personality operating.

[...] Working on the second floor, Bill had several times heard footsteps on the floor above; but checking the deserted floor, unused for many years, had found nothing except doors mysteriously unlocked.

[...] He did not want to be reached, but to rest and be left alone.

(Smile.) In the terms of other systems that particular kind of destruction is meaningless and does not exist, but you believe that it does, and the agonies of the dying are sorely felt. A vivid nightmare is also sorely felt, but quickly over. [...]

Creation, creativity, is natural under all systems and all circumstances, but your system is a training system for emerging consciousness; for having a talent does not yet know how to use it, and must be trained.

[...] When you have learned the lesson you realize that the ideals were not necessary, but until you learn the lesson they are all you have as guidelines. [...]

[...] The teachers within the system are those who are in their last reincarnation, and other personalities who have left the system but have been assigned to help those still within it.
