“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Because of our own sympathetic reactions Jane and I often end up feeling frustrated; also, to help but a few people with any thoroughness means that we’d have no time left for the rest. [...]

[...] The deterioration however does not occur first, but after.

[...] When you rail against an unfavorable environment, or a situation or condition, basically — and underline the following phrase — you are not acting independently, but almost blindly reacting. [...]

[...] This is not a usual case — but to some extent or another, such a division occurs physically or mentally when the contents of the conscious mind are not examined.

Yes, but observor should remain silent. [...]

(Jane received not only the answer to this question before the board transmitted it, but the question itself before I had either voiced it aloud or written it down.

(“But why is this a cause for concern?”)

[...] I said this earlier but Jane lost it.

[...] But generally speaking high energy is needed in order to maintain overall stability, and in order that the ego is not overstrained. [...]

[...] It is not harmful but may surprise you. [...]

[...] The motion may feel backward or forward, but instead there is an immersion into various depths.

[...] But here there is a strong possibility that memory of the experience in its entirety will not be retained.

[...] Now, large portions of it will be published in chronological order, but not if you insist upon this now. (Pause.) It is in one way the natural order of the material, but also your own development was my beginning point. [...]

[...] Not to be nitpicking, but others as well as ourselves are sure to want to know just what you mean by this alteration.”

[...] I could ask more questions, but at the moment that’s quite good.”

Another dimension in your terms is simply added, a more extensive one, and when this training is done properly, as I have tried to do, then the medium’s personality is not only strengthened but its abilities used far above the usual normal. [...]

You gave him quite a lecture, but it was nothing like the lecture he gave himself, and it rearoused old fears of giving in spontaneously to impressions or psychic data. [...]

Now you may rest your fingers for a moment, but we are going to get all of this information through that we can.

[...] Strains and tensions developed, but in grappling with these and with the physical symptoms, new insights were reached.

[...] I told you once that Ruburt would not have allowed a feminine counterpart of myself to speak, but neither would you have. [...]

[...] Experience it as clearly as possible imaginatively, but with the idea of its probable extensions. [...] It is not a part of the past that you know, but an intersection point where that past served as an offshoot into a series of probabilities that you did not follow.

[...] One or several of these may be involved, but again your subjective feeling is the most important clue. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The consciousness that you know can indeed now emerge into even greater realization of itself, but not by obsessively defending its old position. [...]

The great latent-but-always-sensed dimensions of spiritualized creaturehood will then begin to flower. [...]

[...] She wouldn’t say the effort was her very best, but it was certainly close to it—an excellent sign. “But the copy did get bigger at times, really good,” she said. [...]

I may or may not return, according to those energies of which I speak—but remember that I am indeed present and approachable. [...]

(The supper tray still wasn’t with us when I got up from my nap, but Sharon Poley ran it down for us. [...]

[...] I thought of requesting of staff that she be given some Darvoset, or something like it, in the afternoons, but I hadn’t mentioned this because I felt my wife would reject the idea. [...]

[...] But to me her unintelligible shouting signaled more than a physical affliction.)

I may return briefly, but in any case I do now activate those coordinates that do increase feelings of self-love, exuberance, and well-being.

[...] The question isn’t why she’s so uncomfortable these days, but why the body, the psyche, has chosen to endure those symptoms for so long.)

(Jane tried to read yesterday’s session, but couldn’t do it very well, so she laid it aside for a smoke. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) When you were a child you thought in a freer fashion, but little by little you were educated to use words in a certain way. [...]

You and Ruburt have had the feeling many times — but what we are trying to do is change over completely from one mode of operation to another, and to construct, say, new inner blocks of meaning that will give rise to the next era.

[...] She said she’d tried to reach the platform Seth had described in the last session, and as I’d suggested she try to do, but with limited success. [...]

Ruburt feels if you love him you will make the effort, but you retreat. [...] To him this meant that his emotional mobility could be expressed privately at home under conditions you both found acceptable, but not physically through the body. [...]

There will be a foundation of sorts, and investments, for that is a part of Ruburt’s particular nature, but this will come in time as you want it. [...]

[...] He to some extent (underlined twice) recognizes his projections, is consciously aware of them, and tries to deal with them, but in that particular situation you do not recognize yours, though you understand to some degree your different individual reactions.

[...] Well, in that class I suggested that we use the pyramid and I didn’t give them any suggestions as to what they might come up with, but just that they send their consciousness out. [...]

[...] According to what we got last night and this is just a preliminary, the helper is sort of made up of a surplus of positive energy, the desire to help people and so forth; but the best, plus, parts of your personality. [...]

[...] But if you don’t spend the time to do it on your own, you won’t get results. [...]

[...] But you can work through them, and I’d really like all of you to do this. [...]

[...] And know that you will return to the room, that the physical image is still within it, but allow yourself the freedom to travel between dimensions, to accept what comes to you gladly, even our Lady of Florence over there in the corner; to open up joyfully and follow, (to Florence) and you close your eyes. [...]

Now return to the room, open up your eyes, and feel it filled with the energy that is your own from the source that existed before the self that you now give a name, but the energy that is yours by right and the energy that sustains you. [...]

I would do this by whispering, but it is more fun this way. [...]

[...] All actions are valid—and I do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings—but some dream actions are far more intelligent than some waking ones; and I will close Ruburt’s eyes so that no one knows to whom I am speaking. [...]

The records would show one reign of one pope; but one, two, or even three different men may have filled the position. [...]

[...] Her pace had been rather slow, but picked up when she resumed at 10:32.)

[...] Yet now I am not concerned with them, but turn my concentration into other areas of activity.

[...] It is the same as a child saying: “I am going to grow up, but I am never going to change the ideas that I have now.” [...]

[...] But from here on I was able to take notes on most of what she said, so the following is pretty close to a verbatim report:)

(By now Jane was dictating steadily, almost as she does when speaking for Seth.) “Now everything I just said came in a flash while I was waiting for you to write down what you just wrote; but what I got originally was like a ball of string, so that as I explained it the string unraveled into the words …

[...] No scientific language would be used — not that I know any — but that would structure what I’m trying to do; and unwittingly, perhaps, it might lead me into a scientific dogma without recognizing it. [...]

(She laughed again.) “I also have an awful feeling that I’m going to get some kind of instructions from Seth about what I’m to do physically in order to get this material, and so compensate for this new way of receiving things … but don’t put that in the notes …

[...] (I have yet to paint those particular images, but still plan to do so.)

[...] I tried, but could not cry as he spoke: “Loving and merciful God, we entrust our sister to you. [...]

Over the years Jane’s and my work led to our receiving many thousands of letters, not only from this country but from abroad, too. [...]

[...] Practically all of this is open to the public, free of charge, with but a few restrictions as to how much can be copied for personal use. [...]

[...] I accept everything in the book—his opinions on medicine, etc.—but I think I felt that if I was going to tell it like it was—and I was, was determined to, then I also needed more protection from the world—and began cutting down mobility again. [...] But far more than Rob, from the beginning I was nervous and anxious—about directly coming out with many of the ideas—which at the same time I fervently and even passionately believe in.... [...]

[...] but as if I always felt that spontaneously, left alone, I’d end up taking away people’s comfort blankets and I felt bad about that, even while I knew that those philosophic blankets were wormy, had to go. [...]

[...] He has not been using his full abilities but he is now learning that he must do so if he is to develop, and if he is to do his best by you, for you are my students, you see, as well as his. [...]

[...] You have it but you do not realize the knowledge that you have. [...]

[...] but my feelings are most friendly. [...]

Yesterday morning I heard geese flying south for the first time this season, but they were invisible above a heavy overcast. [...] The geese looked very vulnerable against the massive roll of the earth beneath them, but this was an illusion: Like every other entity on earth, each one of those birds knew very well what it was doing. [...]

(The weather has been exceptionally warm this fall—warm and often rainy or misty, but most welcome for this time of year. [...]

[...] They tempered others, but now he should become aware of his own natural flow, and follow it.

Some sessions for example can be quite long, but the time is right.

[...] But his own rhythm can now assert itself, and when he is puttering he is also psychically thinking and creating.

Some of this is so obvious that it escapes you, but since I want to connect it with other matters I will discuss it rather thoroughly.

[...] It should not be forgotten, however, that such evidence gives a composite picture—not only of patterns of perception, but of habits of perception.

[...] No one symptom exists by itself, but on an overall basis. [...]

[...] But within a minute Seth returned:)
