“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] While she ate I told her several times that I had a feeling of anticipation, as though I had something I wanted to tell her, but couldn’t recall it. [...]

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session — it wasn’t her best effort by any means, but she managed to get through it with a little help from me. [...]

(Jane told me she was a little surprised that Maude Cardwell hadn’t answered my letter of a couple of weeks ago by now — but I said I thought things were proceeding as all of us wanted them to, really. [...]

Now I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak — but know that I am present and approachable.

Latently, your consciousness is capable of performing these feats, but the work cannot be done with the part of your consciousness that is strongly attached to the space-time relationship. [...]

[...] But every self is also a part of its own greater being, a part of the energy from which it continually comes. [...]

[...] Request the answer to any problem and it will be given, but you must trust yourself and learn to interpret your own dreams. [...]

[...] Seth states therein: “But the fact is that physical matter is not solid except when you believe that it is….”)

[...] He told us this evening when we met that he had been asked to run for county commissioner by the assistant district attorney of his hometown, Williamsport, PA, but did not tell us anything else particularly. [...]

(John also stated talent Clint Smith has one young brother-in-law who lives in Lancaster, PA, south of Williamsport; but as far as John knows there would be no connection here either.

A tiff or argument involving Philip, rather unexpected, that will seem to shift alliances, but in the overall will not. [...]

[...] But you would only travel to one of these. [...]

The session contained information about vital aspects of Ruburt’s personality, but given in your terms at a particular period of time. [...]

[...] While he had that strong faith in himself, the other tendencies, including the false prophet ideas, lost all but the most minute significance.

It is true that for some time he then projected portions of his own overly-conscientious portions upon you, and then reacted; but it is also true that you had schooled yourself to display displeasure through a heavy silence, and were afraid of displaying your happier, sunnier emotions.

[...] They are, whether you know it or not, also projected by you upon Ruburt, so that you do see his physical condition as an outrage, not only literally but symbolically. [...]

[...] It was hard going for her, but she stuck with it and finally finished at 3:30. [...]

He was not just listening, then, to recorded material, but he was himself the recorded information and a recorder upon which the experiences played.

It is not so much the actual rhythms that are manifested that make the difference in perception, but the absence of certain other rhythms (intently), upon which perceptions ride.

[...] By then most of the drug had been absorbed, but I didn’t call anybody. [...]

[...] I laughed, but out of incredulity, not humor, for the other day she’d feared she was getting pneumonia. [...]

[...] I believe that before this scene, he’d had another similar episode, where an accident had halted his performance and he’d ended up frustrated and confused, but I don’t remember it clearly enough to describe.)

Do not specifically relate the behavior of the hand with your artistic self or artistic abilities in your suggestions, but in a general manner to the natural health of your being and easy flow of your ideas outward. [...]

[...] I followed it all right, but at the same time I was wondering why the unconscious, when it saw how I was taking the symptom, didn’t get busy and eliminate it and set me at rest. [...]

[...] But at my words Seth suddenly boomed through very loud and clear with no voice problem, and quite humorously:)

[...] But all of them have the capacity to become people, according to the actions of probabilities. [...]

[...] But now I don’t remember it.”)

[...] She hadn’t wanted to try getting on the bed from her chair, but I talked her into making the effort, and she did very well. [...]

Those statements should not go underground, again, but he should sympathetically address his doubts and the various points of their contentions can then be quite adequately settled—or at least resolved, reconciled. [...]

[...] You sense the overall shape of the book, often clearly, but because of the workings of functional consciousness, when you must focus upon a particular passage, that focus necessarily precludes the overall vision at the same time.

[...] This is returning sensation, interpreted as sore on his part but not on the body’s. Again, that is transitory. [...]

The appointment made but not kept refers to the fact that you all said you would get together again in the near future, and you did not.

[...] But we should discuss Ruburt’s sinus condition soon.”)

The inner self or ego is 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. [...] When it becomes swept up in a strong emotion it seems to lose itself; there is unity, then, but no sense of apartness. [...]

[...] It is purposeful, highly 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 the “unconscious,” but the unconscious, being the creator of the ego, is necessarily far more conscious than its offspring. [...]

[...] When such knowledge is gained, the ego can accept it, for it finds to its surprise that it is not less conscious, but more, that its limitations are dissipated.

The nonphysical systems are frightening to the ego-centered personality; but the bulk of the individual’s reality does not lie within the physical universe, but in those unknown areas. [...]

[...] It is true that the experiences you encounter may not be encountered by another in precisely (underline precisely) the same way, but physical experience is never the same for any two given individuals either.

[...] But this cohesiveness is based upon an entirely different set of root assumptions or agreements, and these are the keys that alone will enable you to manipulate within, or understand, other systems.

[...] But she couldn’t put it into words.)

[...] The symbolisms and frameworks of religion, therefore, had to exist not only in the physical world but also in the unconscious one. [...]

[...] It is true that in the dream state and in some other levels of existence close to your own, there is strong individual play in the creation of images, and a magnificent use of symbolism, but all of this takes place, again, in an “objective” definite environment, an environment whose characteristics make such phenomena possible — a field of activity, then, with its own rules. [...]

[...] Some of these are geographical in your system, but in all cases, a tuning-in of consciousness is a necessary preliminary. [...]

[...] Some have excellent recall, for example, but often misinterpret their experience because of conscious ideas.

[...] The inner self has at its command complete knowledge, but only portions are used by an organism. [...] But inherent in the spider, as in man, is the complete comprehension of the universe as a whole.”

[...] “I don’t know what the hell I was doing, but I used the [right] knee a lot more, I know that....” [...]

[...] But it’s safe to say that her right leg is definitely showing signs of moving more. [...]

[...] She was concerned at the amount of time she was taking up with her motions, but I told her to forget that. [...]

I may or may not return, according to those rhythms of which I have been speaking, but I wanted to say what I have just said, and I congratulate you both. [...]

This leads not only to private dilemmas, illnesses, and seemingly futile relationships — but also to national misunderstandings, entanglements, and world disorders. [...]

[...] Disease states, so-called, are as necessary to physical life as normal health is, so we are not speaking of a nirvana on earth — but we are saying that it is possible for each reader of this book to quicken his or her private perceptions, and to extend and expand the quality of ordinary consciousness enough so that by contrast to current experience, life could almost be thought of as “heaven on earth.”

[...] Certainly people experienced disease long before those conflicting beliefs began — but again, that is because of the part that disease states play in the overall health of individuals and of the world.

You must start from your present position, of course, but there is no person who cannot better his or her position to a considerable degree, if the effort is made to follow through with the kind of new hypotheses that we will here suggest. [...]

[...] A sudden but intense feeling of hatred or resentment or fear may cause tragic physical circumstances, for example. A sudden and intense exaltation, however, will have the same immediate and literally astounding but opposite physical effect. [...]

The objects in the physical universe are but symbols to express other realities existing within private realms. [...]

It must be realized that the physical conditions are not (underlined) permanent, but everchanging. [...]

[...] I will continue this at your earliest convenience—but begin at once as given with the book, and the understanding, I hope, you will achieve from this session. I bid you a fond good evening, but unless you do what I have said, and until you do, we will not have another private session, for you will not be ready for it.

[...] You have lived here some years yet purposely avoided thinking of it, this apartment, as anything but transitory lest you put down roots and become involved in ways that might distract you from your work and purposes. [...]

[...] But Ruburt was the female: you would not bear any child, so the effort had to be strong on his part. [...]

[...] Jane had forgotten it, she said, but now thought that upon reading the same book a few months ago, she had also developed neck trouble, although not to as severe a degree. [...]

(By 8:30 PM Jane felt a little better but obviously was in no condition for a session. [...]

[...] But now Jane found it difficult to elude him, since any quick movement set up spasms in her neck.)

[...] And Ruburt had also tuned in on the same conversation, but had already begun to tense, and therefore was blocking every psychological stimulus in the hopes of blocking out the right one. [...]
