“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are unlimited varieties of experience open to you after death, all possible, but some less probable than others, according to your development. [...]

[...] It is an intermediary step, but an important one. [...]

(When Jane did go into trance her Seth voice was again deeper than her usual voice, but not at all loud so as to attract attention. [...]

It is better, if possible, for Ruburt to be on his back, but this is adequate right now. [...]

[...] Jane took but a few puffs when she told me to put out the cigarette. [...]

[...] Your thoughts are conscious, but the process of thinking itself is not. [...]

Actually the people involved are repressing not violent impulses but natural loving ones. [...]

[...] You see the physical stars, and your instruments probe the distances of space — but the inner processes that make the universe possible are those same processes that propel your own thinking. [...]

The multiplicitude of your own system is but one small example of the infinite realities that exist outside it. [...]

[...] You see but one form of matter. [...]

[...] If these universes were not interwoven then we would have no communication, but each has a mirror in each, and one reaches out to all the others, and I speak a million words to you for each one you hear.

[...] Obviously the names are not the objects, but symbols for them. [...]

Some of you may try to remember your dreams, but none of you have to relate to dream reality as you must to physical life.

Subjectively speaking, you are everywhere surrounded by your own greater reality, but you do not look in the right places. [...]

[...] The emphasis is never static, but ever-changing In some periods, then, the normal behavior was “more dreamlike,” while more specific developments occurred in the dream state, which was then the more clear or specified of the two. [...]

[...] I have used the different beliefs about power as an example, but any belief may be involved if it and its opposite are held in nearly equal weight.

In many instances very strong feelings of persecution and paranoia can be involved, but these will be discussed in the following chapter.

In the kind of schizophrenic behavior we have just been discussing, hypnosis is frequently used as therapy, often in an attempt not only to introduce the two levels of the personality to each other, but also to uncover the time they originally split off in such a fashion.

Under such therapy it sometimes seems that new, lesser personality fragments are uncovered, but it is very possible that these instead are created by the therapy itself. [...]

[...] The letter to Miss Healy was important here; but more than this, intuitionally Ruburt became aware of insights that were necessary if the symptoms were to vanish.

[...] You must not take too literally that which you read, but leave it to the inner self to interpret and decide, and leave it to our material also. [...]

[...] It too, of course, will change, but now he can let it change joyfully.

[...] Ruburt was so certain not to block anything that he did not let me focus clearly enough, but that is all right for now. [...]

[...] Jane could use it after a fashion, but not as well as I’d hoped. [...]

(4:42.) I am not saying that the events in one life cause the events in another, but that there is an overall pattern — a bank of probable events — and that in each life each individual chooses those that suit his or her overall private purposes. [...]

Now, since we have some note-takers I will let you all rest, but I will be listening. [...]

[...] Accept what I say, but use your own abilities. [...]

[...] I tried to do some mail, but didn’t get far. [...]

The official line does have its role, of course — but once again, by itself it must remain isolated from the deep, creative, healing functions of body consciousness. [...]

[...] “I was going to ask another one, but you came out of it too quickly,” I said. [...]

I told Jane she needn’t have a session if she wanted to paint, but that if she did go into trance I wouldn’t mind getting something from Seth on the dream I’d had early this morning. [...]

[...] But in a manner of speaking, it is true to say that the universe was created in the same fashion that your own thoughts and dreams happen: spontaneously and yet with a built-in amazing order, and an inner organization. [...]

[...] You must understand that I am not saying that you are passive, fleeting dreamers, lost in some divine mind, but that you are the unique creative manifestations of a divine intelligence whose creativity is responsible for all realities, which are themselves endowed with creative abilities of their own, with the potential and desire for fulfillment—inheritors indeed of the divine processes themselves. [...]

[...] I called him at the office this afternoon, but there was no answer. [...]

[...] It is easy enough to at times look at others, perhaps now—for I am not saying that you do this—but perhaps romanticizing them, thinking that you would after all prefer a much simpler, more overtly physical existence, freed of any deep concerns about the nature of reality or the plight of the race.

[...] He thinks he cannot change the world—but he can help the individual patient. [...]

[...] The eye condition did result from fears, and in a way “compensated” for other improvements, but not in any specific manner. [...]

[...] I expected there to be a great difference, but watching our early history as shown in the movie made life seem impossibly grim 80,000 years ago. [...]

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session, but had hard going at first. [...]

Science has promoted the idea that hostility is a constant attribute of nature and all of its parts, while it sees the cooperating characteristics of nature as rather infrequent or extraordinary — but certainly outside of the norm (wryly amused).

(Long pause.) Parents who are actually quite worried about their childrens’ susceptibility to illness often go overboard, stressing all kinds of sports and sports-related projects, but the children sense their parents’ unspoken fears, and they try to reassure their parents through achieving high goals or merit in sports programs.

I may or may not return this afternoon, but I do again accelerate your own healing abilities, and quicken those coordinates that accelerate your own sense of well-being and safety.

[...] The Something is subjective, but its effects have appeared so beautifully and effectively in physical terms, that the physical changes themselves add to the subjective joy, relief, and sense of direction.

[...] I was sort of appalled at the lost work in the Dream manuscript but realized Rob has been right along; and the editor was right. [...]

[...] We went over the material on their return, but some time has passed now before they found time to go over it in detail. [...]

([The Gallaghers:] “Several combos, but none South American.”)

[...] Something seen but not reported, by a man owning or working in a small store that sells tackle; and either rents out boats, or did. [...]

(Slower pace.) Fuel difficulties; not a lack of fuel, but the fuel was not getting where it should get. [...]

[...] But whatever beliefs you accept, for whatever reasons, your point of power is in the present.

[...] They know and yet pretend they do not know, but those who die in catastrophes choose the experience — the drama, even the terror when that occurs. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The more “civilized” man becomes, the more his social structures and practices separate him from intimate relationship with nature — and the more natural catastrophes there will be, because underneath he senses his great need for identification with nature; he will himself conjure it into earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods, so that he can once again feel not only their energy but his own.

[...] The pool of emotional energy into which your emotions flow is still composed of unalike charges, but generally speaking, the individual contribution of all those participating will fall into a coherent pattern that gives impetus and direction to the storm, providing the charge and the power behind it.

(Usually we keep the records of her ESP class in a separate set of three-ring binders, but Jane wanted to insert this one as part of Session 393 in our “regular” sessions: She wanted to show Seth discussing a subject that was emotionally very important to a class member—Audrey Shepherd—whose adopted son had died by drowning last summer.)

[...] She also will die young or has already died but will not reach adulthood. [...]

[...] But only the method. [...]

[...] This is not unusual however, but happens often. [...]

[...] He was afraid to go in the last analysis, but he was not afraid to go for the old reasons.

[...] I do not mean above Ruburt’s work, for example, but it will blend with it.
