“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] But all in all the regularity should be maintained, and the suggestion I have given will allow both schedule and freedom from schedule. [...]

[...] Not only mentally and emotionally but also alters the electromagnetic reality of the internal physical structure.

[...] As I mentioned some sessions ago, on the one hand you can say that the method involves distortion, but without the distortions there would be no meaningful knowledge for you to understand. [...]

[...] I do not see any particular purpose in giving these to you now, but at some time I will do so. [...]

[...] Tam has requested that we send him a letter outlining our position re a competent professional translator of the French Seth Speaks. I was going to do the letter this weekend, but didn’t. I asked Jane if she would write the letter, and she agreed to. [...]

(“But I don’t want to be in the position of finding out that that cat’s dead,” she said. [...]

(So we know she has the ability to do that sort of psychic sleuthing, but it turns her off. [...]

[...] No matter how it must reason or react, it had to be concerned about its own survival—but in what ways, and based upon what knowledge and/or reasons? [...]

[...] This does not require long periods of time at all—but the intent is all-important. [...]

Despite that, Ruburt’s body is improving, but the rate of improvement mirrors your individual and joint beliefs. [...]

[...] They included a projection through the eastern wall of our living room, and a “visitor” who returned with her; the Latin title of a book; her awareness of a third eye; some material, with diagrams, of me as a monk who wrote manuscripts in an underground chamber that he later sealed; a vision of Seth in a brown robe, looking as I’ve painted him—but the brown robe was “too easy,” Jane said suspiciously. [...]

[...] “I’m not sure, but maybe the Spiritual Adventures thing is connected with you when you were doing those manuscripts; maybe you wrote it....” [...]

(“I think I could get this several different ways,” Jane said at 10:28, “but I’d rather let Seth handle it.... [...]

You become aware of their existence, but in the meantime often your generations change, while theirs has not, and so they appear eternal in conventional terms. [...]

Generally speaking, there will be a specific overall sexual orientation of a biological nature, but the mental and emotional human characteristics are simply not meted out according to sex. Such identification cuts the individual in half, so that each person uses but half of his or her potential. [...]

[...] The “she” within the male does indeed represent portions of his personality that are being unexpressed — not because of any natural predominance of mental or emotional characteristics over others, but because of artificial specializations. [...]

[...] These were considered products of the weak and lustful flesh — bad enough, but considering man’s fallen state, understandable lapses. [...]

[...] For the poet did not simply string words together, but sent out a syntax of consciousness, using rhythm and the voice, rhyme and refrain, as methods to form steps up which his own consciousness could rush. [...]

[...] But poetry and painting have always involved primarily man’s attempt to understand himself and his world. [...]

The sessions I give you, in usual (underlined) terms, are a new extension of that creativity—but again, that extension has an ancient heritage. [...]

(A session had been mandatory Monday evening, February 5, since we’d scheduled it for an out-of-state visitor some time ago, but we didn’t feel much like it when the time came. [...]

(Seth had already given the heading for Chapter Ten, but as we sat for the session now I reminded Jane of her questions about group souls, as described at the end of the 637th session. [...]

[...] But all of you do hope for illumination, greater vitality and understanding in one way or another, and wonder what methods might help you achieve these ends. [...]

[...] This applies not to you only but to such a state in general. You become incapable of getting out of yourself, even to the extent of enjoying small pleasures and, little by little it seems every joy is withdrawn from you until nothing is left but despair.

[...] I could continue but will end the session out of consideration for you both. [...]

This does not mean that such ideas are necessarily valid, you see, but in your system they certainly appear as such, due to the intensity with which they are held. [...]

The thought may be rejected, but there will be something to reject. [...]

I am trying here to get a rather complicated idea through to you, but we have not sufficiently broken it down yet. [...]

This was not always the case, but in too many instances my intellect has been held back by the stubbornness of his ego. [...]

These are in the process of vanishing, but the lingering nature has expressed indeed his lingering doubts. [...]

Your material was displaced, but I hope you are not displaced.

In some ways you see you must both operate as a closed unit against the world, but you must also operate as an open unit, receptive to the world. [...]

I am to some extent an affectionate but detached observer here. [...]

Now: Again, master events are those that most significantly affect your system of reality, even though the original action was not physical but took place in the inner dimension. [...]

[...] You make certain adjustments, perhaps altering particular details, but you step into and become part of the inner processes—affecting, say, the shape or size or nature of the event before it becomes a definite physical actuality.

[...] Later, some people more stubborn than others might try to “prove” that some events are definitely precognitively perceived—but the point is that all events are precognitively perceived (intently), and that you actually step into an event, become part of it, reject it, accept the certain version you have “picked up,” or exert yourself to make certain changes that affect the nature of the event itself.

I’d told myself to forget it each time I caught myself worrying that way—but finally, more concerned than ever about Jane’s physical condition, I gave up. [...]

(A brief but potent unscheduled session was held Sunday night, with Bill and Peggy Gallagher as witnesses. [...]

[...] Jane did not know this offhand consciously, Seth said, but had the records to prove it, and subconsciously was well aware of it.

[...] Seth agreed, but said the evidence might convince scientists and investigators long before it convinced the average man, who knows little about such things now.

[...] But more than that, I’ve seen in my own life the steady accumulation of physical symptoms.

[...] But instead of facing up to a considerable change in life-style, I panicked and felt myself to be almost assaulted, forced into a life that offered less and less physical freedom. [...]

[...] I, for one, was afraid that such an arrangement would not only demonstrate our acceptance of the fact that Jane was really caught in a terrible, permanent situation, but that it would end up destroying us psychologically and creatively.

[...] I had not written it down, but plan to start my dream notebook before long.

[...] However upon this instance I shall indeed do so, but our sessions this autumn shall be meaty ones, and I hope that you digest them.

[...] If you do not make artificial divisions, but see the day as your own, and know your intents, then you will find that while doing Dialogues, for example, ideas for paintings will come, and that while thinking of Larry’s (Herschaft) sketches you will also find future paintings coming to mind.

[...] But this time the whole body structure is involved.

[...] But again: This does not mean that you should use such a word to make other people uncomfortable.

[...] But when dealing directly with people, Seth is — direct, and most perceptive. [...]

(This evening’s session was of average length for recent ones — lasting about an hour and a half, including break — but Seth devoted only the first short portion of it to Mass Events.)

[...] Disastrous events thought to originate in a god’s wrath could at least be understood in that context, but many of you live in a subjective world in which the events of your lives appear to have no particular reason — or indeed sometimes seem to happen in direct opposition to your wishes….

[...] Jane tried to read yesterday’s session, but had a lot of trouble. [...]

[...] And the small trinkets that Ruburt discovered to his own delight represented the small but very valuable pleasures of daily life that he is now reclaiming.

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

[...] I don’t actually think we said anything brand new, but it was good to review it all. [...]

Later we will discuss what this means to you, the individual person, but for now I want to stress the fact that while it may seem natural enough to consider disease as a threat, an adversary or an enemy, this is not the case.

The subject matter of suffering is certainly vitally connected to the subject at hand, but basically speaking, disease and suffering are not necessarily connected. [...]
