“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are as empty, symbolically, open and vacant, as a newborn child, ready now only to partake of God’s pure foods, determined to avoid technology’s poisonous effects. [...]

When you sleep longer than 7 hours in particular, his muscles protest, and this causes much of the morning difficulty. [...]

[...] You became anxious and breathed quicker then through the mouth, as you became worried about your teeth—and the habit causes the difficulty in your mouth. [...]

[...] Earlier I mentioned that your concept, distorted concept of cause and effect, led to the idea that all things must have a beginning and an end.

[...] I regret, and deeply, that we must still deal with concepts in terms of words strung out one before the other, for this method serves to reinforce your idea of continuity, cause and effect, past and present, and all such camouflages that I am completely determined to put into proper place.

The form is caused by a characteristic condition of the energy at any given time. [...]

[...] It will cause immediate physical evocative reactions. [...]

[...] The opaques can be used effectively to suggest the form, superimposed lightly over the transparent energy, but never with a heavy hand.

[...] It is also to imagine the power of the energy that causes that flower to grow; and yet in a landscape you will have perhaps many flowers. [...]

Concentrating upon your own camouflage universe, you are able to distinguish only the distortive pattern, and from this pattern you deduce your ideas of cause and effect, past, present and future, and ideas of an expanding universe that bloats. [...]

[...] Experiments will be conducted, for example, as far as traveling through your camouflage space is concerned; and not only will this traveling be effected, but the physical form must be apparent to others in two places at once, so to speak. Material must be carefully gathered by the personality in its secondary location, to make such experiments effective in scientific circles.

[...] By plunging into our ocean of value climate you can dive beneath your camouflage system and look up to see it, relatively foundationless, floating above you, moved, formed and directed by the shifting illusions caused by the wind of will, and the force of subconscious concentration and demand.

[...] But to be truly effective there should be no attempt to hide subconscious knowledge from the ego.

Storms, for example, are highly creative natural events, though they can also cause destruction. [...] Some intuitively understood that any effects are creative, despite their appearances, but few could convince their fellow men.

[...] However, you are obviously confronted with what seem to be quite evil effects. [...]

[...] Within the mass of distortions, however, hidden beneath the dogma there was always a hint of the basic creativity of every effect.

The nature of action causes depths in terms of intensities that you do not understand, but these intensities build up to the appearance of physical matter within your system.

Thoughts as offspring have a strong effect in all systems, and directly change the camouflage material of any system.

[...] She had a lot of trouble — perhaps caused by the increase in temperature affecting the sinuses, which in turn affected the eyes again? [...]

[...] She agreed that some people are allergic to the medication — “there are always side effects.”

[...] “I just want to lay here and let the Darvoset take effect …”

[...] I tried to put the situation in perspective: “You’re trying to excise your fears of your mother, which in turn led to your being afraid of the world and your own fears of death, ‘cause you carried your idea of protection from the world so far …”

[...] They cause the physical system to shut down. If mass action against appalling social or political conditions is not effective, then other means are taken, and these are often in the guise of epidemics or natural disasters. [...]

In the same way, if one portion of your own body is injured, then other portions feel the effects of the wound. [...]

Now, there’s very recent discussion in medical circles that many cases of senility are caused by a “slow virus infection,” rather than just heredity or the traditional aging and oxygen starvation of the brain. [...]

[...] (Pause.) This method is even more effective if you choose from your past a scene in which a choice was involved that was important to you.

[...] At one point a shadowy effect — grayness, or other characteristics just mentioned — will occur. [...]

Until you have tried the exercise and become fully acquainted with it, you will not understand its effectiveness. [...]

[...] A few great men have glimpsed those abilities, comma, and their love of the race and their integrity had caused them to trigger the unused portions of the brain.² In their way they sensed the great probable future and its ramifications.

Verbal sounds were often stereotyped simply because the effect of sound was understood in its effects upon the body. [...]

[...] Whenever aggressiveness became too misguided it automatically caused the loss of powers or discoveries that could be used to destroy the planet.

(Such effects would grow out of the operation of Einstein’s relativity postulates, etc.)

[...] Literally, the sound traveled further often than was intended, causing consequences not planned upon. [...]

[...] (With gestures, and forcefully.) This is the result of the focusing and yet limiting behavior of the physical brain, for effective survival behavior in your reality depends upon time reactions. The nerve patterns’ activity therefore causes the illusion of a present, in which your consciousness appears focused and alert.

[...] There is a definite filtering and focusing effect at work, then. [...]

[...] The healthiest body contains within it many so-called deadly viruses in what you may call (underlined) an inactive form — inactive from your viewpoint, in that they are not causing disease. [...]

At the minute levels — microscopic levels — there are always some biological experiments being carried out, in a creative effort to give the species as much leeway as possible for effective action. [...]

(Long pause at 10:01.) Your culture has its biological effect upon the species. [...]

This isn’t all, however, for experiments have now shown that the brain/mind connection can influence immunity, through stressful conditioning either enhancing its effects or subduing them. [...] Over and over Marie told Jane that she was no good, that the daughter’s birth had caused the mother’s illness. [...]

[...] I think that Marie’s domineering rage at the world (chosen by her, never forget) deeply penetrated Jane’s developing psyche, and—again in those terms—caused her to set up repressive, protective inner barriers that could be activated and transformed into physical signs at any time, under certain circumstances. [...]

[...] If reincarnation is to be considered, their disturbed relationship this time might reflect past connections of a different yet analogous nature, and may also have important effects upon any future ones. [...]

[...] Not even when I play around with his ideas relative to quantum theory can such proof be found—yet I let Jane’s “amazingly strong” will be the measuring and observing device that automatically causes “waves” of knowing or consciousness—in Framework 2, for example—to coalesce into the “particles” that make up the physical forms she perceives as her reality in Framework 1, either psychically from a distance or right here.

When it is understood that space and time are both camouflages, and that your cause and effect theory is a result of a continuity theory that no longer makes sense, then your scientists will recognize the impossibility of trying to decipher basic reality with camouflage instruments, and vehicles, that of themselves produce distortive theories, and only serve to probe further into a camouflage pattern.

There is no easy way that is effective in the long run, and if I seem heavy-handed in this respect, it is because I would rather have slow and certain results than flashy displays that cannot be maintained. This is a lifetime project, and I mean Ruburt and Joseph are getting their effects now through previous hard work and discipline. [...]

[...] More cruelties have been effected by principled men than unprincipled men would ever dream.

[...] This enthusiasm has caused you difficulties in the past, and I will not be, I simply will not be, the means of allowing you to let it operate without using discipline and discretion.

[...] The painting represented a new approach in art for me, and had caused me a good deal of puzzlement at first. [...]

[...] Yet this inward and outward thrusting condition effectively sets up the boundaries and uniqueness of each universal system, while allowing for a constant give-and-take of energy among them.

[...] Its effects are no longer experienced as consecutive, and matter becomes more and more plastic until its mental elements become apparent. [...]

[...] To some extent, however, its act can be indirectly apprehended through its effect upon the phenomenon that you can perceive.

[...] Both religion and science, parents and schools, stress that idea, and it is one of the most important causes of mental alienation, spiritual and physical distress.

The effects added to the disapproval, for while one purpose was achieved, his stance and walking were affected. [...]

[...] Only your feelings and disapproval and the lack of confidence generated causes the hopelessness about Ruburt’s situation that frequently assails you both. [...]

(A number of events, foremost among them the death of Jane’s mother after an illness of many years, caused us to lay these sessions aside after Seth finished his preface on April 10. [...]

[...] There is no effect in the exterior world that does not spring from an inner source. [...]

[...] This is as normal and inevitable as the fact that your breath causes a mist to form on glass if you breathe upon it. [...]

[...] I don’t think the cause is physical. [...]

Give us a moment … It’s your version of worrying that desired effects may not be brought into the present — that is, will not come into your close vision. [...]

[...] On some occasions I may come through with greater or lesser effectiveness. [...]

[...] It was your inner fear that caused the dream. [...]
