“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Certain presentations in Appendix 18 contain information from Seth about the distortive effects caused by words as he communicates through Jane. [...]

[...] In the most effective of dreams experience is actually more direct, in that it is less limited by language concepts. [...]

[...] I want to see her able to manipulate like other people, of course, and to have her achievements also; that things haven’t worked out that way so far can’t but help have a profound effect upon my feelings, hers, and our relationship, which I’ve always taken absolutely as being as solid and enduring as the elements.)

There is a relaxation going on, and a loosening between the hips and the legs, that causes other large muscles to hold back to maintain balance temporarily, to move more slowly to compensate for the unaccustomed looseness of other portions. [...]

If you had first read the article of which you have been speaking, and then in a semi-dozing state created your idea of a novel, replete with the characterization of the mother, then you would say that cause and effect were involved.

You must realize however that in your interactions you and Ruburt work together in some areas very effectively. [...]

[...] His impatience and panic did impede his judgment, causing him to send it out too early, and for this he blamed you.

[...] The thought-form causes your friend severe harm; and all of this because you were afraid that one stray aggressive thought of yours was more powerful than the vitality that resides in each of you.

[...] As a male in that life she had an expanding effect upon your personality, but you were very given to ritual and a belief in magic acts, and to the idea that existence in itself was evil and wrong. [...]

[...] Also, the chemical nature of certain emotional experiences may cause a freak electrical storm within the identity system, so that a past life may suddenly be recalled.

[...] Therefore it perceives events in a peculiar manner, almost in slow motion, so that the whole effect is of a series of separate events, one happening before or after the other.

[...] The biological sciences can cling to mechanistic theories of evolution by employing the conservative physics of cause and effect to support their conclusions while being aware, perhaps, of the tenets of particle physics. [...]

(Our beliefs and intents cause us to pick “from an unpredictable group of actions,” or probabilities, those that we want to happen, as Seth tells us in the 681st session in Volume 1; therefore, from my physically oriented probability the considerable work I’ve put into this paper is an examination of evolution in connection with a number of Seth’s concepts. [...]

[...] For Darwin and his followers — even those of today, then — nature’s effects gave the appearance of design or plan in the universe without necessitating a belief in a designer or a god; although, as I wrote in Note 7, from the scientific standpoint this belief leaves untouched the question of design in nonliving matter, which is vastly more abundant in the “objective” universe than is living matter, and had to precede that living matter.

[...] The perceptual time lag, caused by the limited speed of light, is also involved in objections to naïve realism. [...]

I was concerned somewhat with Ruburt’s reading of Jung, simply because while he seems to offer more than Freud, in some aspects he has attempted much, and his distortions are fairly important, in that seeming to delve further and offering many significant results, he nevertheless causes insidious conclusions. [...]

I had also intended, if the suggestion were followed, to add certain suggestions having to do with the necessity of seeing others, and even of some aggressive activities, so to speak, which would have effectively counteracted any possible tendency for withdrawal on his part.

[...] However, such techniques will not work in mass terms, or allow you, say, to prolong effective, productive life unless you change your beliefs in other areas also, and learn the inner dynamics of the psyche.

[...] They cause miniature self-images, so to speak, that are mirrored in the cells. [...]

[...] In a few moments she said the mere touch caused her reaction. [...]

[...] This is an effect both of us have noted occasionally before.

(“That’s what I was thinking—that Jane has to give permission before this voice effect can take place.”)

The pain in your tooth is caused by an irritated nerve leading to the tooth. [...]

[...] As such they make quite an effect upon your level, but they are always reassemblies and never are they the actual reappearance of the exact camouflage as it may once have existed upon your level.

[...] It was brief, but to the effect that if he were with a roomful of people he would not confront each one in turn but “experience” them altogether, using his inner senses to appreciate as a whole all the personalities and emotions about him.

[...] For one thing, psychological time is so much a part of inner reality that even though your inner self is still connected to the physical body, you are in the dream framework free of some very important physical effects. [...]

[...] It is after all only a means of reaching the whole self and of acquainting the ego, through effects, with the abilities of the whole self, of which it is but a part.

It was a defect on the receiving end that caused fear on your part. [...]

Now, the point that our friend over here (Sue) was trying to make earlier is related, to some extent, along these lines in that you can become so afraid of violence that you overemphasize its effect. [...]

[...] The ignorance will cause them sorrow until they learn to rid themselves of it. [...]

[...] Now she is doing some very excellent work, but she is causing herself agony that she need not bear. [...]

[...] Now the distrust was projected outward, and so you found in physical reality those effects that seemed to justify your feelings and, therefore, you hid further and further within yourself, adapting a militant manner to hide the helplessness that you felt. [...]

[...] Personality fragments differ from others in that they can cause other fragments to form from themselves. [...]

Looking back, you can say that this effect was therapeutic, but if you had subconsciously accepted the images it would have marked the beginning of a severe deterioration for you both personally and creatively. [...]

[...] The expansion is an illusion, based among other things upon inadequate time measurements, and cause-and-effect theories; and yet in some manners the universe could be said to be expanding, but with entirely different connotations than are usually used.”

“Effective” space travel, creative space travel on your part, will not occur until you learn that your space-time system is one focus. [...]

[...] I made a verbatim record of her first encounter with slow, or long, sound in the 612th session for September 6, 1972, just about a year after she’d finished Seth Speaks. Since the material in that session wasn’t covered in Personal Reality or Adventures, we’re publishing most of it as an appendix for this volume.* Not only will it illuminate these notes; it will also link, if loosely, Seth’s reality, Seth Two, and some other “rapid” effects. [...]

[...] Your conscious energies are focused upon the physical field, and the distortive cause and effect theory holds sway.

[...] Not only that, but when the predictors fall flat on their faces it does not help “the Cause.” [...]

([Theodore:] “That pulsation effect that I felt?”)

[...] Dream actions can be turned toward fulfilling constructive expectations, which can themselves effect a change for the better.

[...] Sometimes I’ve remembered the dreams, sometimes not, but I’ve always awakened refreshed and renewed, and the effects last. [...]

“Waking consciousness can be taken into the dream state; the ego cannot, as it would falter and cause immediate failure. [...]

[...] They are as concrete, in effect, as any building. [...]

[...] Personality fragments differ from others in that they can cause other fragments to form from themselves …”

Now Seth was saying, “Looking back, you can say that the effect was therapeutic, but if you had subconsciously accepted the images, it would have marked the beginning of a severe deterioration for you both, personally and creatively. [...]
