“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] These caused you to probe into the nature of your own beings in most intimate fashion, and yet were meant to lead you into that inner world of events—because each of you wanted to take that chance, and make that journey.

We borrowed the Ouija board from our landlord in the fall of 1963, when by chance he mentioned that he’d bought one but had never obtained any results with it. [...]

[...] I had a few questions I wanted to ask Seth if I got the chance, but hadn’t talked them over with Jane before the session. [...]

(Earlier in the month I’d grown so disgusted with the whole business that I’d resolved not to bother asking Seth for help—then before tonight’s session I’d spontaneously had the idea that I would ask if I got the chance. [...]

[...] Faith in a creative, fulfilling, desired end, sustained faith, literally draws from Framework 2 all of the necessary ingredients, all of the elements however staggering in number, arranges all the details, and then inserts into Framework 1 the impulses, dreams, chance meetings, motivations, or whatever is necessary so that the desired end then falls into place as a completed pattern.

(The book is rather expensive—about $15.00—and I passed up the chance to order. [...]

[...] [Tam is still her regular editor.] In the letter Cohen had good things to say about her work, and the chances that Prentice-Hall will publish Seven III, the first five chapters of which Tam has forwarded to Prentice-Hall. There seems to be a chance also of trying to get Prentice-Hall to publish the three Seven books in simultaneous hardcover and trade paperback editions, if we interpret the letter correctly. [...]

If you realize that your beliefs form your experience, then you do indeed have an excellent chance of changing your beliefs, and hence your experience.

(Tonight she was so far out of it after supper that I thought there was no chance at all for a session. [...]

[...] However, we’ve accumulated quite a bit of unpublished Seth material on dreams, and I’ll start looking for chances to insert some of those data in the rest of “Unknown” Reality.

[...] So the chances of that kind of meeting must be astronomical.” [...]

[...] It is according to when you come into the picture, and what you choose to observe … Consciousness did not come from atoms and molecules scattered by chance through the universe….

[...] Instead, he assigned the pain and suffering in the world to the impersonal workings of natural selection and chance variation [or genetic mutation]. [...]

[...] Through Jane, he grapples with the mysteries of existence in emotional terms, rather than through the impersonal, “scientific,” and really unproven concepts that life originated by accident [more than 3.4 billion years ago,⁸ to give a late estimate], and perpetuates itself through chance mutations. [...]

[...] In evolutionary theory, such attributes violate not only the operation of chance mutation and the struggle for existence, but our ideas of consecutive time [which is associated with “naïve realism” — the belief that things are really as we perceive them to be]. [...]

[...] (In parentheses: with all of that progress occurring of course by chance, incidentally.)

[...] On the other hand, you have been taught that the intellect, the “flower of consciousness,” is a frail, vulnerable adjunct — again, a chance creation, without meaning and without support — without support because you believe that “beneath it” lie “primitive, animalistic, bloody instincts,” against which reason must exert what strength it has.

Do have Ruburt ask the natural Jane (Jane one) what to do when there are difficulties, so that the natural self at least gets a chance to give an opinion. [...]

[...] If there was a chance of this it would be a remote one, and unexpected.

If there is no life after life,
then what cosmic spendthrift formed
the universe,
for Chance alone can’t be
that prolific, or fake an order in which
an accident of such proportions
as the creation of a world
seems so inevitable,
each random element
falling pat, into place,
and each consciousness promptly appearing
with body parts all neatly assembled—
only to be squandered,
falling apart, dissolving into nothingness
while Chance grinds out newer odds.

[...] As when you, old reprobate, took over your son’s mistresses when you got the chance; but you did not get the chance too often. [...]

[...] There is always and oftentimes a justifiable tendency to feel unappreciated, and therefore to look for chances to prove this lack of appreciation, so that it is often mistakenly projected on remarks or actions of others. [...]

Again, you receive further evidence of Ruburt’s recovery, and of the body’s ability to heal itself if only it be given the chance. [...]

We like to think
that chance alone
collected the pieces of
the world,
stitching together the
continents,
turning the dumb elements
into fish and fowl,
and you and me, finally.

“We’re so used to thinking that our encounters with others are caused by chance — except for those we purposely bring about through choice, such as marriage partners — that Seth’s comments about my students seem a bit outrageous at first: So many counterparts in one room?

[...] We gave him paper and pen to write down any questions he might have, but Phil never got a chance to write anything down. [...]

[...] Seth might very well be right, we thought—and we might be happier if we bought the house—but we just weren’t willing to take the chance.

[...] The system will right itself if given any chance. [...]
