“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I expect then a concentrated effort to spontaneously accept impulses toward action and immediate performance of the act. The checking and subsequent blocking occurs three or four times usually at your meal. Several times both morning and afternoon when he is at his desk. Now these are simple impulses to get up. Other impulses involve leaving the apartment, going down the stairs. He checks the impulses—now, he checks the natural impulse—to throw his arms out straight away. (Gestures; emphatic delivery.)

Now I tell you that he has been checking such impulses a good fifty times a day, this including impulses of which he has not been consciously aware. He is ready now to become aware of these. They are just beneath consciousness, and will yield readily to his attention. He must obviously make an attempt to accept them, and that at least is a step in the proper direction. What he is becoming aware of clearly and consciously is the residue, the checks and balances, that he has been using to restrict physical activity.

Ruburt has made advances today, partially aided by the receipt of the contracts (for the dream book), but also for reasons given by me recently. He should indeed now learn to become aware of those immediately denied impulses toward motion, of which he spoke this evening. And of course to follow through with the motion, rather than to check it as he has often done.

Now this impulse business is highly vital. When you see him checking an impulse to move, and it is often obvious to you, then handle it in this way. Simply remind him that it is natural for his body to move. That is, do not be critical, but firmly encourage him. Following this advice will have far more reaching and far quicker beneficial results than either of you now realize, and will also release energy that will be quite obvious to the both of you.

(On the way to 330 this noon I stopped to give the hospital the check for $18,000-plus that I’d received the day before yesterday from Blue Cross. A couple of weeks previously a check for some $3700 had arrived; the two go together to make one payment as billed by the hospital to the insurance company. I’m afraid that when I opened the letter and saw the check for the $18,000, I felt no reaction at all. [...] Nor did I feel anything when the check for the $3700 came. [...]

([Joel:] “I guess in the beginning Jane and Rob were a little ambivalent as to whether they wanted to go and check the Frank Withers thing, and we have not made any attempt to check the stuff that Bill gave the first time—That I, in the ‘40s and having been a lawyer and went to Northwestern law school, practiced law in the Loop, that kind of thing. And Hazel last week stopped in Chicago on the way across country and got the address of the Bar Association and some other people, and we’re finally going to check this stuff. But I wondered if you could give us any information as to how we might go about it, or if the initial information was accurate, or if you can tell us anything that we ought to check into in particular?”)

[...] It is not important in the beginning whether or not the information checked for you were involved in the opening of new channels. [...] Therefore, check the material for you will not feel happy unless you do, and then apply what I have told you. [...]

[...] I don’t think it’s the kind of thing, for example, if it doesn’t check out we are not going to say, ‘Well, Bill, you’re a fake, go away.”)

(I also discussed the dream I’d had last month, in which I’d seen the checks out in the parking lot by the front tire of our car. Seth had said then that the dream was legitimate, and that it meant the source of the checks was far away—upstate New York. My own interpretation, I told Jane now, was the same is it had been then—that since the checks looked so small, it meant they weren’t that physically close to us yet—in other words, a waiting period was involved in which, hopefully, they’d move closer and closer to us. [...]

(Jane was already on her back when I got to 330 this afternoon; Gail Greene had had to turn her in order to check the catheter, which at first had refused to irrigate. [...]

(This evening Jane checked with her pendulum technique, and learned that it would be best for her to sign the contract as it stands. [...]

[...] Without checking each session, I agree.

(“How about the way we use the pendulum to check our predictions, after the event? [...]

The pendulum can be used to check predictions, although such a study will involve long-term experimentation. [...]

(Here Seth refers to the check for $7,500 that Jane recently received from Prentice-Hall as half her payment for the paperback rights of Seth Speaks. Jane wrote on the check’s envelope that the money represented a “final payment” to me, etc.)

[...] His remark following receipt of the check brought up the final clarification of beliefs. [...]

[...] The check, even in those terms, you see, was important. [...]

If possible, read your dream records at night, checking them against the day’s happenings. Once a week, check the whole series. [...]

[...] For our own benefit, we frequently kept simple journals of daily events also, so that it was easier to check dreams against daily and weekly happenings and to connect dreams with past, present and future events.

[...] Once more, I’m up at all hours, scribbling down my latest dream notes, checking them eagerly against daily happenings.

I didn’t even connect the dream and the physical event until I checked my dream records as usual that night. [...]

[...] Tell him that he does not need the symptoms as a set of checks and balances. [...] Behind the attitude is still the feeling that he needs to whip himself on in certain areas, and check himself in others. That spontaneously, left alone without such checks and balances, he will go to the extremes.

[...] Tell him that the inner self has its own system of checks and balances. [...] Age and experience provide checks and balances of their own that he did not have earlier. [...]

[...] When I opened it I found a check for $1,000 made out by Helen Granger Park. [...] It turned out that the Helen Park who had written had read Maude’s article in Reality Change, and sent the check to Sue to forward to us, to make sure we’d get it safely. [...]

(I should add that when I realized what the check for the $1,000 meant, I had strange initial feelings of guilt and of rebellion, of being now in a pretty vulnerable position in some strange way, even though the money would help with hospital charges. [...]

(Then I called Sue in Dundee to thank her for forwarding the check, and we talked for at least half an hour. [...]

[...] Very little memory of what I said but when I stopped Barb checked several points out as very good. [...] There may be others, we haven’t checked the notes yet.

(To me, at least the checked-out information in the first part was excellent; the correct town and state, initials, the point about the second child—Barb just said yes, yes; but didn’t explain; and there was something else. We didn’t check out the information I gave during the second, more emotional part of the trance. [...]

[...] I did not remember the Greenwich data or the other points that did check out; I only know of them because we talked about them before the second trance started.

(Did the fact that some of the first information check out then encourage me to continue? [...]

[...] [Check the spelling of that name.] It’s okay now to use Silvadene on the dressings for the knee. [...]

[...] Jane started reading yesterday’s session, was interrupted by LuAnn checking her blood pressure early. [...]

[...] The car represents the idea of distance also, since the checks do not originate in this city. [...]

I was really delighted when the whole thing checked out. [...]

[...] I couldn’t wait for the Gallaghers to return, so I could check this and the Seth impressions. [...]

[...] We wanted something we could check out for ourselves right away. [...]

[...] After the session we checked our results. [...]

[...] JA also seemed surprised, and double-checked his data to make sure he was correct. Moreover, when the new lenses were assembled in his machine for me to check my vision, I was able to read 15-20 [or 20-15?], another improvement over the normal 20-20.

(Moreover, when JA tested me for glaucoma, my eye pressures checked out at 17 for the left and l6 for the right—a point or so better than last time, and midway in the normal range which ends at 25. [...]

These were meant as checks against impulsive or intuitive behavior. [...]

[...] The physical ailments were meant as checks from the beginning. [...]

And in using, it will build up innate systems of checks and balances that will be natural for your own personalities, and effective. [...]

[...] My wife’s temperature was checked again around 11:00 p.m. and it was 101. [...]

[...] Staff began coming in to check Jane’s vitals. [...]

[...] She asked me to take some of it home so no one could tell she hadn’t eaten much, but I told her no one checks the trays; there are no names on them, for one thing. [...]

(Day before yesterday we received from Tam a copy of his memo to J. Nelson, P. Grenquist, and A. Freemyer; he’s checked the Dutch contract for Seth Speaks, and learned that it contained a clause prohibiting cutting. [...] At the same time I’ll be checking what portions of Seth Speaks were cut, and listing them. [...]

[...] I suspect also that throughout the book, without my having checked yet, portions of the sessions have been cut whenever they were dependent upon notes that were cut. [...]

[...] We definitely know we’ve been taken advantage of, but basically feel it is Prentice-Hall’s fault for not checking the work in progress.

[...] I think that here Seth referred to Jane’s and my upset over the small amount of her royalty check this fall, and the way Prentice-Hall has taken to withholding certain percentages of profits against returns.)

[...] This is quite possible, we think, although we did not check with Seth. [...] We do not know since we did not check with Seth. [...]

[...] She helped me compile it for future checking against page 43. [...]

(We believe we have made some progress checking Seth’s impressions in this case, and they involve Bill Macdonnel, John Bradley, and Peggy Gallagher among others. [...]

[...] The envelope object is a statement of various possibilities to be checked out concerning the impressions on page 32.

[...] Jane received her check from publisher Fell today and was pleased.)

[...] To do with red and white blood corpuscles, a deficiency, a check upon the deficiency, and an alteration of nervous reaction patterns. [...]

[...] In any case the name given might be the future name of the drug, impossible to check at this time. [...]

[...] The other impressions refer to the future and cannot be checked now.

[...] You checked up on him in the beginning. [...]

You checked up on him in the middle of the night in the beginning, or you would question him in the morning. [...]

[...] Check chapter 3 James. [...]
