“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Died last time when a small child. [...]

Often when the child cries about a bogeyman, what he has seen is such an image production or fibrous projection, formed by vivid desire or fear on the part of the subconscious. [...]

The child of the man and the woman has existed as a personality four times before, which makes him older than his parents, in a manner of speaking. He died as a young child upon one occasion, a girl with musical abilities. [...]

(“What is the child’s entity name?”)

[...] There was an afternoon in this life between 4 and 5 years old, and this child visited with her parents. [...]

[...] A connection with a child. [...]

(“How about the child connection?”)

(“A connection with a child.” [...]

(My second question concerned the child data.

[...] The child who died at 18 would have been such a boy, and Throckmorton never really recovered from the lad’s death. [...]

Much love was bestowed upon the boy, Dick, and at his death Throckmorton was all the more bitter against this eldest child. [...]

[...] In many cases such as this, one or the other waits a longer period of time, being born as a child to the other party. [...]

[...] He had seven children, a wife of almost obscene girth, and a child called Stephen who was a pharmacist or doctor. [...]

[...] That child grew up in that probability, and Ruburt grew up in this one. (Pause.) He touched upon certain coordinates that were neurologically shared, however, by both: He and the child were familiar with the carriage and the curb, the mother who pushed the carriage, and the house into which Ruburt felt himself, as the child, being carried.

The child was himself in the past on the one hand, and yet he was a probable future self in that past. [...]

[...] When you are a child, your sense of identity does not include old age in usual experience. When you are an old person, you do not identify yourself as a child. [...]

Ruburt in the child’s perceptive poem could not let go this idea, and we must speak as he did then, in terms of beginning and end. [...]

No child, no infant commits suicide. [...]

A child is not completely materialized upon your plane, nor is he oriented. [...]

[...] It is there, then, like Santa Claus’s toys when you were a child. [...]

The child accepts the Santa Claus answer for some years, and then becomes disillusioned, realizing that the Santa Claus of Christmas tales is a myth. [...]

[...] The knowledge can let it relax, let go, so that it feels its life couched and safe, and knows itself to be indeed a beloved child of the universe, both ancient and young at once, with an identity far beyond the annals of time.

[...] Jane sensed her grandfather’s feeling of identification with the rest of nature however, and since she had not yet developed a strong ego personality as a young child she felt no sense of rejection as did, for example, the other members of the family. When he spoke of wind she felt like wind, as any child will unself-consciously identify with the elements.

[...] We can play as a child plays, having however full conscious appreciation—the I am principle—which the child lacks in his fanciful games.

(“Why was Jane so attached to him when she was a child?”)

[...] I only know that the following were involved: a childhood nursery tale or/and a childhood toy like the cuddly cat doll I had as a child named Suzie that I thought the world of. [...]

[...] There was an afternoon in this life between 4 and 5 years old, and this child visited with her parents. [...]

[...] One child now the present husband, and one a very distant relative. [...]

[...] During break Lillian told us that she had lived in Bangor as a preschool child, and had been very attached to Maine; so much so that when she left there to move to New York State, she at first refused to say she lived in NYS. [...]

[...] It is natural for a child to be curious about suffering, to want to know what it is, to see it—and by doing so he (or she) learns to avoid the suffering he does not want, to help others avoid suffering that they do not want, and to understand, more importantly, the gradations of emotion and sensation that are his heritage. [...]

1. Seth’s idea that in their play children “try to imagine what death is like” certainly adds an intuitive dimension to my own activities as a child. [...]

The child is also affected. I will not give you information dealing with the child this evening.

That kind of enjoyment provides the child with a feeling for its own center. The child becomes self-directed as it learns to follow those pursuits that particularly increase its own individual sense of enjoyment and satisfaction. It might be important that the child learn to put off enjoyment for a period of time, to extend the period between desire and gratification (long pause). [...]

[...] A child has been told not to play with a doll. [...] The child, wittingly or unwittingly, breaks the doll, and it is finally thrown away. The doll exists in time quite vitally as long as the child or the adult-to-be remembers it.

[...] Before a child was baptized it was considered to be the property of its parents, who could do with it as they wished, with no stigma attached.

[...] Once the child was baptized, however, it became a sacred being, possessing a soul and the right to life….

[...] The conscious mind is not some prodigal child or poor relative of the self. [...]

[...] A first child. [...]
