[...] You have chosen to do this however. [...]

For the first time ever since Jane began the sessions over 17 years ago, in December 1963, I got the chills when Seth delivered a passage—for when he remarked that without some such creative psychic expansion as the sessions “Ruburt would have felt unable to continue the particular brand of his existence,” I surely thought he meant that Jane could have chosen to die. [...] We did talk about a number of highly gifted people who had died at young ages; indeed, we’d often speculated about what further contributions such individuals could have made had they chosen to continue living physically. [...]

[...] Since then I’ve packed full these notes for Session 931, in order to round out our personal, professional, and secular situations—yet, looking back, I wonder if I’ve properly put everything in perspective: There are other sessions I could have quoted instead of the ones chosen, other notes I could have written; there are other questions Jane and I could have asked, and, perhaps, other conclusions we could have drawn.

[...] Her view of basic reality is her view, and even I must still grope at times to understand her chosen role. [...]

I took those associations to mean that no matter what her evolving focuses in her present life, Jane should be as much aware of my reactions to her situation as she is of her own—that even though I’d worked out religious questions in a previous life, still this time around I had chosen to share with her a probable reality within which her physical symptoms, bound up as they are with the subject of religion, could occur.

[...] In some cases, this is because a different probable event has been chosen by the self for physical materialization. [...]

In such cases, it is necessary that the correct channel of probable events be perceived; ‘correct’ meaning the channel which will ultimately be chosen in your terms. [...]

For this reason I’ve chosen three full, though brief, sessions, and portions of several consecutive recent ones. [...]

[...] You have your choice, broadly, within certain frameworks that you have chosen as a part of your creaturehood. [...]

[...] He said we had chosen a poor method of experimentation, if we did not want to contact him, since Jane has been conditioned to respond through him when we sought contact with discarnate entities. [...]

Inclinations with which the ego has very little liking, for example, are very seldom a problem for the ego, since they remain generally outside of the ego pattern, never having been chosen by it to form a characteristic part of the ego pattern. [...]

The energy must be directed toward the personality’s main work, the two books at hand, if the personality is to progress along its chosen lines. [...]

[...] This time her vitality, chosen by her, forces her to do so. [...]

(Long pause.) You are, because you have chosen it, initiating a new way of life. [...]

The service station and entire setup was chosen because it represented excellent symbolism, and unconsciously referred you back to the time when your father made his batteries, and owned that business.

(As early as the 6th session Seth told Jane and me that we were living the last of our physical lives, and that both of us had chosen to become entities. [...]

You have chosen that goal because it does seem so difficult, and if you fail then you can blame circumstances rather than yourself.

[...] Had he chosen them, there would have been other problems to face in their stead that would have greatly hampered both his development and your own.

(The pendulum told me that I was bothered by the idea of the possible lack of permanency of the panel I had chosen, and briefly that I was somewhat aware of the change in this picture, as far as handling of form would be concerned, from my usual style of working. [...]

[...] It was the fear of death — not chosen, of course — the fear that if he did not deliver, work hard, and pay his mother back for a life magically given, grudgingly given, then in a magical equation she, the mother, could take it back. [...]

[...] My self-questioning was particularly intriguing because I could have chosen from a half-dozen routes to work; yet I had picked a course that enabled me to act out the dream of the night before, while not being consciously aware of the dream.)
