“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] They seem to be the official pulses of your civilization, giving precedence to official reality, but you have little idea that the psyche is inherently able to seek its conscious experience from all of the known ranges, according to the kind of experience chosen at any given “time.”

[...] In a way this is like an accelerated, chosen, well-organized “conscious” dream venture, in which Ruburt travels through mediums of consciousness until finally he, still being himself, is nevertheless no longer himself (humorously), but me.

Now in the first place the symptoms are not evil nor his enemies, but methods of instruction that he has himself chosen; and if ever he imagines them isolated in such a fashion, they should be imagined instead as being projected out from him into the whole of the universe where they are absorbed harmlessly, and their energy used to the greater good.

[...] Without it he would have chosen other pathways perhaps, but they would not have been as beneficial nor as helpful to both of your developments. [...]

You have chosen to divert and use tremendous charges of energy in your final reincarnations, and your own art will make its way for this reason. [...]

[...] Interpretations based upon the charts then will make more sense to those who have chosen the same probable birth circumstances — but they will be of no value to those who were born at the same time, in your terms, but who follow a different order of probabilities.³

(10:17.) Now give us a moment … As the cells operate with the knowledge of probable actions and still maintain the physical body in your chosen system, so the psyche, operating in the same way, “seeds” itself in many different probabilities. [...]

(Very intently:) In the same manner, the self knows ahead of time the best conditions for its own development, in light of the time and the place of its chosen birth. [...]

[...] Yet many individuals will not discover semblances of themselves in the charts of astrology simply because their chosen probabilities are, qualitatively speaking, so different from the “norm.”

[...] This is a joint framework you have chosen for the display of extraordinary ability. [...]

[...] The reasons have to do with the particular way in which mankind has chosen to evolve and use his abilities; and I will have more to say regarding this point, but it does not belong in this chapter.

The animus and the anima become even more important in these instances when a series of one-sex lives are chosen. [...]

[...] I thought it was great that she was expressing deeply-felt emotion, just as I was surprised that she’d spontaneously — seemingly — chosen the subject matter for the session … This had to be good, I said.

[...] A large subject, I know, and one chosen by all involved, but still …

[...] The difficulty is that you must believe in your role, and yet also realize that it is a role that you, the inner self, have chosen. [...]

[...] This cannot be done, however, until the reincarnational cycle, once chosen, is completed, so the last choice exists for those who have developed their abilities through reincarnation as far as possible within that system.

[...] I think that Marie’s domineering rage at the world (chosen by her, never forget) deeply penetrated Jane’s developing psyche, and—again in those terms—caused her to set up repressive, protective inner barriers that could be activated and transformed into physical signs at any time, under certain circumstances. Out of many possibilities, the daughter’s conditioning was psychically chosen and accepted, and through that focus she meant to interact with the mother’s behavior. [...]

[...] Additionally, Jane could have chosen the present relationship to eventually help her temper her reception of and reaction to the Seth material, making her extra-cautious; this, even though she’d seen to it ahead of time that she would be born with that certain combination of fortitude and innocence necessary for her to press on with her chosen abilities. [...]

In one way you have begun to do so, in the manner that you have chosen to paint clothing—that is, the types of clothing you have chosen to portray. [...]

(Then this noon we received from Prentice-Hall copies of the revised index for Volume 1 of “Unknown,” plus new page proofs of the type chosen for Volume 2—a matter we’d thought already settled. [...]

[...] Many others had obviously thought the typefaces chosen for Volume 2 were okay, I said, so what was I doing, worrying about something like that, wanting to tell others how to do their jobs? [...]

[...] While such a dream is less complex than others, it is nevertheless an amazing construction, and when we break down the obvious perceived objects or events of such a dream, we will find that the immediate objects and events that have application in daily life, that may be rehashed versions of the day, have nevertheless been carefully chosen.

The dream objects are in fact chosen with such precise discrimination that in many instances, on deep examination they will be seen to embody not only data concerning the dreamer’s daily conscious existence, but one and every dream object may be seen to apply on many levels at once.

The dream objects, then, are so cunningly, and if I may say so, almost slyly chosen, that the simplest of them may refer to instances in this existence, to personally subconsciously desired or feared objects or instances, to desired or feared objects or instances in past lives. [...]

[...] Now the manner of death is no coincidence, it is chosen. [...]

[...] You have chosen your heritage. [...]

[...] Yet I felt there were reasons for this, and had chosen to go along. [...]

[...] See the particular chosen event as one that came into your experience from the vast bank of other probable events that could have occurred.

(I think that because of the very nature of the abilities she’s chosen to develop in this life, Jane will always find such manipulations necessary. [...]

[...] In each life we experience conditions that we have chosen beforehand, circumstances and challenges tailored to fit our own needs and develop our own abilities.

[...] According to Seth these situations are not thrust upon us, but chosen.

“While such situations as Sally’s illness are chosen by the personality, the individual is always left to work out its own solution. [...]

[...] It knows it is more than the self that it has for a time chosen to be.”

[...] You have already chosen a context however, and it seems that that context is inevitable. [...] The fact remains that you have chosen the kind of consciousness that identifies with the flesh for a certain period of time. [...]

[...] Some have taken other directions, therefore, than the one that you have chosen. [...]

[...] In your chosen three-dimensional existence, however, and in those terms, your consciousness finally recognizes a death. [...]

(In his material above, concerning Jane’s search for newer, larger frameworks of belief once she began to dispense with her old “comforting” ideas, Seth very lucidly dealt with certain aspects of the role she’s chosen for this life. [...]

[...] No, the manner of death is no coincidence, it is chosen. [...]

Your own present personalities are merely the result of the particular qualities and ego-images (hyphen) upon which you have chosen to focus your energies and your intent. [...]

[...] Although you have chosen to form a particular group of qualities into a field pattern of a particular personality, upon which you focus the bulk of your energy, there are also other more shadowy, less well-constructed possibilities of personality selves that exist loosely within the psychic framework of the dominant personality, and these also have their influence. [...]

[...] They come into some prominence and fulfillment through dreams, and through enticing the main personality at times into the adoption of conscious or unconscious thoughts which would ordinarily not be chosen by the primary self, and therefore at times altering the course of the primary self.
