“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Her eyes were closed until otherwise noted. [...]

[...] (Gesture, eyes closed.) The reassurance you gave, Joseph, was your best move. [...]

[...] Jane’s eyes had stayed closed, her voice good. [...]

(Jane resumed with her eyes closed at 9:57.)

[...] We close our eyes simply because it’s easier. I suggest that you close your eyes then. [...]

[...] yeah, okay, so I ask everybody that wants to, close your eyes, since that seems to be easiest. [...]

[...] Only your determined focus upon your time conceptions closes you off from many ideas that otherwise are available.

[...] A closed mind will perceive none of this.

[...] Jane said, “that Seth had gone away, rather than staying close like he usually does—as though he’d left to gather information or something. [...]

Now I would like you to close your eyes, or leave them open if you prefer. [...]

(To Ned.) And no disappearing act will work, for wherever you can disappear to, I can follow and behind all your ostentatious openness there are closed doors. They are simply not as obvious as other people’s closed doors. [...]

[...] And why should you try to be psychically educated while closing yourself off emotionally from the others who come to class for you all have put up barriers between yourselves. [...]

([Ned:] “Could we get rid of these barriers in a sensitivity class, as close as we know?”)

As close as you know. [...]

Finally, since I opened the first essay with a line from one of Jane’s songs in Sumari, I think it appropriate to close the last essay with Sumari, too.

[...] I hadn’t asked her to do a song for this last essay; she told me afterward that she hadn’t realized I was that close to finishing it. [...]

[...] She spoke with her eyes closed for the entire session; at times her delivery was quite fast, other times it was broken by pauses. [...]

(Jane now took a very long pause, sitting motionless with her eyes closed.)

(Jane resumed in the same rather fast manner, in a good voice and with her eyes closed, at 9:44.)

[...] Her eyes had remained closed, her pace had been mostly rather fast, her voice a little stronger than usual. [...]

[...] I see each of you now with Ruburt’s eyes closed as you have been in past reincarnations and as you will be. And with Ruburt’s eyes closed there is some difficulty for I must focus psychically in order to find you as you think you are now, for I see all of you. [...] But it is difficult for me, with Ruburt’s eyes closed, for me to see you as you imagine yourself to be at this particular point in space and time. [...]

[...] It is as close to you as air. [...]

[...] It is because you have closed yourselves off from peace, and joy springs out of peace. [...]

No psychological system is closed, no consciousness is closed, regardless of any appearances to the contrary within your own system. [...]

[...] Again, the soul is not a closed system.

[...] As in the last session, Seth closed the evening’s work by delivering a page of personal material for Jane and me. [...]

[...] The data contained in the leaflet closely paralleled the dream; therefore Jane was quite pleased to discover stacks of these leaflets at the motor vehicle bureau. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed, although they began to open after a few minutes. [...]

[...] You can see easily for yourself the individual psychological variations that exist simply between the ego and the subconscious, but these portions of the self are very close. [...]

[...] She sat with her head down, her hands raised to her closed eyes. [...]

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.) This portion, while still within the three-dimensional system, is closely allied with other portions of the self that are free of that system.

[...] The living room can be closed off by old-fashioned glass doors, so we closed those and had relative privacy even though the children passed back and forth on the other side. [...] The children did not know the session was taking place; from their viewpoints we must have appeared like three adults who sat talking, and closed the doors because they didn’t want to be bothered.

[...] In wishing to close himself to such information, Ruburt would wish to close himself off from beneficial knowledge, and from the kind of exploration which in itself expands, and opens barriers that are not really barriers but doorways.

You cannot deny the normal coming of night by refusing to face it, and closing the outer eyes would only result in those very characteristics of night which the self tried to avoid. [...]

[...] The dream world is more closely connected with uncamouflaged experience in the spacious present, but it still is in a camouflage perspective, dealing with recognizable projections of material reality.

My most dear friends, I will now close our session, and may I say to Ruburt, if he will let me: Be of good cheer, for there are lights where you think there is darkness. [...]

[...] The mixture of families of consciousness allows you also to take a close look at the ways in which these tendencies merge to form communities. You are not moving into a closed psychic area, then, where everyone sees the world as you do, even generally speaking. [...]

(These notes give me a chance to hint at another in the series of “house connections” that Jane and I have become so much aware of this month — for there is a close professional relationship between the owner of the Foster Avenue house and the real estate agency through which we’re buying the house on the hill. [...]

[...] You will also have another kind of freedom: Your psychic and other creative work will be easier simply because you will not have others so close to contend with in terms of thought patterns.³

[...] The open flame, the source of cave heat, is evocative, and represents a closeness with the origins of light and life.

[...] Jane’s eyes remained closed for the entire session. [...]

[...] Her eyes had been closed and she had remained seated for the entire delivery. [...]

[...] Her eyes had remained closed, she had remained seated. [...]

(Jane resumed at a good pace and in a good voice, still seated and with her eyes closed, at 9:46.)

[...] She began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed, in a quiet voice and with short pauses.)

[...] Her eyes had remained closed, her pace the same.

(Jane resumed in the same quiet manner, her eyes again closed at 9:25.)

[...] Now they closed, and she sat back to give the data for the 56th Dr. Instream experiment.)

[...] Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed, and in a quiet voice. [...]

[...] Jane’s pace now slowed as she sat with a hand to her closed eyes. [...]

[...] If the object is not a photograph, it is closely connected. [...]

[...] (Jane gestured, her eyes still closed.) Also a connection with a building that is not seen from the front but from the side, perhaps from a verandah.

(Jane had again paused and gestured, hands up, eyes closed. [...] I had become rather concerned, considering the content of the material, and watched her closely. [...]

(Jane now paused beside my table, her eyes closed. [...]

[...] Standing with her eyes closed, she attempted to describe to me by gestures what she meant by eyelets and “another projection.” [...]

I will here close the session, giving you a fairly brief one because of circumstances, and I suggest for the rest of this week that Ruburt limit his psychological time experiments to fifteen minutes a day, rather than a half-hour, simply because he is under some strain.

[...] Jane began speaking at a slow rate, and with her eyes closed. [...]

[...] Jane waited, her eyes closed.)

[...] Her eyes remained closed as the session progressed; they looked heavy and bleary at break. [...]

(Jane resumed in the same manner, with pauses and with her eyes closed, at 9:31.)

[...] She resumed, seated in the rocker and with her eyes closed, at 10:15.)

(At 10:22, her eyes closed, Jane took the envelope for our 65th experiment from me and pressed it to her forehead in a more or less vertical position.)

[...] An oval shape, or eye shape—that is, this kind of an eye, you see (her eyes closed, Jane pointed to one of her own) inside of a rectangle or triangle.

(Jane lowered the envelope to her lap, her eyes closed.

[...] Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. [...]

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.)

[...] Perhaps a connection with the new house—its inhabitants, or with those closely connected with it.

[...] Jane’s eyes were closed and she was very restless.)
