“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It would involve the various mechanics necessary for such communications on my part; the necessary preliminaries in order to make Ruburt aware of my presence initially—

[...] It would include my statements as to how these communications take place, and what manipulations are necessary from my side.

[...] There must be some sort of psychological structure present for me to use during my communications, generally speaking.

Channels, psychological and psychic, always exist, sending communications back and forth through the various levels of the self, and the ego accepts necessary information and data from inner portions of the personality without question. [...] The ego, in other words, the “exterior” self that you think of as your self — that portion of you maintains its safety and its seeming command precisely because inner layers of your own personality constantly uphold it, keep the physical body operating, and maintain communications with the multitudinous stimuli that come both from outside conditions and inside conditions. [...]

[...] Now, I communicate through this level of Ruburt’s consciousness. [...] And again, I communicate through that level. [...]

[...] It is entirely possible however, using Ruburt as an example, for Ruburt’s number six self, to communicate with Ruburt’s number one self; these communications sifting through the intervening selves however, and unfortunately. [...]

It is because of the peculiar connection of selves that our communications are possible. It is for the same reason that such communications are relatively rare, for many conditions and circumstances are necessary; and the number one self is made to bear strains unfamiliar to it, and to perceive data which does not make sense within its number one time system.

The difficulty lies in making this communication, which is direct from me, to what would be Ruburt’s time three self, clear to the time one self of Ruburt’s, which must speak these words, in what could be called Priestley’s time one.

[...] Then Ruburt did not communicate because he did not want to worry you, since he knew your confidence was no better than his.

It is highly important that you do keep up your communications with each other, and that you begin each day in one way or another by stating your faith in the body’s processes. [...]

[...] Everything in the session is important—keeping up your communication and so forth.

He might have died of heart trouble by the age of 40, for literally his heart would have been broken, and communication between the two of you would have quite fallen away. [...]

In a way, then, the session will continue at another level of communication. [...]

You are both acquiring a facility in communication between the ego and the subconscious, which is enabling you to increase the efficiency of your overall behavior.

[...] Certain tensions are maintained here, and all communications, incidentally, are the results of tensions.

The thought received in telepathic communications will not, therefore, be the exact thought that was transmitted, but a close approximation, a creative distortion, actually created by the receiver. [...]

Clear emotional communication on your part will be most valuable here. [...]

[...] I found it hard to believe that telepathy hadn’t been more of a help in at least unconscious communication.)

[...] You did not until recently make a practice of communicating feelings to each other on any consistent basis. [...]

([Joel:] “I am wondering if as we continue to get ourselves into the emotional level if we will experience less distortion at the communicational level, or if rather dealing extensively at the communicational level, if we will be able to communicate intuitively or telepathically?”)

[...] Conversely, if you had a child it would have been much more difficult for you to make communication with me, because of the direction of your own energy and focus. [...]

[...] Now you amplify our communications in a very highly charged manner. [...]

[...] Then you can communicate with them... You cannot communicate with your fellows unless you know who and what you are, and unless you can make a bridge from yourself to others.

However, the doctor of whom I am speaking also has an excellent bedside manner, so to speak (humorous and slow) and he usually communicates with other levels of the personality that are unknown to the ego. [...]

My ideas are so different from those with which she has been accustomed that it was difficult for us to communicate. [...]

You are yourselves aware of other planes to some degree, and to some degree you can communicate with them as you communicate with your cat. [...]

[...] But these dream images work for the entity as a whole and serve as a means for the various personalities to communicate. [...]

[...] Through means I cannot explain at this date I could not speak through Ruburt without you, and a kink in your own present personality would quite prevent me from communicating with you alone, if indeed Ruburt would allow it. [...]

[...] Yet Seth certainly knew what he was doing, for he used his own unorthodox method of communication as a case in point.

[...] This communication goes on constantly, but your ego is so focused upon physical reality and survival within it that you do not hear the inner voice. [...]

As far as I can see, Seth’s reference to hypnosis had to do with the “training” undergone by some mediums in which hypnosis is used to initiate and stabilize the trance state, and occasionally to call forth the communications of “control” personalities. [...]

[...] These fragments—Jane Roberts is one of them—are entirely independent as to action and decision, yet the inner psychic components are constantly in communication with the whole self of which they are part. [...]

[...] It is not simply that they communicate with you, or you with them, so much as it is that in sleep the conventional properties that you have learned are somewhat loosened and abandoned. [...] You see a species of consciousness, a species that must remain unexplained in any normal explanations of evolution, and these hint at the communications that exist at all levels (intently), protecting not only the genetic references necessary to your own kind, but the combinations [...]

[...] Scientists do not know how many species exist on earth—only that they total in the billions.) If you read it sideways, so to speak, you would still end up with an orderly universe, but one in which the nature of identity would be read completely differently, stressing adjacent subjective communications of a conscious kind that form other kinds or patterns of subjectivity and psychological continuity. [...]

[...] Therefore even for us, communication was somewhat difficult, distorted and restrained. [...] His periods of communication are necessarily brief, simply because he is unable at this time to utilize his energy to that direction with any effectiveness.

[...] (Pause.) You are both emotionally-based individuals, and you will be open to each other’s communications, which is all to the good. [...]

People were not nearly as isolated as it now appears, for in their dreams early men communicated their various locations, the symbols of their cultures and understanding, the nature of their arts. All of the inventions that you often think now happened quite by chance—the discovery of anything from the first tool to the importance of fire, or the coming of the Iron Age or whatever—all of that inventiveness was the result of the inspiration and communication of the dream world. [...]

The perspective from which you watch world events is vital, and it is true that communication now brings to the conscious mind a far greater barrage than before. [...]

(To Warren:) Now, when you learn to communicate with the gracious ease with which those primitive people communicated, then you can call yourself civilized. You [as a member of the human species] do indeed see yourself as the supreme flower of history so far, yet when you can know what is going on clearly and concisely on the other side of Elmira, and can communicate it also, then you will be as primitive and as civilized as some of those primitive people.

[...] The experiences will give you some small glimmering of unfortunate but necessary loss of meaning that occurs when any concept must be communicated in physical ways.

[...] The Seth personality that is a part of me is the portion that can most clearly communicate with you. [...]

[...] There exists, in other words, what could almost be compared to a psychological and psychic warp in dimensions, (pause) and that corner in Ruburt’s personality is an apex point at which communication and contact can be made.

[...] This is rather important, since an explanation will do much to account for the frequent difference that occurs in telepathic communications.

With our new system of communication, interruptions are shocking to Ruburt. [...]

[...] The material I gave last night gives valuable information as to how to communicate with that portion of the personality, and bring it up to date, for example. [...]

The Sinful Self is “an artificial psychological construct”—thrust upon the natural self to some degree, and at one time it objected thoroughly against such conditioning, so with communication it will be glad to let those old beliefs go —as long as the entire affair is not allowed to go underground, of course.
