“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A man who makes shoes may see his customers, but he will not know what roads his customers walk in his shoes—and you cannot know the mental and psychic changes for the better that the books are making in parents and their children. When you disapprove of yourselves, such factors escape you entirely, or become lost in other worries.

Both he and his customers follow the same psychic map. [...]

[...] On the other hand, many of his customers of course must look further, and despite themselves realize that this bit of truth is a pretty postcard, in James’s words, and they yearn for some kind of a deeper originality—an authenticity, a spark of something that will be instantly recognized.

[...] Each expedition sends “letters” back home, commenting upon the behavior, customs, environment, and history of the land in which it finds itself.

[...] (Humorously): You do not know the customs. [...]

Animals can be obedient to their masters, and be healthy and exuberant at the same time, but in the terms of nature, no matter what social customs might say, no person can be obedient to a master and be healthy and exuberant at the same time. [...]

[...] Each person is born, however, with his or her—let me correct that—each person is born there with a private natural religion—one that rises from the springs of the individual psyche, and one that provides an easy, custom-made method of dealing with inner and outer reality. [...]

[...] Rather, the O’Neill’s plan to rent it out for “the season” at a healthy sum, as is the custom at Lake Keuka. [...]

[...] At one time, in your terms, each custom had a meaning. [...] So there are psychic customs as there are physical ones, religious and psychic dogmas, guided tours of consciousness in which you are told to follow a certain line or a certain program. [...]

[...] In times past in particular, though the custom is not dead, men purged themselves, wore ashes and beat themselves with chains, or went hungry or otherwise deprived themselves. [...]

[...] My informant also mentioned the Jupenlasz harness shop in Mansfield, which I recall well, and talked of a Jupenlasz cousin, who runs it now; and there are still customers....

[...] Your own behavior, customs, sciences, arts, and disciplines are in a way uniquely yours, yet they also provide glimpses into the ways in which various groupings of abilities can be used to probe into the “unknown” reality.

[...] They may say that since an individual chose his or her problems in this life — deciding for instance to be born black, or poor, or both — that karma is being worked out; therefore such issues should not be adjusted through a change of law or custom. [...]

Asia was where you saw him though he was in many other places, traveling in his middle years (Jane dictates:) doing penance for his sins according to the customs of the age.

[...] Since starting the series of sessions that make up “Unknown” Reality, it’s becoming something of a custom for her to deliver a little material on other subjects after book dictation; she did so again now, and finished the session at 11:51 P.M.

[...] Some of the divisions between different portions of the self, therefore, are not basically necessary but are the result of custom and convenience.

[...] Once again, following his recent custom, Seth delivered several additional pages of material on topics not connected to “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] In this case the garageman would have a healing effect on the customers, and he would be fixing more than cars.

[...] Again, the return to the natural world reinforces feelings of creature brotherhood, and serves to connect you with your kind, even while you admit the vast differences in beliefs, customs, religions and so forth.

[...] You may find different customs and languages, yet even these will be accepted in the vast, overall, basic assumptions within whose boundaries physical life occurs. [...]
