“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] As we went inside, I stopped dead. [...]

[...] Springtime again — the release of energy, the flowering of a landscape that, by all appearances, had been dead and nearly lifeless only weeks before. [...]

[...] In some dreams individuals see what they imagine to be the image of their own dead self. [...]

[...] And peace is not a dead thing. [...]

[...] (Jane dictates:) Lived in the third house before the end of a dead-end lane. [...]

[...] * Quite emotional, as if he was dead and I wanted him. [...]

[...] [She was a friend of my mother’s, now dead.] I took the envelope to contain notification of my mother’s death. [...]

[...] In fact, you have an old superstition in some parts of your own country, that a man is not truly dead until everyone who ever knew him is dead. [...]

Later he finds a pyramid-shaped pile of dead puppies, representing the death of old beliefs that had lingered from his childhood. [...]

[...] Doctor Kiley is also dead, has been for some years, at least seven, and was a brother of Helen McIlwain; she was in my dream of November 8, relating to my mother and Seth’s subsequent statements concerning her death. [...]

(I thought the dream was another very positive one, and meant that Jane and I have left behind the old dead beliefs represented by Del. [...]

When you try to explore the psyche in deadly seriousness, it will always escape you. [...]

(Jane said she thought the other person I had helped astrally, from high-school days, was dead. [...]

[...] These activities certainly represent evolution through conscious intent, guided by the same creature who insists that no sort of consciousness could have been responsible for the origin or development of “life,” let alone the “dead” matter of his planet. [...] I have yet to see in those accounts anything about the role consciousness will play in this truly miraculous conversion of dead matter into that of the living. [...]

[...] Basically, then, an overall genetics of cooperation becomes a truer long-run concept than the postulated deadly struggle for survival of the fittest, whether between man and molecules, say, or among members of the same species. [...]

[...] Probabilities aside, when Seth talks about cells [or their components] recombining as parts of plant or animal forms, as he does in the 705th session, Jane and I don’t take that to mean the evolution, or alteration, of one species into another — but that a unity of consciousness pervades all elements in our environment, whether “alive” or “dead.” With the concept of probabilities in mind, however, much of the “thrust for development and change” that Seth also mentions as existing inside all organisms, could just as well take place in those other realities. [...]

[...] How is it that as living creatures we’re made up of ingredients — atoms of iron, molecules of water, for instance — from a supposedly dead world? [...]

(11:01.) Those selves are not dead, in other words. [...]

“Is your wife alive or dead?”
     DEAD

I told Jane after the session that her material brings up innumerable questions—that just from our side, in physical reality, the variety of connections between the living and the “dead” has to equal the number of individuals on earth. [...] How ironic, that the one still physical grieves for the departed loved one, while that newly dead individual is joyfully becoming aware of connections with other existences, other loves….

One can, of course, turn the whole thing around in various ways: The freshly dead person, still carrying his or her nonmaterial emotions, can feel a grief equal to that of the one left behind; their mutual sorrow can form a bond stronger, perhaps at least temporarily, than those created by either one in other lives with other people. Or the one still “alive” can turn away from the dead partner, relative, or friend in order to be psychically and physically free for new adventures. [...]

[...] Your main belief systems lead you to feel that your present life is singular, unsupported by any knowledge of prior experience with existence, and fated to be cut off or dead-ended without a future. [...]

[...] The more or less general acceptance of the theory of reincarnation, however, would automatically alter your social systems, add to the richness of experience, and in particular insert a fresh feeling for the future, so that you did not feel your lives dead-ended.

I am saying, of course, that there is no such thing as dead matter. [...]

[...] Even if I’d helped her create such a lifestyle in the past, unwittingly, I was certainly dead-set against it now, and had been for several years. [...]

[...] If I am not solemn, and I am supposed to be dead, then why do you have such long faces? [...]
