“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Psychically, developments appear in class. [...] Therefore, Ruburt’s new class energy is the first development that shows. [...]

[...] The psychic development did not just occur. Your deepest natures called it out of the probable sequence into your reality—for a reason, because (each of) you knew that it could best develop all of your (respective) abilities to their fullest, and also help others.

In this framework you see yourselves as individuals and as partners in a remarkable creative endeavor that will develop your main abilities easily, and without strain and inhibition. [...]

[...] Whenever psychic developments show themselves then, Ruburt improves in health, as he allows his energies their spontaneous play and expression. [...]

[...] Seth Two didn’t come through, but some very interesting effects developed later in the session. [...]

[...] And there will be other developments out of our sessions, and other books of my own also.

Many of these developments were dependent upon understandings. [...]

[...] Understand that individuals themselves between lives choose the time of their own birth, adopting ahead of time those characteristics that they feel will best aid their development, and challenge their abilities.

[...] The difficulty would lie in the drain upon his time, for people would want readings: and again, look for miracles rather than self-understanding and self-development.

[...] Jane seemed to leave trance quickly, yet as it developed she did not really do so. [...]

Even his desolations, of which I know, lead him to continue a search for understanding, and serve as an impetus to further development. [...]

You deal then with a single-line type of within-physical-time development, and tend to ignore the value fulfillment kind of development which is entirely independent of a time structure. [...]

[...] He has an innate talent for making money, that has not been developed nor used for these reasons; and all suggestions made by him to you have been regarded by you as threats, and he felt that the suggestions were mistakes on his part. [...]

[...] I am saying be cautious, for while certain periods of time seem necessary within your system for the development of your work, that the ideas of limited time on a daily or weekly basis can slow down the intuitional qualities of your work and growth.

[...] The last on time is connected, incidentally, with what we have been speaking of, for it can lead to an insistence upon outer realities, and result in a lack of inner intuitional development, which alone is the fountainhead of true art.

The intellect is a part of the ego, and its development is important. [...] Otherwise full use of the intuitions would be relied upon and the intellect would not develop, for the intellect is an important feature in the further specialization of individual consciousness and identity.

(In the 63rd session of June 17,1964, Seth said that Peggy Gallagher’s subconscious abilities were well developed. [...] However the friendship between the four of us did not begin to develop until early this year.

[...] I mentioned in our last session that the scientists did not realize that man has indeed evolved since the development of the human brain. [...]

[...] As it developed we did not ask Seth for specific information on the impressions, so I do not know whether they were merely too far-ranging for our purposes, or simply errors. [...]

[...] You are all developing and growing, whether or not you are consciously aware of it, and when you gather together there are beneficial developments that you do not understand, and that I am not prepared to explain to you this evening, for it would take too much of your time. [...]

[...] And each of you are given information according to the developments and characteristics of that particular portion of yourself who is attending. [...]

[...] Even then, the smallest consciousness within its own terms of value fulfillment can emerge, can change, can alter, can develop. [...]

[...] This automatically meant that emerging man, in that framework, must let go of a certain kind of animal comprehension that was extremely valuable overall, but could inhibit ego growth … For many centuries there was no clear-cut differentiation between various species of man and animal … There were also, of course, parallel developments in the emergence of physical man. [...] At the same time a great give-and-take was occurring at all levels — including vegetation, for example — so that together the creatures and the earth worked out the kind of stability best suited for the particular kind of developments that were to emerge.

[...] Many individuals show variations that actually represent future developments of consciousness; we’re experimenting with these probabilities … There are actually species of consciousness, but we don’t recognize them as such. [...]

[...] of a family nature that has not yet developed, but that will develop shortly.

You have nothing to do with making the movie, nothing to do with the plot or the characters, yet you can see the ending, and from the action you know what the developments will bring. You in no way affected the developments within the action; nor were they predestined, but worked out by the characters involved.

One dream can change the development of a personality, and change his physical course. [...] But the dream is not predestined, and the dream develops because of the personality involved.

The family situation is not immediate, this week for example, but it is developing.

I mention this here simply because in the overall development of an individual, an illness may also be used as a method to achieve another, constructive, end. [...]

Because you are reasoning as creatures, because you have available such varieties of experience, the [human] species developed reasoning abilities that are meant to evolve and grow as they are used. [...]

[...] Existing in such diversified, rich environment-possibilities, the human psyche needed and developed a conscious mind that could make fairly concise and accurate “minute by minute” judgments and evaluations. [...]

[...] This unexpected kind of session rarely develops these days, but, as Jane said later, the subjects under discussion were “emotionally charged” for her — and for others present, too, I might add. [...]

[...] As Warren made similar remarks about the development of individual consciousness through historical times to our point of civilization, Seth suddenly and unexpectedly came through loudly and forcefully:

(Warren: “But isn’t this stuff all about the development of ego consciousness?”)

It did not serve your species’ purposes at this time to work with the mind — with telepathy, with the feeling for the earth that you could have developed.

[...] No one tells you that you must develop. Nevertheless, the desire to develop is within you. [...]

[...] Their own development however would not be as complete had they chosen to ignore the responsibility. [...]

[...] To the extent that you do not develop your abilities and project them into physical realities are you sorrowful. [...]

[...] With Ruburt’s eyes open, I can see you as he sees you as a particular personality in this particular space and time and then, you see, I can place you within your own development. [...]

(A very interesting session developed tonight, also. [...]

(At 9:16 Jane said she was waiting to see what developed, that she was getting a hint of the pyramid feeling; which usually means that Seth’s entity will speak in place of Seth. [...]

The speaker at your end must necessarily do the translating, and the purity of the translation, relatively speaking, is determined by the speaker’s own development. [...]

Such sessions as yours aid in such development, and automatically begin to alter certain electromagnetic patterns inherent in the personality: so that in your terminology the circuits can receive greater charge quite safely. [...]

[...] Much of this present manuscript, Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, deals with the development of the individual as it is primarily concerned with the development of the universe: The two are one. [...]

[...] Later tonight I want to offer a little more about this overall development—but people speak for their Seths entirely without Jane’s permission. [...]

[...] Being inspired to use one’s own abilities is a perfectly understandable development that we can be very happy about. [...]

There are, however, no rules dictating the sexual development in varying incarnations, except that experience with both sexes must be taken on, and the various characteristics developed. [...] Some, for example, find it far easier to develop as one sex or the other, and will need more opportunities for experience as the sex with which they experience difficulty.

At the end of the reincarnational cycle, the whole self is far more developed than it was before. [...]

We are attempting in these sessions to develop both of your abilities in many areas, while we still maintain a most necessary balance of development so that one part of you does not get top-heavy, and topple over. [...]

The woman involved could gain immeasurably through the development of her own abilities. [...] At the same time the difficulty experienced by her ego cries out for the sort of fulfillment that could be achieved through the development of these abilities.

[...] As it developed, we had no witnesses.

[...] The maintenance of overall equilibrium has been excellently maintained, with nevertheless optimum results as far as the development of your psychic abilities. [...]

[...] I lay without moving a muscle, trying to encourage further developments without straining. The floating-free sensation continued, but I wasn’t able to develop it further.

(The session this evening, Wednesday, developed rather spontaneously out of several factors that combined almost effortlessly. The recent Sumari developments involving both of us played a part. [...]

[...] There is not a one-line development. By the time that feasible intersystem space travel is practical, the psychic abilities are developed to a very high degree. [...]

[...] Now I sent Jane messages that she would leave me undistracted, but nothing developed. [...]

[...] Much of what we talked about is developed in the brief session that followed. [...]

It is Ruburt’s nature you see to accept heartily or to disagree heartily, to plunge headlong into, or to run from, and the psychic developments made it impossible for him to do either; or rather his reactions made wholehearted acceptance or rejection impossible. [...]

[...] This was one of the reasons for the table developments, and these will be followed by others.

[...] Your abilities will be developed as far as you can develop them within this plane of existence.

The constant line of chatter developed by your one brother (Loren, a year younger than I am) was of course a defense to close out the constant telepathic storm. [...]

You will then develop them further. [...]

[...] (Pause.) You will help give knowledge and inspiration to others even while you continue to develop your own abilities on another level. [...]

From itself, therefore, and of itself, consciousness gave birth to its new dimension of experience, and then experienced what it had created, further extending itself and in turn bringing forth further possibilities of development.

They are still but a portion of prime identity, and without them, prime identity could not know itself nor act upon itself nor develop its own abilities or potentials.

[...] You also then know and develop yourselves through your own creations, and you automatically create and maintain your physical environment in the same manner that you breathe. [...]

[...] You used to tell him (underline used) not to tell everyone his good news, for example, perhaps lest it did not develop. [...] Later he himself did not trust any good development, and so felt unsure in expressing it. [...]

[...] I am keeping up with his progress, and these hints for him are uniquely tailored for his present development. [...]
