“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Again, she has solved the problems that she set, and brought forth in her husband compassion and understanding, qualities that greatly help in his own development.

Seth rarely gives reincarnational data unless it is directly tied in with the overall development of an individual’s present life, and he refuses to give past life histories, for example, to those he thinks will not apply the lessons involved. [...]

[...] In the past the psychic abilities were used for the wrong purposes; therefore, they did not fully develop and the personality was at a standstill.

[...] What you have instead is something like the developments narrated in The Three Faces of Eve. You have dominant egos, all a part of an inner identity, dominant in various existences. [...]

The fullest potentialities cannot be developed unless the physical aspects are also developed. Your job is to manipulate as well as you can within the physical universe, and to develop within it religious leaders of any denomination. Any leaders who restrict development along one level for the sake of development along other levels, betray their followers.

[...] I will give you hints of further developments, and you will have hints of your own. [...]

[...] What seems to you like inner difficulties or problems, or lack of success, like Ruburt’s desolations, serve as the very impetus to development. [...]

[...] I have been strict concerning our schedule, since conditioning must be set up, and while we always allowed for some spontaneity, it was necessary that Ruburt develop greater efficiency in his handling of the trance state.

Suggestion would of course play a part in the development of these abilities. [...]

It goes without saying that each newborn consciousness within your system carries within it the capsule comprehension of which I have previously spoken; and if you recall, each atom and molecule, each and every smallest particle that can by any stretch of the imagination be called physical matter, contains within it its own independent capsule comprehension—inherent suggestions in coded form, in not one but several codes, that give complete instructions for development and growth.

[...] Here suggestion constantly plays its part in the formation of the tissues, and in all other such areas of development and growth. [...]

[...] There are all different kinds of artistic development, of course, some more than others directly concerned with the play of life itself upon the artistic capacity, so that generally speaking, now, there are certain kinds of developments that in your world require the personality’s encounter with years of experience. [...]

Developments of that nature do not come to the young. [...]

[...] Your work is still developing. [...]

[...] It must be remembered that at the start of this experiment neither of us knew what would develop.)

[...] Because I am attached to Ruburt now, his ideas of course color many of mine, so his fear of the passing years developed upon your fear of them ten years ago, projected now into your future, as ten years older than he. [...]

[...] I go along with the psychic development, as long as it adds to your work and influences it. [...]

[...] I released the creativity full force then in the beginning of Adventures and the new (Sumari) development.

[...] Everyone who has left your plane has developed as far as he can on your plane. But as in your life certain environments tend to encourage some people in the realization of their talents, and seem to hinder others in the development of their peculiar talents, so some personalities expand in their capabilities on your plane; and some who do rather poorly on your plane expand surprisingly on other planes.

[...] This requirement for fullest use of capabilities has nothing to do with opportunity in the social sense, although of course the particular social framework will have much to do with the particular development of certain abilities.

The personality when it leaves your plane for good will have developed its potentials as far as it possibly can. [...]

Without knowing what he was doing Ruburt has been developing his inner senses to an almost amazing degree, but naturally he did this unknowingly, pursuing other aims. [...]

[...] When conceptual thought develops far enough, then it is imagined that all energy originates from what seems to be a closed system; and this misconception then colors all deductions made concerning the nature of energy itself.

As individual reliance upon the outer senses develops, the personality to a large degree relies upon them, and gradually loses the habit of relying upon the more familiar inner senses utilized mainly in infancy and childhood. [...]

They should be taken up again, and alternated with the above directions, according to your development.

(Pause.) You had some time ago an old newspaper article you had saved, on the dangers of using the words “should” or “would” too often—and there is perhaps nothing else you could do that is as detrimental to the true development of the natural self. Part of the difficulty in what Ruburt thinks of as the development of his abilities, or the more frequent insertion of inspirational work of his own, is the very fact that he feels so responsible to so thusly perform. [...]

[...] (Pause.) He would see to it that as many persons as possible had the opportunity to see a session, and he would furthermore also be developing his own psychic experience at a far greater rate. [...]

[...] Parallel developments in religion and government always echo the state of consciousness and its purposes. “Pagan” practices, giving far more leeway to sexual identification and expression, continued well into the 16th century, and the so-called occult underground heretical teachings tried to encourage the development of personal intuition.

Any true psychic development of personality, however, is bound to lead to an understanding of the nature of the psyche that is far too large for any such confusion of basic identity with sexuality. [...]

[...] my experiences put me outside the pale; on the other side of the fence from, say, the academic circles that I’d so respected; that my experience with other people was going to be vastly different; I thought I was looking for truth, but I’d be one of those under suspicion because of the kind of person into which I’d developed.... [...]

[...] I call them semipersonalities merely to point out that they are not as developed as you are, as you are not as developed as your entity is. [...]

[...] None of the communications from me have been in any way conducive to a development toward mental or emotional instability. [...]

[...] Your development of the inner senses will not blot out the outer world. [...]

[...] They are independent to varying degrees, and they operate on various planes for purposes of overall fulfillment and development.

[...] We were discussing the material Seth had given after 11:38 in the last [712th] session; he’d talked about some of the strains Jane had experienced while serving “the first portion of her apprenticeship” in the development of her psychic abilities. [...]

[...] For whatever reasons since holding the 709th session, she hasn’t had to wait for that certain, more “difficult” kind of trance to develop before launching into Seth’s book material; see the note at 10:55 for that session. [...]

[...] At the same time you were determined to set yourself apart from the world to some extent, while still maintaining and developing an emotional contact with a mate that would be unlike any in your earlier experience. [...]

[...] When you are born, that will is directed toward growth and development. [...]

[...] Yet there is a great correlation between what you think of as creativity, altered states of consciousness, play, and “spiritual” development.

[...] Physically, play develops their body mechanisms. [...]

[...] Spiritual development becomes a goal that must be attained. [...]

I keep returning to natural analogies — but plants do not work at developing their potential. [...]

[...] I did not care for this idea but decided to see what developed, mainly for future reference.

I found you in certain physical circumstances, some of which were psychically unfavorable, but before a mutual trust was developed I could hardly make any such suggestions. [...]

Nor will anything be gained by a patent and speedy program that is not solidly based on understanding, both understanding of the self in particular, and what you may call the mechanics involved in the creation of the illness itself, and in an understanding of those elements which caused the personality to develop the illness.

Nor do we want to rid him of one illness so quickly that he still feels a need for it, for in such a case he would indeed very promptly develop another. [...]

[...] The discipline required in following our program as it develops, that discipline will itself represent the first steps to recovery.

[...] But while the need is there something else would develop, and so we will show you the way out of the need. [...]

[...] The rigidity, while conducive to the development of creativity, also has temptations, in that a certain pride can become psychically sterile or ingrown. However in this existence the personality has opened up to a more considerable degree, and for its own development should continue to do so.

[...] Jane and I feel that we cannot rush her development, nor do we have any desire to, so the letter left us somewhat at a loss; we finally decided to let events take their course, and send the A.S.P.R. any data in which they might be interested, when, if ever, it manifested itself.

His abilities along electronic lines are not at all surprising, having been developed in various ways through previous existences. [...]

[...] It is ridiculous to develop camouflage vehicles to deal with camouflage space, when all that is necessary is that you realize that camouflage is camouflage. [...]

[...] Beyond that, however, it may help initiate important insights, and has the possibility of bringing about extremely important developments. [...]

[...] The gene bank contains multitudinous—in fact, numberless —varieties of development, meant to insure against unimaginable catastrophes, changes or climate, or whatever. [...]

These developments reoccur now and then in trial runs, so to speak, restating various genetic positions, though they often appear in your world as abnormalities. [...]

The limits of identity are arbitrary on your part, developed throughout the stages of your evolutionary process, not for any reason inherent in identity itself, but merely for purely practical reasons on your physical field, having to do with the amount of matter that various kinds of identities could effectively manipulate and control.

[...] But psychic gestalts develop in terms of value fulfillment, and it is known at the first appearance of a physical pattern how long the particular to-be-built-up gestalt will be maintained.

[...] Capsule comprehension exists even in the smallest particle of energy, and even within the smallest particle of energy there exists all possibilities of development and creation.
