“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Despite the beliefs and teachings of religion and psychology, impulses are biological and psychic directional signals, meant to nudge the individual toward his/her greatest opportunities for expression and development privately—and also to insure the person’s contribution to mass social reality.”

(We sat for the session to see if it would develop after all.)

[...] Those who possessed such gifts knew it at once, but they must walk a cautious path while still allowing the abilities expression and insuring their development. [...]

[...] They have within them the power to develop and mature. [...]

Your own discussions, and the improvement in your relationship as I told you, in one way is responsible for your latest developments in our sessions, and I include the Sumari—the songs, and the statement. [...]

Other developments have been mentioned. [...]

Rembrandt took the discovery with him, though you initially developed it for sculpture that stood outside. [...]

[...] All fragments have within them the potentialities to grow to whatever height of development they choose. [...]

[...] You are working toward certain kinds of development that can happen, in your terms and in your terms only, only in your space and in your time. [...]

[...] And so your own development follows your inner dictates, both when you are alone, and when you are in class. [...]

([Mark:] “Then if you have a responsibility it should be an opportunity to develop yourself, not a self-sacrifice?”)

[...] We are attempting to develop Ruburt’s abilities. They are not fully developed by any means.

[...] However, this is a rather permissive relationship in many respects, and one of my primary concerns has been to allow both of you to recognize and develop your own abilities.

My interest is in the development of the abilities. [...]

(It developed that Leonard, who previously had told us he would be home for the evening, had just heard from friends and was going out for beer; he was unavailable after all. [...]

You will develop. [...]

[...] These outer senses are developed to cope with these particular camouflage patterns which the personality will meet in its various environments. [...]

[...] It developed that during the exchange with Seth Jane had thought I used the word fluid, instead of fluent. [...]

[...] Jane’s and my hospital experiences have already become so involved that I’ve begun to think of describing them—and whatever they may develop into—in a series of chronologically ordered introductory essays for Dreams, instead of the more conventional introduction I’d been expecting to write. [...] Without knowing anything, I know that we’ll need much time in which to understand all of the deeply moving and conflicting emotional, psychic, and intellectual events connected with this development. [...]

[...] As Seth said three years ago: “Consciousness attempts to grow toward its own ideal development, which also promotes the ideal development of all organizations in which it takes part.⁹

What, then, are those “ideal developments” Jane and I are growing toward? [...]

It’s quite clear, of course, that the nations of the West, including that “Great Satan,” the United States, are, with Japan, keeping the fanatical Iranian mullahs (Moslem religious teachers) in power, so that their country will not be taken over by the Tudeh, Iran’s Communist Party; that most unwelcome development could place Iran under Russian domination. [...]

[...] Jane had begun delivering the Seth material late in 1963, and soon afterwards Seth started developing his ideas on probabilities.¹ Many times while looking at the snapshots since then I’d found myself speculating about the probable realities surrounding their two young subjects. [...]

(I reminded her that I hoped Seth would comment on the old photograph of her in connection with probable realities, although now I could see that it would take him longer to develop answers than I’d thought it would. [...]

[...] In this world the artistic abilities were put first, but the mystical nature was given greater chances to expand and develop. [...]

[...] She’s been working on the project for some time along with her other books, and it may develop into more than one volume.

[...] When I came back from the john, she suddenly was able to grasp the right edge of the papers with her right hand—a totally unexpected development, one that I hadn’t expected yet at all. [...]

(This development, I told her, will free her mind as well as the body. [...]

[...] No session developed at that sitting, however—in itself this is quite an unusual occurrence. [...]

The idea of a time sequence (pause), is a psychological method of separating such experience for practical purposes at a given level of development. [...]

[...] Was I trying to develop one of those here in my own physical reality? [...]

(I discussed with Jane the questions I’d thought of when Seth had commented, above, on “… how limiting previous concepts of psychology have been.”: As a discipline, why was psychology so narrowly developed? [...]

[...] Instead, the words “domination” and “submission” have to do with areas of consciousness and its development. [...]

[...] These provide both a psychic and social framework for personal growth, understanding, and development. [...]

[...] You do not worry about the child’s development, for you realize that he will learn better.

[...] You see him in but one stage of development. [...]

[...] And yet beyond your system there are refinements impossible to describe and further developments more miraculous than those that have gone before. [...]

[...] The ego to a large degree, therefore, chooses during its development those characteristic actions which will form its nature. [...]

[...] An ego which once accepted such an idea of violence, and knew it as a possibility of action, such an ego, if he then rejects the conception, can no longer afford, ever, to recognize this once acceptable emotion, for he is only too aware of the action that could have at one time developed.

[...] Possibilities for development here are very great, but most such possibilities lie still in the future, and only, so far, as possibilities. [...]

[...] You are at a certain level of development or you would not be here. Because you are at this level of development, you are ready and able to use your abilities more. [...]

[...] You (Florence) are meant to teach other classes, but you must develop you own abilities to do so. [...]

Now: Ruburt’s sensing of the channels does represent a development and has been possible for some time; but it is only now entering his experience. [...]

[...] I mention it here in case something develops. [...]

[...] It could also discuss the same question from the view of the growth of the human body and the development, say, of cancer cells that break out of a conforming pattern and superimpose a ‘new’ one, their own, on the unit structure….

[...] Also involved is the development of the consciousness itself, and its overall characteristic method of handling experience.

[...] Some will exist and develop their abilities in different systems of reality altogether, and so for a time will remain in this “intermediary” state.

[...] The opportunities for growth and development are very rich, however, and the learning methods at your disposal very effective.

[...] The division between the subject who creates the environment, and the object-(hyphen) environment, which is created, is an artificial but necessary development.

This development is necessary upon your plane because of the training in the manipulation of energy which is required there. [...]

New senses are developed to perceive new creations. [...]

[...] It develops that at about the precise time I had induced the desired state in myself, while lying on the bed in our bedroom, Jane had been sitting quietly in the living room, almost dozing on the couch. [...]

[...] As it developed, she slept through, and felt somewhat better when morning came.)

[...] Theoretically only, with drugs it would be possible to be lost within an idea, caught in its electromagnetic reality, and forced to follow the ramifications and developments of the idea in various guises. [...] There would be development within that system, but you would be lost to your own system.

[...] You don’t want to say any more about those exciting developments in Ruburt’s body?”)

[...] It will be interesting to see what develops. [...]
