“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You two have largely worked alone, and your work goals involve of course the development of personality characteristics that must apply to artistic work. [...]

[...] They are individuals, doing their best to develop their abilities and their lives—but your indignation was moral in narrow terms, rather than in quite acceptable artistic ones. [...]

So many developments occurred in the following months that it is difficult to cover them all. [...] Our experiments in what Seth calls “Psychological Time” helped us develop our own psychic abilities. [...]

[...] Even so, Seth said that my strong ego was an asset to our work when I didn’t overdo it, since it kept my whole personality on an even keel and allowed me the psychological strength to handle and develop my abilities.

It is important for your training and development that consciousness be brought into the dream state.

[...] However for the further development of consciousness and of identity, the so-called waking I can be of great benefit.

[...] With continued development you will be able to keep appointments and pass information in the dream state, and have your records to prove it.

—there are hidden aspects involved with creativity, of course—stages of development that do not show. [...]

[...] The inner psychological distance must become surfacely portrayed, instantly translated to the audience, so that for him there is the same kind of reaction that he might have in talking to others overly much about a book of his own in progress—as if he might talk out the book, and therefore not need to write it, while at the same time losing much of the inner development that might otherwise give the book its own deeper meanings. [...]

[...] Behind all that you have earlier aspects of Ruburt’s life, involving habits of secrecy developed in childhood, the need for protection and so forth, that simply served to help build the framework. [...]

[...] Perhaps Seth will develop it in another work. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) It depends upon conscious thinking, problem-solving methods, and it is a natural human blossoming, a spectacular mental development in its own framework of activity.

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

(Long pause.) I am not simply saying that genetic activity can be changed, for example, through something like a nuclear accident, but that highly beneficial alterations can also take place in genetic behavior, as in your terms the genetic structure not only prepares the species for any contingency, but also prepares it by triggering those characteristics and abilities that are needed by the species at any given time, and also by making allowances for such future developments (all quite forcefully).

Ruburt read an article about the development of a strain of mice without thymus [glands]. [...]

[...] (Jean Baptiste de Monet de Lamarck [1744–1829] was a French naturalist who advocated that certain modifications of an organism’s structure and function could develop in response to environmental factors, and that these “acquired characters” could be inherited. [...]

[...] He is also however, those portions of himself who are far less developed for they all exist as one and there are really no separations, and all the portions of himself that were less developed are aware of this correspondence. [...]

(To Natalie Swing.) And when friends appear by your bedside you greet them heartily, and you realize that they have known you in the past and that they have your concern and development at heart. [...]

[...] This has led you to develop psychic abilities for creative purposes—that you would not have needed nor sought otherwise.

[...] At that time in your development you were afraid of emotions in art to such a degree that you chose in comics to deal with stereotypes rather than individual characters, to follow rigid patterns.

Yet human forms and faces intrigue you, hence the development of these creative visions, which are actually often highly intensified emotionally. [...]

[...] Both of us, correctly it developed, attributed the crying feeling to regret at some of our past efforts that were not as successful as we had hoped they would be, regarding using the material to help others, to get it published, etc.

[...] He is not a personality fully developed in those larger terms of which I speak. [...]

[...] Some mature and develop, some are in ways I have not yet explained, transitory. [...]

[...] The emotional factors are extremely vital, both in the development and in the healing of all dis-hyphen-eases.

[...] You have been led here—you are to develop your abilities. [...]

[...] The beliefs were necessary to his development. [...]

He will take particular joy in watching his own children develop, because he did not develop in that past life to maturity, though this of course was not definitely in your dream.

[...] Obviously I cannot tell you everything at once, and the man’s abilities are well developed. [...]

[...] The personal associations on his part that do not apply to the test object, do represent the fact that his own abilities have not fully developed.

[...] They expect that they will develop all of their capabilities. [...]

Children possess this high expectancy, this promise of future growth and development, and whenever those expectations are discouraged, then to that extent the quality of life itself is diminished. [...]

[...] Individual development suffered in many ways. [...]

[...] Their meanings unfold as your own development does. [...]

I make this as a strong recommendation, for if you are to obtain full benefits from your developments, then you simply must become proficient along these lines. [...]

[...] To fully develop yourselves psychically, such experiences are necessary. [...]

Had you continued engrossed entirely in the commercial field your painting would not have developed. [...]

Your artistic abilities, because of their power, demand other abilities for their fulfillment, and you are now just becoming free enough to develop these other abilities. [...]

[...] Instead you share certain patterns of development, images, memories, and desires. [...]

1. In Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality Seth began developing his theory of counterparts — that the larger psychological self, or entity, of each of us manifests not just one physical life in any given century, say, but several, so as to gain that much more experience in a variety of roles involving different ages, nationalities and languages, sexual orientations, family roles, and so forth. [...]

The soul is too great to know itself, yet each individual portion of the soul seeks this knowledge and in the seeking creates new possibilities of development, new dimensions of actuality. [...]

[...] The content is lost now, but I think it had to do with my own psychic development. [...]

[...] Your friend, in developing her own abilities, has become involved with activities in probable fields and was drawn to the couple emotionally because of her emotional connection with you in this system.

[...] They disappeared from your view, but energy created in such a fashion, as you know, cannot be negated and must continue along its own lines of development.

[...] We chanced interruptions but none developed.

(A companion prediction to this one, made by Seth at the same time and concerning the outbreak of a narcotics investigation in the Elmira area, within three months, developed as predicted.)

[...] The fingers were very sensitive, and since then he has always developed the ability to use his hands to advantage in nimble ways. [...]
