“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The units can and do intermix, yet because of the propensity for selectivity and significance, whole groups of them will “repel” other whole groups, thus providing a protective inner system of interaction.

[...] Do you see the correlation?

[...] These concepts alone do alter your present consciousness, and change it in degree. [...]

I do not want to get involved in a discussion of “levels,” in which progression is supposed to occur from one to the other. [...]

[...] I do not believe that the rings themselves are larger than a pencil—thicker, that is, but the circles inside are large. Nor do I know their purpose. [...]

[...] You simply do not recognize that the so-called past exists now as surely as the so-called future exists now.

[...] Whether this is recent, or whether he is thinking of a dead friend I do not know. [...]

[...] Also connected with the man is the initial J, though I do not know if this is the man’s initial. [...]

[...] I am doing this simply as a good and kind gesture. I do not make such gestures lightly however, for there is something to be gained by understanding reactions. I do not like to interfere as a rule. (Long pause.) I will however, because I do sympathize, see to it that Ruburt’s condition immediately changes for the better, in all ways.

[...] These dates have to do with your general overall peaks of psychic activity.

Do you have an envelope for me?

Having to do with a change of plan. [...]

[...] In the meantime, I have no conscious memory of being an old man, let alone one in the specific, dependent situation in which I saw myself: However, aside from the idea of simultaneous time, I do believe that an individual can touch upon at least some of his or her earlier lives, provided enough long-term effort is given to the endeavor. Since through my internal vision I evidently looked in upon a particular past life of my own, however unaware I was of what I was doing, it seems that the knowledge of that existence may not be too deeply buried within my psyche. [...]

If you do not understand the natural grace of your being¹ then when you try some of the exercises given here you may automatically translate them into a quite limiting set of beliefs.

[...] As you leave your usual orientation, however, altering the focus of your consciousness, you may very well structure your new experience just as you do your physical one. [...]

[...] If they do not in one way or another come to your attention, then it is very possible that the denied energy behind them will erupt in ruptured relationships or illnesses.

[...] Do you read the front page and ignore sports, or vice versa? Do you read the gossip column? [...] Do you seek out stories of lurid crime, or look for further incidents of political chicanery? [...]

You do still continue such activity, again, [although] you have turned your conscious minds away from those directions. Most of it does not become conscious because you do not want it to. [...]

[...] (You do, for that matter, explore space in the same fashion, and on at least some occasions your own “visitors from outer space” are dream travelers from other dimensions of reality. [...]

[...] Ruburt must understand that his abilities do include such clairvoyantly received data. [...]

To some extent this was indeed a spiteful reaction, but do not forget it had been a good protector in the past, developed during Ruburt’s years with his mother into a strong armor. [...]

There is always some clairvoyant material to which he is reacting, generally speaking, even as you do. [...]

(“Do you want to say something about Jane’s dream?”)

[...] It is most essential that negative suggestions be drained away from her, and replaced by positive suggestions (long pause), and a massive effort to do so is required.

[...] One of the shocks mentioned had to do with a death; one with an incident shortly before her marriage; marriage itself was a shock, and the third one.

[...] At the time this deeply-held subconscious contribution had nothing to do with her husband.

[...] (Forceful delivery.) On your part, do not manufacture hollow, false assurances, but honestly and persistently remind yourself that the physical matter of your wife’s image is formed from and filled with universal energy. [...]

[...] She did much better than she has been doing lately, but still not too well. [...]

[...] They do not think in terms of impediments, and when one is encountered they simply regard it as a challenge to be overcome, and then forgotten. [...]

(“Why do you think the fund idea came along at this time?” I asked Jane. [...]

[...] Do you follow my meaning? [...]

Your remark about the dishes was most creative, despite the way the remark was put: “Soon you will be able to stand and do the dishes, and just enjoy the task.” [...] To expect Ruburt to do that the next moment, however, brought up instant contradictions. [...]

[...] When he’d done so later in the afternoon, he further offered to do the necessary work here at the house, saving Jane going to his office. [...]

[...] It is easy enough to at times look at others, perhaps now—for I am not saying that you do this—but perhaps romanticizing them, thinking that you would after all prefer a much simpler, more overtly physical existence, freed of any deep concerns about the nature of reality or the plight of the race.

[...] You both believed for years—and many years —that if you were gifted you had to do all you could to protect yourselves from others. [...]

[...] You help others whether or not you realize that you do, whether or not others realize that you do, whether or not you plan to help. [...]

[...] You do not know how far you can go in any given waves of activity until you see it objectified, or nearly so. [...]

[...] If they do not like what they have created often they throw it away; but always with the idea of learning from their errors, and forming another from the knowledge they have gained.

[...] There is so little that you do know that many situations appear meaningless or chaotic.

There are things I have to say, saved for private sessions, having to do with his condition about the house. [...] Encourage him to do so.

I do activate those coordinates that quicken your individual and joint understanding, and the natural healing processes that do indeed promote a resurgence of natural exuberance and pleasure.

(Jane reiterated that she hadn’t trusted her female body, and that she thinks she’s now paying for not having kids — after all, she’d been told that’s what women were supposed to do. [...]

(“If I ever felt high spirits I wouldn’t know what to do.”

[...] But then, isn’t that what we’re doing now, in a way? [...]

[...] Do not be concerned if his reading fluctuates, for the fluctuations are a necessary part of his improvement as various muscles try out their new facility. [...]

[...] As I did so she showed me a new motion with her right arm: now she could lift it higher from the shoulder as she lay on her back, and then reach farther across her body and up toward her left shoulder—something she hasn’t been able to do before today. [...]

[...] The cold seems to hamper everything else one wants to do, or feel. [...]

[...] I am speaking to you personally because you still do not draw upon it as freely as you can. [...] You feel it in your work when you are doing well, and that is the feeling I am speaking of.

[...] I do not want the two of you to forget or put off your intimate relations. [...]

[...] Do not withhold your leadership in that direction therefore, but give it gladly, as he can give it gladly in those areas where he is now growing proficient.

[...] Tell Ruburt the body knows what it is doing, and to not fear complications. Do you have other questions?

[...] He is only now learning again the knack of consciously directing the body in the way he wants to—at a certain level, for what he is really learning to do is change the directions he has been giving it, for those worked very well.

[...] Scientists do not suspect the altered quality that such adrenaline action gives, though they recognize the negative effects of overproduction. [...]

(I found some of the excerpts, notes, and comments very difficult to assemble and interpret, and others easy to do. The Seth material is incomplete, of course; new information “intrudes” constantly, and in so doing often takes off from a given subject in fresh directions. Some of this process has to do with Jane’s own character: She likes new things, new ideas. [...]

If the dream world, the mind, and the inner universe do exist, but not in space, and if they do not exist basically in time, though they may be glimpsed through time, then your question will be: In what medium or in what manner do they exist, and without time, how can they be said to exist in duration? [...]

Now, the so-called laws of your camouflage physical universe do not apply to the inner universe. They do not even apply to other camouflage planes. [...]

[...] Words do nearly forsake me, the semantic differences are so vast. [...] It had nothing to do with the propensity of certain kinds of cells to reproduce — [all cells are] imbued with the “drive” for value fulfillment — but with an overall illumination that set the conditions in which life was possible as you think of it; and at that imaginary, hypothetical point, all species became latent. [...]

I do not believe the following is precisely correct here: something like tottle (my interpretation) or turtle. Perhaps having to do with a name or address.

(“I do not believe the following is precisely correct here: Something like tottle or turtle. Perhaps having to do with a name or address.” [...]

[...] All of these do imply a whole, but the very term whole would again be meaningless if the whole, through self-conscious individual parts, were not conscious of itself.

[...] Your LSD and similar drugs do to some extent lift the imprinting process, though never completely.

There are differences between the two halves of the house, having to do with subterranean waterways and old gas pockets. [...] The area since the flood is not as healthy as it was, having to do with mains that were flooded. [...] Do you follow me?

[...] Most individuals therefore do not contend with larger portions of their own reality. [...]

(I thought at least that Jane could use the psychic awareness as intuition, etc., in her work, as everyone else did, do her “straight writing,” and let it go at that. [...]

[...] I didn’t know where the hell I was going...Take the Sumari, and when I hear the voices: what in hell am I supposed to do with those things?”

(Humorously again:) You do not consider a dream as a success or a failure. If the dream ends in a moment of destruction you do not consider the dream a failure. [...]

[...] In many cases you do consciously what you do unconsciously in any case. [...]

[...] But each moment can be used as a threshold into experiences that have no time, and I explained this to you, though you do not remember.

You turned the house symbolically into a normal-sized house so that you could enter it, but you did not do so. [...]

[...] I know you’re tired, but maybe I can do it. [...]

I do not want at this point to remind you, and so will leave the remark as is for now. [...]

[...] That yearning thing—I seem to get it more than you do. [...]
