“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] “When I sit on the couch and relax after supper, I don’t want to do anything,” she said. [...]

[...] I also want to see, however, that Ruburt’s own rhythms are followed, so that you do not get an overconcentration of renewed worries or concerns. [...]

I recommend again that Ruburt not forget to look into the library, to do some energy research on himself, and in whatever way possible try to encourage an atmosphere in which he is “less careful.” [...]

Now: give us a moment, and we will do this in our own way.

[...] Do you follow me?

(“Well, do you want to say something about my Jamaica thing?” Of Saturday, November 16, 1974.)

[...] If I told you that God was an idea, you would not understand what I meant, for you do not understand the dimensions in which an idea has its reality, or the energy that it can originate and propel. You do not believe in ideas in the same way that you believe in physical objects, so if I tell you that God is an idea, you will misinterpret this to mean that God is less than real — nebulous, without reality, without purpose, and without motive action.

Now: Whether or not the Crucifixion occurred physically, it was a psychic event, and exists as do all the other events connected with the drama.

[...] I also told you that rather exciting improvements will shortly show themselves, and when they do many of your fears will be laid to rest. [...]

[...] Every so often I do get glimpses, imperfect ones, that living is easy, that we are safe, each and every one of us, that we’re never annihilated, that mundane worries about money, insurance, jobs, and so forth are in deeper terms quite beside the point. [...]

(Pause.) When you examine the state of dreams, however, you do it as a rule from the framework of waking reality. [...]

[...] I am taking it for granted that you understand that I am referring to the ‘mental attitude’ of animals and of the body consciousness, for they do possess their own mental attributes—psychological colorations—and above all, emotional ‘states.’”

[...] You are rarely aware of such experiences because you do not believe them possible, and it seems that even consciousness, particularly when individualized, must be in one place or another.

[...] To do this he became part water in a kind of identification you can barely understand — but so did the water then become part of the man.

Something to do with a fabric also.

[...] At psychic levels, the qualities you need for sessions and your own work do not mesh with the overriding need to help others. [...]

[...] Not perfectly, but she did do it …)

[...] Actually of course the whole thing has to do with the nature of beliefs, not the nature of the muscles, for they will act as you believe they will.

[...] They feel safe and protected even when the events of their lives do not seem favorable. [...]

Exuberance and joy, however, basically have nothing to do with time or age. [...]

There are innumerable ways of reclaiming joy in living, however, and in so doing (long pause) physical health may be reclaimed by those who have found it lacking in their experience.

[...] We do this all of the time, of course, individually and collectively.

You limit the capacity of your conscious mind by refusing to allow it to use a larger scope of attention, so that you have remained closed and ignorant about the different, varied, but rich experiences of other species: They do appear beneath you. [...]

[...] After giving some material for Jane, Seth ended the session at 10:32 P.M. “I had no idea he was going to do it that way,” Jane said. [...]

[...] When I speak of time, I do not merely refer to other centuries as you think of them. [...]

[...] I do know there’s a certain amount I’m supposed to get through tonight. [...]

[...] I do not mean that a moment is simply stretched, or that time is slowed down alone, but that all the experiences possible within a moment become realities within that framework.”

“Sunday, June 8, 1980: As I went about the day, showering, doing my hair, reading the paper, doing my exercises and so forth, I kept getting stuff from Seth on … the next chapter of his book, I think to be called ‘Master Events and Overlays.’ There can be overlays of one civilization onto another, so that a ‘real’ civilization in one sphere of existence can appear as myth in another…. [...]

(Seth stared at me, so I asked: “What do you think of my dreams of the last two nights?”)

[...] Self-structures know and do not know that they know. [...] They do this consciously in your terms. [...]

You are going beyond Seth, to a part of Seth you do not know.

[...] Actually, as I spoke for Seth I paced the room constantly, yet was hardly aware of doing so. [...]

[...] It contained all the abilities of your friend, whether latent or not I do not know. [...]

[...] Did people do this often? [...]

“You don’t have to make your mind up one way or the other tonight, do you?” Rob asked. [...]

[...] Jane’s friend Dee Masters, who had once been director at the gallery where Jane works, and who has been dealt with by Seth at various times, was doing something at an agitator-type washing machine. [...]

[...] For the record, you realize that when I speak of consciousnesses I do not refer to that conscious ego, but rather to inner consciousness, that then helps form the material image.

I—do you want a break?

[...] The purpose of the whole sequence was reassuring, and in overall nature had to do with the personality’s inner reaction to the season of an approaching winter and the ever symbolic death that it suggests.

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session — and doing much better than she had yesterday. [...] She had a smoke and I worked on mail while waiting to see if she wanted to do any more reading.

[...] These also had to do with the unremitting purpose of work. [...]

[...] I will not give you definite recommendations as to what you should do now. [...]

[...] You do not thoroughly understand the interaction of beliefs, the give and take of energy patterns.
