“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] We do not watch as human forms. [...] We do not understand too clearly the nature of the reality that you are creating even though the seeds were given to you by us. [...] Do not let the weak sounds that reach you confuse you. [...]

Now I want you to do several things. [...] The physical life that you do not understand, that is now the vehicle for the expression of your self. [...]

([Ron L.:] “Do you see, in other words, when Jane is speaking can you see the room or do you only see the room?...”)

[...] Into another dimension in which times are not manufactured and moments of any kind do not exist. [...]

For now do not do shows. [...] Do you see the difference?

[...] After supper Jane said to me, in effect: “I don’t know how we do it. It goes on at some level between us, beneath consciousness—this thing of deciding what we’re going to do next.”)

[...] A series of shows now however would mitigate against what we are trying to do. Do you see the difference?

[...] This is what you are supposed to do with money that you do not need. [...]

Once begun it contains its own motive power then, repelling those elements that do not fit in with its sense of unity, and attracting those that do. [...] You see the color and the brush strokes but you do not see the inner workings that led you to produce those particular brush strokes. You know they are there, the inner meanings, but you do not see them in physical terms. [...]

[...] I do not know if this has to do with the house situation, or to your painting. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Do not say “so-and-so will buy such-and-such a painting, he has the money,” if there is any touch of accusation in the statement “He has money.” Do you follow me?

[...] While the emphasis in our last sessions has been mainly on Ruburt’s condition, there is a definite overall general application, and this portion of the material will someday be used, though not verbatim, in a book having to do with my ideas on health.

Now I understand precisely what it is that I must do. [...] If I told you that I would sing for you, then I do believe you would all be here “en force.” I do not make any such promises, however. [...]

Our Lady of Florence, you do not have to fight so hard for it! [...]

[...] I also expect another member of the class to come awake in the dream state and to do very well after two years. [...]

[...] And now, I do bid you a good evening and a Happy New Decade. [...]

[...] You will have the opportunity to do it because of your intuitive understanding, and this is something that most people haven’t developed enough to do. [...]

(Seth:) First of all you will not leave this group because you do not want to. You will work out your problems in the last group, and I will help you do so if you want me to. [...]

[...] The sense of resistance has to do with the neurosis picked up in that time. [...]

[...] Do you understand me? [...]

Now I do have something to say to this one (Sue W.), and that one (Jim H.), and to some extent to all of you. [...] You do not need to write or preach to justify yourselves, for instance. [...]

[...] You cannot be hounded from one level of reality to another by a fear that you do not understand. [...] Each of your personalities are free to accept and develop, from the miraculous banks of reality, those experiences and emotions that you want, and to reject those you do not want.

[...] If you do not like your experience, then look within yourself and change it. [...] What you do with it is up to the individual personality.

[...] You do not have to justify in any terms.

[...] You do not have to be an Indian guru, or appear and disappear at will, so the books invite instant challenge. People do not feel silly buying such a paperback, but many of these people, in the general public now, have to make certain mental adjustments before they will spend more. [...]

The paperback Personal Reality will be highly important in the ultimate changes that do take place. [...] If you went out in a grand manner, publicizing the books, appearing on shows, you could indeed quicken the pace—but in so doing other intangibles would also be altered. [...]

Prentice knows that the hardcovers will continue to do well over the years. They also understand that the general market paperbacks do not last—that is, they come apart. [...]

Now, you mentioned some important issues pertaining to the books yourself this evening, having to do with their particular nature.

And do not judge according to your egotistical ideas alone. [...] Now when I say this, I do not mean that the truths were difficult. [...] And you are so doing and you are working toward solutions. [...]

[...] And at the present time you are not willing to give that much attention to these other portions of your personality that you recognize do exist. [...] You come to class because you like me—you also come to class because it is your contact with this inner reality and you do not want to lose contact with it. [...]

Because you try too hard when you try, because you do not relax enough and because you have this compulsive idea of getting along financially. [...] Now, your psychic abilities can help you in your daily life if you will let them do so. [...]

[...] Now in the past existence, you were younger than this older man and you were constantly trying to prove to him that you could do without him, and so you are constantly trying to prove to your wife that you can do without her in that particular respect. [...]

[...] If you do not trust your physical nature you radiate this feeling also, regardless of what health procedures you may take. The cells and organs know that you do not trust them, even as animals do. In a way you set up antibodies against yourself, simply because you do not confirm the rightness of your physical being as it exists in space and time.

[...] You do not have to say “yes” to people, issues, or to events with which you are deeply disturbed. [...] You go along with your life, understanding that you form your experience, emphasizing your ability to do so.

(11:00.) Affirmation does not mean sitting back and saying “I can do nothing. [...]

[...] They do not permit themselves the dimensions of their creaturehood, and by pretending not to feel what they feel, they deny the integrity of their own experience.

This is not putting you in the role of a taskmaster, now, but I want you to join with him: “Can you do this? Come on, it’s only a game, see what you can do.” [...]

He can begin by walking up that flight, seeing how many times he can do it without too much trouble, but paying no attention to the way he goes down, which has been much more difficult for him. Do you follow me?

All of the rest of that session is important, even suggestions that do not seem emphasized. [...]

[...] They are both aspects of something that you do not as yet understand. [...]

([Joel to Bette:] “Do you have any feelings of what you were doing there? [...]

[...] He started to whimper and to cry when he knew that he had his home and his family to protect and he didn’t do it, and I had crying kids and I didn’t need a crying husband because the older kids could shoot much better than their father because he didn’t know how to pull the trigger. He didn’t know how to do anything.”

(Jane:] “Why do you think now that you try to help people that are in trouble, on the downside?”

[...] I sure didn’t. My kids sure didn’t and my husband didn’t. He couldn’t do anything.”

[...] When you do not know what else to do, relax and tell yourself that other portions of yourself do know what to do, and they will take over. [...] Now success does not necessarily involve great intellect or great position or great wealth, it has to do with inner integrity, remember that. [...]

(To Joel) Now you certainly understand that I am doing the same thing with you, in a different way, as I do with my very dear friend over here (Florence) in another way, so do not be offended. And I do not want any of you, you see, to use these ideas as superficial bandages to put over your bleeding psyches because these ideas can, on occasion, be used in a superficial manner. [...]

[...] You are far too intelligent not to realize, basically, what you are doing. I just want you to realize that I am intelligent enough to know what you are doing also. I did not say you were doing nothing. [...]

[...] He would have been too passive to do so. [...] Now, when I speak to you, I do not equate violence with evil anymore than I equate a summer storm which is violent with evil. [...]

At the same time, you both should — and do — try to turn your minds in other directions, so that the periods do not linger. [...]

[...] “It’s surprising,” I said, meaning Seth’s comments about our doing well in Framework 2, including the publishing angle. “I didn’t think I was doing that well.” [...]

(I do think Seth offered an excellent insight when he said that the blue periods on both our parts were ways of expressing fears. Without thinking about such bouts particularly, I suppose I at least had taken it for granted that the blue periods reflected weaknesses on my part, say — times when I should have known better or wasn’t doing well. [...]

(Long pause.) These can often serve as springboards, however, leading to greater understanding, and the feelings themselves do indeed help rid you of fears and doubts that are expressed through such a medium. [...]

Bega has had many lives...Do not limit yourself in your thinking... do not limit yourself in your feelings... and do not retreat in the summertime from your inner self.

[...] I do not want to see another painting. I do not want an attitude that says, “Is this it?” I want an intuitive feeling on your part and a recognition. Do you intuitively feel that that is a portrait of Bega? [...]

[...] and you were too intellectually smug to do so as Ruburt is often too intellectually smug to do what I ask him to do. [...]

[...] You must realize that within this room, and within any room, at any time there are other personalities that you do not perceive. [...] Possibly, with some help from certain directions, we shall see what we can do in other classes. [...]

Now each of you may do the same exercises for yourself also if you want to. The important thing is to do it easily. [...] When you do this sort of thing, one for the other, your love is added, gives extra force; and the love between you is relatively uncluttered, and can be directed well in this fashion.

It is somewhat for this reason that you do not more actively (underlined) use the positive encouragement of which Ruburt was earlier speaking. [...] Do you follow me here?

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] Have him do it out of the corner of his mind, as it were, and whenever it comes to his mind.

To some extent I have explored some of this, but it will do you well to join wholeheartedly into the very necessary spirit of the time, for it is constructive and most beneficial. And in so doing you help yourself and others.

(We do not see a connection with “Light and dark, with shadow shapes” particularly. [...] Jane’s father is of course “someone who visited here,” but we do not know what “A photograph” means, particularly, in the test data, since Seth did not elaborate.

(Usually now we do not ask Seth to explain every reference made in a test if we do not see any connection. [...]

[...] Jane, very amused, commented every so often that she received little “messages” from a certain party, expressing approval of our actions, and merely suggesting that we do get to the session at least a few minutes before the Instream material was due.

[...] I do not suggest that he do such writing (automatic writing) more than twice a week for now at the most, however. [...] I know that he knows this, and I do indeed commend him. I do not want his abilities to run away with him however.

[...] Impediments do not get in my way, for I do not throw up impediments of that kind. I do not throw up distortions of my own making, and therefore misinterpret the reactions of others. [...]

This book however will also point out the truths that do exist within the tattered garments of organized established religions; rip apart the crumbling fabric of dogma to the body of revelationary knowledge that was always there.

[...] Jane herself answered the call before I could do so. [...]

[...] You do things for him. [...] Instead you do it because he cannot do it, seemingly, well himself.

[...] The spiritualists, he found, would do so, and made overtures. [...] All he had to do was translate his experience into their terms, as before he felt he was expected to translate it into conventional religious, academic, or scientific terms.

I do not want to frighten you—but if we ever do The Nature of Cultural Reality, it will be a fine book.

[...] If you do not challenge them then you never come to the point of conflict. You do not even know that you have been taught to fear your own being. [...]

It is very possible to “see” such information and not see it at the same time, simply because you do not add all of the data together. No one can make you do that, of course. To do it you must have a sense of courage and adventuresomeness; and tell yourself that you refuse to be cowed by ideas that after all belong to you, but are not you.

[...] In so doing you try to repudiate the validity of your own experience. If you do not feel your individual reality, then you can never realize that you form it, and so can change it. [...] (Intently:) You mentally shout in such situations that you do not feel what you feel.

[...] Doing violence to your body, or another’s, is a violation. Doing violence to the spirit of another is a violation — but again, because you are conscious beings the interpretations are yours. [...]

[...] To do so would obliterate life as you know it.

[...] You do not have to follow me to the best of your ability. You do not have to follow me and visitors here this evening do not have to feel as if they must follow me. Allow yourselves the freedom not to follow me if you do not feel like it. [...] That is, you have the same energy within you, if you decide to use it you can do so. [...]

[...] You are not aware of them and so you do not accept them as a portion of your own experience and yet they do exist. [...]

[...] As you learn to live spontaneously on a physical level, so automatically you will be able to build up such forms and when you do you must learn to train them. [...] Ruburt has an experiment in mind however and so I will wait and see how you do. [...]

[...] You are all doing very well. [...]
