“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He feels that sometimes (underlined) you do not understand his position. He feels that you do not realize that while you are both busy four nights a week, that he is highly creatively and psychically involved with psychic work, that it is not just business.

Consciously of course they do not. Underneath they know there is a communication, but they do not realize they are being painted as such. [...]

[...] He enjoyed last evening’s spontaneous session (for Jane’s Tuesday night ESP class), and such sessions, while they do not particularly add to our material, replenish his creative efforts and give him a sense of freedom. [...]

[...] This also had something to do with this evening’s reaction. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, we do here find a personality who has been, in this life, from an early age, involved in a most complicated network of emotional involvement, concerning both mother and father—and do I speak too quickly for you, Joseph?

An aside here: the incident involving the woman had mainly to do—I suggest here, my esteemed Joseph, that perhaps you watch Ruburt’s features. And I would also like to mention the fact that indeed the woman in our gathering, Aniac, does indeed have abilities that are not being used, and possibilities for energy focus which she would do well to explore.

[...] I do not know if you can perceive the difference in the emotional proximity this evening between us now. And if I do badger Ruburt as I did this evening, it is because I too have an emotional reaction in all of this.

There is what amounts at times to a wall that separates us, as far as emotion is concerned, and this is our Ruburt’s doing, though of course he does not do it deliberately. [...]

(9:12.) This does not mean that some children do not do very well under your system. (Pause.) I do not mean to imply, either, that children do not need an education, or that some discipline and direction are not beneficial. [...]

It is doing so because Ruburt is giving it different “orders.” He is giving it a different picture of the world, and he is doing that because he has finally changed many of his old beliefs.

[...] I’d forgotten to do it last night, so absorbed was I in working on the copy-edited Mass Events. [...]

[...] You did that apart from what you had to do in school as a boy. [...]

[...] I do not want to shock you, but there are quite as many cases of honest heroism as there are crimes committed. [...] There are compensating, creative earth patterns occurring in terms of energy, but these do not show.

If you do not understand this, then you will take your newspapers and other news unthinkingly, thinking that a fairly adequate picture of world events is being portrayed—a picture that only deepens the negative feelings that are behind the invisible organization of such data. [...]

[...] How many more politicians do the same thing?”

[...] In a way you organize your physical experience as you do your inner life, through association, through emotional association. [...]

You however do have free will, for while the entity’s psychic structure can be compared to the body, it is a part of and inhabits far greater dimensions. All of this may seem to have little to do with your personal reality. [...]

[...] (Very positively:) So out of the soul’s resplendent psychic richness do you spring with your free will and desire. [...] You also produce forms of art — fluid living constructs that you do not understand, in terms of societies and civilizations — and all of these flow through your alliance with flesh and blood.

[...] They do not perceive all of the elements that are available even in three-dimensional experience, yet your present consciousness — seemingly so much more sophisticated — physically rests upon cellular awareness.

Do you want a break?

[...] You do not remember the most important part of these nightly adventures, and so those you do recall seem bizarre or chaotic as a rule. [...]

(“Do you know what I said to Jane yesterday — about our going on tour to promote The Seth Material? Do you have any thoughts on this?”)

You do exist consciously in a coherent, purposeful creative state while the physical body sleeps, however, and you carry on many of the activities that I told you would be encountered after death. [...]

[...] Your daily experiences are the dreams that it dreams, so when you look at your dreaming self or consider it, you do so with a highly prejudiced eye, taking it for granted that your “reality” is real, and its reality is illusion.

(9:50.) The entire premise is highly faulty, for the species deals with value fulfillment and quality, as do all forms of life, and not with mere physical reproduction. The sexual aspects of men and women do not exist apart from their individual psychological make-ups, but connected with all of the other unique individual characteristics.

The excellence in sports, however, also involved the accepted thing to do. [...] Something like the driveway usually involves an inner dilemma: “Shall I do creative work or physical activity?” in rather absolute terms.

When you do not approve of yourselves, then you do not approve of your own power, and so you pretend that you have none. [...]

Taxes or whatever might serve as a trigger, but the basic point is that you do not approve of what you are doing. [...]

[...] Now do not say to me that is the way things are. Do you understand?

As you do, your behavior does change, and Ruburt there (underlined) is not projecting. [...]

Now for some time he did not see that look, and you were doing very well, but you slid back just at a time when he was trying to put the advice in my book to use.

You do exaggerate the Prentice relationship negatively. [...]

You should be able to do this when you are painting. Do not try too hard. [...]

You will be able to create so that your creations exist in more dimensions than they do now. [...] Those who view your creations will also have more abilities than they do now.

I do not want to go into this particularly this evening, but mention it because of the recent activities. [...]

[...] Remember however that there were also reasons having to do with past life experience, and that all of you chose these conditions.

[...] For most people do not try that hard to preserve the living moment, or to understand it, while they are still involved with time’s physical package. [...] A bold venture, and one that fits in quite will with your intents jointly to understand and preserve fleeting reality, and one that conflicts with your attempts to do this in the context of one physical time that passes.

I want you each to make a list, then, of what you want to do in a day. You can quite properly decide, if you want, how many hours you want to devote to given activities, but do not think of schedules, but instead of the flow of timeless energy into time. [...]

[...] Jane has been extremely sore in her arms, shoulders, rib cage, and so forth today, yet she was able to stand taller, by leaning against the bathroom door frame, than I’d seen her do in a very long time. [...]

[...] Ruburt went in a very short period of days from doing relatively little physically to giving the legs rather constant stimulation with the chair. [...]

[...] Tam called Jane to inform her that Eleanor called John Nelson [which Jane already knew] —but that Eleanor and her screenwriter friend had the money to do a movie for Seven. [...] Townsend is involved with Alan Neuman, of course, who also wants to do a movie of the first Seven book, etc. [...]

Now (humorously), I am here, more or less in a recording or in the original, whenever you want me—but I do want to reassure you both that you are indeed doing well.

[...] Oversoul Seven is also involved in some fashion, especially the movie aspects —for when Jane called Eleanor Friede to offer her Emir, Eleanor told Jane she was about to call her about Seven, the call having to do with possible motion picture connotations, through a well-known screenwriter; that is the kind of event intertwined with the whole affair; nor have Jane and Eleanor contacted each other for probably a couple of years.

[...] There will be no problem with the walking, and in a short time these complete processes will be at a point where he will consistently want to do more walking on a day-by-day basis. [...]

Maturity has nothing to do with the meaning of the reptiles and mammals mentioned as dream images. [...] The reptilian images do not represent maturity nor immaturity, but are simply designations natural to a particular level of cellular consciousness.

[...] The ego attempts to stand apart and observe, but in order to do so it narrows the available field of perception. Once it has formed its characteristics, it has already become too specialized to do more than observe certain limited fields of activity. [...]

(Wendell’s letter of May 26 is two typewritten pages long, and at the moment we do not plan to include a copy of it with these notes. If necessary we will do so; in the meantime the letter remains on file with other envelope-related material. [...]

[...] In your social framework women are afraid of reptiles, and they do not consciously remember dreams involving these. [...]

[...] He is quite unaware, consciously, of doing any work for these sessions. He does, of course, for our communications do not just happen, and my voice (much louder, briefly) like his, is an inspired one.

[...] He also felt that his inspiration threatened you with more work, which, it seemed to him, was not particularly pleasant for you, since you often spoke about your difficulties in doing the notes, and only lately have you begun to say when you are doing well.

[...] He began thinking in terms of what he could do, so that now we see that he is not only physically desiring to do more, and trying it, but also mentally stimulated, and with a new sense of purpose as far as “Unknown” is concerned, and a desire reawakened to play with Seven.

[...] Make an effort to alter your focus—just your focus—so that you concentrate upon what you want to do. If you do that, then distractions will seem to minimize almost immediately. [...]

[...] In the dream I saw myself as a rather corpulent older individual wearing robes as they do in the Middle East; at an elaborate feast I watched mice being burned alive in a special gadget, before we skinned and ate their corpses. In the dream I swore off doing so ever again. [...]

(I had another question for Seth: What should Jane do about her walking on days when she doesn’t feel like doing so—as today? [...]

[...] Acts which fit in with the good-intended universe, in which basically each life and detail, seeking its good, also works for the good of all others, bring forth what you call good acts—simple enough acts which are not well-intentioned in that light, toward the self or others “do not work right.” [...]

Acts not well-intentioned clash with the basic structures that form experience, and hence they do indeed appear in grotesque, fragmented or distorted form—often all the more reprehensible in contrast to their stated intent.

I do not want you to take any time from your own painting to work on Book One of the Seth sessions, nor do I want anyone else to record the sessions.

[...] I will cut one of our sessions next week very short, to make up for this one, but I do not believe that even now you realize the service that I am trying to do you both, and myself.

[...] I will not reprimand you if you do not take this course. I do say that it is the best one.

[...] I do not want you to feel under pressure from me, but in fairness to our relationship I could do no less than point out the course of less resistance, and of best hope of success.

(This flexibility also generates some challenges, however, for the great amount of material we’ve accumulated during the Mass Events hiatus gave us the urge to see what we could do about getting at least some of it published, so that others could benefit. The problem — the challenge — would be to find the physical time to do the necessary editing and notes to put such a manuscript in shape for publication; this would be a job that could easily take a year. [...]

[...] Many people are almost consciously aware of what they are doing. All they have to do is pay attention to the suggestions offered so freely by the society. [...]

Give us a moment… Physicians, of course, are also constantly at the beck and call of many people who will take no responsibility at all for their own well-being, who will plead for operations they do not need. The physician is also visited by people who do not want to get well, and use the doctor and his methods as justification for further illness, saying: “The doctor is no good,” or “The medicine will not work,” therefore blaming the doctor for a way of life they have no intention of changing.

In this country, your tax dollars go for many medical experiments and preventative-medicine drives — because you do not trust the good intent of your own bodies. In the same way, your government funds [also] go into military defenses to prevent war, because if you do not trust your own body’s good intent toward you, you can hardly trust any good intent on the part of your fellow men.

[...] Some of the data I will give you as a guide, but much you shall do on your own. There is no way to probe the realities of consciousness except that a personality travels through all levels of consciousness open to him, and do so in such a way that he can retain and apply the information that he receives in these inner travels.

I get the number 3 4 1, but do not know to what it refers. [...] Having to do with a relative, and a variation in usual schedules, daily schedules. [...]

On some occasion however I do want to discuss this matter of our sessions, as to when they should and should not be held; and I repeat: in no way do I ever attempt to influence Ruburt’s subconscious mind.

I mentioned earlier that with training you can do this in your sleep. [...]

[...] We will see what we can do however, and if we do not get the correct data this evening, we shall do so eventually.

[...] It simply means that what you are trying to do, consciously, you have been doing without knowing it all the while.

[...] Perhaps the initials R L, having to do with these and something to do with 14. [...]

If your Friday get-togethers have become boring, it is to a large extent because you have both allowed them to do so, and not taken the lead in directing the conversations along more responsible lines. [...]

You do have strong perfectionist leanings. They are, whether you know it or not, also projected by you upon Ruburt, so that you do see his physical condition as an outrage, not only literally but symbolically. [...]

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] Now much of this has to do with his own characteristics, as given, and ways of reacting. [...]

The sessions having to do with your sexual life are important, vitally so.

[...] See yourself doing what you would do. If you cannot communicate with others, imagine yourself doing so easily. [...]

[...] You do what you decided to do anyway — have the session — but by punishing yourself with your own personal interpretation.

[...] If you do the work then you can rest assured of the results, but you must not check constantly for them. Do you see the difference?

You do not have to carry such a belief. [...]
