“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In such a way the cells retain their memory, though you do not perceive it, and the body is aware of so-called future occurrences, though as a rule you do not consciously sense this. (Suddenly very intense and fast:) At other levels of psychic activity however such knowledge is also available to you, but only when you disconnect your experience from the time-activated neuronal structure — and this you can do through various alterations of consciousness, often quite spontaneously adopted.

[...] But which world do you inhabit? [...] You do go through transformations of beliefs all the time, and your perception of the world is different. [...]

[...] This is one of the reasons why psychics’ predictions often do not seem to bear out, for at every point you do indeed have the free will, through your beliefs, to alter your experience.

[...] Practically speaking, you do indeed form the appearance that reality takes through your conscious beliefs. [...]

[...] You do not need the direct opposite. Do you follow me?

[...] In the same way do you travel in other realities without being aware of your journeys. [...]

If you try to do this from a dream state then you must set aside two and one-half hours, for the first portion will be used as preliminaries. [...]

[...] You have in fact often done this, though you do not remember. [...]

All of this has to do with man’s intent and his understanding. The same relationships, however, do not only exist between human bodies, of course, but between man and the animals and the plants in the environment, and is part of the unending biological communication that overall produces the vitality of physical experience.

(9:35 P.M. “Jesus, I didn’t know whether I could do it or not,” Jane said, “but I felt all that stuff there in a great big block, and I just had to get it out. I like it when I do that. [...]

(Jane and I do have colds—full-blown ones, evidently picked up from one of our visitors last Saturday evening. [...]

The body maintains its vitality not only through the physical motion and agility that you perceive, but by microscopic agility, and actions within microseconds, that you do not perceive. [...]

[...] As it was, we sat for the session, with a resolve to try to do better next time. We do make progress in such affairs as visitors, expected or not expected, but could do much better.

Many people, not all, do “not see the world as others see it,” and so there are social and medical explanations. The eyes do not function right—and they are given glasses. [...]

(3. What do you think about people’s reactions to “Unknown” Reality so far?

The body even lovingly seeks to follow its own nature, and is lovingly directed to do so. [...]

[...] In childhood you do this automatically. You do not question the gifts of the gods, so to speak.

[...] Only when you say “I do not want it in this area,” do you cut down on that energy flow.

[...] These notes don’t really do justice to the extent of her bodily changes, improvements, that she’s been undergoing. [...]

(9:48.) You are both doing very well. [...]

Do not label yourselves, for then you often try to live up to those labels, and they can be highly limiting. I do my own part in these sessions, and if I may say so (highly amused:) very well indeed—and yet there is certainly something in Ruburt’s mind and abilities that allows him to speak, regardless, over the years, an immense amount of material, some of it highly detailed and orderly. [...]

Your own ease in “Unknown” now is the result of your suspension of self-disapproval, and would be the same if you were doing appendixes. You do need to support each other in that regard, helping each other to approve of yourselves.

(My own chest difficulties are much improved, although at the same time I’m not doing any additional hard physical labor. [...]

[...] He did not at that time, as is supposed, do sacrifice then to win the gods’ approval. [...]

First of all, (to me) do not lose your sense of perspective, that larger perspective, that our work should give you. [...] There is more, and there are trends now in your own reality that you do not see.

[...] Now the first, quote “mass” entries do not give you war. [...] They do not realize the potential of their own energy, and it is not until they begin to realize it that they are, quote, “led into temptation.”

[...] What they do learn however is always retained. [...]

Within your system, for the “first time”, in quotes, individualized consciousness is strongly-enough organized to do, in quotes, “good or evil.” [...]

[...] Now you do vary in your attitudes, but only in degree. [...] These attitudes, then, do not help. [...]

[...] Do you follow me?

Now a small note: Your poor, misguided, unjolly bachelor friend downstairs did you a service many times, in complementing your wife when you were unable to do so, in giving her a sense or a glimmer of female pride or appreciation when you were unable to communicate, and you knew this.

[...] Both of you have the same attitude, which means that they are magnified, doing double duty.

[...] “I have some difficulties with Ruburt’s own stubborn attitude at times; but we must also take this into consideration, and so we shall … I will seriously endeavor to do what I can do, within our circumstances. [...] We can do much. Much we cannot do. [...]

[...] We do not need a hammer to crack the eggshell. … I am an egghead, but do not need a hammer to be cracked.” [...]

I wanted to find out if Seth could do what he said he could do. [...]

[...] I don’t know what I expected from Dr. Osis, but I sure as the devil wasn’t ready to see what Seth could or could not do. [...]

[...] Beyond that, however, in the meantime the violence that you do, you do to yourself. You are a part of All That Is—of all the nature that you know and experience, of the world that you know, and even a part of the world that you know that you do not like. [...] Violence will always be used creatively, but if you do not understand this—and at your present rate of development you do not—then any violence is violence against yourself. [...]

“You do not perceive the consciousness within the self. You do not perceive the consciousness within a star, either—yet the star is the physical materialization in your reality of another kind of consciousness, and all you perceive of it.”

(Because the proper detection equipment was not in place, government officials do not know just how much radiation was released into the Pennsylvania countryside 28 months ago [in March 1979], when the reactor of Unit No. [...]

[...] She’d had trouble doing that at various times in the past year. [...]

[...] Tam told Jane that at our request he’d checked with John Nelson, who in turn had checked the contract with the Swiss publisher, to the effect that the German-language translation of Seth Speaks is definitely not to be cut, as that particular publisher had wanted to do a couple of years ago. So the two foreign-language editions of that book are certainly good news —the kind that Seth wants Jane to list daily, as he suggested she do. [...]

[...] Neither Jane nor I have the temperament for it, or even the time if we did want to do it. [...] Not an easy thing to do at all, unless lots of time was available, and perhaps an exceptional willingness to learn on the parts of such families. [...]

Apropos of your remarks: you should do your work, as you used the term, first of all because you both want to do it. [...]

I want to give a fairly thorough session Wednesday on your current circumstances, and Ruburt’s condition, so I will do that then. I would suggest, however, that you again begin to do the library together for a few moments each day. [...]

[...] “I’ve seen the same situation come up many times in the past, and let it go, but we can’t do that now....” [...] I did tell Jane I understood what Frank Longwell was doing, and appreciated his efforts to help, so generously given. But I added that FL could massage her legs “till doomsday,” and it would do little good until we came to terms with the basic causes behind the symptoms.

[...] “What good does his giving up his physical mobility do? There must be many other ways of calling attention to any problems than doing that.” [...]

(I did not understand what there was to work on about going to the john, since it was absolutely essential that one do so. [...]

(A remark she made yesterday probably had helped crystallize my own new determination to do something about what seemed to be a badly eroding situation: She said that Tam had recently told her that Mass Events was due to be published on the 13th—today—with God of Jane due out early in May. [...]

I do think that these sessions have helped you, generally speaking. [...] However at the same time you do set up these blocks; for you are not afraid of the answers, but you are afraid basically that they could be given in this manner.

[...] Nevertheless, if you have a test for us this evening then we shall do what we can, since it is not good particularly for him to refrain through fear. [...] Therefore, if you have a test for us we shall see what we can do.

[...] I do not know to what this refers... An address, I do not know. [...]

I am speaking of these matters since I have intended to do so personally to you, and also because they tie in very well, as you will see, with some of our own discussions. [...]

[...] She ate a good lunch, though, and seemed to be doing okay.

[...] She zipped right through it — doing the best she has in some little while — and finished at 2:55. [...]

[...] After all, if that was the case and things went wrong, the body consciousness could see its own death approaching, even, and not be able to do anything about it …”

When those negative considerations are multiplied, however, when they harden, so to speak, then they do indeed begin to diminish the body’s own natural capacity to heal itself, and to maintain that overall, priceless organization that should maintain it in a condition of excellent strength and vitality.

[...] I am not going into Ruburt’s condition to any great degree, but I do have some information. Obviously he is in the middle of a learning adventure, trying to do far more with his ordinary consciousness than most people, and trying to solve his problems and encounter his challenges without relying upon old structures of belief—healthwise not relying upon doctors or dentists. [...]

[...] Do not make a big production out of it. Obviously, do not expect Ruburt to instantly kick up his heels, either. [...]

[...] He needs, again, however, the assurance that he can do far better physically.

[...] Otherwise they rebel—not against motion, but against the exterior commands that do not come from within. [...]

(“I’ll bet no doctor would have thought I could do that,” she said. “What was I doing, anyway? [...]

[...] “I’m doing my best yet,” she said, surprised and pleased. [...]

[...] “I can tell the muscles want to do it, but all of them aren’t ready yet. [...]

[...] “What the hell was I doing?” she asked, surprised. [...]

[...] Other dimensional realities do appear within your system but you do not recognize them. [...]

This is in connection with the lectures you are being given having to do with time and identity. [...]

It is as if each number represents not only the number itself, not only a unit to be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided, but also as if each number had infinite varieties of intensities that you do not perceive. [...]

This sort of expansion and contraction has nothing to do with addition or subtraction, multiplication or division; but it is an inherent quality of all units.

[...] Now there is a natural attraction between yourself and other probable selves, electromagnetic connections having to do with simultaneous propulsions of energy. By this I mean energy that appears simultaneously both to you and probable selves in other realities; psychic connections having to do with a uniting, sympathetic, emotional reaction and a connection that shows up very strongly in the dream state.

[...] Where your vision fails, you think reality ceases, so again you must train yourselves to look between events, between objects, within yourself when you do not seem to be doing anything. [...]

(9:31.) I do not like the phrase, “to advance”, yet in your terms “to advance” as a consciousness is to become more and more aware of these other materializations of your own identity. [...]

[...] Instead the identity is what they are, with full freedom to express all probable actions and developments, both in this reality and in others that you do not know.

(Amused:) On the other hand, dead people do not usually write books either — now do they?

[...] As you’ll see, he managed to do both, winding a discussion of my dream into his own material about the psyche.)

[...] Dead people do not read books. [...]

[...] My focus, however, is in an area that you do not perceive. [...]

[...] You do live in a safe universe. You do. [...]

[...] In so doing you not only help yourself but others as well, for they perceive your safety, and look for the reasons. [...]

[...] When you do, then you pick up such threats almost as if you believed this would somehow compensate.

[...] Do you follow me?
